Black wheels on a set of 33~35 Patagonia tires! 👍🏼

[@jeremyb5293]

Wasn’t sure how much I was liking the rear bumper until I saw it on the truck, definitely did a fantastic job on it looks absolutely amazing!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!!

[@brycepalmquist425]

Your literally my favorite person that creates content your such a inspiration to go out there and get stuff done!! Keep up the good work love the videos man 🤘🏻

[@austinniemela]

Thank you I appreciate it!!

[@ttinnovations3310]

Awesome !! love this channel, its just a regular guy, with tools, skills, smarts, motivation, and building cool stuff, no flashy cheesy fluff

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man! I appreciate it!

[@campfather]

Black steelies + mud terrains. Black steelies would look so good on that.

[@luke8952]

Method wheels wrapped in some 33" Cooper S/T MAXX or S/T PROS would look sick.

[@trentyoung1135]

Super clean bumper

[@paulevanson9947]

The detail and craftsmanship is just beautiful! Love the builds.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!

[@gustavomerlos2337]

Simply the best doing that..!

[@wickedkustumz]

Love your work dude. Just wanted to pass a little tip, I have heard that when using weld through primer, you want a very thin coat of zinc enriched primer for steel. Zinc to help stop galvanic reaction, and thin coat to keep from messing the welds up.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! I was using zinc weld through primer!

[@Ducatisti92]

I simply spray some thinner with my gun when I finish painting and I call it clean.. Doing that for years and had no issues

[@twotwentyswift]

Does that work with raptor liner?

[@davidmoon2123]

I love the Shoshone license plate. Even though it hasn’t been registered in 18 years. I’m not in Shoshone but I live in North Idaho. Nice job as usual.

[@Shrek-is-Love]

Looks so good! Would definitely use your templates if you did bumpers for your wife's 3rd gen!

[@willb3018]

Great looking rear bumper.....to match the great looking front bumper. You really have a knack for those bumpers. Nice solution for the plate.

[@twotwentyswift]

The market for 2nd gens is much bigger than 1st gens. Hoping to see some plans for 2nd gens soon!

[@fixupapickuptruck6100]

That hinge was ingenious!

[@FlynDirty1]

Nice job Austin.

[@jp2246]

Sweet build

[@poormofo1]

Super clean

[@micahzionkaipat1469]

Nice work.. simple and clean.

[@MussaKZN]

When putting a bars on or rock rails ect I use a office chair minus the back rest with a adjustable gas base, It’s like you personal (padded) hydraulic lift. Nice work again Bro! Edit:: how TF can people thumb down this video! Lighting good Content, good Concise and to the point, good Audio editing and backing track, good Well spoken, good Toyota, good AAAHHHAA THE NISSAN and JEEP PEOPLE ARE BACK!!

[@austinniemela]

Good tip!

[@realaussiemale567]

Looking forward to seeing what’s next to receive your creative touch. 🇦🇺👍🏻

[@bigospig]

That bumper (and all your work) is NICE! You could do a how-to and Raptor line those rims and put some spacers on for a budget solution until you get ideal wheels/tires.

[@alfredace]

Ive really enjoyed this build. I have a 91 regular cab Pickup myself. Just want to throw out my opinion. Im aware that the 20 inch rims like on the red truck have been fashionable for a long time now but I feel they look too cheesy. The old school big sidewall/small rim combo looks proper on these trucks. Plus the ability to air down and get flotation and grip is huge. I'm sure you'll pick the look you want, but some black 15 inch steelies and some 33x12.5x15 tires would look great on this machine.

[@itsyaboibdb1369]

A set of soft 8’s and some 33 inch KM3’s would look badass.

[@drivefortright9662]

It came out really well .. quality job

[@BCRyot]

Truck looks great

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@carlosmartoral6268]

Rear bumper came out really nice.

[@meks8086]

Daaamn that’s a nice ass bumper.. love that it’s black and not chrome.

[@Road-LessTraveled]

You should ride by the old owners place when you get it done and get their reaction lol

[@thomasbayley663]

You should do a lobster back 4" stainless snorkel next 😁

[@jasoncaston4557]

Awesome job

[@davidmoffitt981]

Absolutely fantastic. IF I could suggest one thing, use a rubber gromet for the plate wire where it passes through the back.

[@abpsd73]

Easy way for the plate mount is hit the pick your part yard and grab a plate frame from a 70s/early 80s car that had the fuel filler behind the plate. Spring loaded and ready to go.

[@temawaemcallister4244]

Now that you have done a front and rear bumper you may aswell do the full bar-wprk all around and make some rock sliders and a headache rack

[@joshtd2995]

Austin, Glue some thin rubber over the magnets this will reduce the magnetism and dampen it when it closes.

[@shanesgettinghandy]

I know you already sold this truck, but I was considering this bumper build, and I did notice a slight issue guys might want to consider if they go forward with it. The access hole for the spare tire hoist is possibly partially blocked, and may be a challenge to get to. Lowering the bumper by half an inch or maybe less would probably solve this. Maybe it's hard to actually tell unless you can see it in person, but just keep an eye out for this when mounting.

