My car's problem:

changed oil, don't need change transmission fluid
prepare the rear/front differential fluid, transfer case fluid
front drive shaft got vibration, u-joint bad, change a new assembly, maybe can just change the u-joint
rear drive shaft one u-joint bad, right now is changing both two u-joint, but one set tool is not enough
rear differential pinion seal leak, because the previous problem, but this part is not easy, see this video
rear left parking assembly lost only almost everything, only brake caliper left
two packing cable bought the new
windshield changed
ABS model problem, finally find a lost resist, not sure it will change good
heat wind switch resist array changed
some bulbs
too much rust

but it's really duration and still live :)
