Fuel filter changes.
Transmission fluid/filter changes.
Band adjustment
Differential oil changes.
Ball joints
U-joints
Track bar bushings
Brakes
Tires
Wiper Blades
Washer fluid
Cabin air filter
Power steering fluid
Anti-Freeze flush/refill
Wheel bearings
Air pressure in the tires
Drain the water in the fuel
Steering rack
Lights


Ummm.....That looks like a good start for a list of things to do/check/replace

That should about cover it.

Number one is to do your fuel filter right away. Number two would be fluid drain and fills.

For my '08, differentials are full synthetic 75w-90 gear lube. Trans (68rfe) and transfer case (np273) are both ATF +4, as is power steering.
