96 w/140K
No important things. Did belts and distributor and plugs as PM around 100. Did birfields late at about 95 when clicking. Had the Egr code in the past 15k and fixed it. Replaced the starter with a rebuilt one after it stuck a llittle bit at around 92k. Have the old one and the contacts now to rebuild that one, which I need to get around to!

RUNS EXCELLENT
Also have a 97 LX450 with 106,000 and I honestly can not tell a difference between the two as far as how they drive
Both are very solid

My "Green Monster" at 151K with nothing repaired except for the roof and left bodywork, and a paint job. I didn't roll it, someone else did!
Ran to Crown King on the rough trails on Mothers' Day, and up to Vegas the next week. I run it hard and let God wash it. The truck is great!

1fz, 360k kilometers (225k miles)
Just pulled a 1hz diesel from a toyota bus with 730k kilometers on it (456k miles). What I thought was interesting is this motor is a 1hz-b, considered to be somewhat weaker than the older silver top 1hz's. It was still running, but compression was low.

HG done, birfs, PHH.. lots of pm by previous owner. Drove it 6000km last fall without issue. Doesnt seem to burn oil either.
As for leaks, if you look underneath everything is covered in oil but like bill said above no oil spots in the driveway. I figure its undercoating itself.

new coupling ,thermostat,radiator hose, new radiator
My body has 275,000+ miles, everything else 83,500mlies.

orig HG and clutch
new radiator at 255,000
new rear diff (3rd) at 260,000
otherwise just normal maintainance
Weird to see so many HG failures in USA, whereas in Oz an HG failure is a rarity, same with the PHH

The 1FZ you got in Oz is spec'ed differently than the ones we received here which might explain some things about HG failures on ours here.
Hypothesis 1: EGR valve placement at back of head pumping high heat to #6 cylinder area (most common failure point)
Hypothesis 2: You guys received different HG's with different material
Hypothesis 3: Poor maintenance from PO's.
Hypothesis 4: Oz trucks are way cooler than the mall queens we got here.
Mine: turned 213K last week. Lots of new things/rebuilt things/new top end/bottom end original/new HG @ 197K
