Oil Change
Trans Fluid CHANGE (our fluid doesn't need a flush)
Brake Fluid
Powersteering Fluid
Coolant change (USE TOYOTA COOLANT! FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN A LEAKING WATER PUMP)
Drive belts if worn (I've already gone through 2 sets @ 70k...)
Engine air filter

Plugs are good til 90ish... change them early if you think you need to... heh.
ROTORS should be done w/ brakes... no need if they aren't vibrating/pulsating when braking @ high speeds.

Suggested maintenance, not required:
Drain and Refill Tire Air
Flush blinker fluid
Drain and refill cabin air

Also a good idea is your valve adjustment... It was supposed to be done at 60,000 miles, but my car didn't have it done (at least according to the stealership), but then again I got my car with 82,000 miles on it and I'm too broke to get it done, but who knows; that probably explains my gas mileage.

Some items you forgot:
- Adjust the muffler bearing
- When you drain blinker fluid, you might consider replacing with Halogen fluid or perhaps the much more expensive HID fluid.
- Remove dead bugs from windshield and replace with live bugs
- Some of the more difficult maintenance jobs require special tools. You may need to go to hardware store and get a left-handed screwdriver and a metric hammer.
- A lot of the lighting projects are pretty cool. I recommend changing the color of your headlights to a brilliant bright red. It looks very cool to on-coming traffic.
