2004 4runner maintance

[darktiger]

Okay my 4runner has 103k miles. I am about to bring it in for maintance, since I do not have time to do it myself. What are the necessary maintance/service that needs to be performed. I skipped my 60 and 90k mile service. I already have replaced my timing belt. I need to do my brakes, but I am going to do that myself. Also do I need sparkplugs, I thought these direct fire/ignitions last a long time. If I do need sparkplugs, which ones are the best/good balance between price/performance? Thanks.

put in your info and it'll tell you what is due. the big tuneups are every 30k miles. look into all the months between 90k and 120k and you'll get the best idea of what you should do.

I would definitely change the coolant with oem Toyota super long life. I would do the trans fluid, transfer case, front and rear gear oils and definitely change the plugs with denso Iridiums.

Do you all think I need to replace my rear brakes at this time? How long does the average rear brakes typically last?

If you're going on your second of fronts and the rears are original, I would plan on replacing the rear pads and cleaning/ lubing the slides as well.

:iagree: with all of 04 sc V8's suggestions. I would add if you get to the rear brakes, they look new and you can't bring yourself to buy pads I'd pretend to do them anyways. I'd take them off, lube the pins, push the cylinders in, bleed the brakes just as if you were putting new pads on. That'll go a long way to prevent a sticking pad/caliper and at 5 years/ 100k the rear brakes have earned some TLC
