Been a member for a few years now, but never really posted any pics of my Runner. Cleaned it up this past weekend so I figured it was good time to snap a few and share. Also wanted to thank everyone who contributes on this forum - it's awesome.
1999 Limited 4WD
Automatic
Desert Dune
355,478 miles on original engine and transmission
I bought it in late 2001 with 85,000 miles and it has been my daily driver ever since. Blew a head gasket at around 315k, but my mechanic fixed it and it has been running great ever since. Never left me stranded, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to get in and drive it anywhere in the country. Just recently replaced the original radiator - guess I got lucky, no milkshake.
All original paint except for the front bumper - it was looking pretty rough from all the bug/rock hits over the years so I had it painted last year. I have also painted the cowl, front wiper arms, rear air deflector, license plate surround, bumper cover and hitch, and am in the process of painting over all the horrible fake wood grain trim on the interior.
Only off-roading it sees is the occasional forest service road when I'm on a mountain biking or hiking adventure. Best vehicle I've ever owned by far, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
