bought with 165000 now 230,000
v8 - Start with the timing belt. If you don't know it is good, youre playing with fire.
Grouping tasks that are in the same area helps.
Brakes and Fluids: diffs and transfer, lube driveshafts, grease all zerks, rotors and pads (I did these first - if you can't stop the rest is immaterial)
cheap and easy plus you get a good look at any rust
Front of engine - timing belt kit, drive bellt tensioner kit, thermostat and re-seal housing, replace hoses, coolant and radiator.
After that - pick an area
Top of engine - valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, plug seals, PCV valve, clean throttle body
Suspension: I did upper ball joints, aftermarket new LCAs with bushings, swaybar bushings, tierod ends, installed rear airbags (i tow), shocks (XRES removed)
Assuming you don't discover any major issues, you will have gotten a great look at the drivetrain and suspension. You can make any decision about fancying it up at that point.
