How about compensating for the weight with a 2JZ swap...I'm sure you know a little bit about them  |
Guilty as charged, and thanks for spotting me considerably away from my natural habitat. Trust me if it wasn't for the complexity of retaining 4WD, which is of course a huge requirement of my 4Runner for wintertime driving, that would be on my wish list!

If you are trying to get less parasitic drag on the engine so that you pull hills easier I would look into a custom undersized crank pulley to underdrive the accessories.

My wife would NOT be OK with airbag removal as this is the family truckster, but the underdrive pulley is a pretty great idea!
