2012 HSE Lux w/ 89Kish. Might roll over 90K this weekend.
Just spiffed her up with 4 new rotors/pads, a complete set of orange poly bushings in all control arms, new ball joints, new rear wheel bearings, rear knuckle bushings, new rear toe rods, stainless steel brake lines, and new dtml pump. I did the tie rod ends, front wheel bearings, sway bar bushes, transmission fluid and bridge/seals and spark plugs about 3K miles ago. The front diff was also completely refreshed when my locker was installed so other than the actual air struts and the rear diff, the suspension and running gear is pretty much new at this point.
I switched to a 5K oil change interval with the hope of becoming one of the guys running the original timing chain guides to 200K.
Other than being on my 2nd or 3rd waterpump, I really haven't had much reason to complain about her.
Next on my radar screen for pre-emptive maintenance will be injectors, PCV valves, and possibly walnut blasting the intakes. I'm also keeping a pretty close eye on the CV joints, but haven't had any reason to mess with them yet.
I have no plans to ever sell this thing.
I'll be sleeping in the rig tonight after catching GnR at Austin City Limits.
