Default Big service after long storage

Hello,

I am just getting my 95 disco prep from a long 3 year storage period. Since I had it as a non-operational registration, for this time I will need to have it smogged and tuned back into good shape.
My plans are to:
1 change the oil
2 new bosch plugs
3 8 quart tranny flug with filter
4 Brake flush
5 Power steering flush
6 New air filter
7 Coolant flush

Please let me know of any additional items that I should review.
Thanks,
George

Full tank of high octane with a good can of carb cleaner, a hard drive to let the engine clean it self out and not that it will help you pass smog, but do your diffs./t/case and check your wheel bearings for looseness.

Do not drive it hard for the first 100 miles or so, she will not like that.
You will need to add a can of SeaFoam to the gas tank to help freshen up that bad gas.
And you will want to drun the engine for 50-100 miles before you change the oil as long as their is no water in it.
And tghen change it again after 1,000 miles because there is all kinds of rust and water and acid and junk inside the engine that will dirty your new oil quick.
