60k mile service

Has anyone taken their 04 Tacoma in for the 60k mile service? I was thinking if this is even worth the money and what the dealer is charging.

If you can change your own fluids, there's no point in doing any dealership service at 60K in my book. Wait until 100K when you need to change the timing belt (and probably change the water pump too)

If your motivated enough to save 50 to 60 dollars an hour in labor!

Performing work anyone with a chiltons/haynes/Factory Service Manual and righty=tighty/lefty=loosy skill level.
My advise your already online, search for a FSM, pay if you have to and DIY.
The toyota "techs" are called "techs" and not ASE certified mechanics for a reason (yes some of the dudes are ASE certed, like 10% at any one dealership). I work with an old toyota tech and the storys I could tell you...

Change your plugs and fluids and thats pretty much it.
