2007 V6 Limited 4WD Tune Up Questions

I recently picked up a 2007 V6 Limited 4WD w/81k on it. It has "service records" on carfax, but i dont know what all has been done "tune-up" wise. I plan on doing a full on tune up on it, both engine and fluids. Ive come up with a list of things to do for a tune up, but i want to see if im missing anything or if you guys would recommend something i didnt mention. Ive only had it for about a month, it came from PA and therefore has some minor corrosion on the chassis, due to the harsher weather and road conditions over there.

Engine Tune Up:
Oil and Filter Change
Replace Spark Plugs - NGK Laser Iridium 4904
Replace Air Filter
Replace PCV
Clean TB

Suspension/Chassis:
Lube Drive Shafts and U-Joints - Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease

Fluid Replacement:
Replace Front and Rear Diff Fluids
Replace A/T and T-Case Fluid

Looks good, I would also add at least a radiator drain and fill (I did it twice this summer to replace about 2/3 of the old stuff, although it still looked good) with the pink stuff, a couple "turkey basters" in the power steering fluid to freshen it up, and a full brake fluid flush (I am replacing my calipers this weekend due to one seizing). We have extreme amounts of moisture in this area and brake fluid soaks it up like a sponge. Don't forget to check the cabin filter as well, my Mercedes cooked a blower motor due to a completely plugged cabin filter not allowing airflow.
 
if you're going to replace the plugs, might as well do the full tune up and replace the wires and distributer cap. maybe even replace the valve cover gasket as preventative maintenance

its coil on plug setup, which means no wires, or caps, the boots on the coils looked good, and i will probably do the valve cover gasket in a little bit; when i have time and money for that(ive done them before on the 4.0 v6, not hard at all.)

ill add that stuff too. replaced the cabin filter yesterday, it was bad. and i need to get a hold of a scan tool like a genesis or something so i can auto bleed my brakes. i like that i can just bleed the 4runner brakes with the scan tool!!!!!
