Has she passed that 500k mile mark yet?I'm interested in ideas to celebrate 500K.
At 398k now, 13 years later97 LX with 230k and all my miles.
Probably one of the few who can honestly claim 400k behind the wheel of an 80 themself. Have you ever been stranded? Has anything surprised you? If you could go back in time, would you do anything differently with your truck to make those miles easier?At 398k now, 13 years later
Broken rear wheel studs after hitting a hydraulic Jack in the frwy was a major pain but it help create a new product.Probably one of the few who can honestly claim 400k behind the wheel of an 80 themself.

So you’ve never had the bottom end apart?Broken rear wheel studs after hitting a hydraulic Jack in the frwy was a major pain but it help create a new product.
PHH blew and I had to get towed for that cuz I was too far away to easily work on it myself.
Headgasket blew at 290 whatever k and Bar’s rescued my ass. Had two radiators blow but the RD has taken care of that problem permanently.
I’d say if I had to do it all over I’d be as anal about maintenance as I am now. Back then I was out of the country a LOT on assignments so I wasn’t great at staying on top of thing ls.
Looking back I should never have wasted my time/money on anything but Toyota brake components. I never should have suffered with BFG garbage.
I like the turbo engine 100x better than this SC one but again, it’s fostered tons of product devs and it’s hard to regret that. I have both the SC and turbo now so I can choose as I please.
I *think* my last regret is not getting a third dedicated trail 80. One I didn’t care beating up.
Mine is now over 688 k km's on original 1hz motor so not bad for a 3/1992 build base model 80.
What's going to kill the vehicle is the body rust as it won't get better and eventually I'll have to make a decision to stop spending money on trying to keep it going.
