Default Made it to 100,000 miles in my 2003 today "In The Range" Original HGs

Hello All,
Just wanted to celebrate my 100,000 mile mark today in Brown County IN, on a cool steel bridge in the woods. Checkout the new LR HID light install too. My rover has only been serviced by me since October 2007 and one and only trip to the dealer ever. All service is up to date and 60k service completed about 35k ago. Next mods are rear steel bumper, and installing my QT diff guards, and replace the coolant hoses.
I am on the original HG's and also in the "Death Vin Range" with strong oil pressure. I guess there are good 2003's out there and I got one. I bought it as the 2nd owner at 58,000 on it. I run Mobil 1 and Royal purple, in all diffs and TC case.

Yeah I am a furniture maker and carpenter as a hobby. So I find myself knocking on wood, literally! My Rover has been good to me. I have also spent plenty of time doing required and preventative maintenance. A lot of it has been a cool learning experience. No one in my family works on cars.
