200,000 mile milestone...took some pics w/ the new wheels:-) (sorry 56k)

Finally did it, reached the 200,000 mile mark in my '95 4runner(well it hit earlier in the week but didn't have my camera on me so 300miles later). She has been an awesome rig and I'm going to keep her as long as I can. Bought the truck 3 years ago in this month locally. The truck was in my price range but more importantly it was clean and very well maintained. Awesome truck to own, never once gave me a problem. Even with the 33's on I get 275miles per tank.
Take a look at the pics...I recently put my 33" BFG ATs w/ 15" rock crawlers on and took off the running boards. I also removed the outer part of the facotry brush guard and just left the center protector and I think it looks a lot better this way. Oh yeah I'm going to be getting a setup to take care of the sag but I haven't decided on which coils I wanna get but I will know soon.

That is great!

When my prior vehicle (full size chevy) reached 200,000 miles it was about to give up the ghost!

Just wondering... though Japanese cartoons have a lot of sacred animals. Which one is it from? I was thinking Princess Mononoke.

Yeah it's from Princess Mononoke...in the anime if you've seen the sacred wolf gods watch over the village.

The rig looks awesome! And 275 miles to the tank, not too shabby. Is that with 33x10.5's, or 33x12.5's?

My '92 is at 188K miles and I hoping to lift it, and biggen the rubber with in the next 10K miles, or year...whichever comes first, just been trying to figure what rubber to go with.

I haven't seen it. Watch it and let me know! I really like the japanese animation. I'm watching a "new" series on Toonami called Naruto, it's pretty cool. Not as serious as stuff like P.M., but it's pretty cool.

Very clean. I hope to get as many miles on mine as well (only 100k left to go). I think some lights on that center bar would look great.

Me, too. That truck looks way too good to have 200K on the clock. I hope mine makes it to 200!

no lift, stock everything...but get this the only time I'll rub is if I'm backing up in reverse and have the steering wheel cranked all the way in either direction. I'm pretty sure they rub on the lower valance on the front bumper, I wanted to take that off but some a couple of the bolts were giving me hell so I'm going to cut them off this weekend.

yeah i was and it shocked me to find out no one wanted it. I was orginally asking $4100 for the rig and then I bumped the price down $3,750 and still no one was interested. However, the truck is no longer for sale. I realized even though I'm going to be away a lot since I'm in the Marine Corps Officer Program I'll still need my truck when I'm back home. So I kept her, and found an awesome deal on 4 rockcrawlers and an even better deal on the tires.
