Who bought their 1st gen new, and still owns it?

Nice. that's a lot of miles. Any major repairs? How many of those miles did you wish you had a 4wd?

 

Wow....384 clicks. Impressive.

Bought mine in 01....got 278K now. Just replaced a leaking original oil pressure seitch. I also have a rusted out oil pan that I need to do something with. The midwest salt is devastating on cars. Also put new General Grabber AT2s on her this weekend. Good for another 80K now - lol.

 

Bought new in November '97. 2.7 L , 5 speed, 4 WD. 201,638 miles, and still going strong. Wouldn't take anything for this truck. We call him "Leo" because he has the heart of a lion.

 

I have a 2001 I bought new and has around 430 thousand miles on it Best truck I have ever bought. a door handle alternator and a few brake jobs and fuel pumps along with many sets of tires its still pulling 30 mpg I will have to rinse it off and get a good photo But that's it hiding behind my snowmobile

 

We bought our new 1997 Tacoma in Twin Falls Idaho at Wills Motor Company in April of that year. It's still going strong, been coast to coast about 5 times, and has only needed regular maint. Aprox 175K last time I looked.

 

Did the snowmobile cost more than the taco?

 

two of my other trucks Came from wills In twin falls

 

It was a little cheaper but not a whole lot I think I paid around 16 for the truck new I have the sticker from the window somewhere

 

You may see this truck around Twin now. My son is using it till I get back there.

 

Driven over. 275k miles. Everything still works. Hallelujah! Original owner. My son was supposed to get it but I can't replace it. Also, he's enlisting.
My other son has a 1987 4Runner with lockers and solid front axle. My grandson wants that one. Runs in the family.

 

Nothing major. Radiator, rear wheel seal, rear main seal. I shoulda bought 4wd but I was just coming out of a divorce and didn't want to pay the extra $2500. Oh well.

 

When I worked as a Toyota tech there was an old lady that brought in her hatchback camry with almost 500k miles.. original motor and trans with all dealer service.

 

Bought my 99 2.4 in January of that year and 166k miles later still own it.

 

Bought my '04 in April of '04 with 20 some odd miles on it (test drives). It's got just about 134k now and only replaced fluids and water pump/timing belt per maintenance.

no major issues but after my brother did inspection last weekend it seems I'm going to need to replace the UBJ on driver's side. it's not failing and no adverse affects but when you tap on the UCA you can hear it "dink" so it seems the grease has done lost it's use

 

Bought mine new through a credit union buying service (because dealers can suck at times) 15 years ago. Now my 2.7 ltr Xtra cab TRD PreRunner has over 270k. Still in love. My son has a 1985 solid front axle 4 Runner. Toys run in the family.

 

384k??? What have you replaced so far? Engine? Tranny?

 

Drove my Taco off the lot in '01 - I think that was the first yr for the DC.
I have over 227K miles on it and it's still not for sale!
No major repairs, just a couple timing belts & CV boots, 4 sets of tires and regular maintenance.

 

Engine, trans and drivetrain are all original. Replaced only minor stuff rear main seal, water pump/timing belt, rear axle seal, radiator, nothing major. And... I get alot or crap about this... I change the oil every 15,000 miles.

 

243,087 miles bought new as a leftover in 05. Needs new Bank 2 O2 sensor(ordered) and just replaced original fuel pump while replacing a leaking fuel sender cover on the gas tank. I love this truck.
