My Driver floor was wet, so I went ahead and pushed some string trimmer line down the sunroof drains and made sure those were clear. I did notice that the driver side had a lot of misc yard debris covering the hole, so that's been removed. I'll pour some water up there later this week and see if it drains properly.
I installed the front and rear bumpers, and I also fixed the driver side mirror, so those are done.
Both front seats don't move fore and aft, so I went ahead and purchased 4 rotors and 2 plastic caps from @gamiviti so when those show up, I guess I'll be pulling my seats to do that work. That's also what the white lithium grease is for (along with everything else I can put it on - like the sunroof mechanism).
I've been going back and forth about what to do with my front seats, they are in need of some help. The Driver's side has tears in it, and the passenger side looks pretty rough as well. I finally landed on high quality seat covers instead of new leather upholstery, which I ordered today... I think after reading all of the threads about seat covers, Escape Gear gets some high praise, so that's what I went with in Medium Grey (100% cotton). This also mean, I'll be pulling the interior out myself and replacing the carpet, which I'm not looking forward to (not pulling the carpet, but mainly melting holes for the different cutouts needed). I'll probably put some sound deadener down while I'm in there, but I'll worry about all of that when the time comes to do the work.
Also, I'd like to get the front mud flaps on but I need to get some of those OEM toyota clips that the screws screw into... gotta figure out where to get those, must be easier than getting from Toyota.
I have a couple other things that I want to do, but I'm still waiting on the buddy that I bought the rig from to get me the title so I can register/insure/drive this thing legally, mainly to my preferred mechanic shop, to install the 1.5" Bora Spacers that I purchased along with the 33" BFG A/T on FJ Cruiser Steelies on the rig, along with replacing all of the dif/transmission/transfer case fluids (don't care to do any of that myself) AFTER I pressure wash all of the years of gunk off the bottom of the rig... that way I can have fresh fluids AND see if any more leaks show up or if it's just 25 years of buildup on the bottom...
Still on the drawing boards of what needs to be handled are probably new speakers, installing a carplay head unit, eventually re-fitting 2 of the fender flares that seem to be detached in a couple spots, and cleaning the headliner, which is FILTHY...
