My Runner is sitting at a little over 272K.
But we are trying to find a 3.4 Tacoma motor to swap with my Runners 3.0.
My engine still runs great, but, we are just wanting to do the conversion.

I don't know, omgodzilla didn't give any specifications.
Our 86' Yota has over 380K, but we had done a motor swap. So I didn't count that rig & not sure what our other 84' Yota sits at.

i met someone in vegas with a 1985 runner original everything only mods are ARB bumper, and air lockers. never been rebuilt, sitting at 535,000 miles. he said he hadnt even done a HG, most major thing done is the pumps, and valves adjusted.

Yeah it is a 2nd Gen. We could have had our hands on another 90' 2dr for $1500 (water pump was out & the guy didn't want 2 deal with it) that was right around the time we bought mine, but, we had are eyes on the 84' Yota PU and bought that instead as it already had gears/lift/locker already in it and well worth the 1500 we paid for it.
Check the pics out

My mechanic has a 96 4runner with 34X,XXX miles on it.
ALL ORIGNAL! The only thing he has had to do to it in all that time other then regular maintece is a heater valve. That was actually why i got my 4runner. And they are no exactly "easy" on that truck either.

Finally the answer!
There has been a post on the site for two or three days asking the question "why are the big three failing". I believe these testimonials explain it better than any reply I've seen.
