I'm Ben, nice to meet you guys.

I bought a 1999 Classic a little over two years ago. It's just stock, but I take it off road on occasion (for hunting, mainly). It has 235/75/15 BFG A/T.

A few weeks ago, I actually put it up for sale to get a gas saver. Then, I came to my senses. It's just worth more to me than what I could get for it (even though I can get about $1,000 more for it now than I paid for it 2 yrs and 40k mi ago). Still, I've done lots to it, and I feel like I know it inside and out. So far, I've replaced:

• Cooling system - It was overheating, and ended up being the water pump impeller was disintegrated, but heat didn't work well anyways. I ended up replacing everything: heater core, radiator, water pump, hoses, etc
• Battery and alternator
• Distributor (it was whining), along with plugs, wires, cap, rotor
• Speakers
• Random interior parts
• Brakes, belts, etc

I do all my own maintenance, and I just enjoy this thing a lot. And the mpg really isn't that bad at all. Now if I could just figure out the tweety bird vacuum leak I hear behind the gauges...

Seems like a great community here. Looking forward to learning from you guys.
