2000 2.7, 133k miles. Since I have a double row, I'm not going to replace the IMSB until I have to replace the clutch, and even then, I'm thinking of just removing the outer seal if the bearing is otherwise in good shape. Hopefully I can get at least another 50k on the clutch.

Macster on the Rennlist forum has a 2002 with something like 250k miles that is on original everything, motor, clutch and tranny.
