Default 2000 GS300 With 122K Recommended Maintenance?

Just picked up a 2000 GS300 to replace the 1996 ES 300 someone totaled by rear-ending at red light (son's car). Excellent body and interior, zero rust, etc. BUT previous owner was a change-the-oil and go kind of guy. Water pump and timing belt in my plans plus all fluids and tune. Anything else I should replace while it's apart for timing belt and water pump?

Default Thanks

Appreciate the feedback gents. Will check/replace all recommended. I'm driving this car from Michigan to San Diego to deliver to my son. Should be a solid test drive.
