What are any common issues that you guys can think of off the top of your heads? Anything OE that should be replaced to avoid problems ie. tstat, pumps, leaking lines, anything like that.
There were some recurring issues in the pre-2010 models (front fender bulges; rear diff issues). The only common issue I've heard about in newer models is a tire/steering wheel shake at 55-65mph. Lots of people have reported this issue, but I've never had it happen. Be sure to test drive any vehicle up to 65mph.

Go to the dedicated FJ Forum and search for threads about the steering wheel shake.
