My 2002 finally died on me after 6 great years. She's at 317k miles and just lost a few gears in the transmission. I've put about 4k in her the past year alone. Just got to the point it didn't make sense to continue anymore.
I was lucky enough to be able to get myself into a clean '05 Z71 with a crate motor and rebuilt transmission. All the rust and bodywork has been taken care of. First week I did have to replace the hydraulic brake booster. Now I'm looking at some front end work and shocks all around. She's a beaut and I'm hoping to spend the next decade or so treating her right.
P.S. I am looking for shock suggestions so be on the lookout for that post if you have any advice.
Thanks for having me! Avy life!
