    Hey All,

    Doing my first tuneup on my 2012 Tacoma 2.7L

    I know of the following:
    Oil Change
    Plugs
    Cabin Filter
    Air Filter

    Coil packs or just the boots?
    PCV Valve?

    Anything else I am missing?

    Thanks in advance guys!

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Check the coils at the plugs are not covered in oil if they are you need a valve cover and spark plug tube gaskets. Good luck! Edit: clean the maf, too

    Coils rarely fail on these trucks so I wouldn't replace them, as stated above make sure there's no oil in the spark plug tubes.

    If the boots are in good condition there's no need to replace them either just put a little dielectric grease around the inside to help it slide and keep it sealed.

    PCV valve shouldn't go bad either unless oil changes are neglected.

    I'd consider changing the fluids in your transmission, rear axle, and if your 4wd front axle and transfer case.
    Also grease your Ujoints if they have grease fittings.

    Start looking for take off shocks and struts from a new truck in the bst section. Edit: I’ve got upper and lower control arms sitting here ready to go on, too
