What are these several sources?
She got some needed love... Oil Changed, Grease U joints, Changed Tires to Falken Wildpeaks 265.70.18, Deleted AHC and installed some Shocks and Springs and new Torsion Bars. brought to tire shop to do an alignment she is running great. Also removed the Hitch sand blasted and painted waiting on bolts for hitch to arrived to re-install. Bolts were severely corroded so decided to replace with OEM.
Next project will be replacing sway bar links and bushings. possible total sway bar replacement.

Sounds like you got it. It works well, I recommend it.
have been looking at this setup myself - any photos and feedback on ride quality?
So many things done over the past few months leading up to Overland Expo West. Thanks @RuggedBound for all the help with the gull wings and tailgate storage (They're amazing and opens up so much more function!). Thanks Tim @nakman for all the help with the Gamiviti rack parts. @Shoredreamer and Rhino Adventure Gear helped us immensely with the iKamper and installation.
It was a lot of blood and sweat leading up to the events, but everything fell into place nicely and we were able to show off our Lithium Cubes and Inverters at the show with the new setup.

Changed the oil, flushed my AHC fluid, and did a rear brake job, replacing pads and rotors. Fingers crossed I don’t have a sticky caliper.
Used Shin Etsu silicone grease on all door seals and rubber hoses. This stuff rejuvenates rubber… my door seals were in good shape for 20 years old and 98,000 miles, but after the Shin Etsu treatment, the seals are like new.
A little goes a LONG way. Massage it in thoroughly, leave on for several hours in the sun, and then wipe off.
Highly recommend Shin Etsu for rejuvenating rubber parts.

Had a scare with my sunroof, would not fully close. Pressing button would cause a click, sometimes it would budge a couple of inches. Went to bed last night bummed after I moved it to the garage with heavy rain in the forecast. This morning with a fresh cup of coffee I went out to fiddle with it. Still no dice. I started rocking the button and assisting back and forth with my free hand, At first it would only move a few inches in either direction, with patience I was able to get it to cycle all the way clsoed, but rearward section would not pup up into it's locked position. More slow and back and forth and it finally popped up when closed as it should. I had woken up thinking i'd be pulling the interior apart today and feel really fortunate to have been able to get it closed. Last time I play with that button, time to pull the panel and disconnect it. Happy this happened in my drive way and not during the opening salvo of a thunderstorm.
High-pressure line to the rear air-conditioning sprung a pinhole leak in the common place right behind the passenger side front tire. Thought about capping it but wanted to keep things intact for the next owner, however far away that is. Not a terrible job if your rig is not a rust bucket. I’m sure the dealers charge a fortune for this work. It helps to have long arms to disconnect the rear line to where it attaches above the muffler (2nd photo). New line will be here Tuesday. New Denso drier desiccant bag ordered as well. Home Depot has it for only $15 and free shipping. Bizarre. Have a good day!
in a recent attempt to stop some of the rattles I realized that the plastic panel that bridges the gap at the tailgate is one source. I have an aftermarket storage panel installed on the tailgate so it’s just plastic on plastic rattling. I have a theory that if I replace the whole part the new springs will hold more tension on the tailgate lid and this will minimize rattles. The part number is 5857460100B1. Anyone done this?
If that fails then maybe I’ll just get one of these:

If there's no carpeting on your tailgate, maybe you can use some of the adhesive felt pads for furniture on the bottom of that plastic panel?in a recent attempt to stop some of the rattles I realized that the plastic panel that bridges the gap at the tailgate is one source.

I have the Huracan storage lid with the optional marine carpet and I've got no rattles.
Replaced the passenger upstream O2 sensor. Was going to replace both downstreams, but apparently I ordered the wrong ones, so time to return and reorder them.
While doing do, I found another issue: is this a third member leak??? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/is-this-a-third-member-leak.1292621/

Went on a short little adventure on the Mountain Loop Hwy and decided to take a detour up to Pinnacle Lake and Bear Lake. Nothing extreme, just a smooth drive on forest service roads.
Gave the 100 a deep clean with seats removed and such. Also removed the stupid fake wood trim pieces. Damn thing looks new!
Only took one picture.

Stop calling it a "FJ."
X2 using the ShinEtsu grease on your weather stripping. I used it on all the door seals on my '99 UZJ100 with 333,000 miles back in January and the seals look great now!
