Pretty common problem with the GQ.

gotta make sure you get all the mud out of the brakes after wheeling.

Also decent brake fluid will help to keep the seals from going hard.

Rubber caliper hose probably needs to be changed.

Sounds like there is a bit of gunk in the line some where. Preventing the fluid from returning to the brake res.
Maybe changing the fluid might fix it. Or it might just move it to another spot.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY....
