85,000 miles (136,000km) on my 2002.
Bought it 5 years ago with about 42,000 miles (67,000km).

That's what happens when you take the train to work...lol. Figured I'm going to be stuck with it for a while yet, so I put a Flowmaster on it last week; really liking the way it sounds.

Just getting ready to change the differential case fluids, along with transfer case fluid, and transmission fluid and filter.

Everything typical has been done - ball joints, fuel pump (replaced the tank too because it was rotted), two tune ups (cap and rotor from first tune up were rubbish), flushed heater core out, oil lines, u joints.

Brakes and tires last year.

Manifold gasket and rear seal probably coming in the next few years. That pretty much takes care of the typical I think?
