The sounds and concerns I'm talking about include steering wheel shake when offroading, plastic sounds Everywhere, when shifting into gear it doesn't ease it jolts into gear. CV axles are leaking now.(lift kit install). Not sure if CV joints are strong enough for offroading.
The 4runner I own is in good condition, very little rust. Engine is in good shape 150k miles. I think I need to change the transmission fluid as well as the cv boots and then I will get a little more peace of mind.

sounds like you have new owner syndrome. lol it all looks fine.
the noises while off roading could be the steering rack guide or the joint in the steering wheel shaft.
your cv axles look normal for a lift. they will leak and eventually the boots will give. keep reading and searching and you will find answers soon enough. Welcome to the family!
