OK,

When do these things start showing time of wear?

Still running strong, no problems... I thought I would have to get rid of it by now. God knows if it was a ford I'd be pushing it by now.


A couple of weeks back I was caught in a traffic jam and some guy pulled along side of me and asked me to roll down the window just to see how many miles I had on it. All he said was "cool" with a big smile on his face.

Huh!

Go to the dealer with your VIN and get a maintenance schedule printed out and be done with it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

My '86 just rolled over 368K, original owner, rebuilt at 294K. And YES, it still goes off road.

Keep up on your maintenance, and you'll be handing the keys to one of the grandkids for college.

my 95 T100 (4cyl 5sp) has 238k miles on it and I can't kill it all I do is change the oil every other month.

I bought it used at 209k miles, but I can't tell that the owner did anything other then replaced the accessory belts with Gates belts (high quality).

Since i've owned it I've done a few things (all by myself). replaced clutch, leaking low pressure a/c valve tap (and dryer and then vacuumed system and put in new r134a), oil seal on transmission tailshaft, radiator (original one cracked on the plastic top part), flushed the fluids.

i think thats really good, I just bought it right before those things needed to be replaced, but no big deal. I'd love to see a ford/chevy/dodge 1/2 ton make it to 238k miles, it just doesn't happen that often, but it happens with 99% of toyotas.

kewlynx,

I did the dealer thing at 114k - put in the second timing belt and had the water pump replace.

I did replace the plug wires, and both front axles but other than that I've only had to replace the battery.


This year I'll get the fluids changed again (tranny, and coolent) and I have a universal in front of the transfer case with a broken seal that doesn't hold grease I'll have them replace.

Hard to believe the thing stays together like it does. I did have to have the windshield replace from rock chips, and I did replace the drivers side seat belt.

150K on a Toy = its finally broken in! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm at 190K and just got back from a mini-expedition in the mountains/backwoods of West Virginia... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
