I average about 23K to about 25K per year. Nothing major failed... (nocking on wood) I just did the head gaskets (2nd set) and motor is super clean inside. (see my other posts) I am now doing the in-line t-stat mod b/c i am tired of the T-stat issues with these things. I just had a brand new one out of the box cause me major head aches chasing my *** trouble shooting a over heating issue. The design sucks!

I put 125K miles on a set of michelin tires once. Now I'm looking to go with an off road look at this point and will be going with the Dura Tracs. Sears will be running them on sale next week I hear. Original shocks and springs are going to be replaced at the same time as well.

I took this back in June while driving, it is not very often you get to see this.......at least it is still driving - one can speculate if I was just going down hill realy fast at this point.

I have been using Moble 1 synthetic with K&N #3001 filters from the day I bought it in 2001.
