155,000 miles here on my 06 X with stock transmission, clutch and TOB. No problems beyond the annoying TOB squeak for the last couple years.
I've changed the trans and diff fluid at 50k and 100k, about to do it again.
What are the symptoms of these failing transmissions?
I haul dirt bikes to Hollister occasionally (hour away), and to ride in Reno a few times a year.
With the ride assist air bags it hauls no problem, this was my WR400, a XR650R and a XR600.

Before it would bounce off the bump stops on even small bumps, now the truck...
you can put it in the small black panel (pulls out) under the a/c vent left of the stereo, it's easy to drill and the dash behind it already has a hole for a gauge.
You can put the switch and other thing there too.
After towing/hauling a few times a month since January and bouncing off the bump stops, I installed the "Air lift ride control kit" and just installed the compressor kit this weekend.
I strongly recommend looking into this if you tow or haul much in your bed often, it makes a world of...

What approx pressure do you run when loaded?
I believe the instructions say its good for 10-100psi. (and to always leave 10psi in it when unloaded)
I ran 60 empty to test it today and damn it's bouncy, as expected. :)

Cool thread, I've been wondering if these 17's would fit with my BBK as well?

with 255/50-17's would be the exact same tire diameter as the stock 255/45/18.
