Hi all,
I am new to this forum and have enjoyed reading the various posts regarding other's cruisers.
I own a 1997 Collectors Edition and it is about to pass the 100,000 mile barrier. I love this car and hope to keep it for many, many, more years. IMHO it is the the best SUV ever made and I want to keep it in top condition. In that regard I have a few questions as I am not mechanically inclined.
Are there certain things that I should start lookiing at maintaining/replacing such as springs or shocks?
What starts to wear out at 100K miles that i should look at as far as preventative maintenance goes?
Any other major components that I should look to take care of before they break or wear out (i.e. engine, drivetrain, suspension related items etc.)?
Do KN air filters improve performance, hosrepower etc. and does anybody recommend them?
The only problems I have ever experienced have been minor such as O2 sensors, clogged fuel injector, etc. That is pretty amazing considering the mileage I have put on the beast.
Anyhow, I hope this is not too many questions but I love this car and want to keep it running good, but do not have full faith in my local Toyota dealership to give me the straight scoop.
Thanks again.
