Hello all.
I bought a 2002 Limited EX, 164K on a 7.3 diesel, its been a California truck its whole life, but still has some "rust" on it... I'm sure it can mostly be wiped away with a rag and some solvent 
. I mostly bought this vehicle to tow my track car around (1993 Mazda RX7) and so my friends can be comfortable while I drag them all over to be my pit crew - the rear captains chairs are a sweet feature.
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have right now... At the pump...
First things to address were the EBPS and EBPS tube, replaced those today... And the HPOP is leaking a bit from one of the lines I think, I ordered some gaskets and whatnot from Riffraff and will address that next weekend.

Sweet looking. I go back and forth on whether or not I want to put the 2nd row captain chairs in. I love the way they look and the functionality of them, but I don't want to give up a seat.

Welcome!
My advice to you is make sure that everyone who will be driving it knows the difference between gasoline and diesel. Make sure they can read the label, because green handle isn't a dead-giveaway at all stations. If they don't know what fuel to put in, don't let them drive...
Ask me how I know...

I'd almost be more tempted to get AE over gauges if it's a stock rig. I highly doubt anything except trans temp should be an issue towing with a stocker. Don't get me wrong, gauges are an excellent form of 'preventative' whatever you want to call them. However for initial cost and investment return, I wish I had done AE first then gauges as the mods continued.
Also if you're towing, look for a 6.0 trans cooler now. You'll be thankful and your trans will damn near marry you.
