Who has less than 100,000 miles?

Ok, update again.  Have metal welded in to repair both sides rocker panels rusting from the inside out and repaint front left fender. First they get a few "dots" on them, then the dots turn into finger sized holes.  $3200

Replace both headlights due to fogging. $125
Replace tailgate latch mechanism because tailgate would no longer latch on either side and have temp control recalibrated because air conditioning stopped working.  $300
New bowtie. $50

I guess I should have also included the new "take off" wheels that had to be put on it because the stock ones started corroding. That was about the first thing that got replaced on the truck. That was about $400 off ebay. Still have not replaced the shorted butt heater though.

Oh, up to almost 76,000 miles now.

Update, still at 76K miles.  Digital Info on the dash has a new look.  It just scrolls the different language settings all the time.  Ordered new steering wheel bottom switches to see if that is the issue, but I doubt it. Chances are it needs the whole instrument cluster replaced...another $500 or more I'd guess.
 
Just turned 50000.  Due to all the GTG's.  And spending time to go see good friends in New Hamphire who are members.  Well worth the miles.
 
I picked up one of our other rides from  the shop a couple days ago.  The owner bought his Dad's '02.  Now that he drives it, it's up to 17,000 miles.  He said it still has the new car smell.  One family, 17,000 mile '02 Avy.  :eek:

WOW!
I have to remove myself from this thread.  I just passed 100k last week.
 
07 bought brand new I am the original and only owner and he had 83487 on him now. Only repair was new batteries , I run twin red tops and a new alternator and a minor mishap having put a darn K&N air filter cost me having to replace the MAF filter. Ripped that sucker off and put the original type back on
 
New Guy here... I bought my 2004 Z71 with 99,864 miles last month.  Was owned by a Fire Chief who just drove it every once in a while.    I crossed to 100K this week.
 
:welcome: to the club all new members.
 
I bought my '07 a little over a year ago with 80,110 on it I have just over 86k now.... doesn't gert driven a lot in the summer because I ride my Motorcycle as much as possible.  My commute to work is only 6 miles one way too, so there's that....
 
I just bought a 2004 LTZ Z71 that has 58000miles. First 3 years the first owner drove it 34000miles and then the second owner drove it 24000miles in 12 years. Garage kept always. Pristine.
I bought it to take it off road camping so I guess I'll have to be the first to put a scratch in it  :laugh:
 
I?m the 2nd owner of a 2005 2500.  I bought the truck with 33k miles in 2016.  The previous owner towed a small boat and only drove the truck less than 3000 miles a year.  It currently has 58k miles.  It?s not a daily driver, it?s primarily used to tow my travel trailer.  However, one year I had to daily drive it because my daily driver was in an accident otherwise the avy would have less than 50k miles.
 
Bought new, less than 30k, weekend ninja...

Bought my 2003 Black 4 X 4 1500 in 2006 with 33000 miles.  Currently have 90000 mostly highway miles.  Mostly weekend trips to the mountains (hiking and back country skiing) and vacation road trips.

Besides the normal expendables like wipers, brakes, belt, battery, and tires I have replaced:

Headlights (fogged over)

Radiator (leaking)

Electric window motors (motor failure)

Windshield (Cracked)

Transfer Case (Just a repair on linkage)

Heater/ AC vents (replace actuator)

Rear window (Shattered in freezing weather)

Tailgate latch (Plastic handle broke in freezing weather)

Engine wiring harness (mice got in and chewed the wiring)

 
(y) nice  I just turned 39k on my '12

Purchased new August 2003, currently 21,000 miles.

Holy cow!
 
Right at 70k on the Black Diamond nowadays.

Really need to fix the peeling paint and source a good set of new tires.
