I ended up giving it to a fella who needed a vehicle. I'm glad it went to a good home. 727,000+ miles of which I put on 626,000+ miles. It hauled a lot of beavers the past 21 years. It served me well.

Looking at that truck, would never guess it had that many miles on it.


My doctor suggested I start doing squats, so I moved all the beer to the bottom shelf of my fridge.

Good for you to pass it on. I only owned Toyota for many years in the US. My wife's favorite was a FourRunner and after two small trucks I bought a T-100 which was a great truck. Incredible resale value and few problems. Never wanted a Tundra for some reason. Maybe things have changed, I don't know.

I'm sure he is a happy man.

That’s a lot of miles Paul. Pretty cool and that truck served you well.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

He puts less than 10,000 miles a year on a vehicle, and he's about my age. i doubt he will do the million miles.

That truck looks like it’s still in great shape! Do vehicles rust down there at all?

We get about 10 years and then the rust starts showing up. All downhill from there!

Good for you ! I always do the same thing with my old vehicles, but none of them ever look that good.

No telling how many conventions that truck travelled to, or how many pounds of beaver it hauled.

Impressive longevity record.

Dang, I was hoping to see how much you could get someone to pay for it, but "priceless" is pretty good too.

Truck looks in great shape Paul.I bet you maintained it regular.

Maybe left some beaver seed in it and he will get the bug to keep her in action.
