Preventative Maintenance

[Troutsrunner]

Well i was going to buy me a new cherry bomb from pepboys but something in the back of my head kept telling me no, maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. So im buying this, Toyota 4Runner Tacoma 3 4L V6 5VZFE Spark Plugs Wires Tune Up Kit Genuine OE | eBay going to do it on my next day off on next thursday. It will be a nice way to relax after a 15 day stretch. Maybe the muffler next paycheck or so.

From another post but I feel like it is relevant ....

Lets just be realistic here. I will list off parts that almost ANY vehicle would need replaced or worked on by 200k miles ... To expect otherwise is ridiculous.

* brake rotors, pads and drums (my calipers are fine)
* lower ball joints (or pretty much anything rubber)
* steering rack bushing (again rubber)
* steering rack assembly
* entire suspension including springs and shocks $$$$
* water pump
* radiator
* fuel filter
* valve cover gaskets (pretty much a right of passage)
* spark plug wires
* spark plugs, OEM dammit!
* timing belt every 80k miles
* starter
