autos are better

@Al <3 I have a very similar truck

Yeah?

That’s neat 😄

Oh, nice

I kinda wish mine was white

Not being racist! I swear! 😂

Lol

White is just easier to keep looking clean.. especially where I live.

I'm learning that it also hides deterioration somewhat well

You wouldn't see from the pic, but the paint is cracking in a few places

Oh okay.. just another plus 😂 Atm, I use black spray paint to cover the scratches the previous owner left on it 😂

I need to hit my cracking areas with touch-up paint

This thing is almost as close to a brand new truck as you'll find for its age

That’s awesome

I rebuilt the suspension, lot of the engine accessories are new

Still hasn't even hit 100,000 miles

Damn, what year is it?

'98

Yours is either a 98, 99 or 2000

That’s impressive.. mine is a 99

It has over 200,000 miles on it..

Take care of em, they last

True. It runs really well still.

Ping me if you ever need help with it. I've gotten quite familiar with these trucks

Thanks! I appreciate it.

My knowledge is worthless if I do not share it

Besides, if you're willing to get your hands dirty, they're easy trucks to wrench on and you can save a shitload of money by doing the work yourself

Yeah. My dad has been helping me with it a lot.

He fixed the caliper for me 😂

He’s been teaching me some about fixing it up

Your dad sounds like a smart man looking out for his daughter

I envy you in a way

He is indeed.. and how so?

My folks never taught me anything in the way of practical skillsets when I was a kid. I had to go discover everything I know now on my own

The skill level I would have today if I would've gotten started doing what I'm doing now a few years earlier...

I’m sorry to hear that.. with that said, I’m impressed with your knowledge and motivation

Heh. Thanks

I like to think I've learned a few things in my life, and I have, but really I know just enough to know that I don't know shit
