So after not having a garage to work in for 2 years I am finally moving back into a house on the 15th.....with a garage. My sport has been semi neglected since I bought it and is coming up on being due for a timing belt and spark plugs. I figure I might as well knock out a ton of stuff at once before winter since "Scooby" is my fiance's and my only car (we ride scooters and bikes the vast majority of time so Scoob only gets used for hauling crap, moving, during bad weather, and adventuring) so here's my list of replacement parts/maintenance. I plan on keeping this vehicle for a loooooooooong time as the size/capability/fuel economy and the fact it is paid off strike a great balance for me
Vehicle:
2001 Montero Sport 3.5XS extremely well maintained by previous owner. All scheduled maintenance was pretty much done on time and mostly at the dealer. Has 117k miles on it now.
4 New 265/75r16's (Cooper Discover ATP @132 a piece, sweet!)
Alignment
Full wax, wash, claybar, shampoo, etc.
New fluids in all the diffs
Mitsu fuel filter (original one is on there still)
Mitsu airfilter
NGK iridium spark plugs and wire set
Gates Timing belt kit with both new pulleys, water pump, and hydraulic tensioner
Intake manifold gasket (have to take manifold off to do spark plugs....dumb)
Misc vacuum hoses
Things I'm not sure about:
Valve cover gasket/spark plug gasket set (don't leak now, so do I need to replace these?)
Cam seals (mine currently don't leak and were replaced by mitsu at 60k miles, anyone have an idea on the part number?)
Aftermarket Transmission cooler
Transmission filter, fluid/gasket (fluid looks good still)
Rear window moldings and gaskets.....these are getting cracked so do I try to source them now while mitsu is still around or just leave it be (no current leaks).
