My mom's 4runner has 270k miles and still going..
Is this pretty typical?
Anyone care to share?

 

you still got a awhile to go on that bad boy. one of my buddies papaw sold a 92 p/u that had about 320,000 and it ran great

 

85 4Runner 176K
85 ext cab 192K
87 4Runner 155K
87 4Runner 364K

Beat that!

 

My Runner is sitting at a little over 272K.
But we are trying to find a 3.4 Tacoma motor to swap with my Runners 3.0.
My engine still runs great, but, we are just wanting to do the conversion.

 

My P/U has 364K but I replaced the original engine with a remanned 22RE at 315K...does that count?

 

I don't know, omgodzilla didn't give any specifications.
Our 86' Yota has over 380K, but we had done a motor swap. So I didn't count that rig & not sure what our other 84' Yota sits at.

 

I mean on the stock motor.
No swaps, rebuilds, etc
Just regular maintenance like oil changes, spark plugs, etc and so forth..

 

This is a bit off topic,
But can someone please tell me the difference between a 98 4runner, and a 2000 4runner?
exterior, interior, engine difference, etc
Thanks

 

lil bit, your runner looks sweet. thats the first pic ive seen of a (2nd gen??) 2 dr runner. do you have any more pics? sorry for gettin off topic but i cant help myself

 

1985 2wd 5pd ext. cab pickup sold for $3000.00 w/260k miles ran great!

1996 sr5 4runner 3.4 5spd w/218k miles and runs very strong, leaks some oil but gets great mpg too really...18/23....

 

90 4runner 244xxx still counting original motor stock clutch still rolling along

 

i met someone in vegas with a 1985 runner original everything only mods are ARB bumper, and air lockers. never been rebuilt, sitting at 535,000 miles. he said he hadnt even done a HG, most major thing done is the pumps, and valves adjusted.

 

Yeah it is a 2nd Gen. We could have had our hands on another 90' 2dr for $1500 (water pump was out & the guy didn't want 2 deal with it) that was right around the time we bought mine, but, we had are eyes on the 84' Yota PU and bought that instead as it already had gears/lift/locker already in it and well worth the 1500 we paid for it.

This should help you out. Once there, just click each year for specific information: http://www.top4runners.com/ja/runhist31996.html

 

My mechanic has a 96 4runner with 34X,XXX miles on it.

ALL ORIGNAL! The only thing he has had to do to it in all that time other then regular maintece is a heater valve. That was actually why i got my 4runner. And they are no exactly "easy" on that truck either.

 

got 220k on mine
had a burnt valve 190k
other than that, still going strong

 

I had 246K on my 1990 3.0L, original motor and automatic transmission. And it wasn't one of the recalled ones.

 

There has been a post on the site for two or three days asking the question "why are the big three failing". I believe these testimonials explain it better than any reply I've seen.
