Скачать или смотреть Everything I’m Fixing First on My FJ Cruiser I Didn’t Expect This Much

After weeks of searching, we finally bought a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser (173,000 miles). We love it… but it needs more work than we expected...

This episode is the real first fix list for turning it into a reliable daily driver and a camping/road trip rig. We knock out a few quick wins (wipers, tint, blind spot mirrors) and we run into a couple problems I need your help with.

Products mentioned (and not sponsored) and more links down below:
Windshield wipers
Blind spot mirrors
Steering wheel lock (club)
Wheel locks / lug lock attempt
Storage organizer pieces

If you’ve owned an FJ Cruiser, I need your help:
What socket size fits these lug nuts with deep wheels?
Any tips for getting wheel locks installed when the socket won’t fit the wheel openings?
Anything else you’d do first on a higher-mileage FJ?
