    I just recently crossed 130K miles on my 2012 Double Cab Tacoma 4x4 with the 4.0L engine that I bought new and I am wondering if there are any maintenance items that I should take care of in the near or near distant future? I do my own maintenance and replace oil/filter/air filter every 5K miles or so. At 115K miles I replaced spark plugs, serpentine belt, F & R differential oil, transmission oil, transfer case oil, and greased propeller shaft. My battery, tires, and brakes have all been replaced in the last 2 years. I think that I'm up to date on everything, but am I missing anything or anything that I should keep an eye on? Thanks in advance

    maybe brake fluid flush, and power steering fluid flush, other than that, looks like a good list. I just crossed over 100K so I am right there with ya :thumbsup:

    OP you are good man.

    About the only thing would be coolant, brake fluid and PS fluid, but the bulk of it you have done proper!

    Cool thanks for all the input and I'll put steering/brake/coolant flushings on the list. I do put a bottle of the Lucas fuel injector cleaner in every few months. Does the timing chain need to be checked/changed at all or ever?

    take a look at this brake bleeder........no need for a buddy.......

    Amazon $20........just keep pump higher than the catch bottle......

    use it also to suck out P/S reservoir too.....then refill/drive/refill........

    3-4 times will clean it out purty good......I think......I've been wrong once.........:crapstorm:
