How many miles on your 4runner?
- Thread starter BrianDavid
- Start date
Bought a 2001 SR5 4X4 to teach my kids how to drive (and hopefully to keep/modify) at 115k miles about 6 years ago. My oldest claimed it as his own and has been driving it ever since. It's up to 175k miles now and healthy as a horse. We do need to figure out how to diagnose his 4wd system though. Is there a thread I can review (apologies if I shouldn't ask questions here, new to the forum, this is my 1st post).

Here's many search results for 4WD issues, only check out the ones for 3rd Gens and ignore any for 4th or 5th Gens.

How many miles?
98 4Runner, 3.4Ltr, 5 speed, rear locker has 312K on it...it is my daily driver...uses about 1/4 quart between oil changes usually at 7000-7500 miles on 5W-30 Castrol Synthetic
Recently, in last year have installed new Coastal Off Road front and rear bumpers with a swing-away rear tire carrier that made room for a Long Range America 29 Gallon Aux fuel tank
It is really nice to have almost 800 miles of range when highway traveling

Miles to go before she sleeps!
Bought my 05 SR5 4.0L about 3 or 4 months ago for $550 from a friend who upgraded & thought it had head gasket problems that turned out to be just a new set of spark plugs!
At 207K & looking to dial it in with a few minor upgrades once i see whats available for it that will wake her up a bit while keeping her California legal as I plan to pass this on to grand kids.

Just picked up a 2004 4Runner SR5 4x4 with 255,000 miles. It runs great—very similar to my 2007 Supercharged FJ Cruiser.
So far, I’ve completed the following maintenance:
Replaced valve cover gaskets
Installed a new water pump
Changed front and rear differential fluids and transfer case fluid
Replaced front wheel bearings after noticing some grinding
Next on the list is a transmission fluid flush, followed by a full suspension refresh, focusing on replacing all suspension bushings with the goal of driving it another 200,000 miles.
These trucks really prove how well Toyota builds them when maintenance stays ahead of wear items.
