Maverick clocked up 140k today.

Had about 18k when I bought it. From memory I've fitted 3 rear boxes, one front down pipe, 2 sets of discs and 4 sets of front pads ,one pair of front bearings, 16 new tyres, recon'd the fuel pump,one water pump ,one new fan belt, one thermostat,3 batteries, a pair of arb links on the front and one on the rear.

Still on the original clutch, shocks and rear brake shoes.

Never failed a MOT

Here's to the next 140k

all cars are female because,

they are pretty to look at

expensive to run

often break down

need a good service to keep them happy

and the only way to get anywhere is to put your foot down

awesome Brian. i think what you have there, is a great example of how these trucks SHOULD be, TOUGH and RELIABLE! I'm suspecting the things you have had done are down to your outlandish offroad behaviour? Also amazing to read you are still on your original clutch, make me feel more confident about mine and i'm only on 116k miles!

Happy Birthday to your truck!
