My 2 Cents worth I just picked my 4Runner yesterday from having the driver side Cat replaced (Timing belt and water pump as well). I had to do the passenger side last March, so I know those dreaded P0420 codes! The worst part is that (According to a tread on this site...) the traction control...

10 years young While 213,000 miles is a lot, it runs like a dream, no squeaks, grinds, or rattles. Seems to feel best at 82 mph while tacking about 2200 rpm. I bought it new and have to admit it's been nice not having a car payment for the past 4 years! I definitely have new car fever, but I...

04 with 213k and change My V8 4x4 Sport just rolled over 213,000 miles last month. Still a daily driver after 10 years. Had to put master cylinder and cat converter in this year but other than that, gas/tires/oil and brakes. Dash starting to crack but not like some pics I've seen on this forum...

Better the devil you know Appreciate the input, but I've decided that I'd rather dump 2k into my truck that I know has been taken care of verses 20k for an unknown. I have to admit that a 2005 with only 25,000 miles is tempting, but it's still a 9 year old vehicle and I could end up needing...

A question to the forum: I am the original owner of a 2004 4Runer, Sport, V8, 4 wheel Drive with 210,000 miles. The vehicle has been perfect needing only Oil, Tires, Brakes, and timing belt/Water pump. Perfect until recently, So far this year I've had to replace passenger side Catalytic...
