Just picked up an unmolested 92 and can't wait to get my hands on her. Modifications planned are brake improvements, front suspension, and reduce engine temps bigger oil cooler and possibly header coating. I live in south Florida where air cooled mills take a beating.

Welcome to the group Scott ! The FJ is a fine ride. Post some pictures when you can. Lots of good information on this site. Let us know how she runs out after you get some time on her.
