It's been recored several times, but I'm still using the original frame & tanks 
from TS39781LO (now in TS13571L).  Probably close to
300k miles by now.

I did get tired of it leaking around where the extension joins the upper tank 
(overuse of stop leak is probably what led to the last
recore), so I had the shop add some reinforcement around the extension.  Just a 
length of 1/8" copper "refrigeration tubing" laid on
the joint and soldered on both sides (their idea, not mine).  It's worked great 
so far.
