Meh.

My '91 passed that milestone 6 years ago. Driving back from Alaska after getting laid off when my employer went under. This was about 3 miles from home, at 2AM. I stopped in the middle of the highway and snapped some pics...

200K.

Now the truck has a 2LT-E and some slightly oxidized paint on the roof, but other than that it looks as good as when I bought it (at least when it gets its twice yearly wash and wax).

I'm glad everyday that I don't have a back seat, the standard cab is all I need 99% of the time, and it's silly to haul around the extra steel for that 1% of the time I might want to pack stuff back there.

Mine just turned 200K today also, it was 200,020 when I noticed it. It is an extra cab which comes in handy for me - hunting, fishing, camping, etc. with my two boys.

Too bad Toyota stopped their "High Miler Club" - used to be able to sign in and get a free license plate frame, sticker and t-shirt for 100k, 200k, 300k, etc.

I have them, but it's a 200k... I should have fibbed and said 300k cause I was only about 5k away when I signed up.... The Caird is at 312k now

Not original drivetrain though... it's been molested some.... Hehe

I didn't have to do the 3vze headgasket's until over 100k, where's my t-shirt for that!

Least they could do since they claimed (when I asked about it at 77k) that b/c it was built after June '95 that it would be fine and wasn't part of the recall.
