How many miles are on your 1st Gen Tacoma

My 01 was hovering 300k before my dumbass decided to restore it. Here we are almost 4 years later... still not done. Lol

 

Me too. Look what I got in the mail today. NOS parts, thanks eBay. Creeping up on 240k mi. Can’t believe how polished my nob was.

 

Tripped 197k this week.

 

I'm only at a little over 166k. Unfortunately its only 4k on the new-used motor. Turns out you loose a little oil at 70mph with this in the side of the block........

 

What let loose inside to cause that?

 

From the best I can tell it spun a bearing for cylinder 2, the rod let go came back around and punched the hole just behind the oil filter. I was getting up to speed on a somewhat potholed section of Hwy so felt a jolt, but no CELs and only thing was a really light, what I thought was a misfire (at the time I was having intermittent coil pack issues so I didn't think much of it). About 5 more miles down the road I started to hear a really faint metallic whine, pushed in the clutch to pull over and the engines siezed instantly and the dash lit up. I came back to the section of Hwy I felt the jolt the next morning and there was a 6ft wide 100ft long spray of 5w-30.

 

I have a 95 with over 500k and i took this picture of my 02 this morning. Bought both new and both are MT V6's

 

forgot to add both are 4wd, haven't had to do anything to them but wear items, both sill have the original clutches

 

clutch is a wear item like brakes, what is your secret for the longevity?

 

Im old, MT's are all i have every driven. I think its more how you drive them plus i hate changing a clutch. Both are TRD's and have spent 1000's of miles off road. Might just be luck but i am a Taco man till i die. Just bought a new green pro but can not part with my first gens. Even though i am about to have to spend some money on the 02 if i keep it as a DD.

 

I just replaced my clutch, throw out bearing, and rear main seal alittle while ago, had about 200000 on the clutch. Clutch was looking good still. I used a Toyota brand last time and this time. They last! And like he said, I believe it’s how you drive them.

 

69k

 

212,248 here, on an '02 DC. Sorry, I just had to try the blue LEDs 'cause they look great in our Chrysler, but I don't think I'm diggin' it so much here... ?

 

My shift knob looks like that as well. Think I will check on getting a new one.

 

Happy 4th of July!

I have 167K on my 04 DC and still going strong.

 

Just under 60k, 2000 Prerunner w/ 2.7 auto.

 

Now 6 months later I'm now at 75k miles

 

3 months later and added 14.5k miles to 154500 ... it was a busy spring/early summer hauling all over the place on cheap taco juice (0.91c being the lowest i found out there) never let a crisis goto waste
yesterday was the first time in almost 4 months i put over $2 a gallon in it 2.09, found a place local today 1.74 still not too bad not great
