One of best builds on TH-cam imo. Cage looks sweet. This just keeps getting better. It's a pleasure watching ur vids and seeing u fab and weld. Saw a land cruiser all custom with LS swap. Like a Gucci hunting vehicle. Had hidden rifle and gear compartment under back seat. Lock center console with pistol storage and ammo. How much room in back would like to see what u fab up for storage. Tow ropes etc.
Every time I watch your videos I am just amazed with how much skill you have. Always watch from beginning to end no skips.
Deep saw. You are a great fabricator and you have gave me a few ideas for my jeep build.
Deep Saws.
It appears like your harness bar is too high. The shoulder harness should wrap over the seat and your shoulders. This will prevent the body from traveling upwards in rollover conditions. Otherwise, lookin good as usual.
@Anders0nic I was just going to post the same thing. The B pillar bar should always be below your shoulders.
Do you think it's a good idea to attach the shock towers to the cage when the cage is sitting on bushings? Why don't you just attach the towers to each other with a tube wrapping around the rear seat? It would provide easier access to it from the back door and still be able to mount the harnesses
Yes. Definitely
Austin, I'm not a cage builder but, I was thinking maybe a triangulation bar between the B and C pillar would be a good addition.
Deep Saws
Another option would have been to bend a “halo” bar going from the B pillar to the windshield. This would allow you to bend the A pillar bars and fit them in between the floor and the “halo” bar at the roof line. Cuts out that last critical bend at the roof line going back to the B pillar bar.
Great build on the cage Austin !
Your fabrication skills are top notch.
Deep saw I always wanted to try them other then using a grinder
This 40 is going to be crazy when its complete. We will definitely need trail videos to see it in action!
Edit to add: I hope you keep this one Austin. This is your most labor-intensive project from what I've seen. And you're building it like a tank. Building it to last
If you take the roof off you can weld it up as much as possible in the car. You'll be able to gat around all the top welds and not burn your roof lining 🤙🏻
the editing on this video felt different in a good way i liked it
How/where do you learn these skills, this is like exactly what i want to do with my life as a hobby
Trial and error usually! Thanks!
I am amazed at your skills and the results! Watching your videos motivates me to work on my FJ40 more!
Deep Cut. Yes to your question. You need to tie it into the other shock Tower somehow. I think the 120 wall pipe will be strong enough to keep it from flexing every time you hit a bump.
Happy to see your subscriber count actually gaining momentum. This is top notch work brother
Deep saws! I wish they made a 6” deep one. I frequently have to drill though walls for my work, and a 6” deep one would mean I could drill through from one side.
Deep saws 💪🏼
These would help allot with my fab work.
Also Thanx for remaining a big inspiration man 🥹
Смотрю из России и восхищаюсь твоим мастерством. Молодец мужик, продолжай в том же духе!
You are doing a great job. Your work is so clean and precise. Cruisers are my love, I know you will have fun. One thing….. a black top?!!! Dude no! Cruisers have to have a white top. :) great job
Deep saws look like the trick for some of my upcoming projects
Your attention to detail on your builds ismind boggling. Everything you do is the best you can do as you learn to do it better. Your skills are wonderful to watch. The new hole saws add a new layer to your builds.
You even keep your shop spotless.
I will keep watching to learn more.
Deep Saw. Dude you are an inspiration I have watched every video since the flatbed build. I have learned a lot from you and use that with my own FJ62 Build. I too am doing an LS swap.
Deep saws! Thes would make my life so much easier seen as though I’m starting the cage on my drift car
“Deep Saws” this video has got me excited for building a roll gage for my 1st gen runner!
I do hope you are wearing some kind of hearing protection. With all that pipe bending, plasma cutting, and sawing, all that noise builds up.
Still need a rolling table for your cool table (?) saw. Keep up the good work. It's a pleasure to watch you figure things out.
Definitely a cool cage! It’s pretty simplistic but looks like it’ll be really effective.
I hope I speak for everyone we need more videos can't get enough of what you do
WFO customs makes a rollbar dash stanscion (their name) for CJs that bolts to the dash. It eliminates the bar to the ground. I bet if you saw one, you could fab one up for the FJ.
Deep Saws! your land cruiser is looking awesome.
Deep Saws, could definitely use on an upcoming Bronco project
Deep saws! Awesome rig, hurry up already 😊
Deep saws, I was looking at their hole saws, I have some cages and bumpers coming up and just bought a new notcher. 1.75 would be awesome.
Deep saws! Best thing I’ve seen all day.
Good job brother I love fj40,i can see you first start engine and first you drive you fj40 brother 😅😅😅
Great job I love watching your works you are an artist in numbers and measurements I wish you more progress
WDYM "LEARNING"?!!! YOU KILLED THAT CAGE YOURE AWESOME
Deep saws!. I had to tig 2 saws together onetime. These are cool
Grear work! But you need X that main bar. With out it cage is gona just fold if you roll it.
