Hi, long time lurker, first post.
I had a '91 pickup for a decade. We sold it a couple of years ago when we were expecting a child. We flew south to buy a perfectly rust free, many owner '11 LC sight unseen . We purchased it with 189k miles and drove 1000 more home. It has 206k miles now despite being our favorite vehicle. We don't really drive much but we love this thing. I've done a bunch of small things so far:
- spark plugs, pcv valve (oil cap was milky), valve cover gaskets (leaking), radiator (it blew), water pump, thermostat, coolant hoses and heater Ts, serpentine belt & tensioner, idler pulley, fan bracket mount, viscous fan clutch (was making noise which is why I replaced the fan bracket mount)
- brake fluid flush, PS flush, partial coolant flush
- a number of fluid film coatings
- VLine GROM for carplay
- belt moldings, hood struts, tailgate cable
- fan blower motor (squeaking), fixed the HVAC blend door
- tires
It has Tundra wheels for some reason, I don't mind the look. I plan on doing a transmission flush and a real coolant flush. I'm also looking for some cross bars for the roof rack which is why I made this account, so that I can post in the classifieds.
Anyway, thanks for having me here and for reading my intro!

P.S. The pickup now lives in Guatemala and has been completely restored by its new owner.

Maybe clean out the sunroof drains this spring?
