Maintenance on 2004 V8 Limited

Please don’t beat me up too bad although I probably deserve it. I’ve had my 4Runner since 11/03. It’s a 2004 with V8 engine and AWD. It has 126,000 miles and has been a bulletproof tank.
It is no longer a daily driver, and I have been extremely lax in doing any kind of maintenance except for oil changes and brakes, which I do myself.
I am bringing it in to have timing belt done. Is there anything else I should be having done, like transmission or differential fluids? I really don’t want to have a failure and major expense.
Thanks
Dave

You're overdue for trans, tCase, diffs. I wouldn't let dealer do them unless you absolutely cant handle it.
I would do about three drain and refills on the trans a couple days apart using Toyota fluid or Valvoline maxlife.

120000 mile service for 2004 4runner?

At 120K+ miles, what kind of maintenance schedule should I follow?

Maintenance after 120k

Make sure they replace the water pump when they do the timing belt!!

Also a good idea to replace the timing belt idlers and tensioner as well.
