Default '05 100k mile maint

Just had my '05 GX (109k miles) in the shop. Timing belt, WP replaced. Pulleys/tensioner were still good. Unfortunately....radiator bad - replaced...which got me a flush and new coolant/thermostat. Oil/filter chng. All fluids in drive-line replaced. Greased all fittings. And here's the reason for my post. Had the tranny flushed. I recommend this. Noticeable difference. Lexus says for life of vehicle. I bed to differ. Shifts way cleaner. Total $2,195. Peanuts when I bought a '05 for $11k cash. Nice not having a car payment !!!

Radiator seems to leak around 100K or so. I had mine replaced with the timing belt. I still have the original plugs at 127K!!!
