2004 SR5 V6, 117,777 (literally just hit today...). Only major problems were the front wheel bearings, but had my friend do them in shop (dirt/rough roads. Not a too common problem), both catalytic converters failed (still wondering why...), and I roasted the alternator screwing up fog lights.
Followed factory schedule since receiving car at 75,000. Was parents before, and mom did scheduled maintenance ($$$ since I didnt work on cars before). Always used SAE SN 10W-30 Full synthetic oil, 75W-90 Valvoline gear oil, and Toyota Coolant/Transmission fluid. Fixed CEL/MIL for cats by installing O2 sensor spacers. Working on JBA headers when I get back to shop and can weld.

Just bought this 4Runner 155,000
:zoom:I just bought this 4Runner. It has 155,000 on it. The person i bought it from drove about 120 miles round trip to work each day. She did a good job maintaining it but nothing above normal. Timing belt, water pump, brakes were replaced at about 130,000. It looks real clean and everything works good. I changed the oil over to Mobile 1 but I have not got to the other fluids yet. Probably put Royal Purple in the diffs.
I changed the cabin filter. I think it was original, some of the bugs looked pretty decomposed.
I am not sure about modifications I will do to it. Changing out the factory head unit will be first and soon. After I drive it a few months and it proves to be dependable it will get a lift of some kind, probably just a Daystar or some kind of leveling kit.
