I was coming down my street and just happened to look down and see my odometer at 99,998, right as I pulled into my driveway it went to 99,999!!

I've been avoiding driving it for almost a week now, hahaha. It's like trying to keep your kid from growing up, don't want my truck to be over 100K, hahaha.

Oh well, it's gonna happen at some point. Took a picture to remember it.

At least it will be easier to match the mileage up when I put SR5 gauges in. Actually does anybody know if it's possible to roll an odometer back without breaking it, and if so how do you do it? I figure I'll get the SR5 gauges from the junkyard and roll it back to match the mileage.

check out Bleeder's thread...i believe he did a little bit of that but i can't remember if it worked or not.

So this just means your Toyota is officially broken in.

Haha, yeah I guess so. It only took 18 years. I can't believe the PO only put 96K on it in 17 years. I've only out 3K on it to get it to this point, so I didn't really do any "breaking in".

I looked at iamsuperbleeder's SR5 gauge swap thread and didn't see anything mentioned about turning the odometer back. I've seen guys talk about swapping the odometer's out from their non SR5 to the SR5, but it looks tricky with the tripometer involved, I'd much rather try turning it back, just want to do it without breaking it.

I know it must be able to be done, because I looked at a few trucks that the owner's were trying to scam the mileage out on, a couple looked pretty good, with some slight damage to the numbers, one guy just busted it and it didn't work anymore when I test drove it. By the way they all left the oil change sticker on the windshield with the next oil change based on the original/real milage. One of them showed the next oil change at like 216K and the odometer read 126K or something. Nothing like dumb people who try to scam.

My 90 just rolled over a month or two. When I carfaxed it, the it showed the PO had only driven like 1K miles a year for the last ten years. And only 60K miles in the first ten. I think you and I both are good for another 100K easy.

Yup pruney I'd say easily. My '92 Xtra cab is surpsingly not rusted too bad at all for 18 years and 100K, especially since it spent a lot of it's life in upstate NY with salty roads.

The head gaskets were done on this 3VZE by the PO, well by Toyota in the HG campaign, at around 45K, so I should hopefully be good for a while on those too, or hopefully be good forever on those.
