Haha, it'll roll. I can't wait to have to on the road!

After a pretty unfortunate 2022 we're back I the US and the LandCruiser lives!

Hi! Yes there’s this video from last week. We managed to set aside one day to start working on the interior. We’ve done a small amount of work since this video. I decided to cap off the rear heater instead of repairing it and I’m really trying to film a video on the dry ice method of...

Yeah it was pretty good too!! https://www.rocky-road.com/ford-escape-lift-kit.html

Yeah we always knew the escape wasn’t a real off-roader as I’ve had an FJ40, BJ40 and a Mitsubishi Pajero in Australia. It was just the car we had and honestly totally capable of the adventure we took it on. The 2005 Escape was pretty underrated. Especially with the OME suspension lift and K02’s...

SHE MOVES UNDER HER OWN STEAM!!!!

Ok, so we've had some updates on life and the cruiser. Firstly I hope you guys can understand from this 1st video why it's taken us so long to get back to the regular updates: And finally we're able to get back to working on the old girl: We also wanted to say how much we appreciate...

Happy New Year everyone and thank you for all the great feedback!! Hoping everyone got to hit the road in their prospective rigs. We had a bit of time off working on the car over the holidays but we're now back in full swing. I've seen a lot of discussions about using Monstaliner and other...

Hi, yeah hard work and a bit out of our depth. Yes! once the barn doors are all sorted and we get her painted everything will fly onto her like a magnet.

So this is for sure a true representation of how my days actually go working on the car. And yes I really am so annoyed at the end of the video.

We finally started painting our Trail Tailor bumper and other accessories!! Feels like we're getting closer.

Just a little update this week. We did get one of those cool, cheap Chinese snorkels installed though:

So this is probably the most real video I've made. I didn't cut out any of my mistakes and there were many. For anyone looking to add Barn Doors/Ambulance Doors to their US spec FJ62, it is for sure doable without a ton of bodywork experience but it's not a quick job at all.

This video for sure explains why our build is coming up to it's one year anniversary.

We have had so many people ask us when we were going to address the rust on the rear quarter panels of our car. This one is for you:

This one is bound to be a little controversial. I know it's sacrilege to modify the body but it's going to be so much stronger and easier to maintain.

I think there is a little bogan/redneck in everyone and I am not at all ashamed to say that the sound of a custom exhaust system is what really brings mine out. Check how good this sounds!!

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

1. Year, model, color, etc: 1988 FJ62 White but soon to be painted with some Monstaliner (maybe like the below.) 2. Name of owner/screen name: Ben & Sofia/Nomad Effect 3. How long have you owned your 60 series? Is this your first? We bought her November 2019, This is our 1st 60 series but Ben...

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:
