V6 120K stuff / throttle body cleaning questions..long

A few questions!~Right now ive got about 123K on the clock, and so far ive had the timing belt/pulleys service done. I ordered from Eeuroparts: plugs, a regular air filter (to sub while the K&N is cleaned)and some power steering fluid (Its looking kinda brown). I'll probably have the brake fluid changed by a professional, and the coolant is very slowly exchanging itself (thats a whole other issue!) The trans fluid has about 14K miles on it, so I may wait on that..or not? Engine oil still has 1K left on it.
What else should I be thinking about doing thats a pretty easy DIY?
Every couple of months I take the intake hose off that throttle body and spray some 3M T.B cleaner in there and wipe it out. This time I really spent some time gently opening the plate shooting the cleaner in, and letting it drip out. Lots of gross stuff came out!! I noticed after the cleaning the car was much more smooth on the idle, and responsive. Ive thought about taking the T.B off the car itself and doing the cleaning, im just wondering if it would be worth it.
Any suggestions would be great!
thanks
