High Miles Upgrades?

Hello,

i have a 2002 Tundra 4WD TRD and it now has 235,000 miles. I know it has a lot of life in it so I want to make it last as long as possible.

i plan on taking a really long road trip in it and I want to make sure it’s ready for pavement and some off road. Any ideas for performance upgrades or maintenance?

Thanks

 

I would start with suspension repairs. What have you replaced thus far? Ball joints are a must. Front coilovers, rear shocks, leaf springs, tie rods, etc.

 

Good stuff, I have only replaced shocks, Bilstein 5100’s to level it out

 

Most importantly is timing belt and ball joints!!

 

I Second this

 

Spark plug and battery refresh?

 

Most suspension and steering parts should be replaced including upper & lower control arms, upper and lower ball joints, inner & outer tie rods, sway bar bushings, stabilizer bar links, rack & pinion bushings, and shocks, and rear shocks. Also, steering & transmission fluid need to be replaced. Timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, valve cover gaskets. Then maybe radiator and starter if you're a hardcore.

 

Check out my non-build build page. Its mostly a restorative journey getting the 2002 Access Cab back to original greatness.

A new radiator would be cheap insurance.
