A couple quick questions

Hi all. I was recently given a 1990 toyota pickup. 4x4 2re motor with 160,xxx miles. Any ways the vehicle has sat the past 4 years in his drive way. I bought a manual and I was trying to make A list of what I should be looking at. From what i can tell you is. The water pump needs to be replaced. Oter than that it apparently ran fine before it was parked. So far I plan on changing the oil, spark plugs, changing the brakes new battery etc. Does anyone have any other advice on what I should change and look at. Also im worried that the hubs may be locked, could this present any problems?

Change all the filters, all the fluids, drop, drain and flush the gas tank, flush coolant system, new tires, etc. Sitting up 4 years that vehicle has a lot of things to replace.

They should be fine. Just repack them with grease.
