I'm retired & do far fewer miles than before, my truck spends it's time sitting in the garage and goes to the supermarket once a week. It needs to be used and enjoyed, the engine's as smooth as silk on both petrol & lpg. It never fails to make me grin like a big kid whenever I drive it, I've never off roaded it nor towed anything either. It's never been in an accident so nothing has ever been bent, the rear bumper corners have been resprayed more than once over the years, that's supermarket car park signs for you! There are no chassis welds whatsoever. Body panels that have succumbed to rust have been repaired, which has in some cases required cutting out, making good, welding & repainting.
