New to the board and new to forums all together.
Well I found a deal that I could not refuse I have just bought my self a 85 FJ60. I have never had a Toyota after years of Jeeps, Blazers, Bronkos, and a number of trucks. I have been in the back ground reading post's for sometime now, and would like to thank everyone that has helped me so far. I think that this is one heck of a truck, but have not been off road much yet. I live down in south Texas, and am going to use the FJ for fishing, and hunting with my too son's. The first thing that I found out was things for a Toyota are much more expensive. But it seems that most everything is down to earth and not hard to work on. So far I have everything working except headlight washers (I have never had one of these), my charge light comes on at idle, brake light shines dim all the time, and a leak at the manofold and the tail pipe,(replaced gasket twice) I am ready to just weld it. But that just gives me somthing to piddle with. But all in all I like the truck. Springs are a little soft would like a little more lift but $$$$. ( But Mom it's our fishing machine) So we will do for now. I see you guys have some awesome trucks and thank you for the pointers that I have been catching. So if you see a dull gray FJ with kayaks on top stop buy and say hay!!!!!!! Thanks Again
