sounds like you followed well for that year, bc you've hit pretty much everything. seals should include crank and both cam seals. the one thing i would add are new caps and rotors for the ignition, then might as well change the spark plugs too. i also suggest to use toyota long life coolant (red).

I got the Toyota red coolant in right now was considering doing spark plugs and wires probably will got the crank and both cam seals to

I was thinking either denso or NGK iridium spark plugs and same brands on the wires what would u suggest?

That's what I'm doing on my next service. I'm not sure when, or if it had been done by the previous owner.

Also was gonna go Bosch and the caps and rotors

the denso/ngk units are better quality in my opinion.

I havnt found the NGK caps and rotors so I was just gonna get the Bosch ones with the NGK or denso plugs and wires

The "fan bracket," a cast Aluminum piece that holds the bearing for the fan, usually fails a little before the mileage you are at now. Replacing it takes you half way through the T-belt job. So if your fan bracket is original I would replace it when you have everything apart.

This is good advice, Aisin sells the fan bracket I believe and it is MUCH cheaper than the toyota branded part. Definitely worth replacing on a higher mileage car.

Also as I said I'm new to the site where could I find someone parting out a ls400 I'm looking for a new trunk lid mine has some peeling on the clear coat and I ordered the clear and red taillights so it would be the finishing touch on the car for the moment
