How many miles on your 4runner?

Just bought a 99 SR5 with 396k miles on it. Powertrain is solid and frame is rust free. Some minor leaks here and there to address but nothing major.

I got it for a song from a dealer that took it in on a trade and was sending it to auction later that week. Can't wait to get it fixed up and to 400k
 
1997 Limited with 187K. Original owner was my mom. She recently upgraded to a NX so I'm the lucky guy that now gets to take her. She's been with the family since 1996 when we first picked her up from Toyota, Arlington TX, with 12 miles.

I remember going to the drive-ins when I was younger and watching in the back. I'd like to eventually do the same when I have my own kids.

She's a pavement pounder that get's 23mpg. The only thing I've done to her at this point is a complete suspension refresh and a set of fresh A/Ts.
 
I have 2 2001 the wife's has SR5 251,468 mine a 2001 sport 240,325 hers has a JDM I put in last summer I rebuilt the engine in mine in January it run's great. If you need machine work done in the San Diego area go to Paradise Motor Sports in San Marco's CA. It is a classic VW place with a great Machine shop. Pic's to follow
 
My wife's ride 1996 2WD that I will be taking over and sitting currently at 280K!

Well here supposedly was to change the timing belt, water pump, thermostat and all that. But I got carried away and pulled the engine out. Doing all the engine build myself and taking it slowly to get everything perfectly put together. I can't wait for her to run again! Anyhow stay tune for more updates.

I'm not 100 percent sure how many miles are on my 99 I'm building but the oil change sticker from 2016 says 288k. We also have an 01 with 345k and another 01 4wd with 410k. Can't kill them if you take care of them!
 
I bought a wrecked 2001 4x4 with 204k mi on it. The passenger side is completely totaled. Previous owner hit black ice and went sideways into a ditch and it rolled on its side. Even the shell in the back is pushed in to the point where the rear door wont close properly. The day i bought it i drove it for 7 hrs home with zero problems. Im a believer. Only payed $800 for it :)
 
Okay, after this story we need a couple pix. :D

I just picked up a 1998 4x4 with 206k. Runs and shifts great, it has a little anti freeze drip but the body is straight, frame has no rust. It's an sr5 with a sunroof, paid $3500.
 
This Frankenstein just hit 300K on motor with paired cluster, 357K on chassis, 175K on 5spd gear box.

Picked up my 96 t4r about two weeks ago now, 208k. Needs some tinkering here and there, most notibly valve cover gaskets and I dont know when the timing belt was done last. Very light surface rust here and there on the frame, body has the typical rear bumper rust and rear 1/4's. Definitely not bad for NY though. Paid 2k. The guy spent more than that a year ago on shocks/struts, and pretty much everything front end suspension other than upper ball joints.
