    So anything of great importance to know about my new ride?

    83k miles currently.

    I have searched around and cannot find a definitive maintenance schedule for this beast. I already checked the glove box. It just has the manual which tells you to look somewhere else. :p

    I understand these have timing chains, so no worries there thank goodness. What about water pump, plugs, other problem areas, etc?

    No leaks ANYWHERE - very well maintained I am happy to report.

    Thanks, gents!

    I would service the front diff, the rear diff and transmission in that order.
    Replace the coolant with Toyota coolant at 100k and replace the spark plugs.
    Other than that you should be good to go if the brakes and tires are good.

    Sorry to thread jack. What about rear breaks? I have 74k on mine and wondering if I should be worried or not.
