400,000 miles and gaining!

[drifter808]

driving my dads truck today i realized that i just hit 400,000 miles. that is pretty damn amazing. It is a 1980 toyota pickup longbed 4x4. it has the original engine and the only things we replaced were the clutch,waterpump,headers,exhaust, and a radiator. Considering we paid 100 bucks for it broken(clutch was bad) that truck is a damn good truck. its driven evryday too, more than 80 miles and it is driven really hard to, revving out in every gear. Anyone looking for a good daily driver, should try and find one of those. there pretty cheap nowadays.

22r good motors.. good maintenance goes a long way, i already have one..and sold it...

[ALTRNTV]

Damn. I thought your 240 just rolled over 400k miles when I read the title, lol.

[sblack13]

i remember that video online of the toyota truck on top gear. Seems like toyota makes some pretty durable trucks.

[infinitexsound]

they really do trust me.....i use to take my 86 pick up sliding..... that was fun...

[drifter808]

yeah this truck can drift, and it has the 20R engine with the 4 speed

[blackflag_Rms13]

My dad's '91 Toyota Pickup rolled 600k. I took a picture at 555,555 hehehe...

I swear, old Toyota's are bulletproof...

thats what i thought but that truck had a diesel engine i think

[breakindrifts]

^ Nah it was the 22R. 4 cyl gas.

[RJ motorsports]

any toyota with a 3tc or 20 engine will last

[Nizzan4u2nv]

Damn thats a shitload. I have 305k on my s14 and it still runs like a champ.

[DJPimpFlex]

I have a S13 I just bought with 260 and it runs like a champ as well.

[gotta240]

haha. 22r motors own all motors for durability.

22r > Any and all nissan motors


well, not for power of course....but longevity. I just took my old toyota on a 2500 mile trip to mexico....Took it like a champ!! but damn, driving 24 hrs each way in that wasn't the MOST fun ever!

[Ghettokracker71]

jesus christ 400,000. The oldest thing I've ridden in was my freinds first car:the 1988 plymouth voyager with 285k original motor/trans!

I couldnt imagine the wear and tear and shit that proble should be replaced on that thing hahahaha wow. to toyota :w00t:

Wow wtf? Sounds like a crazy trip..I'd be alseep at the wheel after like 6 or so hours haha.

[drifter808]

yeah it's not the fastest thing on the road thats for sure. i can get it up to about 60 on the flats but up hill its about 45-50 all the way. And the seat is really uncomfortable and there's no radio. but 400,000 miles and no major break downs proves how good these old engines are. Its kind of funny cause that is usually the vehicle that saves my ass when my car breaks which is every other month or so :)

[drifter808]

and im pretty sure the truck they had on top gear was a diesel. it had a"Hilux" emblem on the back which i think means it's diesel.

Yep I just rewatched it ...hilux deisel.

[gotta240]

haha. same here!

Its sad that i rely on my 1985 toyota truck for long trips and to save my ass when my MUCH NEWER nissan breaks down!!!!

[drifter808]

yeah its weird to have a truck with 400,000 + miles on it be more reliable than my 240 when ive only been able to race it once. I think we should all switch to old toyota trucks:)

haha. I know its slightly off-topic but I just went to the beach and back(3 hours round trip) and a buddy of mines 2001 Jetta broke down about 3 times on the trip,we had to keep rigging it to make it...Damn toyota woulda taken the trip like a champ
