Hello gentlemen I was told to introduce myself so I hope Im doing it right.My name is Brennan from the troubled land of South Africa and only recently did I start working on an FJ.A good friend bought it very cheap and only now are we finding out why lol.She is however a beautiful machine but has been really really misused,we are slowly bringing her back but just lack the know-how when it comes to the more technical issues.I desperately need the advice and experiece of those gentlemen far more skilled and capable than I...thankyou for having me.

Welcome Brennan,

Photos of the bike would be a great starting point for us, so that we can be sure of the exact model of your bike, which will help with advice.

I'm sure you'll get all the hero you need from the good folks here.

Welcome!

FJ's are very tough and usually survive whatever abuse they have seen.  If not, they are readily repaired and easy to improve on while doing so.  Good luck
