I would check the electric fan (if so equipt), when the engine stops the hot water is not circulated it needs the fan to cool it. When they get older the thermometer quits doing it's job.
If it goes to hot after engine is shut down after driving that is normal. Coolant is not circulating at that point . If it goes top hot while driving that could be a problem Please clarify
I had the same problem with my 1989 Toyota cressida and when I had it looked at they said it was because the temperature gauge kept getting stuck and when it got loose it would fly way up into the red line and then return to normal like yours, you should get it replaced so that your car would send out unnerssisary engeint coolent

we own a Toyota Yaris and it is quite a dependable little car and we save over $3,500 dollars a year driving it the only problem on the 2-door is that when you want to get in the back and you pull the lever on the passenger seat it does not go back to a normal sitting position.

The 4.0L V6 doesn't use a timing belt, the 4.7 V8 does and under normal driving conditions require the timing belt be changed at 90,000 mile intervals.
Shocks need replacing. As this is a 2004, it is still under warranty. Return it to the dealer fro repair. If you are talking about a firm ride, then this is normal for a Tacoma 4x4.
