I have had my 02 limited for 6 months, since I have gotten It I have done timing belt with water pump all seals and idlers, plugs valve cover gaskets, serviced the trans oil and filter changed oil In the diffs and transfer case, got screwed on fleabay for a heater control, put a set of 245s on it for winter (didn't really help mileage as much as I thought it would) rear axle seals and bearings, toytec 3 in lift by far the best mod has been the andy mod, it helped my mpg more than the 245s . it has been great for bird season all my gear and 2 dogs fit with no problem. the heavy rear springs work great sits level with over 1000lbs loaded down. not impressed with the power at all my 92 3slo with a 5 speed isn't that much slower. thinking sc might be next. all in all great vehical mpg have been as low at 14.5 to 19.5

Nice! Those are all great maintenance things. Other things I'd suggest is to get a new radiator and/or external tranny cooler to avoid "pink milkshake". Mine eats rotors as well which is why a lot of guys do an 01 Tundra brake swap. Good ceramic pads and rotors will last a while if you don't tow.

Enjoy the truck!
 
forgot installed a new rad when I did the timing belt. one other thing I did was remove the rear seat bases to get more room for gear,
