Not making excuses, just updating the multiple things going on in our life!

Little mini update as we start on the interior of the car. If anyone has any better solutions to a hammer & chisel and a grinder with a wire wheel to remove that factory sound deadening stuff PLEASE let me know??

What!! 500k miles! That is amazing. I'll search around but do you have any pics?

SHE DRIVES! To say we're excited is and understatement.

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!! 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 Bedliners on here. Here is our 1st thoughts...

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.

I keep setting myself goals a timelines and we keep moving the goalposts which is great but also super disheartening. I'd be super happy at this point if we were able to use the Xmas break to really get it sorted and have her trail ready sometime in January.

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

After all the work were putting in I don't ever want to sell this. 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...

They're very well put together and cater perfectly for me who has never tried to weld and also has no access to welding equipment.

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 forgot to reply to this. I checked your thread and we've been discussing trying one of your routes if we leave to late in the season this year. Very cool. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yeah I guess technically this FJ62 is the newest proper offroader I’ve ever owned. I remember when I had the 1981 BJ42 in Australia and my boss had a 60 series and I thought the shape of his was way too modern for me. So I’ve never really needed to change my mindset because I’ve never relied on...

Thank you!! We took a 2 and a half month cross country trip in our old Ford Escape in 2019 and we learnt what are our comfort levels are when it comes to this sort of travel. So if we wanted to do a longer trip or head into Canada or towards South America we had a pretty good idea of the basics...

Just to give Ryan from OTRAMM a little more love. We are very happy with the exhaust we ordered from him.

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!!
