#95 of 100 Just joined by benchmaster435 Nov 04, 2009 (4:49 am)
Greetings all. Can't believe it took me so long to find this forum. I have a 1997 4runner that I purchased new. I'm the only owner and I've put all the miles on it, which currently is 340,000 miles and running strong. No engine or transmission work and just had the rear brake drums replaced this past weekend for the first time. I live in Ohio and the Winters are tough on cars, but this vehicle just keeps on trucking. Best I've ever owned. I'm hoping to keep it for another couple of years and then pass it on to my son who is currently in college. He wants it for hauling his kayak around the country. Anyone currently have a higher mileage 4runner on this forum? Thanks. J Replies to this message: tidester (Nov 04, 2009 11:19 am) benchmaster435 (Nov 05, 2009 5:15 am) point65 (Nov 04, 2009 1:42 pm)

Replying to: benchmaster435 (Nov 04, 2009 4:49 am) 340,000 miles and running strong   Wow! That works out to about 26,000 miles per year which is twice the average mileage of personal vehicles. You must have a long commute.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper Replies to this message: benchmaster435 (Nov 05, 2009 5:15 am)

Replying to: benchmaster435 (Nov 04, 2009 4:49 am) Yeah, I got 340,001 miles on mine! Nah, just kiddin'. I only have 153K and counting. But now I have an idea how far I can go. I bought it because we had a baby coming, and last week I told her it'd be the car she takes to college with her since it's running so great and I don't need to get her anything new as long as this one was still going. How cool is that?   Keep on pressing yours on down the road.

Replying to: tidester (Nov 04, 2009 11:19 am) Your right, I do have a long commute, about 72 miles a day. I've also taken it across the country twice - from Ohio to Taos New Mexico, South Dakota, Colorado, etc., Been the most reliable car I've ever owned. I just had a tune-up and all the fluids changed, rear brake drums replaced (first time) and emergency brake (all parts replaced). A small section of brake line and that's about it. Never had the engine or transmission cracked open, replaced two starter motors, two lifetime batteries, I'm on my 6th set of tires though, even though I've kept alignment up, it seems to chew tires up, I still have plenty of thread, but they cup badly. Oh well, small price to pay. I plan on keeping it until my youngest graduates college - in two years and then give it to him.
#100 of 100 97 4Runner break problem by mfaircloth Nov 11, 2009 (1:39 pm)
I have a 97 4Runner and when sitting overnite when it is cold the front breaks seem to stick in the morning when I put the vehicle in drive. If I back up the system seems to release and I can then go forward but the colder it is the harder it is to go forward. Any idea what the problem may be?
