Once a year i change the air filter and the cabin air filter.
Every 2 years 20k-30k miles i change the brake/clutch fluid in the reservoir and bleed the brakes/clutch and i also do the spark plugs at that interval as well.
When i change the oil and service the brakes when its on the jack stands i do a full check of the steering and suspension that there's no play in the wheels or bearing noise. Check for any obvious damage to the steering and suspension and take a look underneath for any signs of rust or leaks.
All I've had in 110K is exhaust, water pump and an alternator. Oh and a battery. And 8 tyres besides servicing. My trailing arm bushes and front control arm bushes are a little perished but not bad yet.
The Toyota coolant is like... 100,000 miles/10 years. Mine is a 5 speed manual still on its original clutch. I think the chains last easily for the life of the engine as long as the oil is kept topped up.

Good God man! You do a lot of spark plug changes!
