Boy smoke, my 99 suburban turbo diesel one ton has 350 on it, my lexus has 270 on it, the volvo just turned 300 thousand.....doing the work yourself should be able to keep the costs down. I dont think I have anything with less than 250 on it....LOL

OOOPS, yes I do. The womans Tahoe....less than 100, and its the most trouble hands down.

What problems are you having?

ps my bmw has 180,000 and my jeep has 230,000

Ok got the holster....

Springfield XD? 40 cal?

Maybe a Glock 22?

I have a similar holster. REALLY like it. It has saved my life (sort of). I snuck up on a herd of big pigs and dropped three with my 30-06 remington pump, but because we were in a draw, they ended up charging me. I won.

100 points for the spot and only 10,000 for the ID since it was your second choice LOL

It's one hell of a truck... I plan to get a LOT more miles out of it with the manual trans.... This thing should be putting around 400 hp to the rear wheels which is about double what it had stock
