thirdgenlxi Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 What's up everyone? Long time no see..... life has been kinda crazy lately (in a good way) and I haven't been on the forums in awhile. Hope everyone is doing well Anyways..... my ever faithful '07 just rolled over 200,000 miles on easter sunday, doing what she's usually doing.... toting my bike around, haha (I was on my way to go ride for a little bit before going into work here). Last year I got into racing harescrambles and enduros, so that's where a chunk of these miles have come from is just driving around to all the different races..... pretty much every weekend. This has definitely been one hell of a reliable vehicle! Literally have not had one single problem other than the little speaker for the parking aid (the beeeepppppper, lol)...... $25 part and not even 5 minutes to put in, not gonna sweat that. Still runs and drives like brand new.... no squeaks or rattles of any kind, heat blows hot, A/C blows ice cold, silky smooth and trans shifts like brand new (I'd hope so, I change the fluid every other oil change! haha). Doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon..... hopefully she can keep it up for another 100k 0401181255_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr 0401181300_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr Had to get a few beauty shots along the way too..... this was about 2 miles before. Still completely stock..... I just try and keep her clean and in good shape 0401181246_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr 0401181246a_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr 0401181247_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr 0401181248_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr 0401181250_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr I'll also add, that a good chunk of these miles have been spent towing a trailer...... and driving through fields like this for parking. That's my buddy Chris next to me with the brand new super duty..... not gonna lie I was kinda jealous.... super nice truck! And camper, lol 0303180829_HDR by Jared Penttinen, on Flickr 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 great to see you posting again, Jared, and congrats on this milestone! I bet Chris is the one jealous that a gas-engined vehicle can make it this may miles without significant repairs, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintokid Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Congrats! Hope my wife's can approach that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I am almost 40k behind you with my 2011. I have gotten spoiled with mine as well. I truly think the key is preventative maintenance. Case in point, I got all 4 rotors and pads replaced recently and am getting ready to replace all 4 wheel bearings. After that, shocks and struts will be replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 GREAT to read you have hit 200,000 with now major problems. I always say if you keep up with maintenance, they can run a real long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefduane Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Thirdgenlxi and prinzll: Both 3.5L's I assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 chef: Correct. Mine is a 3.5L, FWD, 18" wheels with MFT. No BAMR but a roof rack, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
