    Turned out amazing!!!
    Please paint the interior blue trim pieces!

      I think he should carbon fiber vinyl wrap them

      Reece Schmit so tacky and overdone

    The FJ was such an awesome build!

    • @sieve5
      @sieve5 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I agree super relatable build for me to watch, plus it turned out better than I expected. Really close to the concept rendering.

    • @kroniical3830
      @kroniical3830 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yea, it turned out way cooler than I expected. I didn't think that the liner would look very good as paint, but it makes the truck look so aggressive.

    @spacetrucker2196 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've had mine for 10 years. You did the right mods and didn't do stupid things. Great truck.

    Wish I had those awesome gravel mountain roads here, would love to rip them in the Rally Miata! Awesome build Chris!

    The bedliner really made this build. Turned out SO good.

  • @wangchi623
    @wangchi623 7 ปีที่แล้ว +64

    B is for Build Completed!

    • @Avetho
      @Avetho 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's wonderful to see once in a while :)
      Glad it doesn't happen too often though, because if it did we'd have nothing to watch, eh?

  • @sieve5
    @sieve5 7 ปีที่แล้ว +316

    Car looks fucking amazing in those final shots great job Chris. Another build finished!

    • @xzumberts
      @xzumberts 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I bet he will still add so much more to it though.

    • @SH-ry2xi
      @SH-ry2xi 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea but how much did he spend on parts?

  • @shawnprickett4099
    @shawnprickett4099 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Great build Chris the only things I would personally do is paint the for jams black to match and get wheels with maybe a -35 offset so they poke out a little bit more make they flares look like they are doing something.

  • @StripeyType
    @StripeyType 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great build! I got my first FJ Cruiser back in December - not as inexpensively as you were able to but mine also didn't need all that work. ;)
    It's great to see what you've done, here.

  • @1972dsrai
    @1972dsrai 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    $5k, wow an amazing deal and the way you finished it is simply beautiful. I would happily drive that thing as my daily driver and have something small and fast for the weekend. London, uk

  • @RedllineRolla
    @RedllineRolla 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What a beautiful yet rugged FJ, that paint tells you exactly what the car is all about, I love that

  • @liftedkia6693
    @liftedkia6693 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Makes it look so easy, people normally don't realize how much work something like this can be. Good work.

  • @f0rg0rr
    @f0rg0rr 7 ปีที่แล้ว +98

    Please spray the door jams, either than that mad build

  • @doobtubes
    @doobtubes 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good job! Thats why i love this channel even when you lost your job you still made shit happen and nothing stopped you, great work as usual

  • @Nickorator
    @Nickorator 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly amazes me how you can dedicate yourself to get every aspect of your cars the way you want it. Every project turns out great.

  • @erniebetos2322

  • @PaulDGreen-bu4iz
    @PaulDGreen-bu4iz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got you beat, LOL! I just bought a 2007 this past weekend for $4,350. It’s the same color and all! It needs some work as well! Thank you for sharing!

  • @SparksDan
    @SparksDan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mental how you can break all those hard hours of work into a 4:36 video. Great work Chris! Looking forward to the next one

  • @p_gt3276
    @p_gt3276 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The FJ is the reason I found this channel, and it's awesome to finally see it finished.

  • @jackiechan_wtf4041
    @jackiechan_wtf4041 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I kinda started tearing up when the FJ was going through the woods. To see a beat up FJ and now an awsome looking SUV is quite amazing.

  • @b3passat19
    @b3passat19 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    you need to do this with every build. I could only imagine what an accomplishment it must feel like to have this FJ built and to watch this after all that hard work. you really should feel proud. keep it up man I have been enjoying your videos for some time now and look forward to seeing many more.

  • @nulcable
    @nulcable 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice to see the fj looked after and restored. Nice one

  • @baxrok2.
    @baxrok2. 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats Chris! IMO the brilliant part of this isn't so much the repairs that you did (they're great) but that you found a vehicle at a great price that could be fixed and fixed up reasonably. You've got Co-Part skills and finding a good vehicle for a build is just as important as fixing and finishing it! Thanks!

  • @filthywrx179
    @filthywrx179 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I really enjoyed this build. Awesome FJ

  • @travisbreaux2463

    @unclegrandpah8400 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @INKEDCREATIONS
    @INKEDCREATIONS 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    this is probably my favorite build you have done, and im a mustang lover so that should say something. great job on the collaboration video.

  • @ShadeAstray
    @ShadeAstray 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @JQ_Unity
      @JQ_Unity 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      got our 2008 for 8k. had a cluster swapped on it at some point, the actual engine mileage is more around 230k but the cluster reads 120k. If the person selling it didn't tell us that, we would of never known unless plugging in a code reader, it's in pretty damn good shape and that rare dark purple color

    • @barccat
      @barccat 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you plan on putting a new engine in when it dies? Seems like a big risk/waste of money otherwise.

    • @colimamx693

  • @infidel24
    @infidel24 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Does not having the door jams and other parts that are blue not painted bother you? Just wondering, I know it would crush my ocd.
    Otherwise it's an amazing job.

    • @thegod50
      @thegod50 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      don198769 Its a very delicate and slightly difficult process to do in all vehicles.
      I got my car painted in the past and painting in the doorjams alone was an extra $600 so i opted out.
