Fixing My Frame Issues ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!! 1 Ton LS Powered FJ40 Build

[@Niko-iw1sr]

Man this project just keeps getting better and better with each video. Good work Austin!

[@mikediamond257]

Wow... blown away by your ability and tenacity to just keep moving forward no matter the issue. Taken from an engine swap to widening the frame rails??.. you sir, would make engineers jealous! New respect for you sir. So good to watch a REAL process with trial and error included.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!! No quitting at this point!!

[@GAPS67]

Dang Austin that was a ton of work! You definitely fixed it but I was tired just watching lol

[@tombrenes2411]

Awesome build series Love all the hard work Great content

[@التاريخ-لن-يرحمنا]

More room is more relaxing now I like this project

[@allenhorne7032]

I think you made a great decision, you have all kinds of room and no limits now! Keep up the great work Austin!

[@CTMadModz]

This is gonna be a sweet wheeler when you’re done dude, great work

[@thurstonw1]

This man has skills 🤯

[@QuickAF]

One day I'll have enough shop to take on a task like this, nice work

[@FlawedOffroad]

longer tracbar is good, try to match the length/angle of the drag link to make it handle better. I would have never taken on that job of frame widening, cool to see you make it look easy

[@box4aza]

My man doesn’t cut the corners! 👏

[@billyjewett5006]

I’m doing the same thing with an 80 series. 6.0 LS, TH400, Atlas, three link in front and four in the back, fully caged inside on 42’s.

[@pacificnorthwest9416]

I would be so satisfied going back to make things right. Excellent effort my guy!

[@CrisParada]

Got lee this man is a damn genius! A1 Everything Bro 🔥 LOVE FROM TEXAS BROTHER!

[@mikeingalsbee2959]

I like your thought process and the execution.

[@SubePelayo928]

Look into the Toyota IFS steering box. A lot of videos on how to convert it over to run a ram assist too. I’m running FJ80 axles on my 4runner and stuck with the ifs steering box

[@unclejesse88]

Hahahah, pro level editing with the clickbait style thumbnail and the gunshot sound effects! I thought it was going to be tough to spread the frame with your frame plates fully welded on, but you made it look easy. Ive enjoyed every video you have put out.

[@markwelliver2566]

Just catching up on your build! this frame stretch was epic! your editing makes it all look so easy but i know it was a TON of work! Great content, I'm on to the next one!

[@austinniemela]

Hey! Yes what a lot of work that was but made so much more room for my suspension! Thank you!!

[@like2hunt]

Bleepin Jeep had a ported steering box they can’t use on their on-X build. Might be the exact thing you’re lookin for!

[@shawnszilezy2439]

Absolutely killer work man!! Loving the series thus far...keep up the incredible fab work.

[@CB-hr6zs]

It’s always a good day when we get a upload

[@JoshD10]

Love how those motor mounts came out. I do think they should be more under the engine rather than next to it.

[@rsage_]

Me at work getting the day started slow clapping to this episode. Wow. Well done, sir. It's hard to have to scrap a plan to begin all over; especially after all the work you did. The result is incredible, though. The strengthening of the frame will also go a long way when you start flexing that thing.

[@TyroneNorman-j2i]

Wow what a difference, much more room, looks really good Keep it going love your channel Mate !!

[@nazoe83]

👏 *teruslah berkarya dengan sajian video yang lengkap & teliti, saya suka..*

[@Miamisillest786]

Awesome day when the niemela brothers upload at the same time 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@paengsolo2047]

So satisfying watching your videos.

[@gghffgbddghhhffgfffg4671]

Better than mumtaz Genius work ❤❤

[@DFCustomPro]

Man you do nice work, a good weld true primer is copper weld true, I used it at my job for 10 years plus, and it the best I used

[@C-J-Outdoors]

Austin, don't know why you just didn't pull the body off and widen the whole frame, body mounts could have been cut to accommodated the widening, never understood why Toyota made those frames so close. Looks good, hope it works out for you. Jay

[@bradywilliams2666]

This is common practice with guys building Jeepsters. As the frames are parallel and only 25.5" wide inside.

[@hammersworkshop5206]

Cheaper than modifying the axle I guess. Custom fenders and mounts here you come. I am doing a similar build and need to update my channel.

[@austinniemela]

Yup! Cheaper and solves a few other issues

[@ronthompson2366]

Nicely done 😎👍 This is the fun stuff.. and it only gets better.

[@Steve-vz3ud]

Good Welds and Engineering

[@kealahau6727]

Incredible builder....

[@TheNickademas1]

Oh yea congrats on reaching 200k subs Austin! I have been subscribed when you had less than 200. Good for you man.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you! You've been here a while!!!

[@TheNickademas1]

@@austinniemela heck y dude you have a good balance of explaining and showing the process without just skipping and fast forwarding through stuff I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

[@hiredgoon4269]

Great thumbnail.

[@tiammax]

Very good job and Nice idea 😮🤗😜

[@beamerreamer]

You are a fabricating BADASS sir...loving this build

[@mahdialsenussi3066]

Nice work ❤️ 👍

[@dannywright3128]

Have u thought about trying to set the track bar behind the axle?

[@kcwyrick7947]

Would it have been easier to modify the axle shafts by shortening one side and lengthening the other

[@bradywilliams2666]

Damn only 24" wide inside! That's worse then my son's 70 Jeepster. It's 25.5" wide inside and is too damn tight for a LS. I made the frame in my CJ buggy 29" wide inside to get some room. This will make the exhaust so much easier and should solve the driveshaft issue. As for a steering box. You may consider a saginaw box. As they are smaller then the Yota box you have now. The CJ, XJ ones mount inside the frame and the 73-87 Chevy 2wd mount on the outside. These have the normal rear side to side swing. I used an XJ one on the Jeepster and a PSC CJ one on my crawler. If you take the XJ stock arm and heat it up and bend it flat it gives you a 6.75" swing hole to hole. Been running one on the CJ since I built it in 2008.

[@bossman0534]

ESAB sponsor this guy!

[@joesobaski1966]

Keep going! Getting interesting.

[@MrTapanes]

Austin, any way we can get this video's thumbnail to be a mural on your garage wall?

[@cmac956]

Hi , you make it look easy . good job , looks good .

[@davidtaylor3544]

Unbelievable amount of work!

[@fozealtorkelibya7131]

Nice ... Very nice and good work

[@mohammed1352002]

Awesome work...

[@melodicchronic5181]

Do you actually find Toyota Pick Ups in the salvage yards there?? I have never seen one. Only 4 Runners, and usually not my year. I've been needing parts for my '92 Pick Up for years and can't find them.

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

One day I’ll be Confident enough in my welds to cut my frame

[@bobbyjones2363]

R you going to reuse the front crossmember?(if so you want be able to tell)

why dont you wanna do full hydro?

[@jeffgreenwood5159]

Are you going to have a issue with fitting the aprons now ?

[@davefury66]

😎👍🏼💯🔥🍺

[@jeffreyzuniga518]

For that problem they use the fj80 frame

[@Notfinalcut]

Why didn’t you just start with a 80 series chassis ?

[@Allfather88]

Check out this build on how this guy worked around the pitman arm to mount a longer panhard bar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjUmnRnZdmHZqc

[@Allfather88]

Build is a guy installing a fj80 steering box on a land rover
