Im assuming you mean 200,000km which is 125,000mi for us Americans. I'm half-way there tho. Good to keep hearing how reliable these trucks are!

I've only replaced upper and lower ball joints once and sway bar end links once with greasable moog parts. Other than that nothing else has been changed { touch wood} has been a good truck so far. I hunt and fish so it does get used off road as well.

Riding a scooter full time around here is crazy to many lost tourist and speeding locals.Plus where I live it would kill a scooter going up the mountain everyday and it does get cold leaving the house at 4:00 am every morning.
