Giving 97 4Runner to Daughter

[alaskaman]

I would like to have this vehicle (SR5 2WD 151K) in top shape when I give it to her in June. Only repairs have been a new water pump at 86K. Runs like a top.Aside from the fluids, brakes can you think of something that ought to be done? thanks!

timing belt if its never been done is DEFINETELY a good thing so she isnt stranded somewhere. 4runner has a non-interference engine meaning if the belt goes out.. it wont destroy the engine. it just wont work until its fixed. maybe make sure it has good tires on it? make sure you change the oil often.... fuel system cleaner??

Thanks....did the timing belt at 100K. Michelin MLX lots of tread.....will ask the dealer about cleaning the fuel system. the other items I am doing

Radiator flush
Transmission flush
Electrical Check
Brakes (duh)
Lube and oil change
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
U Joint check
Pressure test on the cooling system

anything else?

sounds like your doing everything under the sun except replace the motor. only other sensible thing i can think of is spark plugs. preventative maintenance of coourse.
