200,000 Mile Club (1st Gen Tacomas)

Just hit 200,000 today, and she’s still running strong, no surprise there though; still, a hell of a milestone. See y’all at 300,000!

 

Interesting, drilling holes in the air box, it seems that would be counterproductive to the receiving of cooler air from the fender, and possibly limiting to the quantity of air the engine receives. I can see how someone might think that more holes means more air, but the physics of how the induction of air is received through the closed system Toyota developed may disagree. I would purchase a new intake box, but that’s just me.

 

95 Tacoma with 346k

 

250k miles here and still trucking on! But will never get rid of my first gen unless the money is there

 

My 98 Regular cab (Burt, the Old Man), Currently sitting at just under 254k, I picked it up at 247k daily along side my Jeep when I am home. Runs like a top, 2.7, 5 Speed, 4x4, manual everything. Around town I get 19mpg and around 22-23 on the highway.
Here's a picture from last summer before I drove up to over 12k feet elevation in Rocky Mountain National Park.

And here is a more recent picture with the new wheels and tires.

And one without the topper out wheeling on some mild trails.

 

253,000 just the other day...

 

It is a radiant red 03 that i bought it in '05 and then put the shell on. 21mpg in the city! I'm in love.

 

...
I can't wait to see when the 300k topic thread starts or has it already?
...

 

292k. Put in brand new transmission at 285k.

 

@Cbtacoma What camper shell is that? Do you like it? I'm looking for a similar setup!

 

@Beater_Bimmer its a workmate shell. Just bought it a few weeks ago. Had a soft topper with a rack around it before this. Liking it so far, just figuring out if I build a rack or bolt the tent straight to it. But it’s really nice to have lockable top now and gullwing side doors

 

Life of the transmission up or did you burn it up?

 

@tacomakid96 it went out on the way home from work one day and never could get it in gear again. There was some slipping and hesitation at speed going up hills for like a month or so.

 

My baby finally hit 200k and now my transmission shift solenoids A &B have went out the codes are P0755 & P0750

 

220K on '04 Prerunner now used for a farm truck (no tags/insurance). Working on getting the '04 TRD there and I'll I probably make it in the next year. Currently sitting at 180 k and daily driver.
Trying to see if I am capable I was posting a picture here.
Grandpa don't know internet

 

209k on my '03. OME coil over Bilsteins, timing belt-H20 pump, just ordered Dakar leaf springs. Bought it with 190K and stripped rust off the frame and bathed it in POR15. It's a venison-mobile.

 

Just picked this one up less than a month ago. Just joined the 200k club today. This is the only vehicle I would ever purchase with that many miles on the clock and use it as a daily driver. So far, so good. Needs new shocks and tires, and will probably need a few other items before long, but it runs like a champ. Mechanic checked it out, says I definitely got my money's worth out of it.

 

I officially hit 200K on (Today) 042219 @ 6:33am...woot Woot

 

257,000 on wife's 03. It's been a great truck, only issue is currently dealing with a TPS problem and not wanting to buy a new TB for $700 but that's another thread.

 

Checking in. This was yesterday. Still runs like a champ!