[@richardwallinger1683]

nice work. great spray finish.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@adventurousairman]

Great Work Friend

[@jackrichards1863]

Great piece of work bruiser!

[@jeremyshaw6624]

I love the truck and the bumpers but Please don’t put big ass ghetto rims one this one please please please

[@kostaszisis689]

Very nice job i am waiting for the next video very soon

[@125sm3]

Looking good dude

[@carmenjackson1972]

I always like before I watch because I know it’s gonna be fire 🔥 👌🏼

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@ronthompson2366]

Looks great.. the whole truck is looking great. Just enjoying the journey and looking forward to seeing what's next. Me, I would stick a shell on the back of it lol... but hey who am I lol... just a good looking little truck so far. Everything else you do is just that ahh factor now.

[@tsstarlin]

I’m not sure how I came across your channel, but I’m glad I did. I’ve just binged all the Toyota build videos! Awesome work! I can wait for the next episode.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man! And welcome!!

[@ryleechurch6278]

Maybe a set of method 703’s with some nittos? I feel like the bronze color would compliment the raptor liner well

[@jrfuapapaqueen3225]

Awesome DIY legit bro! bravo!

[@65Coasty]

Man, I've been watching your series of vids and I'm impressed. I work for Toyota in Australia fitting factory bars. Yours look awesome. Well done.

[@CB-hr6zs]

Good stuff bro looks real clean

[@jeffbailey7765]

The Yota would look with a set of rocker sliders / nerf bars. The Yota is looking good.

[@crewzero3586]

Nicely done sir

[@thefun-v2466]

You're very inspiring and I enjoy your creative solutions and process. Idaho is cool, I once had to deliver a Mazda B-series to Pocatello and spend a couple nights in Lava. It's beautiful up there.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

[@austin7smith3]

Man this thing I think would set this truck off is black flares and either the color match wheels or desert tan wheels but it's you truck love the content and keep up the great work man you bust your ass for your trucks and channel

[@conradapao1107]

Love the paint work 💟💯💥 Too good💯

[@terrancewagner5056]

very nice

[@dalton8813]

could put some small pieces of tape on the bumper, maybe a few layers haha. Great job, I built two for mine. Really fun and looks way better.

[@jeepie1964]

That is a very nice video with explanation and a great result.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you very much!

[@jordanhendrickson1484]

Love watching these videos gives me ideas and a chance to help someone out. Beauty job.

[@scottkailey1]

Great job as always!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks again!

[@paulking6404]

Very COOL! I just recently found your channel so I'm binge watching LOL Getting me motivated to try my hand at building my own bumpers for our '74 CJ5👍🏼😁

[@josephdejesus8125]

I like the bumpers.

[@farkookneebah]

Turned out great, can't wait to see what's next

[@niveknospmoht8743]

Did a hidden hitch mount on my chevy truck 30 years ago. Used a spring plate mount off of (i think) a buick

[@scottblake6850]

Looks really good! Can't wait to see what wheels you pick out

[@JeffGoDawgs]

You make everything look so simple but you are just good like that excellent job 👍🏻

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!! Video makes everything look easy!

[@mikesteele8384]

Looks good buddy.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@martinneps9387]

I would have put extra reverse lights mounted in this bumper That is for sure I would have put the same lights that I put in the front it's that I put in the front in the back please comment back if you feel the same

[@buildadventure404]

Great video cool bumper! Great Idea with the Magnets! I was going to message you to do something like that. For Wheels on the Cheap, Raptor Line your wheels black and put Either 33x10.5r15 or 255/85R16 depending on your wheel size.

[@henrymaradiaga9069]

GREAT JOB MAN, I´VE BEEN WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS FROM HONDURAS CENTRAL AMERICA. I MIGHT CONSIDER WORK IN MY OWN TOYOTA WITH SOMETHING LIKE YOUR WORK. I KNOW IT WON´T BE EXACTLY LIKE YOURS BUT I´LL TRY. MY BEST FOR YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. MANY BLESSINGS.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!!

[@rosswheatley1577]

Raptor lined black steel/ alum rims. 16” or 17” maybe a 33” tire. Just my take. Well done done sir

[@thomashopper3705]

Love a new video,in physics class rn

[@TheIndecisive0]

Awesome video as always. The raptor liner really tied the bumper up nicely, looks sick. Also, I think over time just due to wear from dirt and debris, those magnets will lose some of there holding strength. So maybe it's a good thing they're so damn strong.

[@gerardcurran8664]

Quality as always.....you have some serious skills💪👌🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@neffwai]

Thank u for the content and the knowledge of doin amazing work flawlessly. I plan on using them on my T100

Thanks!!!

[@frankfilippone9679]

I'm actually about to buy the 600$ TG bumper for my 03 Tacoma, would it be worth it to you to make another one of these puppy's? I'd rather give you the money if it's worth it? If not I understand, I live in long island NY we could probably figure out the shipping? But like I said it would have to worth it for you?

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Are you going to keep this truck Austin or Flip it? I wasn't sure how the hidden hitch was going to turn out, You killed it!

I’ll be selling this one when I’m done!!
