Congratulations, and welcome to the club. You'll love it.
I'm a mostly stock guy, so I'll leave the mod suggestions to others.
Just curious - Is this Runner's history clean? To my very untrained eye, there are quite a few different shades of oak & black (a non-stock interior color, I believe) in the interior. I'd be wondering if the airbags had been deployed at some point, necessitating the replacement of some of the dash components.
Definitely not trying to rain on a parade - I'm just curious. Enjoy that thing. It should treat you nicely.

If you intend to run larger tires and wheel, I recommend you install an aftermarket tranny cooler and bypass the stock radiator.
Also, do you know when the timing belt was done? If over 60-70K, do that too.
The 4runners are fairly bullet proof, but there are chinks in the armor.

why would you be not sure about the rancho/procomp set up. You think OME is that much better and what actualy is a diff drop
what is a center consul mod?
the deck plate mod is going to be next, there is nothing wrong by doing that?

If you want to see some of the stuff I've done, or need help with anything, I live in Mission...I'd be glad to help!(I've also got access to the shop at Toyotatown)

Here's mine: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/y...er-mod-156185/
Diff drop lowers the front differential, dereasing the angles of the front CV joints.

Checked the ProComp website & I can't find an application for a '96 4Runner, so I can't comment on their kit.
