How many miles does everyone have?
#727
I 'inherited' this one from my Dad. It was his primary vehicle for nearly 18 years, but between him and myself it's had it's fair share of 1-year breaks in driving.
It's not my primary vehicle, but I sure do love it. Sometimes I catch myself extending projects on the other truck as an excuse to keep driving the 4Runner daily .
And I lied. I thought she was turning 179k yesterday, but she actually turned 178k yesterday on my way to work and now is sitting at 178,042 .

Cool hand me down, bud! Enjoy it! Speaking of hands.... I must treat mine right now, as I got a nice steam burn just 10 minutes ago! DANG, it's worse then putting them in boiling water for a second! lol.(Yes, I can do that... I've gotten used to it, haha.) However, STEAM?>> HEEEEECK no! Instant 'OUCH', hahaha. Ok, sorry for the tangent...off to an icebath! lol.

I hear ya! I can handle hot liquids pretty ok (I was a lube-tech at a quickie lube joint for about 4 years. Hot oil'll get you!), not sure about steam though. I've got a couple nice skinned up sections on my fingers now from my CB install in the SD.

My 1980 Benz diesel had nearly 500k before I sold it. I miss that car.
I haven't heard Ghost turds since boot camp. Brings back painful memories.

OORAH, FADEDSUN! Thank you, so much, for your service. Yeah, I can relate on the 'painful memories', hahaha. I actually broke my back right after completion.... Friendly prank gone bad, lol... Oh well, everything happens for a reason, so they say, lol.
And hey, you asked for the pic, you get the pic! lol.
Take care, K.A. and be safe, Sir, ...

Just found out I have a 9.8% difference in my 31x10.5R15's over the factory tires (who'd have guessed Toyota originally put 225/75R15's on there! I was trying to find my axle code, haha).
So I guess that puts me at ~195,512 after some math? I'm pretty sure this truck has had 31's it's whole life.
