    The Toyota actually has a few thousand less than 258k. I swapped in a gauge cluster from an SR5 so I could have a tach and full gauges. I planned on waiting until the mileage matched exactly, but I got impatient with around 3k difference.

    The engine was rebuilt at around 205k because it needed a new head gasket.

    According to facebook they headed up Washington way to visit some family and do final adjustments, I believe they are wrapping things up and headed south now though!

    Brenton and Shannon stayed with us in San Diego for a few days and crossed the border on Tuesday morning headed to Ensenada.
    They seemed very excited and ready to get on the road. We were privileged to spend a few days with them just before they left.
    Good luck and safe travels!
