I would cheat, put the drill to it, crank it up, and roll it back to where it was ok maybe not. But you could do it...

I wish they'd put down which motors are in them. Kinda curious to see which of the 1st/2nd gen 4Runners and 2nd/3rd gen Trucks are racking up those miles on a 3.0 so the haters on this site can see.

this reminds me of an episode on the discovery i believe about an old toyota hatchback that hit 1 million miles, can't seem to find the info.

but here's a nice vid to watch in case ya'll haven't seen it yet. they tried killing an old diesel pickup, but it just wouldn't die!

I have a friend with an 86 4x4 thats still running with over 300k. but thats not the amazing part. That truck has been fliped end over end 3 times and into a lake upside down. I got a call from him the night he wrecked and I went to help him and the only part of the truck that was visible above water was about 3" of the back left tire. The truck was pulled out fluids drained and started!
