I recently inherited a 2004 Nissan pickup with 18K miles. It was bought in 2006 with 16K miles and, since then, just used for 5 mile round trips to the dump.

Yesterday I replaced the original tires even though they had lots of tread. I was concerned about dry rot, and figured that the truck was going to need replacement tires within it's lifetime anyway, so why not do it now? It also got an oil change. I believe it didn't have one since maybe 2006 or 2007.

I'll plan on bringing it to a trusted mechanic, but in the meantime, what else should I be looking to check / replace that might go bad based on a calendar and not on miles driven?
