Taco in the Last Frontier

A big hello from up north folks!

Just got myself into a 2001 Tacoma TRD Off Road (5spd, 3.4) to replace my aging 98' Grand Cherokee

I'm currently in Juneau, AK but flew up to Anchorage to pick up the truck and made the 800mi trip back to Haines, AK through the Yukon Territory. I've driven the Alcan a few time but never in the dead of winter. It was certainly interesting! Anyways... Figured I'd say hello from the Last Frontier and start learning about the truck.

I just rolled over 150K and would like to do some MAJOR maintenance work so I know it was done. The only thing I was given receipts for were the timing belt at 140k and a new clutch about 5k miles ago. That said, I've got a leaky valve cover gasket that will need replacing, so while I'm in there my plan is to take care of all my gaskets, ignition coils and wires, spark plugs (fuel injectors???$$$)Fuel filter, clean the MAF and intake manifold,change belts and do a full fluid exchange (oil, tcase, diffs, trany oil and coolant)

Other than keeping and eye out for frame rust... anything else I should check out?

Thanks for the info in advance!
