What hoses should I inspect/replace?

Hi, I have a bone stock IX with 45k miles. Although the mileage isn't high, I want to replace/inspect hoses or rubber parts (e.g. bushings/mounts?) which may have broken down to to age. What/where should I be looking at? Thanks in advance.

The FSM calls for replacement of the coolant hoses at 60K. I'm probably the only person on the planet that followed that advice but now at a 100+K I'm glad I did, I don't have to wonder which hose is going pop.

BTW, there's two hoses to the turbo, two to the throttle body, two to the heater and two to the radiator. I also replaced the radiator at 100K rather than waiting to see when it would pop.
