200,000 Mile Club (1st Gen Tacomas)

They still owe me a hat after scoring a 10 on a test, Grrr!!
*sorry for threadjack*

 

Maybe just ask for a sticker now lol?

 

Actually it was a T-shirt prize "but ran out" but then the contest event coordinators switched to hats as an award, received nothing. A sticker is better than nothing anyhow this promo was a while ago :cobwebs:

 

That sucks then I would want something then. Yea I was gonna use royal purple for engine oil but decided on Amazon basics full synthetic 5w30 and instantly made the engine quieter. I will use royal purple in my diff maybe it’s just too overpriced once I looked into it. I will def get synthetics to go in the diff And tranny .

 

I did all of this as well at about 195k. I think it helped a lot. I haven't moved to synthetic though as I think its probably better just to stay with conventional. Have you done your fuel filter or anything else yet?

 

285k, just did valve cover seals, spark plugs at 255k. Runs perfect. Has just as much power as it did new. never leaks a drop of anything. Ot does need ball joints and springs & shocks. What will fit OE TrD? Also thinking of maybe selling her, don't want to, just cant push and hold clutch anymore [back injury] . I figure that I will get honest opinions\maybe a buyer or two and value.
Peace and Love

 

283,000 miles, full of dents, runs like a champ.

 

have you explored any potential custom mods for the clutch?
i recall my late uncle that had polio coming to visit during the summers in the 70s & 80s in his ford van that had custom stuff to operate gas and brake, don't recall if he had MT in that van or not.

 

Mine runs amazing for a 1995

 

I just bought my first Tacoma ever, a 2003 4WD TRD with 246k miles. It runs pretty well, but the timing belt has *never* been replaced, so I'm doing that pronto before driving it. The previous owner was very open about all known issues, which also include the check engine light being out, the oxygen sensor not working and routine front brake work needs to be done in the next six months. BUT, what a great truck anyways! I got it for a good price ($3500) so I don't mind having the work done. It will not be my daily driver, but it will be my garden/mulch/mountain bike truck, and maybe some camping and hiking.

I'm sure I'll have questions, as I've never had a truck, 4X4 or Toyota before.

 

welcome to TW!

 

Cool odo reading.

 

heck ya!

 

I’m at 256,000 miles.

 

do you have that diff vent mod to the gas fill opening going on?

 

All my breathers are run up high. Learned years ago, when I filled the front diff up on my 86, and it hit -40 the following week. And I’d neglected to drain, clean and fill it. Froze that sunuvagun solid, and ruined my R&P lol! Expensive lesson!

 

293,500k on a 2001 Tacoma PreRunner 2.4L

 

215k on my daily


And 370k on my work truck

 

Deuces!
