I'm preparing for a Canning trip later next month and have done a lot of precautionary repairs. My Hilux is over 300,000kms and done a lot of offroad touring. All that said, I really didn't need to do anything - everything seemed fine...
If you run bigger wheels or have submerged your vehicle, you may want to do your wheel bearings. Front suspension (uca/lca) ball joints are also a wear item. Your uca/lca bushes may also be worn.
Fan belt pulleys are worth looking at. I've also picked up a new alternator and belt as dust/mud don't do good things for them.
I change my uni joints while trying to diagnose a noise in the rear end - ended up being a diff pinion shaft in my e-locker.
Apart from keeping the fluids fresh you should be fine. Like I said, I didnt need to do any of this - except the e-locker.
I might be wrong.
