I Built The PERFECT FJ40 Rear Bumper!

[@jundialhaqiqa9907]

This thing just get more bad ass with every video that comes out

[@johnpyle8027]

I always like different ways of mounting high lift jacks, they always look cool. I have NEVER used one four wheeling. I always used mine at work to lift sinking scaffolding loaded with bricks! 🤪 I have to say I didn't think this build was going to be this involved. This is a SEMA build!

[@jadebrecks]

I know it wouldn't be structurally sound but I love the look of the bumper when you put it on just tacked! 8:40ish

[@austinniemela]

@@jadebrecks looks cool! But definitely not too strong!

[@preacherpdx5519]

My and my boy are building a 65. Your videos help keep it exciting. Thanks for that. An idea I've been pondering is rear fender flare tool boxes. You've got the resources to take all of the guess work out of it for us. Plus you'll be the first to do them, that is if you do. Great build series, best I've seen

[@audi1651]

Really beautiful Landcruiser, this is what an old owner tells you! But don't forget to protect the hydraulic brake hoses, a branch and no more brakes

[@ErickSanchez-ij1dw]

Perfect every detail

[@awhipps]

Killer work as always! This bumper really is perfect for your rig. You should build your own larger powder coat oven.

[@austinniemela]

@@awhipps thanks! Yeah I do need a bigger oven for sure

[@StormbornJKU]

That bumper and accessory carrier definitely came out top notch man. Looking really good.

[@NASTYcraftX]

You make enough bumpers it might be time to buy/build a large oven so you can powder coat them.

[@zacharywatters1843]

That came out killer!

[@austinniemela]

@@zacharywatters1843 thanks!!

[@ronthompson2366]

Looks great 👍 the build is at the fun point now. Just the little details. Idea... make a Delron covered drop-down table. For the inside back of the rack. Super handy.

[@billybike57]

Your craftsmanship and design level it top shelf!

[@austinniemela]

@@billybike57 thank you!!

[@waltermigotto484]

That cruiser is just awesome! And your fabrication skills too. Congratulations Austin.

[@austinniemela]

@@waltermigotto484 thank you!!

[@phorton4205]

Small oven build out of a home oven with plans would be fun to watch

[@mlowe30]

You are very talented. Love your builds!

[@wpmproduction4074]

Insane how a rear bumper can change the look so well! How did you think of the fuel tank and jack management beforehand, then to execute it flawlessly with perfect fitment. Always impressed in your work.

[@austinniemela]

@@wpmproduction4074 thank you!! I take a lot of time planning stuff out beforehand!

[@Mr_Ruhl]

You could wire in some one way diodes to those bumper lights and tie them into the reverse lights so they come on manually like you have them and also automatically when in reverse.

[@Roadrash429]

Just needs a toggle switch in the dash, one way to is only powered from the back up lights, the other way is manual activation. Pretty simple to do

[@Roadrash429]

Technically, the wiring is set up through the relay, depending on which way you flip the switch, changes which side of the relay you trigger.

[@Mr_Ruhl]

@@Roadrash429 he already has them on a switch so all he would have to do is jump a wire between the positives of the reverse lights and bumper pods. The one way diodes would just be there to have them still operate independently if desired. Personally I'd just have both come on any time you flip the switch, or put it in reverse and not use any diodes.

[@abpsd73]

I'd do something like a weatherpack connector on the plate light, moisture proof and will withstand the disconnect/reconnect every time you have to remove it to access the fuel cans.

[@ryguy08781]

The FJ is just sick buddy, beautiful build !

[@henrymach]

I like the CAD (cardboard aided design) proccess

[@SunShyne_Culture]

AWESOME, as usual. Wish you did them for the '06 Tundra ❤

[@DieselJLUJeep]

Dude your next build should be a K5 blazer 😂

[@brandonfaulkner70]

A true artist!

[@TheRightLine]

Slick. Looks great.

[@austinniemela]

@@TheRightLine thank you!

