OCD Maintence Gurus Opinion's Welcomed: What did I miss?

What Preventative/Pro-active Maintenance am I missing?

2004 w211 e55 w/125k miles in project bring it back to semi-DD mode.

Hoping for the anti-stranded strategy.

I started here and began wallet hemorrhage:

Fired up the SDS and got to work... I know don't start.. I should have walked but I did not

I am hoping those with experience will chime in and direct my efforts.

So far I have done:
Fuel Tank- Dealer (pumps will be next preemptively)
Used Transmission
Trans filter fluid flush 3-4 qts at a time
13 pin plug
Conductor plate
Acc Belt / SC Belt
Fluids
Main battery
plugs
4 -new Nitto's
CPS
Few Oil filters over 2500 miles of shake down testing
New Radiator eliminating Trans coolant loop
Added Front Trans Cooler (Pusher Fan Installed Soon?)
Hoses that were worn were replaced
AC Compressor
AC condenser
AC Evap Valve
Heater Bypass Valve
SRS WSS pass seat
Long Tube Headers and gutted exh due to no mufflers/clogged cats.
Fuel Relay relay replaced socket inspected
Compression checks out within 5psi across all cyl
Bosch 010
Larger Front Heat Exchanger
Tie rods inner/outer (Needs Front and rear control arms, thrust etc)

*Bandaid applied -Crank Pulley got tack welded this morning to hold it together until I can get the new to me 185mm on next week sometime- 514HD and some colder plugs are on the way for the tune.


Progress
