Welcome to the board.. Looks like you have a nice ambulance there. Here you will find some of the best info on the FJ series available. If it hasn't been repaired, replaced, rebuilt or modified by someone here, then it probably wasn't originally on the bike. Great bunch of people. And definitely a different sort of ride from most anything out there..

Nice bike ! Welcome to the group. They are a nice ride and there is a lot you can do to them to improve things. About as easy a bike around to work on. Basic machine for the most part. What part of the world are you located in ? I can see by the photo it's not S Calif...  :lol:

Welcome to the wonderful world of all things FJ! You'll find this site and members a great source of information on how to keep the "ole girl"  running strong. Lots of upgrades can be done as well - be careful though, it's addictive!

Good looking ride you got there, kind of looks my old 86'. That is before a made a few upgrades, I suffer from Moditus, a terrible affliction and a bit pricey as well..... And the best crack in the world....

Welcome to the group. You are now riding a world class super bike!!! Listen, read and learn from guys like the Monkey and RPM. Good luck with your FJ.  :yahoo:  My recent upgrades: RPM spin on oil filter, RPM oil cooler, plus rebuilt front forks. Next up Unipods.

Red wolf,
Welcome to the campfire! It indeed appears that you found yourself a very clean ambulance. You will find more to love about the FJ the more you ride it. They truly can get under your skin, in a good way.
