300k Miles+ - Proper Maintenance for Older Toyotas
As so many other loving Toyota owners do, I refuse to give up on my 1997 4Runner 4wd SR5 without a fight. I have replaced radiators (7+), alternators, and most recently had a crank shaft bolt break.
My '97 4runner now has 324,000 miles and it's running better than ever. Original 3.4 engine, origianal transmission, etc. etc.
As a paranoid individual, I feel like I'm neglecting some crucial maintenance that may lead to my vehicle's demise.
Outside of regular fluid changes (oil, transmission, diff.'s, x-fer case, etc etc), regular maintenance (spark plugs/wires, air filter...) what can I do to keep my 97 running as great as it is?
Thanks and feel free to tell about your own Toyotas that refuse to die.
