4runner - 2003 - 2006 - self maintenance

[ToyotaToday]

I am planning on getting a 2003 to 2006 4runner as these are within my price range. I am wondering what kind of maintenance work can you do yourself.

On my existing Camry I would change the transmission, brake, power steering fluids and motor oil myself.

For the 4Runner, there rear and front differentials oil to change. How difficult is it to change those for someone who knows how to do the above.

Also, is there a transmission fluid dipstick for 2003-2006 4runners?

Toyotatoday,

The automatic tranny will have a dip stick. To change the diff oil is not hard. If you can do as you say, it sounds like you can handle this.
