RIP

 

WOW, an amazing guy…. I hope he is with the sister he never met…. That truck had a mission, it helped save lives….I like the idea of this truck being in a showroom. If an inanimate object deserves retirement, this one does. At the rate I am going with my gen 3…. I will be a 185 years old by the time I reach his mileage.

 

Thanks for posting that

 

Awwwww man what a neat story! F$#K Cancer!

Doing amazing things and being a genuine guy.


Those 2nd gen 2.7's were damn near bullet proof. Im curious as to the parts replacements over the years? Was that original motor and trans?

 

RIP Mike! F@## Cancer. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm there!

 

RIP.

 

Via con dios.


1.6 million, I think I first read about that guy when he hit a million. Fucking incredible.

 

I believe original transmission he replaced the motor at 880k (head gasket blew) he said he could have replaced the head gasket and went for the million all original but wanted to make sure he was back on the road reliably for the sake of the patients so he went with a used motor that had about 100k

I hope they give his wife a truck she needed one he stated

 

4 banger Toyota is the best. Well Toyota is the best, but we all know that. RIP Mike!

 

Looked like a good dude.

RIP Mike.

 

Probably had the original tires on it.

 

Amazing story, RIP guy!! Yea, cancer really sucks big time. I've lost several close friends the last couple years to cancer and am fighting it myself right now.

 

RIP Mike, I remember watching those videos. Him and his truck saved lives, glad it's on display.

 

damn hang in there and I hope the best for you

 

I pray you stay strong and win your personal fight - sorry to hear about your friends.

 

hoping the best for you!


Cool story about Mike, thanks for sharing. The man really did find and live out his purpose,,, makes one ask one's self.

 

Based on the math, I believe the engine the truck currently has is around 700k while the original lasted 800k. The 2.7L in the 3rd gen is the same, I believe.

 

RIP Mike and what a beautiful Truck ! It’s so nice to see it resting now in a beautiful place as is Mike I’m sure looking down and smiling.
What a heart warming story.

 

RIP

how do you keep track of the miles after it hits 999999?
