brand new 3VZE
Hello out there in Yotatech land!
So my girlfriend and I and of course the kids were thinking about driving to Flag Staff AZ to go and be with her parents for new years eve. I only have about 130 miles on my 92 Four Runner and was wondering if it would be a good idea to drive it down from Las Vegas to Flag Staff?
Is it too soon? Should I put more miles on the motor before taking a long trip?
Everything is running good on my toy. Is he ready for a 280 mile trip? Thats just one way, so more like a 400 plus mile trip.
What should I do??!! What should I do??!! It took me a whole year to get him running and I already love to drive it. I wont be doing any four wheeling. The main reason I am even considering taking my toy is cause we might have to take our beagle Duke, and there is no room in my girlfriends Corrola for a dog and two kids and my 69 Mustang.......well forget that!!
Please tell me what you all think I should do.
Thanks

Check your oil and fluids at least once along the way and after you get there. 280 miles would be the perfect break-in trip.

the trip should be fine. like mentioned vary the engine speed every now and then- if it's a stick shift back and forth between 4th and 5th or if it's an auto kick it in and out of overdrive. floor it every once in a while and coast too. try to not hold a constant engine speed for too long.
stop a couple times on the trip to check your oil.
and good luck!
