Welcome!!! The wealth of knowledge here is priceless to keep your FJ in top shape and Kookaloo ready. Always happy to see another Red and White enter the club. Might be hard to tell but the Red and Silver/White are my favorite, and I think, are the best years.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Hey!!
  Welcome aboard. Im not one of the masters of the forum but I have been learning. I believe you have one of the finer FJ's ie the 86 (red and white) Im sure others will chime in on this. Im from North Bay Ontario, if you find yourself going that way we can go for a Timmies.

Welcome :). Lots of info here. I notice you have a 85 Venture. I am in the process of adapting a set of Venture bags on my 1990 FJ . Its in the early stages. Right now I am thinking of reverse mounting them. They seem to look better that way and follow the lines better. I purchased 2 bag's and Venture mounts for reference all for under 100.00. And that seems about the normal price as there is a lot of them on the market.
Check out the gallery also. There are a ton of photo's to check out.
Life isn't about having the best, but about making the best of what you have...
