Newly Acquired '02, Suggestions for Preventive Maintenance?

[batmant]

Been looking at the 2002's for a long time. I knew exactly what i wanted, SR5 w/ sport package. Finally found one in decent condition, good carfax, 144k miles. The mileage made me a little nervous but I couldn't pass it up. Got it for ~$7800.

Looking for suggestions on things to do for preventive maintenance. I've never had a vehicle with this high of mileage. I'm not going to be doing anything extreme, just commuting to work in midwest winters. I'm going to start by replacing the spark plugs and air filter. Check the rear brakes (which are drum) and the front pads. Any other no brainers come to mind?

Congrats, I've been researching the 01-02's as well and finally picked up a Black 02 with 111k.

For preventative maintenance, look at this thread, in post 7

I called my local dealer to see if they had the spark plugs and they asked if I wanted copper ($.3.99 ea) or iridium ($13.75 ea).

Pretty big price difference, are the iridium ones worth it?
