How many of those miles on the odometer are of your doing? How has the vehicle treated you during that time?

Mine's on 302,000 glorious, non-original miles. 9,000 of those are thanks to me. Which means I've driven this vehicle for 3% of its life. No problems yet, but i can feel them coming.... :(

Mine is just under 240k, I bought it with 198k. Only thing I have done is a timing chain besides normal maintenance. HAvent had one problem since I have bought it.
 
The families 1990 4runner has about 95k original on it. It has been in the same family since new. The truck has treated us quite well. There are few systems I have not gone through and rebuilt(fuel, cooling systems, suspension, etc..). Frankly, I think it drives and runs better now, then when it was new. The inside of the motor looks like day one(on syn oil), so, I suspect it will go at least another 100k. My project for this month will be installing a new O2 sensor on it.
regards

I've put near 80,000 on mine.
 
Mine has 205k tranny died at 195k and HG at around 190k. The tranny was my fault I cooked it. Motor still runs really strong though!

About 40,000 of those are mine. I bought the truck for 1400 its an 3.0 93 automatic
 
probably less than 1k miles. I need to check. About ready to do an oil change though to get rid of the assembly crap I used in the engine.
 
1988 4runner purchased with 282000 miles; complete with knocking, original 3vz. Replaced it with a 1999 5vz engine with 72000 miles on it. OD now reads ~288,000 miles, so 6000 problem free miles.
 
I got it with 278,000 on New Years Day 2010, and it now has nearly 298,000. But I replaced the engine 10,000 ago because it was leaking and burning just about everything :( Gettin close to 300,000!
 
Purchased last year with 139000 original kms. Now has 160 kms on it. Lots of ski and camping trips. Runs like a friggin champ
 
I rebuilt my 22re as soon as I bought the 4runner. I have probably 10-15k on my new engine. Mostly problem free but a few issues with it being my first engine I have built. Still have an oil consumption issue to sort out though.
 
My odometer reads 243,000, but when I bought it I was told it was rebuilt at some point. I have evidence to support that, but no proof. Runs great and I ain't complaining.
 
Got my 89 on my 15th birthday with 200k (My birthday present was a $1000 loan from my parents). 220k now, 10k on rebuilt 22re
 
901 since May 18th 2012 when i bought it w/ 144,747 mi. I only drive it around town when i'm off, I commute 106 mi round trip to work so this would absolutely drain me in gas money if it was my DD..
 
way to steal my thunder....
how many miles have YOU put on your runner.:boxer:
266XXX on the ODO...only put about 1500 miles since ownership (4 months) :boink:
 
I've put 10,000 km's on mine since I bought it in June. Odometer reads 365,000 km now, still runs like a dream.

On a side note...I put over 140,000 km on my 89 V6 pickup in just over 6 years. Never had to do a damn thing to it except general maintenance. Unfortunately had to take her off the road just shy of 450,000 km's for reasons not at all related to anything mechanical, a shame too the motor still purred like a kitten...easily at least another 100,000+ still left in that motor.
 
I got mine as a demo with 15,000 km / 6,300 miles on it and it's now closing on 477,000 km so, 362,000 km or 225,000 miles are mine.
