Howdy - my 20014 FJ is beyond standard warranty and I don't trust anyone, including Toyota dealerships to check this and that, even if I paid the high price. I wrote down many of the standard areas and wondered (didn't see here) if there is a total how-to on the standard maintenance items noted in the maintenance log?

I do see a lot of individual tasks, but wondered if there's single document, etc?

Here are some things I'm looking at:

• Inspect Brake pads/disks, linings, drums (what to look for?) - I may not replace myself but want to know what I'm looking at - it's been awhile.
• Inspect steering linkage and boots
• Inspect ball joints and dust covers
• Inspect drive shaft boots (4wd)
• Inspect engine air filter
• Inspect engine coolant (it's super long life? I see the first call to replace at 100k miles) -How long should it last?
• Inspect exhaust pipes and mountings
• Lubricate propeller shaft
• Retorque propeller shaft bolt
• Replace clutch fluid (4wd)
• Replace engine air filter
• towing -
• towing - replace rear diff oil
• wiper blades
• Check cabin air filter
• tighten nuts and bolts on chassis and body
• Replace transfer case oil (4wd)
• replace front diff oil (4wd)

So just bottom line, individual how-to do all the standard maintenance checks?

Thanks!

I might have misread your OP. If you want a how-to, you'll just have to search. YouTube and this Forum contain about all you need to know.

That list is all super basic stuff. Basically make sure it doesn't wiggle, loose grease, or squeak and that's basically it.

You should download the fsm if you're performing your own maintenance/repairs. It will cover all those things you mentioned (in separate chapters)
