The Quarter Million Club

[ratdude747]

If this already exists, forgive me, but it seems there is no Quarter Million Club, which is for people with vehicles (RBV's in this case) that have been kept running for a quarter million miles. I'm stealing this from another forum I'm a member of, AstroSafari (I used to drive a 1995 Chevy Astro, which I still maintain for my parents use).

I bring it up as I took a look at my Odometer, and:

Yup, 21 miles past a quarter million. Actually it's more like 350 miles past, as there are about 320 miles driven with a bad odometer worm gear (I was in the middle of a long trip I drive a lot, hence how I knew the mileage).

In 250K this truck has been through one motor and one tranny rebuild; the former was done before I traded for it (JY motor kinda sucks though), the latter was done right after I traded (done professionally, no issues whatsoever). The body is mostly in great shape and I plan to keep it as long as possible; my next vehicle will be an addition, not a replacement.

Anybody else clocked over 250K?

I am pushing 370k in my '93 2.3 5sp. I would include a pic of the odometer but it is only 5 digits.

My 1988 Ranger had 444,000+ km on the clock when I changed the dash. I know I have a shot of the numbers somewhere but can't find it. The 1996 dash that I swapped into the cab has $320,000+ km on it now...which roughly translates to $250,000 USD...

Oh, wait...I took a picture of the last gas bill that I got before the engine died and I always write the odometer reading on the bill so I can keep track of things in case the gas gauge goes wonkiy.

My 84 Bronco has 270k original miles on it's 2.8 and still going strong! Leaks oil from every seal though.

No pic of the odometer 5 digits anyway.

Over on FTE they have a how many miles discussion. As to my 94 320000+ miles and still running strong. 94 4.0, sc manual trans. Had more problems with the trans than anything else!

That's my 94 4x4 5spd with roughly 270,000 miles on it. Original engine and transmission. Transfer case was swapped to a manual years ago, rear axle was switched for better gearing and L/S, front third member was changed to match rear.

On its way back from the moon.

Original bearings, shocks, springs, rotors too. Once I find a replacement daily driver, he's getting stripped down to a bare frame and getting completely rebuilt
