My cruiser will be turning 100,000 soon! Its a big moment for both of us. I'm very excited to be here for her sweet 16. ;)

I will be in Big Bear the 19th thru the 21st and I'm hoping I be able to be on the trail when it happens.

How many of you had your cruisers for the big 6 digit turn? I know some of you guys are the original owners which is damn cool as well.
 
I was on my way to the Santa Rosa mountains when mine turned 205k. Kinda a big moment, but not really. I did take a picture though...

Congrats on your big moment. :clap:
 
i was kind of excited when traveling from SJC to stockton and the OD went from 144k to.........145K:D
 
Mine is currently at 99346 so I am almost right there with you. I should turn to the 6 digits in the next month or two.
 
Mine was already in the 6 digits when I bought it. I have turned over a few 4Runners though. It is fun. Hope yours happens on the trail, that would be cool.
 
Yeah, I was there. On the corner of Rosecrans and Sepulveda returning home from the airport from a long trip away. Just happened to have my camera, snapped it at the red light and moved on. I was too tired for a celebration.

Congrats on FINALLY making 6-digits on that clean rig.

Your gas guage reading is something we are ALL too familiar with! :bang:
 
I've seen all 189K of mine! hehehe :flipoff2: Given how few miles she sees any longer, it may be awhile before she sees 200K.
 
I had to wait for 150K to celebrate, I bought it with 125K. I tried to be on the trails but it happened the following Monday on my way home from work. Oh wait, I met up with friends and had a beer so I guess I toasted to her mileage. :cheers:

haha, thats exactly why I said it was the 'sweet 16' celebration. Lots and lots of life to live after 100k
 
I flipped a sweet 16 and a sweet 32 in mine and now at 215 plus.
I have a shot of the odo at 123456 and want to take another at 234567 and then 345678.

I should finally have it tuned up and built by then.
 
I Rolled right before my sweet 16 @ 99,951(or so). When did we finally celebrate? I rolled in November and hit 100K in April on the way down to Uncle Bob"s shop aka Bengels Offroad after a whole bunch of work, insurance bs, parts, blood, sweat, tears, love from the cruiser community and $$. BUT I"m a better man for it today!
 
Not to get off subject but..
Brad - Did the new radiator solve your overheating issue ? I hope so after all you went through over at the house on that VERY long PM day we had.
 
haha, yeah man, I think I'm good now. I just took it up to Big Bear for the weekend and didnt overheat on the long straight away that starts Highway 38. I overheated there before. It was hotter out before, but I still think I'm ok. Temp was reading a little bit high, but still a ways from red.

Thanks for asking dude!

By the way, missed turning the 100,000 mark on the trail by 150 miles....bummer. Did some fun little driving up there. Experienced my first off-camber. That is no joke, but fun. Having the lift makes a HUGE difference in tackling some pretty nasty looking stuff. Had a good time out there.
 
Cool. Glad to hear she is running cooler now. Ya, we played around Deep Creek and the Crab Flats area over the weekend and had a blast...The weather is getting nice a crisp up in Green Valley. So, when is the next PM day ? I really want to pull of the throttle body and clean it...How bad was it to do ?
