That thing is still around, somewhere (I moved and I can't find it). But it just might show up again, at some future Rally. Maybe. Y'never know.  :diablo:

It sure was entertaining to anyone who just happened to be walking by at the time...   :biggrin:

Hey Igor, I bought an 84 that had been sitting around for 7 years although, unlike yours, it was in a climate controlled basement and the engine had been removed with the top end off waiting for an engine stud to be replaced.  But even after putting everything back together and getting the engine in the frame and running, there are a lot of issues that needed to be worked through - brakes, suspension, etc.  So I would recommend getting the stock FJ up to speed before working with too many major modifications.  I'm sure some of these modifications/upgrades are useful at the extremes of use, but the basic FJ (even with 80s technology) is a very capable motorcycle.  Enjoy and hope you have success with your bike.
