I don't know, maybe it would make them move onto another vehicle that didn't require extra work? That's why I was throwing it out there, to see if anyone else knew anything more about it.

I'll try to take one for you this afternoon.

higher mileage w/these trucks is not really a problem assuming they've been maintained properly (which doesn't really require much). I have almost 170k on mine and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country tomorrow. they're just rock solid vehicles

no, I have a similar setup and it looks good. not to mention that the new headlights are brighter! 160 for both headlights sounds reasonable.

well I guess I'm a little late to the party. not everyone browses multiple vehicle forums all of the time and it's nice to find the info you're looking for when you come to find it. like in this case where I just couldn't believe that someone would steal something off of my exhaust! the guy at...

catalytic converter theft well this problem seems to have made its way to the East Coast. they got me yesterday morning. I was in a business meeting at a local hotel and when we broke for lunch I went to drive away and my truck sounded like a monster truck! I turned it off in disbelief and...

Thanks for the welcome. I'll get some pics up soon, probably next week. I still have to get her home! I'm not a patient person so this waiting sucks! There seems to be some good info here on this site as well as some cool pics of forum members rides.

I've always liked these trucks and so has my wife. So this weekend we finally got one! I went for a '97 SR5 4x4 6cyl 5spd. It's black. I'll be posting pics in a few days. I don't have it yet as the loan paperwork is not finished. The seller had to get a lien release form. But I'm really excited...
