Predator tube steps, Ranch Hand grill guard, Magnaflow CatBack exhaust, Toyota tool box & bed mat, 2LO Module by @Up2NoGood, Rearview Compass/Temp Mirror, Tune by @JustDSM.

The newer FJ Cruisers had Dual VVT which boosted power a bit, the dual VVT and single VVT engines are not interchangeable.
Also the power ratings on the early models I believe were running 91 octane fuel which allows slightly more aggressive timing resulting in slightly more power.

IMO if you want the truck to feel peppier get a tune, if you insist on more power supercharge it.
