202,500 km and still loving my truck

Just a little zero-rant time about my truck...

I just rolled over 202,500 km and spent some time replacing my shocks. After about 122,000 km my previous Bilstein 5100s were a little loose in the back.

Since I was planning on an alignment, I threw on some new Moog outer tie rod ends too, with grease fittings. The ball joints in the old ones were nearly like new, despite some milky grease under the boots.

The upper ball joints are in great shape too.

I managed to drive for 192,000 km without replacing brake pads. Needless to day, I replaced my pads and rotors with OEM.

This truck has been in three accidents (none my fault). I'm so thankful that damage each time was body damage. All fluids are changed out regularly (to the near-disgust of my co-workers haha).

New tires are in the near future (Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs), and I'm going with the old-school TOYOTA lettering on the tailgate. My BFG's have been awesome (120,000 km on these ones), but I prefer the look of the Duratracs and reviews seem great.

This truck is so easy to work on, and I do all the work I can myself, when it needs doing.

Here's to 300,000 more!

 

Nice. 161000km on my 09. Best vehicle
