    I'm just graduating highschool and wish I had the knowledge to do these kinds of things... So many old abandoned vehicles in my area that would be so worth restoring but I don't know how to do any of it... You're honestly an inspiration to work towards the goal of being able to work on my own stuff like this, found you from the ford 600 video a while ago and you randomly popped up in my recommended again.

      Just gotta start doing it.
      My first car I fixed up out of high school was a $500 Porsche cayenne and then the 3000gt vr4 I have a couple videos of. Then a couple years later the Land Cruiser popped up. If you want to learn something watch videos and just do it. That’s what I did. You gotta enjoy it.

    She is a beauty, you did well to save her :) I have a Serie 7 (LJ73 Hardtop) and I can't say how much I love this piece of rust :) Changed the head and head gasket and now she starts and runs like a brand new card. Those toyota were built to last.

    As an FJ62 owner myself, issues creep up and creep up hard. Unless this thing was in perfect working condition when parked, there is a lot more coming your way. All the while worth it, just be ready. Very possible the situation of the previous owner got it to this state (sick, immobile, no longer cared?), but the cooling system in it's entirety should probably be replaced (possibly a thermocure flush to get rid of any rust in the block first? It goes a long way), get an aqua fan clutch, dex 6 transmission flush including a bottle of lubegard when you're done, check every piece of rubber underneath, knuckles, tie rods, seafoam 500 miles before a change... I hope these things are on your list. Not to be negative, it's beautiful and awesome that you brought it back to life but just because it's a landcruiser doesn't mean it's good to go. I definitely felt your excitement when you cranked it after the oil and fuel flushes. Took me back to when I did the same thing with mine. Check the compression and oil-wise look into something like Rotella T4. Diesel oil but these things love it. I just don't want to be a comment telling you how awesome everything you did is. Just to be aware. Your base is fantastic and if you treat it right it only goes up from here. Cheers! Love it! Subscribed!

      @BradenBuildz  Рік тому +2

      There are more videos about this truck but for the most part it only say 4 years it’s good to go. Transmission wouldn’t shift right but I got it freed up. Didn’t take much to get it going good

      Indeed, I've owned my '89 FJ62 base model for 25 years now and I am only now finally addressing things like the 4 brakes, front axle, cooling system, radiator, oil leaks, water pump, thermostat, etc.
      Makes a huge difference and is worth the hard work and costs.

    Started up my Jeep Grand Cherokee 93’ Zj after 6 years of it sitting. Battery was dead of course but a jumpstart and 15 seconds later it started right up and chilled at 1100rpm. Brakes where jammed but some throttle in drive and reverse and it was good to go. Drove it 100 miles without any issues 🤣 have it all on tape

      17in black “trd” steel wheels got them on eBay for pretty cheap maybe 60-70 a wheel I can’t remember. I use super clean to knock off the old coating and then go back over it with clear to make them gloss
