Austin, Your truck looks so SICK! Back in the 80's my I used to go 2 MPH in front of stores with Windows so I could Admire all the work I put into it. It feel good. Thanks for the memories and keeping this ALIVE!

[@Justfun-ty4we]

All I can say is "SWEEEEET" job well done all the way around. I have truly enjoyed watching this build from start to present. Thank you for sharing this with us it has been amazing, with your attention to detail, quality of work and your dreams and ideas for the truck. If I could I'd be given ya 10 thumbs up. Again thanks.

[@Timr45_70]

By far the coolest Toyota I've ever seen. Looks great on those wheels . Awesome job bud, I'm sure your next project will just as amazing if not better. Thanks for sharing, Why no tow loops or tow clevis's on the rear like the front?

[@jason328d6]

Said it on the IG, but I’ll say it here for the tube interaction. Black mirrors, black tint, rock sliders ( black square tube). Throw some dynamat or equivalent on the cab and doors, a cage. Truck is sick, you really did a great job on it. When you do the windshield don’t forget a light tint there also, lots of people don’t like it, but since I’ve done mine I love it.

[@thatsurf1639]

Truck looks insaneeeee. Love the channel as well, so good to see someone with so much talent and attention to detail. Keep up the sweet work dude!

[@kustom4935]

Just did a clutch job on my '88... good luck on removing the factory cross-member bolts... Fortunately I only broke one bolt when using an impact gun. Used a heavy weight flywheel and heavy-duty clutch kit from LCE (rolling on 33" tires, stock gearing)... very pleased with results. Your rig looks excellent... great job!

[@paredes893]

Are you going to fab a rock slider for this bad boy? I'd love to see you do a future project with XJ, an early model 4runner or Land Cruiser

[@theogridog]

Stumbled across this build as I love the Toyota Hilux, watched the whole build from the beginning, and enjoyed every minute, its great to see someone enjoying there successes and dealing with problems and mistakes and learning from them. Good luck with future builds and projects.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you much!!!

[@jtipp27]

Your attention to detail is unreal! Every little thing is touched and improved in some way. Keep it up brother👌

[@Shop_Simplicity]

That is one sweet truck!! Turned out amazing!!

[@poormofo1]

Damn son! Build one for me!!!

[@stephanredpath9778]

Two thumbs way way up! So much content to review! Thanks again so much for continuing to add value to your productions and give us all that straight shooter attitude! Way to go!!

[@stephanredpath9778]

We ended up doing a 2.7L JDM Swap in my 98 Tacoma to save some time and money and to get back on the trails. Found an 04 2.7L engine that was so clean I could have eaten my dinner off the header or even the oil pan if I flipped it over! never seen anything like it before! Going to fire up a channel when I find a place with shop. Hope to reach out for some tips on editing in future and fabbing*** haha Thanks again for the inspiration brotha!

[@mchristII]

Just found this channel. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 thank you to the KZbin algorithm. You have a fan now my friend, I can’t wait to see more and watch this grow.

[@madcratebuilder]

Ton of hard work payed off, looks outstanding.

[@chancekeyes3961]

Been watching and following along, and this has inspired me to do my own. Your truck is absolutely awesome.

[@Onelonehonky]

Lookin amazing bro ! This build has been awesome and inspiring to watch. Preciate you taking the time and sharing it with us. Builds like yours are ten times better for guys like me to learn from than the tv shows that do builds with an endless budgets.

[@rhettrumsey855]

You did one hell of a job! Turned out bad ass! Glad your doing tint! I want to build one now...

[@XixV3N0MxiX]

The rig turned out insane dude, wicked build, wicked job! Love the content man! Good work!

[@sparkyprep3905]

I got to say, that is the best looking flatbed I have EVER seen.

[@josebalboajr4992]

Very nice truck. I have seen you build it from the beginning and it looks awesome.

[@philgriswold2133]

Very nice outcome. You have put quality work and materials in that truck all along and now you have high quality results.Great job!

[@corytryon6374]

That is one BADASS Toyota!! Lookin BEAUTIFUL 💯🔥🔥🔥👍🏻

[@natecox9955]

Amazing! That's literally all there is to it! Great work man!

[@thekingwc]

It all came together and looks amazing. 👏

[@mattlikesbikes]

Just epic! You missed on two things though. Needs some KC lights and some Yosemite Sam "Back Off" mud flaps.

[@elliothahn1155]

Great work man looks MINT! Was awesome watching the process. Go drive that thing and enjoy it!

[@tomz1220]

You have definitely set the bar high for your builds. The truck is looking sweet 👍👍

[@StreetMachine18]

Now you gotta build a nice black and red ATV to mount on the flat bed to match. Would look pretty sick driving around

[@derekledohowski8950]

Awesome job man!! Really inspiring 🤙🏻

[@wipatriot510]

Nice project done well...question(s)... 1) Would you do a project like this again...??? 2) After all that you learned doing this project, would you do anything differently, and what, if any, would that be...???

