New FJ owner from Western Canada

Hello from B.C. Canada. I am a new FJ owner, had many bikes in my life but have always wanted an FJ. I prefer to find bikes in boxes and rebuild them. I finally found a '93 that hasn't run in a few years and picked it up cheap. Cosmetically it is good but it needs some TLC on the mechanical side. I will be looking to all of your expertise for any issues that have me stumped.

Welcome, lots of good info and knowlegeable people here
The FJ has a few awkward jobs but is essentially a nice simple mechanical beast with not too much blackboxery
