    Switched our Ford Escape for a FJ62 LandCruiser

    Front discs are in and super rusty from the Florida humidity. Here's a little step by step video we put together. I hope it helps a fellow DIY driveway mechanic

    Switched our Ford Escape for a FJ62 LandCruiser

    This is the 1st time I really tried to make a 'how to' instead of just a DIY video. We hadn't been able to find a good tutorial for the 1988 FJ62 Drum Brakes so we were just trying to share what we learnt, hopefully this helps someone:

    Switched our Ford Escape for a FJ62 LandCruiser

    We did actually spray everything, the spray just wouldn’t get in between the old bushings and she shackle bolts/pins. Someone commented on our YouTube saying that I should have used a Sawzall and I think if I did it again I’d probably rent one. I’m one of those guys that are really bad at...

    Switched our Ford Escape for a FJ62 LandCruiser

    Hey All, I've been a massive observer of these forums for a while now and I feel the need to contribute some more. Last year we built out a little 2005 Ford Escape with the works and took it on a few month trip across the USA. We even installed OME suspension. We loved that experience so...
