Yep, actually 1,200,000 miles over a 30 year duty life. This allots ~300,000 between 3 rebuilds.

The duty life is HARD work though, rarely what we all with put on it. 300,000 miles of commercial and off-road use is impressive. The block has enough guts for 3 rebuilds. I think (CMIIW) this is the case for all LC engines through 1997. I'm not sure what the duty is on the 2UZ-FE as it's original intention was not solely the LC.

FF rears were 93-97, funny the 100 series is back to SF 98+

That is an amazing factoid.
Well, as long as you keep the rubber bits&pieces up to snuff it sounds like a lifetime rig!

You're right, that is a pretty amazing service life... I wonder what it would be for the diesel rigs, those lumps seem to run forever.
