@@raidmax1098 I agree 😃
I agree … there is no one else on YT … that does it like our guy Austin, such meticulous attention to every detail not to mention the level of fab skills !! top notch …👍
Yeahhhh bro!! Gonna look so mean coming down the road
@@CameronNiemela yes!!!! Cant wait to rip it
Hope you’re doing good man! Been a fan of the bike builds in the past and was actually thinking about you recently. Keep up the fight homie!
I’ve watched from the very beginning of this build. I’m super impressed and proud of you bro. I was anxious for this maiden drive. Well done bro
@@KennyHepundjua-ff2fd thanks! It was a very short maiden voyage haha
Don’t think anyone has ever gone to the trouble of powder coating a heater box, but of course you do! Uncompromising in all your work! Well done 🎉
@@elijahsparrow966 well I had to at this point!! 👍
Custom can get frustrating at times but end will be worth it all!!
@@Jackt-3 yeah it sure can get frustrating!
Without a doubt! My favorite build to date. The classic lines of the FJ are timeless! Give yourself a break! This thing is a one off, full custom, rock star! 😎
@@dezfan thanks! I love the FJ look as well
It looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing the FJ flex.
Long day working on my shop and backyard, now finishing my day with some dinner and the FJ build video. Life is good
Definitely enjoyed it! Can't smash the like button enough haha It's in trial mode and I'm sure it will all get smoothed out. At least your drive shafts and steering work after all the customizations. I'll bet it feels good to see it moving. Question: are you gonna put the original FJ grill back on the front??
@@stevicerated yes it’s coming together!! Yea I have to paint to grill still!
@@austinniemela I've thumbs up'd every video of the build since the beginning. Can't wait to see that thing on some rough roadin!
This has been one of my favorite builds so far. Sweet ass Yota.
@@tysonparker7403 thanks man!
Got to be one of the most patient people on earth so
When he says it’s frustrating, I can only imagine. Happy for you to get it to drive Austin!
Hi , your channel is amazing; I've never seen this type of car build before. We would like to promote part of your videos in some video/s report about your channel. We will add your link, your name, and your work will be mentioned in the video.
Seeing you on sitting on the box for a seat gave me a chuckle. It reminded me of my first project car, a 72 firebird, I was so exited to get it running I put a five gallon bucket to sit on. My friend and I took it for a test drive. I rapped the throttle and we both ended up in the back seat, hilarious. Luckily, I was able to scramble up to the front before we hit anything. Good times!
Haha that's awesome!!!
That so satisfying been watch all your builds. And once you see it rolling you know the builds almost done. Keep up the hard work! And the killer builds.
One thing I’d recommend to you I just bought one my self off Amazon is a coolant funnel. Attaches to the rad cap and also comes with a plug to prevent spill once it’s bled.
@@jordanhendrickson1484 thanks! Yes I need to pick one of those funnels up!
Congrats Austin on your first drive
I think you need to name it " Skippy " for all of the skippin it did backin out of the shop
That thing looks like a beast
@@allenwilson9656 haha thanks man!
You need to think about going to SEMA!! 🏆 🍻 ✌️
I think I just realized you got two other brothers with channels as well that are into other motorsports that are very entertaining. You guys are awesome!
I assume your brothers. You guys look just alike! lol
Either way keep up the hustle!! 🔥🔥
@@Sawyer_Garrett yeah man we all love engines! Thanks!
Nice work. Stay resilient. Much respect with the work you’ve done. Keep the vid’s pumping.
Very nice! I just finished my FJ60 LS swap and had similar shit. ended up being a bad coil harness. Are you throwing any codes?
@@brplatz I don’t see any codes yet! My tuner said it wouldn’t idle very good till he dialed the tune it so hoping that’s all it is!
SO SICK!!!!! Great to see it move on its own power!
It's magnificent! How lucky to be able to transform a vehicle in this way, in my country (France) it will not even be possible one day to change the color! Beautiful work! This is a BJ40 owner who tells you! ------trad google---Il est magnifique ! Quelle chance de pouvoir transformer un vehicule de cette maniere, dans mon pays (France ) il ne serra meme plus possible un jour de changer la couleur ! Beau travail ! C'est un proprietaire de BJ40 qui vous le dit !
I bet that was a great feeling ! Tune time !
As a fellow FJ40 owner, I approve this build 😂.
