Just stumbled across you guys yesterday and I'm very excited. :yahoo: I bought my '86 FJ almost 5 years ago after it had been sitting for 10. My dad owned an '84 when it first came out, then bought an '87. He's the one that actually found mine on craigslist. I've been slowly working at restoring mine back to factory condition, RPM looks like it's going to be a big help, and I'm finally ready to sell all my extra parts. I look forward to reading many posts on this site.
Thanks,
Trevor
Trevor,
Take some pictures and post them for us to see.
We like looking at FJ's!

Welcome to the group Trevor, what part of the world are you in?
It is becoming common that folks are finding FJ's that have set for years and now are resurrecting them. With RPM and enthusiasts here the opportunity is available to make our FJ's better than they were when they rolled off the showroom floor.

Yep! I will be kegging 10 gal of wheat beer tomorrow, I split the batch, 5 gal with German yeast to get that light banana/clove aroma and the other 5 with American yeast so I can play with fruit flavors as the Germans like to do. And I have been thinking of making wings so I can develop a great wing sauce. Tough to do when the weather is yelling at me to get out and ride.

Monkey brew tasting like bananas!!!! Please bring some to WCR. If you make some Monkey shine will it taste like bananas also?
Kurt
Bananas is what happens...AFTER you drink Mark's brew....like swinging from the trees, etc, etc...
Welcome Trevor, I'm reminded of the saying..."the classics always come back".

Don't forget the urge turn into a Power Ranger. Swinging from the trees is understandable but a Power Ranger????

I've got a lower fairing for an 1986, but I'm trying to sell the whole thing as a project bike. If that doesn't work, it'll turn into my project bike.
