made it to 300K and gave her a present!

Well, my '08 OR extra cab made it to 300K this month so I rewarded it with:

heated 2 seat kit $47.00 Fleabay

new drivers seat OEM Toyota bottom cover $250 (ouch) and a foam swap from passenger

finally re-lit that damn fog light switch $3

other than that, here is the repair list in 13 years (best guess on $$)

3 ft bearing hubs $110
steering rack and steering shaft $250
frame job (thanks Toyota!) free
starter $100
alternator $100
compass resistor upgrade (higher wattage soldered in) $1
a/c and p/s lower hoses $200
rear bumper and hitch $500
3 mufflers $250
new head/tail lights $200
head unit from a 2011 with bluetooth plug and play (junk yard buddy) free
shocks/ struts $200 (take offs)
2017 wheels and sensors perfect used takeoffs from member here $400
6 windshields free insurance
1 little tube of Transgo shudder fix (completely fixed the problem 60K ago) $7
junk yard engine with 90K (original jammed an exhaust valve at 260K WTF, not rebuilding with that mileage...$1500.00 - Castrol 5-30W every 5-8K

owes me nothing as my '98 Taco got bought back and paid 1/2 for her new

did most of labor myself other than engine, frame and rack so about 5K in parts in 13 years

Best part is still no body rust driving in salty New England and still looks like a 3 yr old.

 

Nice taco!!!
Got 226,000 on mine does not burn a drop of oil! Full when
5K hits

 

here you go!

 

Darn thing looks a year old! Nice truck OP.

 

That gives me a ton of confidence with the miles on my 2008 Off Road AC. (has 83,435 now)

 

I have contemplated letting my 07 DCSB with 138,000 go but every time I get close I change my mind and remember how dependable and how much life my truck still has in it. Not to mention it would require a second mortgage to buy a good used vehicle in today's market.

 

Do you have a mileage goal? I know you’re probably driving it until the wheels fall off, as am I, just curious if you have a hopeful number in mind.
