    My 4runner had 324K on it when I sold it.
    Everything still worked with no problems.
    These trucks last a very long time if you just take care of them.

    Yeah, I do all the fluids early as well as all the belts and pulleys. I figure it's cheaper to replace the fluids than it is to replace the engine or transmission.

    Installed a reverse camera on the flip-up license plate bracket from tailgatecamera.com that plugs into the factory harness and feeds the viewer on the reverse mirror as it was hard to see due to the swing arm tire carrier. It works great but the viewer is still really small I look forward to seeing what others do maybe send the signal to an iPad would be great.
    PXL_20240713_233134093.jpgNeeded a backup set of keys for the new rig so I ordered a Toyota key blank and Fob. I was able to program the Fob but a locksmith charged me $65 to program the key.

    Built a 3 board sleeping platform that's easy to install/uninstall for when I need larger things in the back. At 6'1" I JUST fit back there, need a little diagonal but it's nice and cozy. The carpet really ties the bed together.

    I started researching new floor pans for the taco, i have a lot of really soft spots and 2 holes to fix. ugh...I really wish I wouldve scraped that rubberized undercoating off the underside of the truck the day I bought it now.

    More mods than it should have...
    Why does Toyota think it's a good idea to put the window channel right in the path of the door stop? :facepalm: Also, are you gonna have to replace the rubber piece as well?
