Hang with Sam "bigoldbeef" as he talks about his legendary 3rd gen that is getting closer to a half million miles every day!
🚨 Finally on IG! : @teamoildrop
Drop any questions below!
WOW, dude, original clutch, original water pump, original starter, original alternator.. all good to hear.
Never mind,,,,alternator went out at 285,000miles
Thanks Sam, stories like this get me through the monthly payments 😂
Glad you like them! They certainly do.
Greg
Omg I think the same. 😂
Awsome truck man , I got 123k on my TRD sport 4x4 manual with zero problems 👌
Thanks for sharing Sam, love hearing about Tacoma longevity. Your story proves proper care even with heavy use is the key to a long driving history. Thanks again. Proud 2021 TRD Off Road owner.
Thank you and Sam what an awesome truck! Hope to get as much luck with my Taco as that has for him! I got a 2nd gen and hope to get somewhere near that range one day! Great video and content on this channel as well!
Thank you for the words! 🍻
And my brother in law basically called me a MORON for buying a used 3rd gen Tacoma.with 26k miles from Enterprise Car Sales. I have 60k of daily and weekend warrior fun miles on it and that 6 cylinder engine still purrs like a baby kitten every morning I fire it up…It’s paid off and now I got 310k miles to go!
Thanks for sharing
Greg
thanks to your video and Sam. i have been waitining for this miment for some time. wow. what a beast.
My pleasure! It’s all thanks to Sam 🍻
It’s sad how American trucks just don’t hold up like they used to. Not just with regular maintenance. Usually needing a major repair along the way.
Ford, Chevy need to get back to these type of builds.
I agree for sure
Greg the Editor
Love seeing this type of content!
Many agree with you. I've watched it twice
Greg the Editor
Pretty incredible. Love my 2020 TRD OR, only 33k on mine so far, just changed my diff fluids, transfer case, and transmission fluid (drain/fill) thanks to your videos. 🇺🇸
She’s brand new!!! 😮 🍻
Just saw your vid on fb, encouraging to watch! I’ve got 140 on my 17 same color as yours. Just subbed!
Wonderful
Greg the Editor
Thank you Sam, that's a very nice tan tacoma.
When did you or did you change the spark plugs and dis you try a new coil pack on the cylinder that is showing the misfire? Nice video, sir. Thank you for sharing.
One word , WOW !! Great truck !!
Right??
You need to snag a 2023 before they are all gone. I just got a 2023 limited with upgraded tires for 38k. Those 24’s with the 4 cylinder turbos may not last towing a lot like you do. Just a thought.
He’s already got himself a second 3rd gen!
Love Tacoma content like this!
Badass truck dude and a hard-working man at that! Keep up the good work bro hopefully Toyota hears about this and will reimburse you for the other truck you purchased and take this one off your hands! It's not a million miles but for what it's done in the way it's worked for him I would say it's about the same thing 400K hard miles
Nice. I have 93,000 on my 2020 TRDSport. I do all my own maintenance. Oil changes every 5K with Kirkland oil. Looking forward to 1 million miles. Also, looking forward to the maintenance map.
🍻 love to hear! Enjoy! And I ran Kirkland for a long time as well
That's awesome 😊
What size wheels are they?
Thanks for sharing 👍
Take care
Thanks for the video Sam. If you said anything about spark plugs, I missed it. What mileages did you replace them? Love my TOD Mug!
They were changed at 150k & 300k
I wish you guys had a video for the manual transmission oil change. I just appreciate your videos
I'll forward your request. Tacoma World does have a few discussions about this. Its actually quite a bit easier than servicing the automatic
Thanks
Greg the Editor
Hay, Sam have you cleaned out the Throttle body and map sensor lately. It's nice to see that the FKS can hit that high millage with all the plastic coolant lines. Thanks' for sharing your trucks story!!
I’ve cleaned the maf sensor once around 300k. Never touched throttle body.
@@endurocox5467might help with rougher idle
Great video & well done for keeping it in tip top shape. Love seeing a heavily used truck instead of a mall crawler. Who makes that front bumper? Couldn’t find anything similar to it…
I’ve been looking for that bumper
C4 fabrication, I believe it’s discontinued
so cool ! i have only 36k i put on mines !! long life ahead i love Toyota
Same here!
We are a two Toyota family!
Thanks
Greg the Editor
What bumper is that?! I love it!
Im gonna go against the grain and say that its impressive but Im not surprised. Its AGE that kills vehicles not solely mileage. Now add the years and miles together and you have something to be in awe of. Either way its nice to see that the 3.5 can go the distance.
@@peterdaniel66 and that’s why we are all here, to love and maintain these wonderful trucks 😎
It's nice to see though cause the 2nd gens and their 4.0v6 thought these 3.5 dogs wouldn't last. I dont like the 3.5 but knew it was reliable, which is what I want at this point.
Got my name featured nice. I’ll enjoy the merchandise once it’s received!
🍻 love it
That was a nice kick. Me too
@@bigED1013 only cuz I appreciate y’all 💥
Im a truck expert. Does anyone in there right mind think the 24 will ever see this? It wont. I promise.
