Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd say Hello, from another newbie to the site. Looks like there is plenty of information within and I look forward to learning what I can to make my '91 even more enjoyable than it already is.

I've owned her for a while now, and hoping to take care of some rough idle behavior and some annoying clunking in the front end.  I'm hoping to be able to contribute and help others out too ... it'll be fun I'm sure !

Take care ...

A very nice '91 you have!  Question: Have folks ever teased you about your manhood?

You know....a motorcycle with a pink stripe and all....

No? Wait for it......

Welcome pink striper, your FJ looks to be in decent shape. We can help you get it sorted out, however, you are exposing yourself to a very contagious disease, we call "Moditus". It makes serious improvements to your FJ and empties your wallet.... And it hurts so good....

Welcome to the group.  :hi:

Get used to the ribbing about having a Pink Stripe model. The 91' paint scheme is my 2nd favorite color scheme after the Theft Deterrent color scheme.

A fork rebuild with RPM valves should cure the clunking.

I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....
