200,000 Mile Club (1st Gen Tacomas)

Meh. Let us know when you hit 400k.

 

226k on the beater 2rz truck and 10 miles on my freshly built 3rz 4x4 truck.. now only if I can get it running FUUUUCKKK!

 

01 3.4 with 206k. Runs like new.

 

2005 double cab 6speed at 163000.... Just getting broken in...lol

 

Im 3000 miles shy...

 

hey. Bought the truck at 203K. Had to redo the VCG but no major issues. Also did the plugs and wires too. I have a question though. I'm going to be taking it on a rather long road trip. I'm not sure of its full maintenance past, but what should I look into replacing or cleaning for said road trip? I'd like to do the timing belt and pump and all just for peace of mind(not sure when it was done last). Also, clean all the components I can i.e MAF, IAC, TB all that good stuff. Any suggestions on what should take precedence, and what things to avoid when doing said jobs? Any info is helpful. Thank you Tacoma world. I love my Tacoma

 

ive got 315k now and i take it from charleston sc to clemson sc once every two months (about 220 miles) at 85 the whole time no problems. i would do the water pump and timing chain thats catastrophic if it fails. how long of a trip? welcome to TW!

 

99 2.7 with 205K. Original clutch, rack and pinion, ball joints, u joints, rear brakes, water pump, alternator,,,ect.

 

2001 Tacoma 4WD extcab TRD SR5 2.7l 4 banger 227,000 miles with no problems. Replaced 1 set of belts, and tensioner pully on AC (bad bearing) 1 set of front brake pads and 1 front brake rotor. The only problem I have is a sticky throttle cable that I need to fix, I've seen a few other post with the same problem, throttle has a bad spot on the top (accelerator not pressed) and you have to press it pretty hard at times to get it free, otherwise it has been a joy to own and drive for the last 13 years.

 

Well,,the full meal deal on service items if you don't know the past, gear oils front to back, filters, ect. Check the accessory belts of course. If the water pump is not leaking, I would just leave that alone. Check your spark plugs,see how they look as far as condition and burn of the cylinder if you want.

Sometimes replacing those things you think need to be replaced,,will jump back and bite you 1/2 way thru your trip just because hands were put on it. The old montra of "if it's not broke,,don't touch" applies to a certain extent. A person still needs to be observant of possible items that may break or fail. The more miles you have on it, the more vigilant you need to be. Your just hitting the sweet spot in it's mileage life. I have 205 and I wouldn't blink twice about loading up and taking off.

If it is running fine,,just simple service and pre trip items and you should be good to go. I had to make a emergency trip of over 2400 miles once. All I had time for was a quick bag of clothes. Checked coolant, oil, tires, squirter fluid,,and I rolled out. I was right on top of a oil change before leaving. No problems whatsoever, The Tacoma took me there and brought me back without issue.

 

212k on a '99 PreRunner 2.7. Bought it with 180k or so, nothing major done by the previous owner (that I know of). Had a CEL in December, replaced the plugs and wires and took it on a 1500 mile trip and it was perfect.

 

Sorry to hear about your MS. I'll be riding for a cure this April...Houston to Austin MS150. Prayers to you.

 

199,9xx miles almost there!

 

Strong as ever.
Body is cherry, no rust.
Single stage white paint still shines.

 

You belong here as well sir!

Gonna be a 3500 mile trip or so. Going through Canada. Thats my main concern is not being stranded. Vehicle fixes on the ALCAN is crazy expensive.

Thanks for the info. I fall victim frequently to Murphy's Law, what can go wrong will go wrong so I'm just trying to cover my bases.

 

211k here. plan on a long trip in about a month....hope she doesnt fall apart lol

 

Come back when your older.....


204,977 & counting.....

 

Just hit 191K this morning. If everything goes as planned, she should eclipse 200K around the end of the year.

 

No problem,,Murphy struck again on your quote,,lmao.

Have read that there used to be sections/miles of intermitten abandoned vehicles on the ALCAN,,back in the day. Red rust highway memorabilia.
