110K Maint on 03 2WD V8

[spo0587]

I am about to go to school in a month, and want my 4Runner to be in tip top shape. I got the rig with 93K and looks to have been a soccer kid hauler. I had to do a lot of maint right off the bat. So far I have gotten new tires, brakes, and done the T-belt, water pump, S-belt, air filter, and normal oil changes. I have also cleaned the MAF. To my knowledge none of the following has been done. No real maint history on the truck. This is what is left I think, but let me know if I am forgetting anything.

Replace change

1.Spark Plugs-Iridium and are due at 120K
2. Brake fluid change?
3. Power steering change?
4.Rear Diff fluid change
5. T-Stat change
6. U and L radiator hoses
7. Trans change? 5-speed no towing and the fluid is cherry red, no burnt smell.. Should.I change it now before it's too late? or drive forever until something goes?

Anything else? thanks!

You are pretty much talking about doing a 120k early, nothing wrong with that but probably overkill. The only items I would add is air filter, cabin filter and fill the spare. I usually put my spares right at max sidewall inflation as I know that I don't attend to it nearly as often as I do the other 4 tires.

My thoughts on the power steering, trans and axle are that summer tends to be the toughest time for those items due to the heat. If it were mine I may do them now, I would definately do them by no later than May 15th 2009 or 120k, whichever happens first. If you elect to wait verify the rear diff is full before you leave for school.

Brake fluid: Those components are so freakin expensive it's ridiculous! Changing fluid is cheap and easy (especially if you DIY), I say do it. New fluid handles/prevents brake system corrosion much better than old fluid.

If I have mine @110K miles I would perform
all of the above plus an AT fluid change.
I agree with brake fluid changes.
Every three years regardless of mileage.
