Did a search for torque specs for my '17 TRDOR and I found this info I got from a google search that was on another forum. Hope this info is helpful!

Inspect and adjust all fluid levels - every fill-up

Engine oil (0W-20 ILSAC GF-5 oil - Toyota part # 00279-0WQTE-01)
1) Check w/ engine warm greater than 5 minutes after shutting off engine
2) Tip: leave dipstick out while waiting 5 minutes to allow oil in dipstick to drain back down, makes it easier to read
3) Per manual, it’s 1.6 qts from low mark to full mark, don’t overfill

Coolant (Toyota SLLC - Toyota part # 00272-SLLC2, 50/50 pre-diluted, Canada is 55/45)
1) Between LOW and FULL lines with engine cold

Brake fluid (FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 or SAE J1703)
1) Between MIN and MAX (should be near or at max with fresh pads)

Power steering fluid (Automatic transmission fluid DEXRON® II or III)
1) Between min and max (cold and hot lines provided)
2) Cold - not driven in last 5 hours (50-85 degF fluid temp)
3) Hot - driven 50 mph for 20 mins (140-175 degF fluid temp)

Clutch fluid (FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 or SAE J1703)


Rotate tires - every 5k or 6 mo

Front to back/back to front on each side
Lug nut torque - 83 lb-ft (21mm)
Check torque ~1000 miles after rotating

Replace engine oil and filter - every 10k or 12 mo (severe: 5k or 6 mo)

Torque specs:
Oil pan drain plug - 30 lb-ft (14mm)
Oil filter cap - 216 lb-in/18 lb-ft (TOY640 with 15/16" or 24mm socket)
Oil filter drain plug - 120 lb-in/10 lb-ft (3/8" square drive)
No. 1 engine under cover sub-assembly - 22 lb-ft (12mm)
No. 2 engine under cover sub-assembly (off-roads) - 22 lb-ft (12mm)

Parts:
Oil - 6.1-6.2 qts 0W-20 ILSAC GF-5 oil - Toyota part # 00279-0WQTE-01
Oil pan drain plug gasket - Toyota part # 90430-12031
Oil filter element kit - Toyota part # 04152-YZZA1

Special tools:
$17 Assenmacher Specialty Tools TOY 640 Oil Filter Socket Wrench for Toyota/LexusAST TOY640 filter wrench (or Toyota SST 09228-06501)
5/8” ID tubing (for oil filter drain pipe)

Tips:
1) Requires removing skid(s) for access.
2) Oil filter has permanent housing, oil filter element kit includes new filter cartridge, 2 new gaskets, and the temporary oil filter drain pipe.
3) Hose for oil filter drain pipe (if used) should be 5/8” ID (15 mm). About $1 at Lowe’s in the plumbing section for clear vinyl tubing. Can help with splashing.
4) Proper torque of the oil filter cap and oil filter drain plug should help prevent the cap coming off before the drain plug on the next change, which can be a lot cleaner.
5) When you remove the filter drain plug, give it a little impact. If you're too smooth, the plug and housing will try and move together.


Lubricate propeller shaft - every 15k or 18 mo (severe: 5k or 6 mo)

Parts:
Spider grease - $11 Mobil 1 Synthetic GreaseLithium base chassis grease NLGI No. 2

Special tools:
$31 Lincoln Lubrication 1134 Heavy Duty Pistol Grip Grease Gun with Whip Hose and Rigid PipeGrease gun w/ pistol grip and flexible hose for zerk fittings

Tips:
1) Spiders should be greased until fresh grease purges from all 4 seals. Should purge somewhat evenly, or there may be a problem
2) I would not attempt to lube center support bearing. I suspect it is sealed and is meant never to be self-serviced.
3) Only 4wd's have zerks, won't find any on a 2wd.


Re-torque propeller shaft bolts - every 15k or 18 mo (severe: 5k or 6 mo)

Torque specs:
U-joint bolts - 65 lb-ft (14mm/17mm)
Center support bearing - 27 lb-ft (be careful, if it was loose, may need realignment)

Tips:
1) You will need 14mm and 17mm box ends or flarenuts for the u-joint flanges, sockets won't fit
2) The flanges at the transfer case have a 17mm bolt head with a 14mm nut
3) Flanges at the diffs have a 14mm bolt with 14mm nut
4) Recommend a box-end or flarenut crowfoot on your torque wrench, but don't forget to lower your torque setting due to the longer torque arm. Here's a calculator: http://www.cncexpo.com/TorqueAdapter.aspx
5) Will have to remove heat shield at rear of transfer case (12mm)
