20K today

***Corey*** · 03-15-2009, 12:05 PM

Went out to the rig this morning to so some shopping, and my speedo greeted me with a 20K salute where I had parked it Friday after work.
It is barely broken in yet, and I am going on almost three years with it come July.

Picture was taken with my LG Dare phone at full res, then shrunk down to a 1200x900.

Congrats, Corey. My pickup just hit 367,001 when I parked it last.

***Corey*** · 03-15-2009, 01:11 PM

Thanks, I hope to get many more.
Sounds like yours is treating you well.

My first Toyota was a '79 2WD I bought used with 180K on it.
It ran like it was brand new, then one time coming back from Eastern WA. the X wife and I took an exit to get gas, and we heard a loud bang.
Blew the head gasket on that 20R engine.

Still drove it over to Western WA. and got the head gasket done and water pump at Toyota of Puyallup for under $400 I think back in '87.

Funny how mine turned 20K at my parking spot though.
Glad I was able to snag a quick pic of it before adding more miles to it.

You putting that pic on your FJ wall of fame, Corey?

BigBluePile · 03-15-2009, 02:27 PM

Corey, that's awesome you parked it at 20,000.0!! The same thing happened to me when I hit 150,000.0 in my '86! I just parked in my spot at my apartment and couldn't believe the odds!! Enjoy many more miles out of your rig!!!

bigt · 03-15-2009, 02:32 PM

4RunnerMN · 03-15-2009, 04:36 PM

seems like i am always hitting milestone mileage numbers while doing 80 on the freeway, still can't resist snapping a pic with the phone.

**aviator** · 03-15-2009, 04:45 PM

What did the trip odo say? that will give us the precise decimal figure... lol
Great when that block out just happens at a time you can snap a pic...
Mines at about 349750+/-.... should tip 350k this mo.

***Corey*** · 04-29-2009, 04:02 PM

To bizarre huh?
Six weeks later after turning 20,000 and I turned 21,000 today when I parked.

This is twice now that it has been on exactly a round full number like 20K and 21K in my parking spot.

**UKMyers** · 04-29-2009, 06:41 PM

Sounds like my Taco. I traded it in after 2.5 years and it only had 19K on it. My cousin works in the Oil Fields of Wyoming and he has 85K on his 08 Tundra. He has to change his oil every two weeks. I can't imagine driving that much.

**aviator** · 04-29-2009, 09:23 PM

I remember driving that much when I had my 87... crazy...
Corey only 21K so far? You should be drivin' more lol...