DEEP SAWS! These would be nice to try in the shop!
Deep Saws. Cage looks great,. Agree 4 point seat belts will be much easier.
Deep Saws
These would be great for building the cage and bumper on my brothers Tundra and the cage on my T100!
Sweet build as always! Awesome that deepsaws hooked you up!
Thats awesome build bro 👍👍👍
Deepsaws!! Keep up the great work. Get a lot of inspiration watching your vids.
Deep saw. Dude your Toyota flat bed inspired mine.
Deep saws. Glad you changed the b to c tubing. Way stronger.
DEEP SAW, your cage looks looks great. I'm hoping mine on my 1st Gen 4runner looks as good as yours.
Deepsaw deep saw please throw in a bender and one of those evolution saws
Deep saw. These would come in handy for sure.
Looking good but just a heads up you should never weld vertical on a chassis when you do fish plates make the ends round. Vertical welds on chassis weakens them and can cause them to break
It was -65 in my part of Alaska the other day. My Tacoma and my rav4 still started like the little bosses they are
Deep saws, I am enjoying this build and am excited to see the finished product!
Deep saws! I love watching you bending tube and it amazes me what you can do with a plasma table!
The Roll Cage is Amazing 👍🏼
Deep saws! Perfect for bike frame building. Nice work as always!
Deep saws. Glad you’re back to working on the cruiser.
Deep Saws. I could have used these so many times! What a great upgrade
Deep saws. The FJ is looking great!
Deep saws, would love to build a roll case for my 40 project
Cool.. deep saws. Thanks for the code
That cage turned out
Deep saws. Im goin to build my first motocycle frame!
Deep Saws, love fabricating!
Deep saws........loving the build, keep it up, 🍻
Great build, motivating me to build a cage for my BJ44.
"Expensive ass tube!" I heard that!
La façon de relier l'arceau au châssis du coté roues arrière, est juste magnifique, bravo !
Keeping it simple, clean and mean! 😎
Damn. that turned out so awesome. I love following this build.
Great video. Oh boy i would use those Deep Saws gladly😅
Deep saws)
Excellent performance of the safety frame.
Deep saws! Keep up the amazing builds! Love watching all the amazing fabrication projects
Deep saws, better wear helmets and seat belts with the cage tubes ! Best builds on the tube
Just a thought.... Could you take the roof off to finish the welds on top of the cage.
Deep Saws - Perfect for the roll cage for the wife and newborns car! We already have the bender and the pipes I just need them for this project so that would work out beautiful lol. Love the videos as well Austin your awesome at what you do buddy.
Sweet cage Austin. Loving the A pillars. You nailed it. Can you remove the roof for final weld? Save that headliner!
I've got the same question **695. I'm always impressed with his troubleshooting and work arounds, so it's going to be interesting when he gets to that.
That is one awesome Land Cruiser. We have several of them restored running around town here. A lot of money go into them.
Vem para o Brasi - Salvador BA= Construir várias obras de artes como essas.
You've inspired me too start a roll bar for my TJ, Deep Saw
Cmon broo !.. geting litle bit more faster !.. So that We can See the Rockn roll offroad !.. 👍🏼😂
brother i been watching this from day one and that is one beautiful rig from what it was i will be trying out those hole saws soon as i can get to that point i thank you for sharing the progress on this build have a great week and stay safe and my god blees you and your family more each day
Deep saws. I have built some rock sliders that those would have made alot easier.
DEEP SAWS 🤙🏼 your a huge inspiration my guy, keep grinding.
Deep saws!! Would love to try these out.
Deep saw..! Man I could use something like that..!
when you bed line the body - you should look at tintable bedliner and do this in a red or orange and black everything else (roof, bumpers, trim, etc
Deep saws. Great work. Lots of inspiration for my Scout build.
Deep saws!!!! love your videos huge impressions for me to keep building my 4Runner and improving my fabrication skills
Go check out Matt's off-road recovery last video they have a really good video on how they did their shock Towers in the back
Would love to try out the deepsaw hole saw
I would like a deep saws hole saw!!!
DEEP SAWS!
Love watching yours and your brothers videos man! Been watching for a long long time now. Wishing the best for you and Cam! Keep up the killer work
Love this build! Are you going to integrate some lighting onto the roll cage by chance?
Deep Saw. Love the cage! I’ve been planning something similar.
“Deep saws”
Excellent work
Outstanding job, I see some very nice new equipment. I never got past the sand in the tube stuff. Your best build to date if that's even possible.
hi, that's going to be an awesome truck... but I would advise you to turn the gas struts on the tailgate as they will leak very quickly. The oil in the cylinder doesn't have the opportunity to lubricate the seal...
Love watching the builds
Awesome work as usual, can't you remove the roof to access the top of the cage? I know you had it mocked in position when you repaired it.
