Very true. I just hate rust! haha. Wisconsin sure dumps the salt on the roads for a good five months.
My '03 had the painted bumpers like your FX4, and I know what you mean about how those do in the winter. I love how the trucks look with painted bumpers, but I refuse to buy a truck that doesn't have the polished bumpers. The polished bumpers seem to last much longer.
Where do you take it for the 'oiling'? What kind of oil?

I agree, I love the look of painted bumpers but the "chrome" bumpers last 10x longer.

I typically do fuel filter, air filter, trans flush every 50k
Coolant, hoses and belts every 100k
Oil every 5k
My only "issues" other than routine maintenance
- OEM Battery lasted 150k
- Alternator went at 155k probably from trying to keep oem battery charged.
- Shocks/struts changed at 200k
- Rear pinion and axle seal at 245k, replaced all seals. Bearings were still in great shape.
Still on stock front rotors/bearings. 1 set of pads so far. Probably change it all out at 300k.
As far as MPG, I track every tank of gas in a spreadsheet and for the last 3 years it has been right at 19mpg for the year. Typically on my commute I get 21. Got 22.5 today but I had a good 20mph tail wind

My 05 KR SCrew has a hair over 190K. Plugs were changed at 110K and I just had the oil filter adapter and oil pan gaskets replaced.
Off topic, I got 305/65/18 BFG AT KOs put on at 87K, and I just replaced them at 190K. The rep at 4 Wheel Parts couldn't believe it.
