In the last couple weeks, I have seen many requests regarding what it means to "baseline" your truck. Almost always an excellent answer is given by the forum, but it can be hard to track down all the baselining threads. So having just gone through much of the baselining process, I thought I would put together a list of common PM items in one place with corresponding walkthroughs.
FWIW, this list is not meant to be proscriptive. Only you can be the judge of how much preventative maintenance is enough. However, I hope you may find the info in this this thread to be useful - YMMV.
One wise note on baselining -
All OEM items can be had, at very reasonable prices, through CruiserDan right here on the forums:

One wise note on baselining -
Someone who rock crawls all day long in their 80 is going to have much different baselining needs than someone who merely DD's their rig for 300K miles than someone who has a mix of the two to someone who only drives their 80 2K a year.
But in the end, everyone who owns an 80 should take into account the great CDan thread on the "cost of ownership" as well as should determine exactly what the needs of their 80 are.

The philosophical foundations of one's own OCD should be tempered by their ability to pay for it....
