Preventive Maintenance

[jtfitz90]

Morning gents,

It's about that time for some good 'ole maintenance. I plan on doing my timing belt, drive belts, spark plugs, oil, oil filter, plug wires, tranny fluid, gear oil (basically the works). Just found what seems to be a very good deal on a timing belt kit. Just wanted to get some opinions and see if anyone has any past experience with the kit and whether or not its worth buying.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

This one is the quasi T4R 3rd gen DIY standard:

I'd also be inclined to changed out the lower and upper radiator hose at the same time.

Have you looked on eBay? There are some kits with a lot a of what you're looking for that are toyota oem or good quality. Make sure you use dual tip plugs and I paid to get the oem wires too.

I ordered an OEM kit from "AirCabinMan" or something like that. I am a firm believer in OEM preventative maintenance parts and would highly recommend that kit.
