    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    8007M (2003 SR5 V6 4WD) was at 603,000 back in 2016. No word from him since. I'm maybe next. I'm at 554,143 on my 2003 SR5 V6 4WD. randy88fj62 (2008 SE V8) was at 526,000 in June 2022 and may have passed me since then.

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    I think that's the highest V8 I've seen. In other news, my 2003 SR5 V6 4WD is at 538,537. It hasn't seen many miles in the era of COVID, so only up about 25k in the last 2 years. Updates since my last post: Alternator (3rd). Had the time to get a quality Denso reman this time Rear window...

    What say you, driver? What's the mileage count? 8007M is the only one I've seen here that is above my 500k+ and he was at 600k+ years ago.

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    Which splash shields did you use and what did you think of them? Can you point me to a link? Mine have been gone for at least 250k miles, and it's been vaguely on my todo list for a while.

    At what mileage did you change your v6 timing chain?

    I'm at 513,535 miles, and I still have the original chain. Also, not that this suddenly on oil change thread but I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance and change every 15k+.

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    Hey sorry for not responding. I thought I'd subscribed to this thread but I guess not. Yes, this has been my primary daily driver. For about 8 years of that, I was commuting about 150 miles round trip daily with substantial local driving on top of that. I actually did have a wheel bearing go...

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    Rolled 300k Today I was looking forward to claiming the first 300k 4th Gen and here I come and find a 400k+! BAH! Also on our 4th set of tires. Previous sets made it about 50k, 75k, and 160k. Brake pads changed at 75k, 150k 275kish Front rotors changed at 150k and are due now, whenever I get...

    Both cigarette lighter in the front and back doesn't work

    It's happening because the charger is pulling too much power for that circuit and the fuse is doing exactly what it should-- breaking the circuit by burning out. Even though this thread is long since answered (thanks for the answer! I was "tricked" by the CIG fuse and didn't bother to pull the...

    Highest Mileage 4th Gen?

    Just an FYI folks, we rolled 290k on our 2003 4Runner SR5 4WD earlier this week. No major mechanical issues and our poor barely maintained 4Runner hasn't seen the inside of a shop since 150k (and before that, 75k). I do expendables like fluids and brakes myself. On 4th set of tires I think...

    You've been recalled (Gas pedal modification by the dealer)

    Yeah my stock mats have seen 8 hard years and 260,000 miles of use. I could really use some free mats of ANY kind.

    Pulsing feeling during braking

    Whew DocMT, thank you for restoring some sense to a dangerously wandering accumulation of myth. Here's an article from the folks at stoptech regarding the brake rotor warping myth: StopTech : Balanced Brake Upgrades

    over 231k :)

    There are a lot of reports of stuck calipers (usually front) from winter-weather driving T4R 4G drivers. That's definitely one of the most common complaints. The other major complaint of winter drivers are the CVs causing problems in the 100k range. But the 4 rotors @ 50K sounds more like a...
