As for high-miles FJ's: it is 100%, absolutely positively about the previous owner. A well-maintained truck will last, an abused truck won't. For the 150K+ trucks you're more buying based on the owner rather than the truck. Complete Guide to Buying and Selling an FJ Cruiser.
Drain the front diff; the plug is on the driver's side bottom of the diff and requires a 10mm hex bit or allen wrench: Here is a photo of the actuator in place, on the front side of the diff. The photo is necessarily taken from a low angle, underneath the diff and from the side: Disconnect the actuator vent breather tube from the nipple on the ...
I ended up taking advantage of 4wheelparts March Madness sale, and got a little bit more of a discount for customer loyalty(got my wife's 1500 lifted there a while back). I ended up getting the ProComp 3" lift, ProComp 16"wheels, and 285/75/16 All-Terrains. The actual lift itself was $526+tax, but with the March Madness sale, install was free!
The 3 types of lift kits are Comfort, Constant Load, and Performance and all are available with either Gas Shocks (54 mm dia.), Foam Cell Shocks (60 mm dia.), or Foam Cell Pro Shocks (65-72 mm dia.)

If you do a search on there you'll find several threads by people who have done it, with lots of advice for you in them.
I saw Big Turtles FJ last weekend that he just purchased used, and it had a sunroof installed and it was pretty cool. Personally, I could take or leave, and the other vehicles I have with rarely are used, but it opened up the interior and it looked like a different vehicle on the inside. If interested, PM "BigTurtle" for pics or specs.
For sale and local pick up only is a Ricochet Aluminum Wind Fairing that fits the OEM Roof Rack. These wind fairings are very robust and well built. I have had it on my FJ for less than six months but I changed roof racks and it doesn't fit my new set up. $150 cash (they sell for +\-$275 with shipping ) "Enhance your Toyota FJ Cruiser's style ...
Frankly just about any 6 x 5.5 bolt pattern wheel that Toyota sold as accessories or standard equipment on 4Runners, Tacomas, and FJs are pretty much interchangeable and there is a ton of crossover. With this post, I was generally only trying to address the OPs question about what wheels that came with the FJ and which are rarest.
