    Thanks. Just keeping it going from the previous NorCal owners.

    Unfortunately, in Michigan, winter is always around the corner.

    Looks good! She's still a baby. My 96 is going on 475,000, so just take care of her and you two will have a very long relationship.

    Wow! I'm consistently amazed by how many miles people manage to get on these things with little more than fluid changes and brakes and tires.

    Pinstripes, lots of em. Plus a couple dents.
    Too clean. You need some off road tires, a winch, and a real tree camo paint job on there.

    My flight instructor has a 2001 with just shy of a half million miles on it. He said he's keeping it till it gets to a million. Basic, regular maintenance is key!

    270k here...shooting for the half million mark! I think I'll be dead before she sees 1M though. Took 18 years to get to 1/4 Million.

    she's just starting to get broken in. Mileage isn't a huge issue..as long as oil/fluids/etc are changed on a regular basis...my 4runner has 251k on it...I plan to hit 500k on it...before I croak.

    At 50, racing my 4Runner “to-the-death” is a bit of a sobering thought. I might have to miss a few oil changes to win this one!