[@davefury66]

😎Been waiting for this one!! I love seeing you get creative with your bumpers👍🏻🔥💯 its funny because as im watching, i was like... He should take the bumper and arm to Devin's shop to powder coat it in his big oven and you came out on the next shot with his shirt 🤘🏻🍻

[@austinniemela]

@@davefury66 thanks man!! Haha yea I do need a bigger oven!

[@cehiiaranaraa6319]

The rear looks a bit naked, adding some kinda rear fender would make it look complete imo.

[@moneysaversilver]

Damn nice bumper and accessory rack

[@The_zook_shed]

Gotta be happy with that looks killa bud

[@Mr_Ruhl]

No black powder coat on the high lift to make it match? You could use some krylon fusion to match the gas tanks too.

[@nonsequitur807]

Dope build. I guess you have a plan for a flat tire🤞🏽

[@clayfist4033]

I would’ve put to get little gas cans on the back inside and the jack near the top of the roof could hold in there and then you could just have the bumper the way you had it swinging and the lights and plate were normally goes would’ve OK what’s your thought, comment below keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see your next video. Thank you.

[@mahdialsenussi3066]

Amazing WORK ❤️ 👍🏼

[@austinniemela]

@@mahdialsenussi3066 thanks!

[@Goblinshaman]

Are you planning on using fender liners or fender flares? Sick fabs as per usual.

[@pukargurung4200]

Nice one Austin as always ❤

[@lynnmccoy9623]

6 digit build! Very nice!

[@austinniemela]

@@lynnmccoy9623 thanks!

[@naminazakii]

Sempurna = Perfect

[@jasperbumgart1891]

Are you gonna do any mini rear fenders. Lots of tire overhang on the rear.

[@mjo326]

Super sweet!

[@hernanmartinez8313]

Hey man the back bumper is sweet as heck man don’t change it but paint it

[@richberg404]

Your fabrication skills were always good, but you are getting so much better with all your new tools. With all the new tools you are still running that old stove to powder coat.

[@austinniemela]

@@richberg404 thanks! Yeah someday I need a bigger oven

[@sajidtipu5333]

Fantastic work.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!

[@paulcoon5399]

I would love to see you build a square body bronco

[@Eeropolvasti]

Looking good, maybe...a little "tiny", now I am waiting those "Jeep" - kind of rear fenders, sure need them !!!! Keep it up, youtheman! greetings from "Hurricane' ....South Florida, thank God, it is on West Coast, I am at East coast !!!=)

[@ombenikichao]

This build is another lever 🇹🇿

[@curtisoedekoven6211]

A matching off road trailer would be great . Then you would have a place to add a spare tire.

[@MidgetPunter]

Id put a plate behind the license plate and have it slide into the reciever hitch. When you need the hitch just oull the plate off and find a temporary mount for when you use a trailer.

[@brianhind7477]

Looks great

[@mchaelmontaudouin484]

Très beau travail propre impressionnant 🤩 bravo 👏👍

[@DalePartridge-d3x]

This should be called RED BACK after the Australian Red back spider. Also known as the Australian black widow spider.

[@lonmcclellan2414]

You make it look easy....

[@jeffgreenwood5159]

Just seen it on your site will order this week TY

[@mrgomez7613]

How about adding the option to have the license plate bracket to spring up to remove the gas cans.

[@IanQue]

Been wanting to ask where you get your Toyota hats. Awesome vids!

[@lmcollins_54]

The FJ is really looking good Austin. It has come a long way from when you got it. What is left to be done ?

[@mvorn44]

Now I want to see more red accents.

When the cardboard comes out good things happen.

[@dannywright3128]

When we going to get a video of u making a big oven to fit the entire bumper iv seen people use the small oven control and heating element

Think you need some stubby rear fenders.

I think I put the spray the tire on the roof

[@StephenCrewse]

A 40 in tire? It would take a crane to get it down. Those are heavy. Anytime I've changed a tire in the gravel or mud, I like to have it as close to where it's going as possible, especially when its caked in mud/snow/etc...

[@totsiiie]

Can you make template for 5th gen 4runner??

[@nabeshah5371]

[@hernanmartinez8313]

Look man your fj has space limits and I blame you if you don’t have a spare tire but extra fuel is just as fine
