Bought mine in November ’15 with 72k on the clock. I've now got 110k. I love seeing these high mileage threads because it just reinforces my belief that it was a great purchase even if I spent 3.7k for it.

Mechanically I've done a lot of work to it and in some cases more than was necessary but other than a bad rim that needs replacing and the left side exhaust manifold is leaking a bit.

Best upgrade was the Eaton LSD. It's made a huge difference in the effectiveness of the LS system. I'm probably going to put one in the front as well.

In any case, I look forward to more stories of these antiques! 21 years and counting.

How much was the Eaton LSD? I don't like my open differential in the snow.
