Hello All

I'm James and I'm new to FJ's. (I own a couple of Broncos a 75 and 91.) My oldest son, Josh, was killed in action 2 weeks ago in Baghdad, a day after his first son was born. His wife wants me to keep Josh's FJ and build it like he wanted. His son will eventually drive it. I know he has a 5 speed manual tranny for it and a lot of other parts. When I get his FJ down to GA I know I'll have a lot of questions and I'll need a lot of advice. I think it's a 73 or 72. It has a modest lift, maybe 3 inches. The engine is stock as is the tranny and transfer case.
I just wanted to say HI and I hope to learn a lot here and I hope I can contribute also.
Ya'll pray for our troops.
Thanks
James

Yeah, Josh said the heater was worthless. That's on the "to do" list. You know, maybe I should have reworded my intro to the forum. I don't want to "scare" folks away. I'm excited about getting into the FJ world. When I was in the military I compared Jeeps & FJ's. I was in the process of buying one when the Air Force made other plans.
Thanks for the response.
