How many miles between oil changes in a year?

 

Congrats, that is quite the milestone. So, maybe I missed it, is the front lifted at all?

 

Excellent!! I hope to see that on my '06. Tks for list of repairs, makes for a good "look for" list.

 

cant you get some 300,000 mile club sticker directly from toyota now?

 

Yes. I had one on my 06 4R. Sold it last summer with 350k on the clock.

 

I lost my 2007 at 310,000 miles to a deer on the highway last month.
These trucks will run forever if you take care of them.


Now in a 2024 Tacoma --- Hopefully it can live up to the Toyota name.

 

As a fellow 06 taco owner, this is what i like to see! i'm closing in on 185K.

 

Congrats! Hope I get 300k miles out of mine

 

Thats awesome! Shows what a little maintenance can do for you.

 

Nice!

 

I’ve gone as much as 16k miles (crazy I know) but with oil analysis everything looked fine. Now I just do it between 10-15k miles. Haven’t done oil analysis in a few years, probably going to do it next oil change.

yes lifted at 280k miles w ome886 springs and nitrocharger 90000 shocks. I put the arb bumper on at same time.

 

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing.

 

Damn straight. Well done.

 

Hell yea man!!!

 

Wait, how can that happen, everything I read on here says the '06 head gasket disintegrates at 180K
(jk, I know the affected manufacture periods for the issue)

Seriously, congrats on the milestone, I can appreciate the fact that you obviously take good care of it to reach those kind of miles. '06s are often fofo'd on here due to the above perception. Not surprisingly I see allot of them on here with high miles.

 

The only issue I’ve had is the timing chain cover gasket has a slight leak.. more of a sweat. I lose maybe 1/2 quart every 5k miles. And it started around 8 years ago/180k miles. I never fixed it bc it doesn’t bother me. I just need to check the oil level every couple thousand miles.

 

Wow! Awesome! Way to keep it going.

@FlyinV, CRAP! That deer really did some damage. I think I would have been so upset I would have ate the damn thing raw on the roadside just for "revenge".

I hit a deer in the ass end with a 2000 Grand Cherokee at low speed in No. WI once. The damage was considerable but fixable. It's amazing the damage they can do.

 

get a used second gen, no way the 4th gen will be anywhere reliable. The new Toyotas are a dumpster fire

 

Here’s the sticker I got from Toyota
