Yeah, but the 2001 model had the updated styling.

I disagree but whatever

Exactly. Not at all BIFL. Has OP's rig run that long? Okay, sure. Is it a truck of Theseus? Yes. People can downvote the above responses but that's the point. The block was even likely retooled to some degree.

I cannot count on one hand how many times I can use a grinder without needing to clean it with iso.

Weed grinders fail faster than most anything. Ffs

So what's been replaced in 9milliom miles?

So we are celebrating that industrial diesel engines can run for 30 years 16hrs/day? That's the expectation and anything else would be a disappointment.

I chuckled at getting it to 55. That's terrifying. 4" lift with another 100lbs on the roof and super soft worn front suspension. New emu rear I did a few years ago though. The only thing actually wrong with the car is the fuel pump assy and the Bosch one is discontinued 78685 or something. I'm going to swap with a junkyard one but want to get it to pass first in case I need it for the summer. As of now it's just used for camping and towing our little 15' Bayliner.

I changed my battery after letting my 98 sit for about 7 months without running. It wiped the ecu and kept failing inspection for emissions. I was told to drive it for a full tank. Then that it wasn't enough to ready them. Told to drive another tank. I haven't checked for codes since then but know that you may need it stable enough for 500 miles before it passes.

Totally. Martin Starr's char was aware and added to compliance.

Ahhh, so it's more "the feds can overturn this shit any moment so while you think you're cool you might as well be fucked tomorrow." Then spreading cash through legal investments and insurance covers it. Got it. Thanks so much for the clarification.

Why is he laundering legal money?
