Back to your radiator, make sure to use DexCool coolant and have you considered using a bottle of Royal Purples Purple Ice to help maintain lower temp?

Old style.
For bleeding, I was going to follow shop manual:
5. Release top hose from retaining lugs on the fan
cowl, leaving the hose to rest on the lugs.
6. Remove bleed screw from top hose.
'A' From 03 MY
'B' Up to 03 MY
7. Unclip the bleed hose from the battery box.
8. Remove expansion tank from its mounting
bracket. Slowly fill the expansion tank with
coolant, approx. 4 litres (7 pt).
9. Raise the expansion tank approx. 20 cm (8 in)
vertically, coolant will drain into the system.
10. Refill the coolant expansion tank until a steady
flow of coolant is emitted from the bleed hole.
11. Fit the bleed screw then, with the expansion
tank still raised, continue filling the system until
the coolant level reaches the base of the
expansion tank filler neck.
12. Fit expansion tank filler cap, fit the expansion
tank to its mountings and clip the bleed hose to
the battery box.
13. Refit the top hose into its lugs on the fan cowl.
14. Start and run engine until normal operating
temperature is reached, and check for leaks.
15. Switch off engine and allow to cool.
16. Check for leaks and top-up coolant to cold level

Water pump should be OK, do you have the old style upper radiator hose that has a bleed valve built into the hose or the new style with a black plastic tee?
With that low a mileage, the other hoses should be fine.
Have you read and replaced the 2 rear u-joints on your front drive shaft where they hook to the t/case? Check and see if they have grease fittings, if they don't, that should be your next project.
Back to your radiator, make sure to use DexCool coolant and have you considered using a bottle of Royal Purples Purple Ice to help maintain lower temp?
Last thought, do you know how to bleed all the air from the engine when you are done?
