New to me 06 V8 4x4

Thought I would introduce myself here. I had a 3rd gen for a while that I did a slight build on a few years back. Now Im in a 06 V8 4x4 as of a few days ago. Its at 148k and the PO didn't have an idea of when the timing belt was changed. He only had it for 2 years and no records from the prior owner. Parts are on there way but I decided to have it done professionally.
Not sure the future of the 4runner but I'm going to run it as is for a while to see what I actually need it to do and look like. DD and family camping rig. Maybe a install the GTA blue tooth thingy, full length roof rack or cargo box and some maintenance. Absolutely love the ride and comfort. I'm sure a lift will be down the road, maybe OME or something comparable. Currently working on a 85 FJ60 that was sitting for 15 years so thats taking up what extra time I do have.

Looks great! Looking forward to see what you do with it. If you ever decide to part with the roof rack, there's plenty of people that'd be interested in it (me included) lol.

Im actually reading up on full length roof rack options so I may be parting with it soon. I'll keep you posted.

Selling the rack. Misplaced one of the screws when removing the rack but I'll look for it.

Please keep us posted on the new rack install. What type? Source? Cost?

Why remove steps? Seems to me they might provide some protection, no?

Any V8ers in Seattle area?

Its a Prinsu rack. Pretty cool rack. I think it was about $845 after the add one.
The oem steps won’t protect against much.
