    ... if that's the cheese and not the crust that's -- carbonized carmelized (ahem)... well, I think that looks darned tasty!

    HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE !
    Our Japanese Maple behind our house has been giving us a colorful show for years now. My camera seems to be highlighting the reds of these trees this year. They have been extra RED this year though.

    @nbrowser , yes it is.

    It has 35,500 on it now. :)

    I bought it in 96 from an elderly man down the road from me. He had it a year and drove back and forth to Raleigh NC. quite often he said.
    The truck had 12,000 on it when I bought it in 96. It was so clean I thought maybe he was hiding something. He said he just had it detailed , that's all. It was spotless when I bought it.

    Well, it's been sitting pretty much there in my back yard since I bought it. I used to wax it twice in the spring, twice in the fall. I even waxed the rims twice each time too. I would drive a couple of miles every so often to keep the fluids circulated. One year I only drove it 60 miles. :o

    The past few years I've been really low health wise and only had the energy to wash it and maybe get one coat of wax on it per year. I missed this fall's waxing but I did get a good washing in..

    I'm feeling a lot better now compared to 3 years ago for sure. I hope to getting back to my old routine this spring. Maybe only one coat of wax in the spring and one coat in the fall from here on out.

    It's been a great truck for me all these years. It still drives like new except there's a braking problem. High speed braking causes a shutter. I need to have it fixed in 2018.
    My neighbors always tell me " Man that truck still looks brand new ! "

    I wish I had built a car / truck shed for it. But woodworking was more important and the barn shed holds a lot of woodworking tools and oak wood and other materials that I won't use soon enough so it stays for the storage. The City says only 3 outbuildings per property, so I'm full on that count.

    If it's 2wd, just get some new rotors for it, as the current ones are likely pitted due to sitting. If it's 4wd, an on car lathe is the quick solution to get a perfect result. In either case, new pads must be used to maintain the end result.

    yep, 2 wheel drive. :)

    I thought it was a rotor myself.

    A neighbor told me to get some new synthetic ( ? ) brake fluid to replace the old stuff.

    Hi Tony,
    Happy New Year and I'm glad you are feeling better! I just saw your post (I have not been on here in years). That's a very nice truck, indeed. I assume it's a '95? If your state is like mine, you get an antique license plate at 25 years? I plan to do that with my '95 Dodge Ram. Your braking issue is probably the front rotors as mentioned. It less likely but it could also be the rear brake drums or some aged rubber bushings/parts in the front steering or suspension. I agree with sticking to DOT3/4 fluid. I did use the silicon fluid on the TR6 but it's kind of an involved process that I will not hassle with on the Dodge which I bought new at the end of 94. Like your truck, mine also has 35,000 miles. I drove it 13,000 miles the first year and the rest over the next 22 years. I used it to pull a boat and such. It's been in a garage it's whole life. I have flushed the brakes and the cooling system three times and replaced the battery twice since 94. A couple of months ago, I replaced the water pump and radiator hoses. That's it as far as things outside the scope of regular maintenance. Here's a couple of pics taken 2 months ago after replacing the water pump. Best of luck with your truck.

    That's it in '95. Oh to be young again...

    The original paint, wheels, Michelin tires....That Duralast battery lasted for 17 years with a harbor freight battery tender on it the whole time.
