A better question would be is what I havent replaced yet. Which would be the steering box and the long block of the motor plus the transfer case, rear axle, most suspension parts, all body panels, and all the interior parts. Nearly every wearable part on my truck has been replaced, or needs replacing.

 

LOL” A better question would be is what I haven’t replaced yet”, Purples got it spot on.
Everything power train part wise has been changed at least once on this truck, with the exception of the transfercase , the power steering box and rad.

 

Don't jinx yourself on the steering box... talk about a PITA.

Spark plugs.

Timing chain and gears.
Oil pump.
One freeze plug. (so far....)
Two tires. (daughter found a nail, couldn't find a match, so, replaced two.)

One u-joint in the front driveshaft.
Passenger side soft brake line. (caliper was not releasing.)

Working on a replacement radio, but, that might get preempted for headlights.... the adjusters on mine are busticated.

Many oil changes...... some within days of the previous one.....
One oil filter.

 

Knock on wood, I've been pretty lucky with mine in the 2 years I've owned her:

4 front wheelbearings (1 today)
Pads and rotors (today)
2 front axle U-joints (1 today lol)
distributor cap and rotor
plugs and wires
front ball joints
2 sets of tires (the first set, my old Mud Kings, were half worn out when I put em on)
Steering stabilizer shock
Oil. lots of oil.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.....

 

The whole damn truck! I started with this one new off the lot:

Might have replaced a part or two here or there... LMAO...

 

I clicked the wrong one... I'm out of it today. Sort.
