Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to the forums. Was pining after a TLC for a long time; back in February I finally found one. I'll document here what I can about the truck, including what I paid, some history, and my baseline efforts. Hopefully it can help someone shopping around, or someone that is new to our forums looking for some guidance on baselining. Anyway, welcome to my TED Talk.
I bought the truck in February of 2024. This 100 series is a California native. Sold down in San Diego back in 2002, it was driven by someone for about 3 years before they sold it to the second owner, who then owned until 2024, when I (the third owner) bought it. It had 203k on the truck when I got it. The previous owner seemed to take pretty good care of it, but not to the point of coddling (he was a family guy with two kids that grew up going on camping trips with this thing). So, once I made the trip from SF back to LA (which went just fine), I set out to start baselining it.
Here is the list of items that I've done so far (note that this is not really my 'daily', but I do drive it 3-5 times a week):
