What general maintenance (not upgrades or add-ons) do you have planned to do or already have done to your rig? With most of us, we have aging rigs that have a good amount of miles, wear and tear, and may not have been kept up with by previous owners. I want to put together a general list of things to keep on the radar over many upgrades. I feel like this is a topic that sort of goes without saying but should be covered more for the sake of having reliability among the capability of our rigs. Let me know what you think should be on the list to be helpful when planning out a build or just taking care of everything. Thanks!
