Sounds like you've covered just about everything. I'd also do sway bar bushings and new endlinks while you are at it. I've replaced everything you've mentioned in your suspension and it made a BIG difference and feels great for a 25 year old SUV.

I do OEM for anything safety related (suspension), electronics, or when I don't want any headaches on tough jobs with fitment issues (ujoints). I also like the OEM steering feel and would rather not have sloppy steering from substandard parts. Control arms for example.
I ordered the breathers too when I ordered the drain and fill bolts and crush washers and all. Just easier to do it while I'm replacing everything else.

From what I can tell from all his records from the time he had it was he used oem for majority of it all.

I pull those lines off at the pick and pulls. I think you can buy them new. 01 and 02 are stainless steel lines to the rear heater.

My rack was also leaking at the steering column input seal but I used a little bit of atp-205 and it stopped the leak. I didn't feel like replacing it after replacing the inner tie rods and power steering lines.

I plan on doing the oil cooler to prevent that pink milkshake problem. I'm sorta skeptical about this issue though. I think it probably happens because of improper maint.

As you probably know the transmission cooler internal to the radiator fails causing the pink milkshake. The other alternative to bypassing the radiator cooler is to just replace the radiator itself. Most people find replacing the radiator every 10 years/100k miles to be sufficient. If you don't need the extra transmission cooling capacity then radiator replacement is easier.

My pick and pull near me gets what seems to be 3-4 3rd gens every month almost. I'll have to ride down there and see if they have any 01 or 02's in the yard. Thank you!

When looking through the records my grandfather kept I saw that he replaced the radiator at 75k and then again at 152k, seems he stayed on top of things pretty well. He was also very ocd about his vehicles and how they were kept and maintained.
