    You are very inspiring. Slow and steady is a great approach. You don’t cut corners and you are not afraid to take steps backwards to get something right. You take your time to clean things before moving forward. It is just fun to watch you work. Thanks for the entertainment over the years.

    Corbeau means crow in French, you say it like Kor-Bo. Love your videos man. At 37yo you inspired me to go back to school to get a degree with the goal to open my own shop in the future. Cheers from France!

    Corbeau seats are the bomb (I believe it's pronounced CORE-BOW). I have a pair of the Bajas in my '92 pickup and they are so comfortable and supportive.

    @madcratebuilder 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    It takes time because you are a perfectionist. There are a lot of TH-camrs that have built very nice rigs but you are second to none.

    If you ever find yourself questioning your work or the time it takes to complete that work, just know you’re better than 90% of people in the world with similar aspirations. Keep doing what you’re doing. We don’t have many content creators in our part of the country. Every time you post I learn something and get inspired to do better.
    As always, nice job Austin! I subscribe to a lot of Chanel’s but very few have the patience, skill and talent that you put into the projects/videos.

  • @MonkeyWithAWrench
    @MonkeyWithAWrench 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    make sure you have a good amount of travel left in your t-case shifter lever when its at the furthest forward and rear gears. when I did a link on my doubler in my samurai similar to that I had issues with the doubler popping out of gear because of how much it moved. with the urethane mounts its not going to be as bad as mine was I'm sure, but if its close to bottoming as is, it might pop it out.
    but bro, that console is phenomenal

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks!! Yeah I hope it will be ok! There is a little extra travel!

  • @harijurada6058

    As always totally worth the wait. Really enjoy just seeing it all come together. Looks fantastic. This is going to be a great rig when it is completed. Austin you really should consider putting these on display at SEMA. Perhaps even a special SEMA build. I know that you have used all the right bits and parts. To make this a strong and dependable vehicle. I just hope you use it for practical off road trips. Not bouncing it off the rocks and such. So it destroys all the work that you have invested in it.

    Hello from Pakistan! I just watched this video on crafting the gear console and seats for the FJ, and I'm beyond impressed. Your dedication and craftsmanship shine through in every detail. It's amazing to witness the transformation of FJ.
    Keep up the fantastic work buddy!
    Your passion for this project is truly inspiring and resonates across borders. Can't wait to see the next steps in this incredible build.

    Waiting two weeks for the next video sucks I actually had to search for your channel to make sure I didn’t miss one lol. But I understand why it takes so long and appreciate the work that goes into the build ! It’s a trade off that we as viewers are going to have to get used to some times

  • @supdus
    @supdus 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    you should put some led back lighting inside the cut outs in the center console - would just be a really cool touch.
    Love this build - the fabrication is on par - by far my favorite episode

  • @CGGarage
    @CGGarage 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Bro this video was sick. I loving the interior series more than the outside not gonna lie. the little vent ports you got on the driver side of the center console, you should add some mesh in there to cover up the innards of that area. Would give it a clean look, but let it breathe. GREAT VIDEO BRO!!!!

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey thanks!! I might do mesh there, although I do like it as is!

    Just a suggestion. Since you take your time to do quality work, for the outro you should show the work in detail slowly going over it with the camera so we can see it in better detail.

    Austin! Great video, not gonna lie the wait was killing me but at the end it was totally worth the wait, love the console design but if I can give you my opinion, I think you should add to the console an arm rest you can flip down when you need it and flip up when you just need it out of the way, trust me, an arm rest is always useful on short and long rides haha either way, great video as always, keep at it

  • @tysonparker7403
    @tysonparker7403 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Looks great. In my opinion the screws would look better if they were the same color as the center console. Really impressive.

  • @rookbloodthirst
    @rookbloodthirst 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Not too sure on the type of wheeling youll be doing, but if alot of bouncing is involved, look into the PRP seats. They hold you in well while hitting major obstacles. Also for the extra couple dollars you can add heat to the seats ( we know it gets cold there lol). Just a future upgrade to keep in mind. Looks great other wise!

    Just a suggestion, but you’re talented enough to expand your mastery of materials; maybe use fiberboard or other lightweight materials to make the console. That’s a lot of heavy metal for the console, maybe you could save some weight using another material. Love your content! Keep up the great work! 👍

    Another outstanding episode! You are a craftsmen to say the least! I think the beau on the seats is pronounced bo. I don't know how you would do it and make it look good, but I would be nervous as hell having that fuel tank in the vehicle. I just don't know how you would make a fire blanket look good. Maybe a fire extinguisher behind the seat programmed to go off if the tank goes up in flames?

    Personally I would prefer a console vault instead of the cup holders. Cups in that location will likely encounter a lot of elbow contact. A lockable vault in a vehicle that accessible is a valuable thing to have. Lots of other options for cup holders even if single ones would be necessary. You really do come up with some great ideas and work around solutions.

    Interior looks absolutely incredible, bro. Loving the work and attention to detail!
    One concern, though: The left bracket on the driver's seat seems a bit too wide and "in the way". Could probably knick a knee or leg when you're entering the rig; especially with those sharp corners. Maybe take a look at that? Or do you plan to cover/carpet it?
