Holy Cross in the snow would be pretty tough.

Holy Cross without snow would be tough, no?

I just went over 40,000 in my '03. No problems except mirror folding, battery (of course), and recent front differential leaky seal replacement. Still on original tires and brakes.

85,000 on 03 and still have two of the original tires on it. (with decent tread) Would still have all four on if i didnt burn them off when i was stuck. Havent had any major problems with it and havent really taken to much care of it . It pulled a 32' camper way overloaded around the eastcoast. Pulled boat in and out of salt water, pulled bobcat on trailer. This thing has been tougher than nails.

Well, we had about 12k on our 03 and needed:
Battery
Alternator
Fix-a-Flat
T-case

All in 2 weeks. It must have been the desert air. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

03 bought in Dec 02. It's not really a daily driver and only has 42K miles. List of things replaced:

rear license plate and rear door assembly

radiator, coolant overflow and all hoses

transmission (changed when radiator blew into tranny cooler cross contaminating all fluids, I raised hell until they changed it all)

windshield wiper motor

windshield wiper pulse wiper control

some steering components due to sloppy steering

evap emmision canister (changed when check engine light came on)

two cigarette lighters

been in 3 times to eliminate squeeks/rattles

front differential

Never had any front suspension or tie rod issues. Though I have seen others break them.

Edited to add: Forgot my AC went out once. Filter installed backwards from the factory.
