Tibsy,

Welcome to the FJ campfire! Relax and be among friends. 

For any new owner, it would be wise to check to be sure the fuel petcock has been safety wired.  I believe this applies to all years of the FJ, but better to be safe than sorry.
We have a great well of tech information and expertise here; there are also FJ forums in Europe/ Germany, for any non-USA related issues.

Nice looking machine!  May you have miles of smiles there!   :yes:
Cheers,
Red
P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.
