What do you think, just got some work done?

[E30RUNNER]

So I purchased a 99 4runner with 83K miles and got the following work done to it.

-Coolant Flush
-Front & rear differential Flush
-Replace the PCV valve
-Cleaned the throttle body and the MAF sensor with air intake cleaner and MAF cleaner
-Changed the air, oil, and fuel filters
-Brake fluid flush
-Used the BG44K Emission cleaner set
-Timing Belt/ Water Pump
-Crank/Cam Shaft Seals
-Replaced Spark Plugs/Wires (NGK)
-Replaced the three belts I'm not sure what they all go to.

So I know all of these things I could've done on my own but in between work and my inexperience under a car I decided to shop around for a mechanic. My brother referred me to one in Chicago, he did an awesome job and charged me $390 for labor and the parts cost me $270. I thought the price was a steal even though he took a couple days with the car.

Anyway, my MPG better show some improvement or else I'm going to pull my hair out. now I can start shopping for upgrades since I have my major maint out of the way. First thing on the list is a nice set of tires, any suggestions? My girlfriend brother works at TireRack so I'm thinking I'll get a set of BFG All-Terrain... What do you guys think of the tire?

I'll stop rambling now.

Sounds like you got pretty much everything covered there! congrats on the purchase! you didnt get the timing belt and water pump REPLACED in all that did you? cuz $270 and $390 for all that is AMAZING!

On the tires, I'm no expert! good luck with modding! as soon as you start, you may NEVER stop! be prepared to get addicted!

Timing belt and water pump was replace I was there to see it and I have the old parts as well.

I forgot that I purchased the Ignition wires and the BG44K Kit seperately so that adds another$80 or so to my parts total.

That's the one thing I didn't get done. I'll probably be doing it sometime this week myself.
