How many miles on your 4runner?
Hi, this is my first post. I bought a '97 4runner for my wife about 5 years ago (she kept seeing them on the road and asking, "What's that? I want one of those."-- I guess I'm just lucky!)
Anyway, it had 50,000 miles on it when I bought it and now it has over 176,000 miles. Haven't done a thing to it except preventive maintenance and oil changes. Oh, and a brake job.
Question is: how many miles on your 4runner? How many miles should I expect to get?

This is a question I've wondered, as my 97 is over 150,000mi, with seemingly tons of life left.
Like you, routine maintenance has been just about all I've had to do, save for a rack & pinion unit that died last summer. I blame valet parking (I park in New York City every day in a valet garage)...those cats squeal around tight corners like Mario friggin' Andretti, and my heavy LT265/70R16 BFG All-Terrains worked the fluid hard until a seal finally blew.
I also replaced my shocks with Bilsteins, but that was preference, not part failure.
I'm hoping to get completely tired of the truck before I'd ever "need" to replace it, and I'd love to see about 2 dozen replies from 200,000mi + 4runner owners...

98K on a '99. Just got this a few months ago but looking at service records, the brakes have never been changed. I heard it wasn't unusual for these trucks to go 100k before a brake change. Any experiences?

108k and the only thing besides routine maintenance I had to have done was the rear axle seals.
