Mine's not too bad:
change the oil
install new Tundra/OME suspension (and panhard bar, extended brake lines, etc.)
Have new tires mounted and balanced
Remove mudflaps since they will rub with the larger tires
Weld something in between the bars of the sliders to keep the rock chips at bay
switchable DRLs

Mine's pretty short:

Oil change
Wash/clay bar/wax/vacuum before winter
Get Husky liner or equivelent for rear before ski season
Put snowboard rack on when the season starts
Get remote lock/unlock/start as soon as employee discount kicks in at Best Buy
Pay off 4Runner...

And the stuff that will probably never ever get done, but I've identified them as things that I want done but once I come up with the money they are instantly at the bottom of my list:

Get roof and hood repainted due to negligent previous owner (hood is not really noticable, and I never look at the roof anyway. Easy to not care about.)
Get parts for and install Tacoma Whip Antenna Mod (I don't listen to the radio at all really, but my current antenna is broken)
Get windows tinted a bit

It's the compressor for the lockers. No harness, no switch, no pressure switch. Just the compressor - pretty much a replacement for someone who already has one. $100