Nice work!
Awesome! Thank you!
Lol, 98 degrees come central Cali that's awesome weather in the summer 👍
A superb job overall. Well done
Congratulations buddy. Turned out sick 👊🏼
Man I’ve been watching from the start and seeing your excitement made me happy
Your tuner will figure that out, dont worry. But for me you need a folate on the rear just to make it look complete , nice job
Simply the coolest thing I’ve seen you build
Great job on the first drive Austin! Been following you since way back and this has to be one of my favourite builds so far. Your attention to details is insane and the ability to make so many custom parts gives me serious envy 🤩 can’t wait to see the 40 finished 😎
@@rizo_gti7263 thank you!!
Agree with other comments, no one else on TH-cam that I have seen is at this level. Most do half baked hack jobs and have over baked egos. Hopefully that axle seal just got damaged when you installed the axles, and it's not a concentricity issue. The FJ70 I bought had a spun rear axle bearing that was so bad, the axle seal wasn't concentric with the axle. Ended up machining a short axle stub to see what was going on, and it was just "slightly" off center. Used some JBWeld to build up the housing where the seal sits, and thank the Lord, she's leak free. I feel your pain brother.
Congrats!!! It's all coming together!!!
Fantastic........now for the final steps. You got this my man. Congrats!
@@waynemccuen8213 thank you! So close!!
outstanding and awesome.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Nice build AN!
Love this channel, you do great work and love the fj.
There is so much dedication to your projects. You should consider to change your business to classic car restoration. There's a lot more money to make.
Nevertheless I like these projects more...
This thing is a BEAST!! Kudos to you, you did an amazing job!!
Awesome work Austin!! biggest build yet!!
If it droops to much strap it in the center. Wont loose any articulation at the wheels.
@@gregyoung46 I think I’ll try this 👍
😎👍 slow close... along way from the start of the build... just yards from the finish line... best part of any build 👌 Great job it looks fantastic. It's going to be fantastic.
@@ronthompson2366 thanks man! Getting real close!
Congrats its alive. Keep up all the hard work you do. You have inspired my son and I to build a jeep together.
@@donkov5322 thanks! That’s awesome!!! 👍
You and your builds are bad ass! The FJ is absolutely beautiful! You'll get the bugs worked out. You are an inspiration Austin! Really enjoy all your videos!
You can add one limit strap in the center to keep both sides from drooping all the way at the same time, yet still retain all of your articulation travel.
@@jamesolivier3192 that’s a good idea!
Unparalleled work my man.
@@tylersmith293 thanks man!
You are doing so good to the fj40
Heck yeah! Congrats on first drive. You'll get the wrinkles ironed outta man! 💪
@@Zechimus thanks man!! Yeah it all just takes time to work out the little issues!
Sorry the first drive wasn't so smooth but love the progress and product!
Big congratulations to you cause finished as good we all very interesting olso to see it
Man that was white knuckled! I like the beard fill in, the porno mustache guy had me cracking up! Are you going to try and build fenders for the read? Thats a tough call withe these FJs being narrow and then with one tons in them. You get there, home stretch now! No more porn guy mustache, unless you add 70s policeman mirrored sunglasses! lololol Looking great!
Bro I cannot wait for you to do the interior. Been waiting on that!! Also, make this rig into a shirt or sticker or something. I'd buy that.
Very beautiful and good work
What was dripping on the passenger side front when you were backing out
@@kerrywaldrop4546 water! I washed off all the coolant from bleeding!
I had an old truck I restored. I had to drive it to interior shop on milk crate. I fell off crate on way there (on freeway) and pulled Steering wheel to one side and did a 360 on the freeway. Came to a prefect stop facing the freeway (and in the middle) and everyone else stopped looking at me. Got up straightened out crate looked at everyone gave them a friendly wave and took off…
@@joerouth6255 dang that sounds like a fun ride haha
It's been a long journey love your work 👌🏻
Whats the plan with that old 650 in the background?? I just finished up building mine out. I build custom length handlepoles for em if you're interested.
Good stuff! Getting close!
Super dope!
Best looking FJ40 in TPNW!
You’re doing a awesome job bro 😎
Amazing WORK ❤️ 👍🏼

This brings me waaaayyy back. My father drove one of those when I was a kid. He worked as a farm inspector and livestock commissioner..took him all over our small island and for ice cream on the weekends.
