Default 160k miles!!!

I have an 04 LS430 sport suspension model that just hit 160k miles. What do you guys recommend for maintenance or tune up at this stage? Here's what I'll be doing this week...

Change full synthetic oil, flush tranny, new tires, new brakes and crossed drills rotors, and alignment.

Am I missing anything? My car at 160k miles still runs strong and doesn't feel like it's lost any power at all. Only issue I have is the steering wheel does not auto pull out when car is started and volume control on steering wheel does not work. Any suggestions to repair this and further maintenance and tune up is appreciated. Thanks.

The telescopic motor is most likely dead for the auto retract feature. Few hundred dollar part and a few hours of your time.

I'm going with the cross drilled because I'm getting a good deal on them. Also a buddy of mine with same car got them and they stop very well. I figured why not.

Yea it sucks to manually retract it every time I drive. I'm trying to avoid dumping a lot money into the car at this stage. Did everything except brakes today and drives great.
