200,000 Mile Club (1st Gen Tacomas)

Just rolled past this today. 2003 2.7L 4x4. All stock except for some Bilstein 4600's. She's still rolling along!

 

Is it the original motor? Has it been rebuilt?

 

Nope, all original

 

The guy that started this one hasn't been around since 2011. Thread still running strong much like our trucks!!! Haha

 

Im getting close to that...a few thousand more and I'll be over...

 

Another milestone today. I've put roughly 37k on it in 1.5 yrs. My first Toyota is treating me good! I've got my parts ready to do the rear diff breather next.

 

Just rolling along at 221k+. Had to replace the AC compressor this month though.

 

Bought this new in 1999. It is a 2.7 5 speed manual, regular cab, 4x4, 221k miles. She has not had an easy life, but has been well maintained. She has seen plenty of off road use at the hunting property and my son's mudding adventures. She is the best vehicle I ever owned, no mater what the price. Only major repair was clutch replacement at 198k miles (can't tell you how many people learned how to drive a standard transmission with her, plus the mudding may have done a number). Ice cold a/c I would drive her anywhere. She is a tough old girl. Trying to decide to sell her (have too many vehicles)or not, but can't seem to part with her Plus I want to see how many miles she will go. After this rough outing she did clean up nice.

 

Finally got around to uploading a mileage picture.

 

Best purchase I made in 2001, or any year since.

 

282,000

 

Just hit 215,814 today. Someone else broke the 1 hundy mark-I broke the 2 hundy mark. I've put about 85,400 miles on the truck since I've owned it for over 8 years. Can't fathom some of the miles people put on their vehicles. My average is actually quite pedestrian. Haha. Truck feels like the day I bought it, maybe even better.
Great thread, glad to be apart of it. Let's keep updating. Drive safe-drive happy. Go 1st gens!

 

194k on my 97 and it has a hard life. Still starts, does what I ask it to and is my daily driver. My boss has a 95 with 400k+

 

I just bought a 95.5 with 241,000 miles runs great! Wouldn't hesitate to drive across country. I would agree that miles aren't my main concern, it's who owned it prior and how the frame looks. Best Wishes with your purchase and happy trails.

 

Guess I'm part of the club now. 200k and still running strong. Needs the upstream o2 sensor to get the light off. Also has a little play in the front u joint and ball joints. Not bad for the hard miles I've put on it.

 

2003 Ext Cab 2.7l MT 4x4 333,5XX miles on it and never had any work done outside of regular maintenance

 

I have the same truck with 260000 miles

 

235000 on my 04
