Second Gen Appreciation Post
This thing has moved me in an out of 3 apartments since college and hauled random shit in between! 2019 WT 3.6L V6 CCSB bought certified pre-owned (torque converter shudder fixed) in Feb 2024 for $23k with 84k on the clock. I’ve driven 40k since and only replaced two VVT solenoids in addition to 5k oil changes and tires. I’m planning on a coolant flush, full brakes and brake fluid in the fall. Doing belt and tensioner this weekend (Looks fine but I don’t have a record of the last change so I’ll just hold on to the current belt as a backup, parts were $50 on RockAuto)
Mods:
-Black emblems Day 1 (eBay)
-Rock sliders (marketplace)
-Got a set of black rims from marketplace and traded the noisy Duratracs for all season firestones (thank you Costco). The most off-roading this thing sees is the occasional drive-on beach.
-DIY 18% tint all around besides windshield (had a brow but had to replace windshield recently).
-Started out with a tri-fold tonneau cover, traded this past winter for a camper shell +$500. Love the roof racks for skiing but it’s heavy and I want the pick-up profile back. If I hold onto the cap I’d like to do a black vinyl wrap to match. Considering an overland rack in the future for the best of both worlds. Any suggestions?
-Also bought the Decked storage drawer from marketplace. Still debating how I feel about it but it works well with the cap and fits all my tools and roadside shit that I carry around.
What do you guys think?
