FJ45 Landcruiser Restoration Episode 2 | Disc Brake Conversion Part 1/2

The restoration of my 1974 Toyota FJ45 restomod begins. This will be a frame off restoration right down to the last nut and bolt. In this episode I convert from the original drum brakes to disc brakes that I sourced from a 60 Series Landcruiser. Although this conversion has been done by many, there is very little in the way of instructions on how to do it. It's almost like a closely guarded secret! Well here are all the details you will need. There are some traps and pitfalls especially with the early model FJ45 landcruisers. I work through each of the issues that you have to address in this two part mini-series. Drop your comments and suggestions below as this will be a real learning journey for me having never done it before. If you missed part 1 and you want to know the direction I am heading with this build, click on the link below.    • How to Restore a 40 Series Landcruiser | R...   Hit subscribe to join me on this restoration journey as I bring an old Toyota 45 Series Landcruiser back to life. You might have a laugh and you might even learn something. I know I will!!!
