200,000 Mile Club (1st Gen Tacomas)

3.4, 1999 Tacoma, just rolled over 200,400! Only major repairs were the radiator at 190,000, shocks at 160,000, and CV axels 200,000. Other than that just general maintenance.

 

2003 239k 3rd owner, truck has spent its entire life in interior AK. Many years of harsh winters...commonly -30 but as low as -50. That said we've all been spoiled up here this season...i think maybe 2 weeks below 0?

 

Wow ! That's a nice ride ! Impressive ! Any frame rust issues after spending timei in the AK winter climate \ road salt ?

 

Thanks! No frame issues ive discovered yet anyway....besides some normal surface rust. I took a poker and hammer to it before i bought it and couldnt find any soft spots.. luckily they dont salt the roads much here in the interior.

 

I have a 99 with 357k on it. Drive it daily!

 

I have a 99’ with almost 357k on it. Drive it daily, just had to replace the OEM plugs and wires. (To my knowledge they were the original ones). Runs like a top!

 

My 2004 has 250k. Its had Mobile 1 5W-30 since its 1st oil change and changed on a strict schedule ever since. The main thing is if you can find one that has had regular maintenance since new and well cared for. I talked to a guy at a gas station recently that had a 2001 with a million miles - yes a million - he got 800k on the original 3.4 and then replaced it with a Jasper reman engine. The transmission was replaced with a Jasper a couple times then last and current trans was a Toyota factory remanf unit The big thing is check the frame to make sure its solid.

 

My dads 04 has 275k and he’s just had regular maintenance. He works the hell out of his truck but it does the job. He bought it with 150k on it. First gens are amazing.

 

just rolled over 209K today running great

 

approx 265k, 2.4l, auto, bought 2 years ago with #1 dead, burnt valve, drove it back home on 3 cylinders about 200 miles. Did a valve job, changed oil/coolant, replaced plugs and wires while I was at it. Truck runs great and drives like a new one. Really. Only complaint is a bit of uneven idling but it's barely noticeable. Like someone said previously, it's all about the person who last owned the truck but they are definitely capable of going the distance for you.

 

Sitting at 199,701 - and I am excited to join this club soon. I ‘should’ be taking a road trip from Chicago to Texas and back in March - and then hoping for a Chicago to Central California coast in June. That will definitely do it!!

 

I just rolled 361k yesterday!

 

It's a 4runner, but hey, same drivetrain!

 

I have 461,252 on my ‘04. Love her dearly. Runs like the day I bought it.(brand new, in ’04)

 

That’s awesome ! Almost to the half a million!

 

Not long till you can join the half a million club with me, it kind of an exclusive little club

 

99 prerunner w/ 210,000+ mi and I couldn't ask for a better truck, except maybe a 2022. Sure I got it at 187,000 mi and had to replace a lot of the undercarriage, but, it runs like a dream.

 

214k.

 

About to leave this group and move up….299,910 miles. bought new in San Francisco. Rolled to Tahoe every weekend and Baja trips now that we are in San Diego. Motor and trans have never been apart. I did the tundra brake mod way back when, steel braided lines, ome springs up front and Wheelers 3 leaf add in the rear. Front and rear hitches. Standard maintenance and some trail breakage. Really only needs the front seat redone.

 

Had a '95 SR5, 3.4l automatic 4X4, 296k, ran like a top, made normal repairs(general maintenance). Have a '97 base model, 2.7l 4X4 5speed standard drive, bought it with 312k, now has 337k also runs like a top, gets better fuel mileage than the first, is in shop at the moment for shifting issues, otherwise great
