removing 3.4 engine to replace freeze plugs - what else should I do while its out?
Title pretty much says it all. Im removing the 5vz out of my 2000 4runner and replacing all 11 freeze plugs and the timing belt/water pump. Anything else I should do while it out? Im no expert on these engines and this is not my DD, so time isnt a factor.
Anything cheap in parts cost that is a bear to do with the engine back in?
Or even things that are simple to check while the engine is out?

Just curious....why go after all 11 freeze plugs?
Replace everything in the kit below along with a new crank bolt, radiator hoses, and other hard to reach hoses coolant vacuum hoses from your local dealer. Also, a new knock sensor wire...yours will be cooked from the heat underneath the lower plenum.
