Highest mileage first gen

Dammmmmmnnnnn. Highest I've ever heard of by far

 

RIP....

 

278,000. Both Cats went out but I just blame the govt for the stupid regulation. One is still out but it runs fine. Just change the oil religiously.

 

676k.....amazing. ....im at 411k...bummer about ball joints. I replaced mine based on posts in this form. Drove on V8 squeaking ball joints for years but you folks and the posts convinced me its a Achilles heal of the Tacoma n the frame. Love this site!
Shes still tight....does 110mph and still lights up the Michelins....amazing!

 

3.4L original owner?!

 

Hi..I bought it with 70k mi for $8k. Drive train original replaced 2 alternators, radiator, O2 sensor, windshield, seat and all the ball joints, rotors n bearings pretty much all by me....2.4L 5sp No AC...window cranks....2WD

 

Holy Crap. ...Im at 412k....truck will probably outlast me....im not following factory maintenance on myself as much as i do my truck

 

396k on a 99 3rz 4x4 5spd. Original drivetrain. Dude I bought it from was running Schaeffer's 7000 series 15w40. Have since switched to amsoil on stock Toyota oil filters. About to change my stock cracked exhaust manifold.

 

I'm happy that I bought this truck. I bought my '99 base in '06 with about 70k on it and now it has 215k+. See all these high mileages makes me optimistic for the future. I don't think I've had to do anything major - only replaced alternator and starter besides oil, tires, plugs, brakes, etc. I did replace the rotors, but that was from my laziness prior to that... I think I need to replace the shocks soon though.

'99 tacoma base 2wd, 2.7L

Nice! Where can I get this sticker from I want it.

 

Hit up @CBoy808

 

Nice! Im at 414k n loving it....write it in the tailgate grim....get thumbs up n yeahs! ...Gotta have one!!

 

367661 on the 97 sr5 taco and she still drags ricers on the weekends

 

Yeah! My little 2.4l 5spd and a power to weight that is awesome. ...i eat a lotta fools on mountain roads. She lights up fresh Michelins no problem. ..blew away a sheriff. ..opps ..said i was moving so damn fast he thought gears were gonna fly outta the hood thru the windshield. .never saw a truck move so fast... shes stock..original ujoints n drive train...insane...ohhh...got out of it before he could pace me...new red n blue lights damn bright

 

Only thing scaring me at 416k mi is cold starts and worn bearings ....i get a slight rod knock is i push a cold motor
Other than that 500k is 17 oil changes away....new shocks soon

 

Get a block heater for the winter to take the stress off the cold starts

 

Agreed . . but i live in northern calif so seems crazy but...ill do it. Drove in oil fields of Canada in winter they had banks of block heater plugs everywhere . ..insane cold.

 

Well you know the first minute or so the engine get the most amount of WEAR as it warms up and oil
pressure is restored, my engine kicked at 485,000, most of these 3.4 engines kick
around 450-500,000 With a head gasket issue, so look forward to that with a new motor with that many miles, not worth fixing the head gasket, if you have a 3.4

 

Yep! man...485k! I fixed the ball joints based on advice from this form! change oil religiously that has helped with the 320k timing chain tensionor failure mode. Probably need head job...

 

Your rig is sweet !
