300,000 mile club GEN2.....am I the only one?????

yes

 

This is very encouraging to hear. I am on my first Taco. I have a CPO 2015 base. I bought it with 45K miles Dec 2018. I am currently at almost 52K. I am looking forward to many happy miles...at least until I pay her off.

 

My 2011 TRD OR 4.0 and 6 speed manual just hit 290k.

I replaced the original clutch at 275k and only because the throwout bearing was chirping like crazy. Clutch still had lots of life left.
Rear axle at about 280k (bad pinion) replaced with axle from a 2015 low miles totaled truck.
All engine components are original AFAIK.
Frame is still almost perfect.
I'm the third owner and by searching the toyota owners website, this truck had incredible service history.
I just did URD headers and OEM motor mounts last night and both are a great improvement.

 

Did you have any head gakset issues on your 05?

 

Interested in that header, are u planning to upgrade exhaust?

 

I decided on the URD EL headers because they're the only catless headers with proven low end gains hat I could find. A bit hard to reach a few of the nuts on the install but it went smoothly. I also replaced all the manifold studs and nuts with OEM while i was in there and it was easy. Seems to have more grunt so I'm happy.

I will probably soon buy a catless y-pipe too. I like OEM catback because its quiet. I dont want a loud truck. Truck is a bit more raspy with headers only

 

305xxx miles on my 08 and counting.
I read through 2 pages of your 1st post and did not see this addressed, have you replaced the front shocks?

 

305k with original alt

 

wow...Im at 305xxx also ATM....lol

no, I am still on the stock shocks (say that 3 times fast, ha)
I am do to replace them though, waiting from the spring warmth before I rip the front end apart
they are beat up....sometimes when I brake I get this bouncing feel that wasn't there prior to 300k

 

nice....you are getting close....keep going!
update the thread with you pass the milestone

toyota should create a special emblem for 300k gen2 tacos

 

you did good buying at the end of the gen2 build cycle....the best taco's!
maybe after 10 years of production the gen3's will be as good?

you got a lot of life left in you 2015 with such low miles....enjoy it!

 

how did you know your rear pinion bearing was failing?

 

nice....finally seeing some results for this thread....although many responding to the thread are near 300k
that is great anyways....keep on trucking & update the thread when you reach the 300k marker
we all want to see the odo's!

thanks for this
gives me hope for 400k! & maybe 500k?

although I read his write up & he has had a lot of work done/issues
(his was at the beginning of the gen2 build cycle,
so we have to consider that....the gen2 got much better later in the 10 year build cycle)

 

currently

 

Got a 2010 access cab at my dealer that just got a junkyard motor put in at 535k! Cleanest high mileage tacoma ive seen.

 

My throwout is doing the same thing and I also replaced the clutch and bearing. Chirping came right back after 100 miles. Did you replace yours with the URD bearing kit?

 

Just blew my mind...

 

My reaction too when i realized it lol
