If you maintain the engine and drivetrain properly, it should run well beyond the wheels falling off, so if you do drive it until the wheels fall off, jack it up and put new wheels on it and keep on cruising!!!:reddance:

My 05 SE V8 is sitting at about 155k, picked her up February 2016 with 122k. She recently got a new suspension installed and had been dealer maintained her entire life. Here's to another 155k

My 2003 6 cylinder just hit 241k.
Started having misfiring in cylinder 6 a few days ago, pulled plugs, then came to realization that I have never changed the plugs since I got the truck at 68k miles in 2006.
Changed out the tranny lines about 30k ago as they had all rotted out and was pissing tranny fluid.. aside from that, havnet had to do much to her. Hoping to hit 500k.

194k on my 07 sport. Mostly a stock vehicle but has proven to be a rock solid piece of machinery.

My 06 SR5 V8 just crossed 150k this week. It's a clean truck, and everyone who doesn't keep track of the body style changes thinks it's a new vehicle.

140k+ here. Still in great shape.
2008 4Runner Limited V8 with RAS (still working just fine) and spacer lift, Shrockworks front bumper cuz I smacked into a guard rail during an April snow shower, and Bud Built skid plates cuz I hit a rock at speed on the highway.
About to cross 250,000 miles - if I haven't already.
Big problems?
Sunroof grinding noise when trying to fully open...
Even the driver seat is in great condition (no noticeable wear nor tears).
I did remove the X-REAS when I put in the OME springs and shocks...

Checking in with my 03 V8 4wd. 301k miles.
It was a one owner vehicle to 270k and I got it from the second owner at 300k. I haven't checked with the local dealer to get all of the service records. It had a timing belt at 270k. So far I've done:
Valve cover gaskets. Pretty sure they were original, they had shrank so much the valve cover bolts could be loosened by hand.
Lower radiator hose was swollen and leaked at the radiator outlet.
Replaced All fluids because unknown mileage on them. Front diff drain plug was seized.
One broken wheel stud on rear
The CV boots are dry and cracking but have not busted yet, unsure if original, I'd imagine they were replaced at some point.
Has the dreaded transfer case actuator leak but it's not terrible, just a drip every couple days. currently trying the blue devil stop leak, will probably just live with it until I have time to fix it properly.
AC works great all original
transmission shifts better than my 2013 Tahoe. All original. Low range and DAC work fine.
Getting 17-18mpg with a mix of 80mph highway/city driving.

Make sure you empty the blue devil stop leak and put fresh fluid in there once the leak has stopped, because the blue devil isn't meant to stay in there forever. because in the future, it can leak worse than before . reason being is that the oil stop leak is probably overworking the gaskets and making them expand more than you need. then it will leak like crazy.
I know because it happened to me, once i put fresh fluid in there, it stopped.
I just hit 200k a month ago. so your changes is helpful once i get down the road to 300k. thanks.
I have a 2006 Sport V6 with over 250,000 miles on it. I think I'm the second owner, and I bought it at over 200k. I've had it about a year and I was super stressed about the miles, so I had an inspector come out and check it out. He couldn't find anything real wrong with it, so we're good to go. I sent an oil sample in to Blackstone Labs a few months ago just to see if there was something I needed to be aware of, and sure enough the thing came back in spec.
I'm starting to play with it a bit more now. Next is lift and then we'll see where we go from there.

Yeah it's coming out after a Couple hundred miles.. I just mixed it with some cheap Walmart gear oil. How long did it take yours to do that?
