Tacoma goes on 5,000 mi journey across North America!

Awesome tires, I got those on my diesel and they wear like iron.

 

I'm so jealous! Are you on the Alcan highway?

 

Nice .. rock'in the steelies. They look brand new still .. was wondering how long they hold up before rusting/and look like chit ?!

 

Yeah they hold up well. I'm going to paint them black this summer and the centercaps (Toyota logo) red. I bought some 2014 Tacoma 17" Rims for my summer setup, these are now dedicated winter wheels.

 

I installed new wheel bearings and I think that was the problem with the 4wd system. It tracks straight now and 4H works great. Also changed the T-case oil with synthetic
& added 350lbs worth of sand in the bed, and now with the studded Duratracs its a great combo on the snowy/icy roads we have had here in Anchorage.

 

Very cool, man. For 208,000 miles, your truck looks great!

 

Mine? Lol.

 

Picture 9 on the first page looks like Zimmerman trail in Billings.

 

Way cool!!

 

Yes they are! My suspension shop said I needed wheel bearing and lower ball joints in order to get an alignment. I took it to dealership and had their master tech do some work to the truck due to other shop being backed up with jobs

He called me and said after installing the bearings he took it for a test drive and it drove perfect No need for the lbj or alignment. I'm not sure what else he did but the truck drives great now and 4wd works perfectly

 

Beautiful scenery. Didn't get any pics on my trip down the Alcan

 

Thanks man! Just driving the truck around it feels like it has 50k on it No rattles, everything works no interior falling out no rips nothing.

Maybe Toyota just uses stronger or better parts? Not sure why it last so long but I'm not complaining. I only did oil changes and air filters Changed spark plugs at 195k miles! along with rear brakes and drive belts. brake fluid, tranny fluid, T-case, front and rear diffs, coolant flush and both wheel bearings at 208k. Still on original clutch, shifts smooth
