Decided to do a quick trip to the hilltop for a quickOne of the rear OME shock had some indication of starting to leak. Inspection/testing revealed over time the gas has leaked out on both making them weak along with loss of dampening. Do for replacement anyway glad the leak showed up.
Hopefully an increase in MPG.I know you are thinking WTF increase in MPG.

The Anti-Tech
Installed @Matthew Spencer 's cool 3D printed seat levers and a new DS seatbelt to replace the roached unit. Did not trace the cause of my low idle, nor clean my AFM, mostly because I wasn't able to successfully pull the multipin connector from the AFM. Didn't want to force it because the plastic is really baked and brittle, and breaking it would escalate the problem. So will go to mech during the week, who will do a comprehensive check for vacuum leaks, which he suspects it is.

What shocks did you go with?
LED or OEM? After the pain in the A$$ of replacing mine with LED, it better not go out again! Actually it was my fault. The electric paint from Radio Shack works wonders

With all the options available now, why did you go with OME? How did they perform?
I've been chasing a cooling issue on my truck since I bought it ~5yrs ago. Everytime i fix one thing, it moves the problem downstream. Lately I've been adding coolant, to the tune of about a half gallon a month or so.
A few weeks ago I discovered a leak in the heater mixing valve that was burning off a heater line so not hitting the ground.
I got the heater valve during the week, so got around to replacing it today.
Before:
After:
P.O. had done the PHH bypass around the brake booster, so I shortened it to b/n the booster and manifold. I also discovered that the bypass hose clamp on the bottom was halfway off, no wonder I was losing so much coolant.
Hopefully this takes care of it.

Cleaned out the water catch on the air cleaner housing as well. It was nasty.
If someone can tell me how to make the pics larger when I post them it would be appreciated.
Someone buy a fj80? Its en route at Miles City, MT
If it worked well in supporting an iPad as a permanent solution, $100 doesn't seem overly outrageous to me. But what do I know?Right now it’s too much. I’d have to sell for close to $100. 1/3 of the cost is just the keenserts. Ugh. I think the price on this will prevent me from making more. But at least I have one

That's a 91-92 in the best color for an 80. Wish it was heading to Iowa...

the last of the seals to replace. the o-ring only just started leaking (all the other rubber was changed out 30K miles ago). still pretty flexible but a little out of round
