FJ CRUISER BUDGET BUILD IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES

Couple months ago I picked up this 2008 fj cruiser and wanted to make one video on the build. I’m about 4k into this build with lift, wheels, tires, bumper, snorkel, exhaust and some other stuff. Let me know what you think.
Eibach lift
Stealth custom series wheels
Accelera tires
Mbrp exhaust
Coastal off-road bumper
Amazon snorkel
Clazzio leather seat covers
Nardi steering wheel
Custom decals

just swooped up a 2008 FJ from a local dealership that had it in shop for less than a few days. its a bit ugly but fixable. when i got there i looked underneath and the frame/exhaust HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST/WEAR it is insane how awesome it is. they are giving me new tires and a brand new windshield. the paperwork is done and im waiting for the call to come pick it up. i am beyond excited to build mine. only 105k miles to boot! i feel for 18k i found an absolute GEM

[@charleswolfe3395]

Solid work. Make sure to treat that rust sooner than later. My 07 looked similar and leaving it too much longer would’ve left me with a bad frame.

[@theanimalbutt01]

This is a dope build!! Inspiring. Could you do a video on the heated seats?

[@sugabeatz1996]

So dope!!! Thanks for not doing a five minute talk track! Love seeing the progress!

[@OrangeBoxxfab]

looking forward for the rest of your build. Keep us all posted.

[@user-lo8yc8yb6k]

You did a great job on that bumper. Nice build.

[@tbthomps0007]

Man you are amazing. Thank you for the step by step process.

[@4800BMO]

Badass! I can’t believe you like made that bumper and it looks great! Great work man!

[@LaneC714]

Great job! I have an 07 AT. The only thing I didn’t care for are the graphics. But I loved the video and your explanations.

[@ramiroguerrero6331]

Looks great, like the rims, the height is just right, that's the look I'm looking for, good job

[@msheehandub]

I bought my 2014 in York, PA and am just starting to get into cars. This is an inspiring vid! I hope someday to have the knowledge and tools to do my own work. You made the front bumper look so easy! Awesome truck.

[@cbeserra]

Sweet! Your 4k would cost me 8k at a shop, or more! Nice work, great skills!!

[@karwanhamza]

Amazing job thanks bro for sharing Looking forward to know abt heated seats setup and work

[@initiatedrift]

Heated seats are from Dorman

[@teatonaz]

Did those heated seats come with the leather? Or you put leather on separately. I don’t need heated here in Ariz desert, but that leather is trick !! Appreciate seeing the process if you covered them yourself and I could do my stock (non-heated) seat. SUPER job on this build. Subscribed !! Cheers ( 2014 FJC with 3”, Bilstean’s etc up to TRD level, with factory crawl control. ) 🤙

[@jack9112]

Good job, also love the Boxer. I have two. Great dogs..

[@initiatedrift]

They’re the best

[@pcoc8694]

@@initiatedrift Yes they are. Have do know what all the additional plugs on the wiring harness are by location inside? I have a 2010 I stripped the inside. So I can add kill mat and re wire the stereo etc. I found out I've got the auxiliary plugs for sonar auxiliary roof lights, subwoofer and steering wheel. I've got one last plug in the back on the left corner below the lights that I don't know what it is.

[@initiatedrift]

@@pcoc8694 I’m not sure what it’s for, sorry.

[@smokinbluegrass69]

hey thanks for the video! looks great! what the front and rear suspension your running? did you do the ball joints ?

[@rocky.racoon]

Sick built man. Thank you for sharing your video. What is the name of the welder you used? there are like three types and need to get one like yours.

[@ABZrich]

i wish i had this talent. Would've saved me a fortune.

[@initiatedrift]

Gotta learn by just doing it. One thing at a time.

[@fjnomad]

Nice video 👏 That bumper looks great . What tire size and wheels are you using ? I have a stock FJ , I want to upgrade it bit.

[@carlosjulio2375]

Hello, excellent work, I hope to be able to do something similar, congratulations. Blessings.

[@carlosgomes2579]

Nice

[@gamingrecever175]

How are you liking the Eibach suspension? did the front shocks come with the springs installed? Does it work well off-road? Are you running 285/70R17's? looking good! keep up the good work!👍

[@DrGuang]

Great video and cool build. Makes me want to do some stuff to my FJ. How do you like riding on the Eibachs?

[@frankhernandez8231]

Nice!!!!👌🏼

[@dEeM0nEy916]

Great job and thank you for the vid! Which Eiback lift kit is this specifically and how has it been since its install? Is the lift still even, are there any creaking noises and does the fj lean on the driver's side?

[@charles17508]

dope

[@realsoul4465]

Nice Fj, mine is amazing ;)

[@ruggidterrain]

Very nice! Love the fake Mello Bumper. Would you be willing to make another?

[@vgsho3133]

Hey Man - Really liked the way you installed all the things to the beast. How can I get in touch with you. I have couple of questions as I am planning to buy one. Thx...

[@AbdullahAbdullah-hs9ki]

Nice work are you car FJ sons great👍

[@djdrisco123]

Seriously sounds 1000000X better

[@kitten103083]

Looking Good! Does it have a subwoofer in the back ? I have a 2008 fj that looks similar. I love the white graphic decals too.

[@610_chuck]

My man!

[@aishefasani5635]

Hey man you did an excellent job! Just earned a new sub. Just curious, you don't have any rubbing with those tires? What size are they? Thanks!

[@initiatedrift]

Full turning clearance. With a oem front bumper you might have to trim some but not sure. Tires are 285/75

[@edgarmonroy6952]

you do very good job could you help me with the size of the tires I want exact ones to yours where did you buy them

[@georgehorman2309]

What bumper kit is that ? Nice build, I’m building an fj too, that thing would look sweet with some bushwhacker fender flares👍🏻 , great work.

[@DAM-Inc.918]

👍👍

[@KNRAdventures1]

Hey Great video, On the MBRP exhaust web page they list 3 exhaust systems. Which one did you choose? I like the sounds you have I don’t want an annoying rumble on the highway. Thanks!
