    I’m finally fixing my Tacoma up after sitting for a year. I’m curious what everyone does maintenance wise. It’s a 2007 4.0 v6, 6 spd manual trans, 4 door. I know the basic such as oil and cabin filter but I’m not sure what else there is to keep up on! Thanks for anyone willing to help!

    Mileage? You don't have your owners manual? If not, go to the Toyota website to view the maintenance schedule. There is a tool there also for entering your VIN to check for recalls.

    Depending on mileage, flush PS, brake fluid, coolant, diff and trans fluid.

    Greasing the driveshaft joints and tire rotation and maybe alignment are some basics to consider not knowing your miles and maintenance history

    New plugs every 30K. Recommend the OEM ones, not the parts store platinum.

    2nd greasing the propeller shafts regualarly too, if overlooked you can count on premature u-joint failure.
