Great job on this build man !! I have always loved Toyota's, and have owned many V-Dubs... Love that TDI power plant !!

[@jimmadonna1436]

Yes!!! I can't believe how great the Black on Red looks. Those motor mounts really work well. I thought you found a place to mount the camera so it didn't vibrate as much. Or, because of the tires. I'm stoked for you BRO!

[@jim9310]

I would love to have that truck even more than before. Great job love the build!

[@Pauloafff]

So awesome it is almost done , the struggle is real but when we keep fighting we can win 👍 awesome job since day one

[@stephanredpath9778]

Man, this guy can build!!

[@scottblake6850]

Looks good ! Nice job can't wait for the next video

[@JEREMY120983]

the bomb! beautiful job!! i love very much this truck!!!

[@thatsurf1639]

Hell yeah man! The last thing it needs is a black stainless snorkel, would set it off perfectly 👌👌

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

She’s running great

[@Sufficient_Distance]

nice work. don't skip leg day!

[@ronthompson2366]

Looking good so far. Good to see it's coming to a end... then what lol... ah no worries, one step at a time. Doing it right.

[@germanlaragajardo3103]

Quedo muy bueno el motor felicidades , esperando el próximo video de tu Toyota saludos desde Santiago de Chile

[@boodrowmalone75]

Looks like first class work. Nice.

[@claudesz]

Looks awesome mate👍👍

[@rmwallis5943]

Good God that thing is awesome!

[@thomasmurphy5906]

Sounds really good 😎

[@MrInnovativeEnergy]

Sweet spot on most diesels including semi's is 215F. Pullin 80,000 lb on a long grade can get up to 230F. That also includes the 12V/24V cummins light truck engines. 4bt and other 4 cyl diesel should not be that different. Nice job on the build!

[@gorillagoldhunters]

Awesome!!

[@smplyizzy]

From the little shown it’s not smoking like it used to. Also looks like it could use an alignment. Do any tacoma‘s or 4 Runners utilize an under hood insulation pad? If so, that would really help to finish the Under hood.

Iit looks great

[@miketrucker8186]

sounds good

[@wyattcum5.4]

Sick

[@williamdabbert8213]

I wonder what the mpg is going to be with that thing...awesome truck! I've got the same motor in my '02 jetta, 300k miles and still going strong

[@austinniemela]

Im guessing 25! I havent checked yet

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

Your probe is sensing the outside temperature of the radiator only where it is touching the tubes. The rest of it is basically sensing ambient air. You need something like this to actually sense the water temperature directly instead of trying to sense it through the outside of the radiator: frsport.com/perrin-performance-asm-gau-106-coolant-hose-adapter-38mm-id-hose

[@Remydelco]

Love this!! You think the steps would be similar in a 2nd gen Taco??

[@danstrausbaugh6430]

That truck needs to have a much nicer steering wheel than the ugly stock one ... freakin gorgeous truck... it must be crazy satisfying to know you did 💯 of this build...

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

[@emilroland3515]

When you taking it on a wheeling trip ?

[@chasesettlemire312]

Did a Ls swap ever come to your mind before swap and do you think it will have enough room?

[@fastinradfordable]

Do you understand the difference between 40mpg and 20mpg. Both make similar torque.

[@nephron9924]

I dub thee a qualified TDI expert guru now.. So when can I bring my 2002 Jetta wagon to you for some special treatment!? Colorado can't be more than 2 tankfulls away from Texas right?

[@user-iq3kt4nb3q]

👍

[@Jesus-hx5vg]

She sounds so beautiful

[@MG-sg2ci]

Need to get the new wheels on it. It looks like it skipped leg day.

[@codymallernee5258]

how does it ride with the front leafs?

[@austinniemela]

cody mallernee rides pretty good actually!

[@codymallernee5258]

@@austinniemela everyone tells me the ride quality is terrible.

[@austinniemela]

cody mallernee no I don’t think so at all!

[@poormofo1]

What’s next after the pickup is done?

[@austinniemela]

poormofo1 haven’t decided yet!

[@spinnerbruce5538]

Doesn't seem to smoke as bad as before the rebuild

[@austinniemela]

Spinner Bruce no not nearly as bad! Runs much cleaner

[@avit24]

Land cruiser 80 series wiper arms after 1993 will also do the trick.... why didn't you fit a 1kzt 3.0 toyota engine? Good work with the tdi mate!

[@carholic-sz3qv]

The 1kzt 3.0 toyota diesel engine is nipot available in the USA but in South America yes it is

[@carholic-sz3qv]

Or any Toyota 2.8 tdi

[@robertpowers7856]

and where the hell would you find that motor? and parts would not be amazon prime delivery😎

[@avit24]

@@robertpowers7856 many available in the uk.. also very easy to ditch the efi pump and fit a denso ve 4 pump... nice tourquey motors but they're heavy on fuel!

[@TheEdudo]

my mercedes sprinter diesel has a 190 fahrenheit thermostat btw

[@fastinradfordable]

Don’t you mean 87c?

[@TheEdudo]

@@fastinradfordable 88°C, but i have the OM611 engine, i made the conversion to fahrenheit. That temp it is setted to start opening if my memory serves me well, but since they are wax based mechanism, there is a range allowance about +- 2°Celcius

[@Nateb4571]

what happen to your jetta thats why i watched all this thought it was going in there

[@MJPilote]

Stop babying it, youl just glaze the rings and bore. Rings will seat with pressure, and pressure only. And dont rev it before turning it off, the turbo was spinning on very high rpm when you shut her down of oil feed. Other than that, nice looking build.

[@fastinradfordable]

Good thing about vw Tdi is with 400psi compression the rings have pressure behind them. Don’t you worry.

[@MJPilote]

Nathan Brame 400psi working against the ring top surface and pushing it towards the piston ring groove and only the back of the ring surface area to push it against the bore. 400psi is nothing to seat the rings when cylinder pressure is 2000-3000psi on hard pull.

I'm sending sunscreen for your nose. Sweet sunburn man!
