My 4Runner is all set for yet another 100k miles!

Gregg · Jul 11, 2005

Dang, you must drive alot. My 1985 4runner only has 175,000 miles.

I actually remember seeing an article a while back about a guy who had a 2wd tacoma that he used as a delivery truck, he traded it in with 500,000 miles for a new one. :cool:

They also had a list of the parts he had replaced, which was very short.

Still looks great, but why are you making it pretend to be a rock crawler?

dexter · Jul 11, 2005

Well, he put the fake TRD sticker on there, so maybe he secretly wishes for a truck. :devil:

"...I love my Toy and she has always been good to me and I PROMISE not to go 10,000 miles without changing the oil again..."

Run MOBIL1 and she won't get near as mad at you if you miss an oil change date by a little.. :thumb:

Yea, you put a TRD sticker on a 4-runner that does not come stock with a TRD off-road package.
Its the same as buying a BMX 3-series and putting a M3 badge on it.
Or wearing an Air Force jacket when you can't even fly a plane. :blah:

Your sticker is covering your gas cap, it that not a pain in the azz?

Nice 4 runner though. I put 205,000 miles on one myself.

narlus · Jul 11, 2005

ouch. i guess he did know what he was talking about.

what's that term N8 likes so much?

"Denial"?

"Tin-foil"?

Ah, I know, you mean "Tool"!

captainpolution · Jul 12, 2005

what did it cost you to get the rear diff oil changed?

i know the stealership charges like 100 something for transfercase fluid change, and thats like a 20 min job lol

jacksonpt · Jul 12, 2005

Cool. I would think you could expect 400k before you have to start putting money in it regularly, especially if any of those miles are highway miles.

I've got about 115 on my 96, but my rig is starting to show signs that it's been used pretty hard most of it's life. Thinking about getting rid of it, but with all the mods it's not worth much and I don't have the energy right now to sell it outright.

Does anyone else hear the pot talking? I swear I heard him saying something.......

I'd say I have about 20% highway miles. I have been really bad lately and have been using the hell out of it pulling construction debris trailers to and from job sites without changing the oil regularly... I've got to stop that though.

The thing is that I have really looked and shopped around for a 2005 4Runner but I keep compairing it to my 3rd gen and liking the 3rd gen better (except for the newness factor).

However, I do want a new FJ40 when it comes out...

I'll be interested to see the FJ that actually hits dealer floors.

My wife has an 05 4Runner. Once I got used to how girly it felt compared to my truck, I realized it's a pretty nice truck... very smooth.

If I get rid of my truck, I'll probably get a new Tacoma. I'm also thinking about keeping the truck and getting a motorcycle for a summer DD. Knowing me, I probably won't do anything... I'll just keep complaining about my truck.

Just buy an xterra...

Sorry, I had to throw that in there.

hehe... I'd expect nothign less from you. But regardless, I doubt I'd sell one SUV just to buy another.

Yeah, I am probably going to buy a 4-door Taco 4x4 next year as well. I am keeping my 4Runner though. I made the mistake of selling my 87' Toy 4x4 pick-up when I bought my 4Runner and have regreted it ever since.

*edit* Last night I at Barnes & Nobles some d00d in a brand new Hummer 3 parked next to my '97 4Runner which game a good chance to compair how they looked side by side. The conclusion? The H3 suxors ass... Who wants side windows on a suv that are only 10_in tall??? The H3 looks really smushed down and the clearence under neath is no better than my 3rd gen.

Hummer = crap

end of story.

I've been pretty happy with my xterra. It is almost exactly what I want in a vehicle right now in my life. The only things I would change about it is a little more cargo room would be nice, better gas mileage, and I'm hoping on adding an additional leaf spring soon.

Also only comes with the 220 horse 5 cylinder that has enough trouble moving the chevy colorado.
