I have a 1998 4runner, 5spd, 4 cyl. I've had it since 1998 so I know the maintenance that's gone into it. I've never had anything catastrophic happen -- i've been on top of all fluid changes like clockwork, and replaced the belts twice now. I had to change a starter and grease the zerks a few years ago -- nothing else. I have about 160K miles on it.
I have two questions for the experts here:
1) Is there any maintenance I need to do now to prevent a possible catastrophe to the car when I move? Like water pump or something? Everything is working fine..
2) given that I'm going from a very rural part of the country (rural Colorado) with long roads and very little stop and go, to a very stop-and-go part of the country, would you seriously consider selling your 4runner for a newer generation model that's more reliable?
thanks all