Maybe in a few years
Isn't the same setup in the Highlander? Check the forums. Lots of complaints
The turbos make the engine use higher RPMs so probably won’t last as long. Just my 2 cents
Everything about a turbo on a gas engine is detrimental except for the power increase.
Greg the Editor
The turbo engine comes with a commercial grade turbo according to Toyota. I would change the oil every 3k at the most.
nice, I go everywhere in my 2021 sr5 4x4 tacoma at 60000 miles
Those miles add up fast!
I have the same manual as well, did you do the accumulator delete? I am impressed original clutch.
Still have accumulator
Would he be able to do a video on his work setup? whats in his toolboxes and packout etc. Im in a similar industry but down in Australia.
I think he may go in depth a bit more in another video he posted a while back on UA-cam. If you look up “endurocox” or high mileage Tacoma you may find it easily
I hope my automatic lasts this long. I am getting the Overland torque tune tomorrow to fix the powerband and excessive shifting.
You’re going to love it, let us know!
@@teamoildrop Yeah its way better. Especially on the interstate. I was actually able to cruise up a steep incline holding 85mph in 6th gear. No more wonky unpredictable shifting. Thank god! 🙌 it was an hour drive there so I really got to feel how obnoxious it was before the switch.
@@270eman welcome aboard! Love to hear it.
Awesome truck nice review. 18,500 gallons @3.5 = $65,000 in gas cost of doing business in long lasting vehicle!
And likely a good bit more due to towing and loads
Awesome truck I was wondering If or when was the clutch and break fluid changed ?
Stock clutch, original brake fluid.
@@endurocox5467Thank You Sir
My ‘19 Off Road has been great so far. Just took it in for state inspection, and independent mechanic (therefore I believe him) told me my power steering rack is leaking on the passenger side (fluid actually went down from hot/full to cold full line in 30 days). I only have less than 80,000 miles.
My 2016 needed its rack replaced at 85k miles. My truck is lifted which seems to wear them out faster
@@Flyleafrocksfan hmmm, makes sense, mine is stock suspension but with aftermarket wheels and KO2’s. The heavy tires might have played a role in this.
They do often leak. It doesn't not seem to be commensurate with lifts though.
The Editor
Wow I'm impressed by all the original parts list! What year is it? I run a 17 OR MT as well, same color, 77k miles. Lately I started to have random intermittent hard and/or no start issues for a couple of tries. I don't have any check engine code, and it always cranks strong and runs perfectly once it starts so not the battery/starter/alternator, and it never hesitates, so I doubt it is the fuel pump. I haven't been trying that long enough yet to confirm it's the pump, but it hasn't happened since I leave the key at "on" and wait to hear the fuel pump finish its priming before starting. I'm gonna check for spark next time it happens.
Can't wait to see your truck hit 621k miles because that'll be 1M kms for us beavers ;)
Have you changed spark plugs?
Greg the Editor
@@teamoildrop yes I did at around 55k miles..
Unbelieveable!!!
It really is amazing!
Greg the Editor
With a truck like this, when you hit a certain point is it best to rebuild the engine or just have an all new/used engine put in it?
So many variables brother. If it’s running great I’d let it continue to do so until the end.
I hope it makes it to 1 million lol @@teamoildrop
My rear main seal started to leak at 110k. Hopefully, the new one will last a whole lot longer. Rack and pinion bearing on driver's side had oil in the dust cover.
Only 126k on my 2017, going to go 500k.
110k is a bit early for a rear main. How bad was it?
Greg the Editor
@@teamoildrop Not sure how bad or what is considered bad. Wife spotted oil splatter, not pools of oil, in the garage and phoned me.
My neighbor had all those things done to his truck too, but he only has 100K on it, plus it's a Ford. Just kidding, enjoyed this video. Take care.
😂 🍻
SUBSCRIBED 👍
🍻
Some things to help are, 1. get some out catch cans for your crankcase vacuum fumes and oil. 2. Put a can of 505 crf in your gas tank.
Gorgeous truck.
Thanks for the tips!
Greg the Editor
Should look into 5w30. This engine uses it everywhere else in the world its just US standards making toyota recommend it here
I mean... It went nearly 400k on 0w20. Why change it now? Honest question.
Please turn the background music off when the guest speaks. Intro it sounds great.
Will definitely look into. I always want the audio crisp
@@teamoildrop no I mean when Sam starts talking the background music should be off so we can hear him better. It was distracting that’s what I meant.
@@jaymoar3561 gotcha!
That V6 is bulletproof. I will love to see that turbo crap 4th gen engine last even a fraction of this much.
Only time will tell!
Will You get un other Tacoma ?
He said he has another one at home for when this one dies.
Different wheels from your first video or am I tripping? 😅
I put bronze ones on my 22
Let’s go 👏👏
Would you ever consider doing a maintenance mat for the 3rd gen tundras ?
remove music i beg
@@jaybab5966 welcome to the channel brother
I think any car that's taken care of can reach this. My 2012 Subaru STI is 131,000 miles on it's original everything still and not one single problem. And subarus are notorious for blowing up but I say it's the driver.
Yes, we completely agree
Greg
I literally commented last night on his video we needed a follow up video. Still kicking the org clutch 🫡
Beefs truck is a legend
