Just wanted to come in and introduce myself to the group. I just picked up my first FJ60 ('85) about 2 weeks ago and already loving this thing. My wife has been trying to convince me to buy a bronco for years... but that's something that I have never had an interest in. As soon as she saw her first FJ60 she was over the bronco Over the past few months, I looked at a few within a couple hundred miles of me before finally settling on one that came available locally. The price was right, rust was minimal, so I'm looking forward to working to slowly restore this thing over the next couple of years.
What I am most looking forward to is learning more about engine/drivetrain work, carburetors, body work, upholstery, etc as I am planning to do as much of it myself as possible. I started on rebuilding the knuckles this weekend and figured out that's a job in itself.
Anyway, I've been browsing the forum for a couple months and have been blown away by the amount of knowledge on this board... I have learned a ton already! Looking forward to sharing my build with the group.
