Post Suggested Preventative Maintenance DIY

Just bought a 2004 and love it. It eats up the logging roads in my parts. I live in a remote locale and do not have access to dealers etc.

My vehicle must weather the elements without a garage (Canadian Pacific Northwest) so lots of rain 365 days a year!

What would you suggest that I keep an eye on. In the past my mazda door locks and power windows have given me problems in this climate. Should I be worried about the sunroof? (read about folks suggesting one re-grease the tracks, read that many upgraded the batt at this age,...)

Any advice and suggested actions that one can take would be appreciated.

Greese your drive shaft.
Most dealer sforget to do this and the long term results are bad.
I did mine at 10k and they were dry.
Used red M1 and it does not even smell!
