What 15k miles in 7 months? Well 6. I didn't drive her for a month.
That's only an average of 625 miles a week. That's nothing compared to people who drive 60k miles a year.

Well I've always been told age is worse than mileage.
A 30 year old car with 20k original miles can still run like crap and look like crap.

Ive come to believe low miles hurts a truck more than high. That said, it's not age or mileage that makes the real difference. It's just plain how well they're cared for.

That too. Age is still harsh on vehicles no mater how well you take care of it.

Well, trucks are machines. Parts are going to wear out over time.

anyways I listed it for sale on Facebook and had an offer for a 2002 F-150 147,800 miles or so, and I jumped. The 4Runner also had a rebuilt title as where this one was clean. So here she is, just about a month after I got her. When I picked it up, there was rust at the bottom of the back doors, so I took care of that and also rhino lined it in hopes that it won't rust again.











So there she is. I changed the headlights to the ones shown and also tightened the torsion bars.
Clean truck. Are those swamper ltbs?
