Default 4 runner questions

I'm looking into getting a 91 toyota 4runner. The only thing is it has around 200k miles on it and im not fond of the life of toyota motors. what kinda problems will i run into with the motor and trans. will the front and rear diffs and transfer case go out on me soon?

any input would be great.


thanks,
jake

coming from an 05er also, wow thats really funny too bad jokes on join dates are played out. now, obviously you dont have any knowledge to put into this discusion so bye bye.

and what i ment was the motor has around 200k miles on it. I've never had a toyota so i dont know how long the motors last. i know with honda motors they can get into high milage like that easily and run fine. Now that's cleared up for those of us lacking common sense does anyone have any expeirence running a toyota motor with high milage and how long should i expect it to run.

thank you for an on topic post. i plan on flushing the trans, changing oil, making sure the fluids in the diffs is good and also in the transfer case. any other maintence that needs to be done i'll take care of since im making this my daily
