Death Valley Germans bluff site

(2021-06-22, 09:17 AM)DAW89446 Wrote: The Tacoma, a 2002, was a superb truck. Bought it new. Only time in the shop was for its 100,000 mile timing belt/water pump replacement; in 2017 for spark plugs. Still on original clutch. AC never serviced and blows cold. Brakes never serviced. I kept it mechanically stock. Son also keeping it stock. Truck just turned over 200,000; still on original clutch, fourth battery, fourth set of tires, original brakes, third set of shocks.

That's impressive. I have the 1999 4Runner that my parents bought new, and it still has the original clutch, with over 286,000 miles on it. But it's had a collection of electrical gremlins, and so has gone through two alternators, three starter motors, and more batteries than I want to admit. I *think* we've finally gotten these solved (I'm very lucky to have a great local shop that specializes in 4WD Toyotas), and I'm now dealing with its other issues (suspension, ABS, steering, fuel system, etc.; a lot of this stemmed from my parents not realizing what needs to be replaced on a vehicle that was driven off-road frequently, even though they were great at getting fluid changes and other routine maintenance done very regularly).
