Good  :good2: You will be happy with that. Makes changing oil almost a pleasure. Looks good also.

Much better, I can see the pictures now!
Looks like a great machine, I hope you get there up and running in short order.


Thanks Ron! I knew you'd have my back! LOL!

I have had good experience using Rotella T6 full synthetic diesel oil in my FJ. 15w40.

Pardon the off topic post:
I noticed in your pics that you've got the Corbin gunfighter and lady seat.  This deal just keeps on getting better.  Good find.  Very nice looking FJ BTW. From what I can tell in the pictures, your Corbin has the receptor for the backrest.  I believe the  back rest is still available from Corbin.  Or craigslist/eBay.  Your pillion will be and feel much safer with one back there.

You might like the bar risers too.  They'll sit you up slightly and  IMHO makes it better for the passenger.

Enjoy!

Yes she came with the cobin gunfighter seat. Did not realize this until I picked her up. Have the original also Between that and the Givi bags it's pretty close to the price I paid.  :good2:  plus has a set of extra high beams on front. I have been looking for the back rest but have not found it on ebay yet. Corbin has them but they are over $200.

Actually I don't know if I should get the corbin backrest or the givi top bag with the backrest. Any options on this?

This Corbin knockoff might work.  $50 to your front door.

To fit Corbin and other seats that accept a backrest with a 5/8" square stem that is 4 1/2" long

I'm not sure how long the stem is supposed to be. I'd measure the one I've got but it's been modified.  Maybe someone here can answer that question for you.
