How Long Can You Drive a Toyota?

I found this truck while I was cruising through a website. This the highest mileage I have seen in a while. Anybody else know of some well travelled Toyotas?

There is a Swiss couple that started driving their FJ60 around the world back in 1984. They have 372k on their truck, probably more. Original motor, tranny, t-case. Diff's have been rebuilt a couple of times, etc.

some guy somewhere out there has a late 80's or early 90's 2wd 22re thats around 1million on the original motor. Im pretty sure theres a thread with the link somewhere on here, but last time I looked for it i didnt have any luck.

edit: just noticed the link above me in this thread duh http://www.racetoretirement.org/#January%201,%202006
