At 180,000 miles I would save your money for everything that’s going to start going wrong. These are incredible trucks but just wait until you have to replace the starter. I dumped money into putting fresh plugs, suspension components, steering components, changing all the fluids if it hasn’t been done because believe me a lot of the times it hasn’t. These trucks will do many hundreds of thousands of miles, but they don’t do them without maintenance.
@Nate
I agree with all of this. I’d definitely recommend that before mods, every fluid in this thing should be changed (assuming there is not a rock solid service history). At 180k miles anything that has been ignored in terms of regular maintenance would be hitting the critical point. Full fluid swap is the first thing I do on every used vehicle I buy. So worth it.

Diffs trans transfer case coolant brake fluid steering fluid the works
@Nate
I would second this. Wait a year to do anything because shit gonna break. Check timing belt as well.

Oh shit I think homeboy has the 6
@Nate
Yup. Starter, SAIP, water pump, AC compressor, transfercase actuators, brake pads and rotors. Or whatever hasn’t been done of those recently.
@Nate
To replace my starter it was $1700 and fuel pump was $1300. I got my 2010 with 130k back in the day and it was kept up on the maintenance but man did I buy it right when a bunch of shit started to go and cost me a good amount to get it up to 230k mi. Loved the truck but ended up getting a 2021 trail boss.

I’m all out of cake…
I would check brakes and suspension
If you plan on doing any legit off road go with 17" wheels and tire size of choice and DONT get any of the tough looking running boards. Get some actual rock sliders.
Beautiful truck
Fluid film every nook and cranny and do it often.
RB20 Go Rhino running boards, morimoto black tail lights, 2021 TRD Pro black headlights. Maybe a Tesla screen and completely revamp the interior with Meso or AJT design. Maybe USB-C ports.

Do you have a pic of Tesla screen?
