Thats right, she's turnin 150,000 just as I'll be taking her up to college 1,300 miles away in a week and a half.





and a poser shot just for kicks...


I'm getting the timing belt and water pump done, fixing an oil leak, doing the front brakes and changing all the fluids (diffs, tranny, regular old engine). Anything else I should be looking to do on this momentous occasion?

 

Usually I couldn't care less about a stock 4Runner, but yours looks very clean. Looks really good!

 

Damn thats cleaner than my 02 with same milegae.

Looks like she just came out of the wax machine. It was a glorious day when I waxed mine.

 

if its an auto you've got nothing else to do. If you have a manual i would keep and eye on the clutch master cylinder. Mine went out at about 150000. and the clutch and flywheel might need replacing soon. Im at 163000 and my tacoma still runs like it just rolled of the show room floor. Oh and when you replace the timing belt make sure you replace the serpentine belts too, they're a pain in the ass to get to so since your going to have it taken apart anyways, that would be a good time to do it.

 

maybe do a seafoam cleaning and change the spark plugs afterwards. It'll clean alot of carbon build up in your engine. Don't for get to change the fuel filter. and change the antifreeze if that hadn't been done yet. Also I highly recommend if you have rough idle to clean the idle air control valve, it'll idle as smooth as day one. Nice clean rig

 

damn 1300 miles to school?? better take out a bank note to pay for the gas to get there!!

 

Hell yeah, man... that black w/o decals looks awesome... need some bigger meats though

 

Thanks everyone, I've only had it for a year but I've been takin care of it the best I can. Thanks for the reminder about the fuel filter, I almost forgot I was going to check that.

Those are 33's so I'd rather not go up at all on tire size, just moving up two inches made a big difference on power. Maybe 12.50's would make it fill better than the 10.50s.

Kinda hard to take a picture when you're going 60 and trying to merge onto george bush from 75, but hey it works.

 

You might go ahead and change the PCV valve as well. It's like $5 max!

 

150,00 eh, try 350,000 plus on my 88 pick up and still 4xin strong lol but nice 4runner
