I've been wanting to start a maintenance/build-up thread for years now, so as I make changes or upgrades to the 4Runner I plan to post them here.
July 2012, 117,213 mi.
Original front brake rotors finally warped so I installed new Brembo blanks from Amazon and Toyota pads. The upper ball joints have been weeping grease so I cleaned everything up and will start monitoring the grease situation.
The Brembos appear to be constructed as well as the OEM Toyota ones and they are nearly 1/2 the cost.
Ball joints "look" okay. Cleaned excess grease and will monitor.
Everything under here looks good except the stock skid plates, they're getting beat pretty bad.
Needed maintenance:
re-torque SC & tensioner
bleed clutch fluid
lube universal joints
pass side rubber fender liner missing
