I keep falling for the trap of thinking 400,000 kms isnt really that much... and then I remember miles.

A 2UZ should not consume oil - really ever. How are the exhaust manifolds holding up?Not a 100 series but my brother’s 4.7 4runner . Purrs like new too and valve cover gaskets starting to leak, consume maybe 1qt of oil between 5K mile oil changes View attachment 3231851

What's up with those dash lights? I have the same......
Bro I thought I was dusty.....
Yeah man this 100 series was picked up with the fender damage. I fix the fender. Was going to restore it. Yada yada yada and hail damage and it was totaled. So now I just drive the crap out of it and practically live out of it. I live on a dirt road too so that doesn't helpBro I thought I was dusty.....
And the D bulb still works!View attachment 3278515
Crossed 280k heading to badlands off-road park.

Speaking of a '99, is this the end of mine at 457K? 1st time it's ever needed a rescue.Damn! Just ran to the store for some soda and my tranny blew!
How did I not see that coming? It's such a known issue, after all.

Shoulda bought a 98 or 99...they are so much better!
(Kidding...)

How many timing belts? Cracked exhaust manifolds?Happy ending, truck is fine. Nothing more than a fan/accessory belt that broke as a result of a pully bearing finally failing at 457K. That was a first, wife was driving so her fault.
I've reported on this (bought new) amazing '99 Landcruiser before but now 457K and still runs perfectly. No motor work ever besides maint and wear stuff (alternator, radiator, AC parts, coils, rotors, CV/Axles, worn steering wheel and shift knob), but the valve covers have never been off, zero transmission, diff, rear locking diff, or transfer case work for anything. It tows a 20' salt water fishing boat often, and no rust from launching. The original radio antenna still powers up and down....
Extras include only ARB/OME lift and nice shocks, LEDs all around, better tunes, drilled/slotted rotors (don't warp like factory), and K&N filter since new. Not a drop of oil used in between changes, 14mpg no matter what.
Needs include only to replace the front seat leather which I'll do next.
