2013 LX baselining -- from most important to "I can wait a bit" (3 Viewers)

[vbjhinc]

Hey Guys! TGIF

Finally got my 13 LX after some restoration work and now I'm kicking myself in the behind for doing stuff backwards.
I should have done the "inside before the outside"....They say in hindsight...blah blah blah
Probably should have learned my lesson from the last couple 100 series shenanigans
wah wah

So anyway....trucks at 121k
Oil change and filters were done about 10 months ago while it was sitting on the dealer lot and a decent amount of other work - but - only the brake flush - no other fluid flush/drain fills that i could find on any service history docs. it hasn't been driven more than a few hundred miles in 8months, so I figured Oil change for sure....

Now...the kicker....what else can I hold off a bit on? I'll wait for things to fail eventually- o2 sensors, starter, anything else after 100-120k that dies etc....But I spent more than I expected/should have and am dreading the estimate from my LC/LX mechanic to get everything up to date.

fluid exchanges/flushes from most important to least that i need to do based off mileage:

Power steering (no history - an i just top it off?)
Transmission (no evidence at 100k)
AHC (no history at all 60 or 120k)
Transfer Case (no history)
Fr/Rr Diff (no history)
Coolant (no evidence at 100k)


That being said. No cracks or evidence of cracks starting on the radiator (phew! and no cam tower leaks, oil leaks etc. PPI passed with flying colors) -- Am I just a craps shoot away from exploding on the freeway or can I wait to proactively do it just a smidge longer? i gotta work and make more $$ more LOL

I know when the radiator gets swapped (at some point) I can have all the hoses and water pump, etc changed too.
It's CA based for 13 years, so I'm not too worried about extreme weather damage....

my brain is just farting at spending another 2-3k
Thanks in advance guys!
Good weekend to all of you

Cheers

Now....what to do with my 06 LX.....
Keep the 13 and don't look back ?
I don't think I'll be able to keep both

It can all wait...depending on your use factor...but it all needs to be done, too. I knew I'd be taking 3k mile trips almost immediately so I accelerated my maintenance schedule.

I believe spark plugs are 125k and I would add PCV replacement to the list.

I'd change the oil and the coolant before I did anything else, if I had to prioritize it. Also brake fluid flush.
Then diffs and Tcase
Transmission service after that.
Power steering I'd suck out the reservoir and refill over the next few oil changes.

Then there are heater hose tees, serpentine belts and idlers, blah, blah, blah.

Coolant flush and fill should be a priority. Closely inspect the radiator.

I’d also consider a transmission fluid drain as fill. Not a complete flush.

I agree with the above advice the other fluids need to be done but you can spread them out.
