Thanks for the response, everyone! Really appreciate the insights.

Thanks for the replies. Attached a photo above. Crack is only about an inch long and you can see Bondo showing below it. I’m thinking maybe a little 3M 5200 marine sealant covered with some waterproof flex type tape as an immediate fix. Thoughts?

I’m gonna say nothing in the holes except Bondo. Really not interested in dropping the headliner for now…

Years ago, I had the roof rack removed when I had my 1996 80 repainted. Unfortunately, the paint shop used some putty to fill in the areas where the roof rack was, and now that putty is starting to crack in certain spots. My question is: is there a permanent solution to fill these small cracks...

Anyone planning on camping on Saturday night?

WKOR. Got the long version and trimmed front mud flaps and rubber thingys on rear passenger doors. Love ‘em.

Great info. Going to give it a shot. Thanks @MrMikeyG

I have a Planted bracket with a Scheel-Mann seat. The quality of the bracket is good but mine slopes rearward like yours and I do feel like it creates a weird driving position. I wish there were a way to level it out a bit more.

I went with the full length version and just trimmed the front mudflaps with some heavy duty scissors. Looks fine and I have full protection when I takeoff the front mudflaps for harder wheeling. I also went with the 10°. They’re great.

I got a set from MAF last year. Says there are two in stock: https://manafrelv.com/product/manafre-80-series-3-front-control-arm-drop-brackets-90-97-fj-fzj80/

I got a floaty boat key chain and some extra tools stuffed next to the spare tire tools.

Used SikaFlex P2G on mine. Been through three significant rain events since and bone dry. I got a tiny bit on the windshield and it hasn’t even slightly deteriorated despite being whacked by the wipers hundreds of times. Guess I’ll have to properly remove. Get a heavy duty caulk gun.