[@tylerbaker1470]

Please do one on the door panels I would love to see what you do! I Love the videos on this build

[@kymharvey2355]

That thing would put a horn on a jellyfish man💪 It looks so good I'll be Defenetly using your style when I build my tray what a weapon good job man thumbs up to you

[@DelTalkoh]

Looks sweet man. Need more meat on those tires though! I had no clue this was tdi swapped because I started watching when you were painting, but that's super unique and awesome.

[@Moreno0101]

This looks super clean! Toyota should sell them like that. great job

[@c.r.edmister5223]

I know I'm late but, this is one of the coolest trucks I've seen on a while.

[@evilbrat5376]

The build is fantastic - be proud of yourself. That body line on the doors ~ don't mind the ones that do not get it, they will in time [maybe]. ya done did a good job even with the setbacks but hey! Learning curve dude ~ learning curve. A day without learning something is a day wasted. As for the mud - is to purdy to go there.....show it off.

[@fishpony1211]

Brotha cant get enough of that custom flatbed!!! Came out sooo sicck truck looks great!!

[@ZJ_Rubicon]

I bet it feels good to get all that body work done. Looks great!

[@gmaster8007]

Sick yota bro. The flatbed is fricken sick. Nice paint job too. Self built!! Is the word. Gives me inspiration to work on my yota. Great vidz too. Thanks for uploading. Aloha from hawaii. 🤙🏼

[@bobcurtis7008]

Truck looks sick congrats on the good wrk!!!

[@jessieheifner9507]

It's FINALLY done!! 🤤

[@OzBull]

A set of snake flares would look awesome love your work.

[@packingbone1953]

Man you did a killer job she’s turning out amazing nice work.

[@TheRandomDead]

The exterior rubber weather stripping trim looks really good. Same one from the truck and you restored it or where did you get it?

[@MrTeazeer]

One of the best Toyotas out there at the moment

[@alexk.430]

I'm hooked on watching you create perfection 😉. That paint came out incredible and I would never assume that you would paint over a dent 🙃. Front end looks great with that bumper and headlights and vw logo is the cherry on top. I see you are a one man show, if you want something done right, just do it yourself. No one else will stay on it until it's perfect. I think it's one of the best builds I've seen, keep up the great work, it definitely shows in your work how much you love what you do. 👍👍👍 love it.

[@austinniemela]

Awesome thank you man!!

[@97NRBhgfdkjsvfdkjl]

This thing is so sick bro, now take er through the mud

[@premiumcontent1381]

Happy it’s done!

[@mikelabounty6994]

[@TheRightLine]

[@hectormeza9533]

Congratulations man hard work is paid off

[@harrysack8834]

That is the sickest yota I’ve seen by far hands down!

[@danielclark4125]

Looks awesome man!! Best looking toy I've seen. Besides mine of course! Finish it out brother and enjoy it!

[@wademan7180]

Best lookin model I’ve seen yet 🤙🏻good job

[@coherantbliss3483]

Great work you do. Wish I could keep my shop as clean as yours! It's hard because I'm doing body work on two different trucks, plus I have too much "stuff" around and the dust gets on everything. Plus there's a cabinet shop at the other end of the shop with no wall between (yet) and in the middle is a welding area so all that dust gets everywhere...I blow it all outside and the next day it's a mess again...call me lazy I guess. But I have always said..."if your shop is too clean then you're not working hard enough" lol. But now I'm saying "if your shop is dirty all the time then your just lazy" hehe. peace

[@tyfye5684]

Congratulations buddy!!!!!!!!!

[@JEREMY120983]

[@stonecold7036]

I've been watching on and off through the build, very nice, very nice...

[@MrStevoovets]

Killer build! Turned out sweet.Will be using some of your ideas for my flat bed build. Did you happen to use a new rubber seal for your windshield? If so where did you find one?

[@cccorvette]

great looking project

Excellent Job. You were very aggressive🔥. If you can tell me the defense code to look it up on the page. 💥It's cool for this pick up. Thank you.

[@robperkins2674]

[@atch9790]

Looking sweet🤘🏻

[@oliverpeacock6016]

You should look into 3rd gen 4runners. That’s what I drive and I love working on it. I’m sure you could do something cool with that car. I love your channel though man. You do great work. Maybe sometime you could do a shop tour. I was wondering though, at what point did you feel confident enough to do an engine swap. I’d love to do something like that soon but I’m not sure if I have enough knowledge yet.

[@austinniemela]

Start doing some research on the particular engine swap you want to do! There is lots of info out there!!

[@joem2829]

Absolutely insane bro

[@edibleplatypus13]

im looking to get good aftermarket headlight assemblies for my 94 4runner SR5, would these fit??
