In June of 1997 I purchased new a White T100 SR5 Extended Cab 3.4L 4x4 5 speed manual. In early years I installed oversized torsion bars and 2 inch longer shackles. I did some fender mods and installed 285/75/16 tires and Rancho RS5000 followed by 9000 shocks. In 22 year of ownership I have replaced the following: ac/heating controls, windshield wiper motor, starter, 2 sets of axle seals, cv boots, front and rear brakes, clutch, cooling hoses, radiator, muffler and rear exhaust pipe, speed cable, radio head units, head lights are new units, timing belts, spark plugs, spark plug wires, battery tray.
About 1 year ago I started restoring the truck. Door panels were first as fabric was torn and coming unglued. The steering wheel leather was gone, and I shipped that off to shop to recover. I just got truck back from full repaint back to white. I replaced shocks Bilstein and bushing on anti sway bar which were gone. In next week or two I will be installing new tires going back to 265/75/16. I replaced over sized shackles for factory. Next set of changes is pull interior and dynamat it and reinstall. Take seats and get them recovered and new foam installed.
I have 128K miles and plan to keep using the truck for road trips and fishing towing my boat. I will add some pictures once I get new tires on it.
