My diesel 2011 prado has been sitting since February. I'll be back to drive it shortly. Not incredibly mechanically minded, but is there some simple steps to take to get running?

Charge battery (If its not dead already from sitting so long).
Check nothing has made a nest in the airbox, or engine bay, under covers etc. also check your in car cabin filter if it was left on fresh air. Critters love them.
Tyre pressures and any evidence of abnormal wear.
I would be refilling it with new diesel or at least topping up what are hopefully not full tanks now. adding a diesel conditioner wont hurt.
Personally I would be changing oil and filter as well buty likely not critical.
