LOL!
Not photoshopped at all!! All original. The PO took good care of it. I was SOOO impressed. Few quirks here and there but it was a family vehicle for years and the kid just got tired of it. MAN! A Limited (my fav) that was not wrecked nor engine blown and THEN sounded like a Singer sewing machine -- no brainer...
I plan to put 200k more miles on her. I DO! I got rid of my 2000 Limited almost 10 yrs ago with 224k miles on it (DUMB DUMB). Never make a mistake like that again! Toyota to me has to be the best engineered vehicles in the world.

Tranny is doing fine so far, no slip at all and I drive with ECT often (if that matters), but I know it's seen little maintenance in it's lifetime. Really should do a flush and screen replacement soon.
Rear diff was rebuilt during the last ownership, thankfully, along with basic upkeep like timing belt/water pump, radiator, etc.



Totally rad! There's been a few million mile Tacos, I see few reasons why we can't make it too
What kind of upkeep has it seen? Any breakdowns?

As far as I know from the PO, it was well maintained by the family and family certified mechanic. Boy oh boy. The price was right and so was the sound on the motor. I was thinking of taking her to the stealership to see their faces when they look at the ODO LOL!! The only issue right now is the CAT is clogged up and there is no HP. The PO welded the CAT and the bolts to the exhaust. Im having a hell of a time getting them off. Other than that, Im excited!

Toyota

Drop Toyota a shout out on the gram and I bet you they will send you some stuff. I know a snowboarding friend had 700k on his 08 Tundra and he posted on their instagram and they sent him some cool stuff and had dealership give him a serious inside price on several Toyota vehicles.

458something on my 96 I got from IAA, with a 5speed.

Bad HF, but will still crank and drive just fine.

Can’t wait to swap the transmission into my 99 Limited; and rebuild the 3.4 from the 96. Highest Mileage on a third generation

2001

My wife and I have 231K miles on our 2001 Limited 4X4. We are the original owners of this T4R and had a TRD supercharger installed when we bought it new. Of course, gas was around $1 a gallon back then.

Talking

99 limited 4wd w/326,099 mi, OG engine and tranny running smooth. Recently replaced the valve cover gaskets did the process Timmy the Toolman provided on YouTube. After cleaning the throttle body and it’s components meticulously, the car idles beautifully, purrs like a kitten! Hope to get another 300k miles out of her!

Just took my ‘99 Limited in for a service. 280k on the odometer. Runs like a brand new car. But the upholstery needs to be replaced. Really the only part of the car showing wear are the front seats.
