I've got over 325,000 miles on my 89 4x4 but had to do an over haul at 144,000 when the 1st timing chain went out on me. Since then I get the timeing chain replaced every 120,000 miles. As for the fuel filter I replaced mine by taking the starter out and performing some rather unique physical manuvers but finally got it out. Didn't have to go from the top down (tearing out the intake manifold etc.) Replacing the fuel filter at about 140,000 miles after the rebuild didn't make any difference. When mine was missing badly it was due to awfull sparkplug wires and bad corroided distributor cap. Wise to use Toyota ignition parts. Check your catalic converter. The aftermarket free flow ($59 as opposed to $565 for true toyota part) ones work great. I'm on my 3rd cat. They seam to breakup and rattle causing wierd things to happen. Good luck!
