    Looks clean and in great shape! How many miles on her, you plan on doing any initial fluid flushes just to be extra safe?

    It had pretty good records and was a one owner vehicle.
    107K coolant/shocks
    134K plugs/fuel pump
    143K radiator hoses/sunroof motor (this is also when I purchased it.

    148K I let the dealership do the first oil change and a transmission drain and fill ( I couldn't find any records of the transmission ever being serviced)
    I also let them due a brake fluid exchange around this time

    I started knocking out their other recommendations. I changed the front and rear diff fluids as well as the TC. I also put a new drive belt on. I broke the cargo light lense and housing while replacing a bad bulb... So I swapped it out for a blacked out LED one

    Also, did the PCV valve and I have a replacement hose on the way it was somewhat dry rotted

    I replaced the headlights shortly after purchase and bought some rubber Toyota floor mats for it.

    sounds like you are in good shape now! I am sure little things that wear will slowly need to be replaced, but 150k isn't much, should have a lot of life left.

    I am sitting at a little over 148K now. I am going to start exchanging the power steering fluid shortly using the drain and fill method. I need to grease all the points as well.

    I am open for any other suggestions to catch me up on the PM

    Thanks
