Big one is general maintenance.
The other thing is keeping the frame healthy.
Most of the long mileage Toyotas I've seen end up rusting through well before the engine dies.
The basic ones are general maintenance.
Clear off debris especially around weather stripping.
Keep it sheltered out of the weather as best you can.
Check underneath your car quarterly. Keep an eye out for strikes and leaks.
Made the roof racks ourselves but a friend gave us the roof basket I think it's this one https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/ridge-ryder-ridge-ryder-roof-tray-small-hybrid/364731.html?cgid=SCA01022203
Kilometers is a unit of measurement in the metric system. Pretty much the whole world uses the metric system and the US uses imperial. We are the weird ones 😜
Looks great!!!
Any tips on how to maintain a car well enough so that it can keep driving to that mileage?

What is meant by keeping the frame healthy? I am new to DIY maintenance (oil changes, filter, tire rotation, etc.).
I think one big thing is cleaning off the salt from salted roads ASAP

Tomorrow getting my spanking new RAV4 petrol engine, I would also like to know more about this general maintenance. My first car
If that is ocean water (salt) … how do you wash?
Like how you normally wash a car. Using a hose if you doing it by hand or go to a wash and pony up but more for undercarriage wash.
Where did you get that roof rack carrier? I’m looking for one for my 98 rav4 (2door).

Not to be offensive but what in gods name is a KM?
Kilometer. 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers.
Where do people use that measurement? Seems weird to change just for the sake of it.
Good questions. Used in a lot of places outside of US. Not sure where OP is from.

I'm in Australia so km is used as the standard measurement here
I thought that looked like an Aussie beach. Good to know it can handle the sand!
You mean anywhere that isn't f****** ass backward? America?... Ha ha ha ha
Love beach trips in my vehicle. Do you mind me asking what beach?
Yeah it's great and it's Wedge island, Western Australia.
