[chetJ]

Been a while since I logged on here and posted anything. Was doing my summer cleaning and figured I would post. My 2011 T4R, Limited has 154000 miles and still going strong. Not a single issue! Love it!

Are you on the original shocks and control arms bushings?

Our 2008 Subaru Tribeca is now at 152,000. I don't call shocks replacement an issue but we replaced the factory ones at 145,000. I replaced the control arms just a little earlier (easier than just bushings).

Yes, still on the original shocks and control arms. Have only done the regular maintenance and changed the tires once. My mechanic has not recommended that change as yet.

Why did you get your changed? Was there an issue with the Subaru's shocks and control arms? Did you notice any changes that caused you to change them?

Looks great. What tires are you running now. We have a 2018 Limited as well as a 2019 SR5P. After my first tire rotation on the Limited, I'm starting to consider what tires I'll eventually buy to replace the factory Yokohamas.

Tires

Am using Michelin ms2 LTX I believe (can confirm tomorrow). These tires are bigger than the factory originals. But, the ride is great. I swapped my Yokohamas out at 60 K and put these on. The first four lasted until 153K (almost 90K). Just put these on (exact same ones as the ones that lasted 90K).

Clean! Looking forward to seeing how my 'Runner holds in Year 8/Year 9. Routine maintenance does make a significant difference. For me, its worth the small cost(s) upfront instead of dealing with something more sudden/costly down the road.

 

[pahaf91]

amazing. as long as you keep up the maintenance, should last you a long time. The car looks amazing. Did you ceramic coat it or do you wax it regularly?

 

[Drobs]

Time to add some modifications...

Couldn't agree more

I couldn't agree more. Doing the basic maintenance has definitely helped. BTW, love your trail 4R.

Regular detailing

There was a time when I used to wax it twice a year. That became hard with little kids. Nowadays, I get it professionally detailed once a year and the treatment seems to last for the whole year. The detailer uses high quality products. I then wash it regularly by hand.

 

[chetJ]

Totally agree

Time to add some modifications...

Agree! Have wanted to add mods, but time, money, and other priorities have gotten in the way constantly. At the very very least, I want to get rid of those running boards!!! With the kids- I dont see that happening though.:help:

1st and only T4R, bought new in 2005, 164,600 miles...Our 15 year anniversary together is coming up soon in Feb 2020. Planning to keep my 2005 for a minimum of 20 years. 2nd T4R...I'll buy new again and I'll keep that another 20 years, I'll be in my mid 40s or early 50s when I make another new T4R purchase and I'll keep that for 20 years. There is not another model/make vehicle that I will drive. I will live for the rest of my life, driving a T4R

Nice.

I hope, have confidence, my 4runner will have no issues also when it gets to that point. So far just short of five years owning, 50k miles on it.

Thanks. Are you running 275/55 20? Do you have any issues with rubbing? I'm considering going with this size when we put on new tires, but very concerned about the tires rubbing. Seems like many experience this even with very minor increases in tire size.

Mag. Gray is a great color. I didn't consider it when I knew that I wanted a 4Runner but the dealership that I had purchased mine from had 3 2016 Trail leftovers that had made it all the way to Memorial Day weekend 2017. 2 of the were MGM and the other Classic Silver. Never been a fan of Silver so the Mag. Gray it was.

Do you change the oil at 10,000 miles or a shorter interval?

Have you changed the front/rear differential oil, transmission oil, or transfer case oil?
