Glad you linked the paint in the description! Looks awesome!

[@82khai]

Lol. Most projects do start with the quote, "I've got nothing better to do". Great progress!

[@brandenlindsey9341]

I've been watching your builds for a while. Glad to see you tackling the diesel first gen build. I'll be doing this after my ls swapped s10. Great video!!

[@C-J-Outdoors]

Love that por 15, I sprayed mine on using their thinner, came out really nice. Can't wait for the engine install and everything else to come. 3 👍's up.

[@garethl.2123]

Good call taking the bed off. I did the same thing on my 00 Tacoma. Totally worth it. I'd suggest doing rear wheel bearings and axle seals in the near future too

[@allenhorne7032]

Looking great Austin! That stuff does a great job for frame paint, in my opinion! Keep up the great work!

[@jimmadonna1436]

I used braided SS brake lines on my trucks. Like the look and never had to worry about them. The frame came out looking PERFECT! Nice work!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@the_secret_goldfish]

After watching a few (if not all) your vids I began doing things differently, I was always so rushed with my car repair, now that my Tacoma is no long my daily I bought a new engine and I’m going to do this correctly. WWAD is my motto for shop cleaning, Tacoma building and part manufacturing 🤟🏽

[@austinniemela]

Awesome thanks!!

[@tonygSDWR]

Austin, love this build, and really enjoy all the projects. While the bed is off, I'd like to see a full size bed (not sure the frame would permit it). I just find the 6 1/2' bed to not only be more useful, but look more proportional as there are 4 doors. Just a thought...

[@abpsd73]

You'd probably need the rear frame section from a 6.5' bed truck, then cut/splice the frames together. I'm going to be doing the same thing on a Ranger supercab soon, since they only came with a 6' bed and I want a 7 footer.

[@jessehumphrey7337]

I’m actually in the process of doing the 6 1/2 bed swap on my 04 double cab. I was hoping he’d maybe do it so I’d have some video reference haha.

[@Serg_R]

Great attention to detail Austin, I've would of never thought of removing the truck bed, you should have a Tdi custom shop. I would send you my discovery 2

[@hydroman99]

Looks great Austin. Also, I never knew your bro was a big time KZbinr until you mentioned it in a recent vid. I was directed to your channel by watching other Toyota restores. So you are the first Niemela that I subscribed to.

[@austinniemela]

Sweet thanks man!

Truck frame looking great

[@PauloLima-bm3eo]

As always no stone is Left unturned nice job mate again 👍

[@WeaselBurrito]

Looks good. Am getting ready to redo the entire suspension on my 87. Probably going to refinish the frame while I am at it.

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Frame looks awesome,my 2021 toyota tacoma I bought myself a creeper so I can wash my Frame and take care of my truck,I'll catch ya on the next one

[@alexei9216]

pretty mint the paint job man, it looks sooo awesome

[@jordanhendrickson1484]

That thing is lookin mint. Can’t wait to see what’s next…

[@larrybrownlee9255]

Looking good! Have you thought of using the Eastwood inner frame coat? It's good stuff.

[@frankiea6482]

Great video. Bed looks great 👍👌💥😊

[@JEREMY120983]

great job! like usually! will do like red truck, for the dumpster? or you leave it as like the origin

[@quickturn66]

Dirt and silt likes to collect in the piece in the frame by the passenger rear shock , also the same piece on driver side. My 99 from Virginia rusted in those two spots but every other inch of the frame was mint.

[@jeffgoodenough9932]

Hello from Michigan where did you get that 415 from was that from Napa auto parts because I want to do my 95 S10 blazer frame.

[@WeekendWrenchTurner]

Awesome seeing these frames getting saved 🍺🍺Everyone that tells you that you should strip it down and powder coat it doesn't realize you have only a kitchen oven for a powder coat furnace😂😂😂

[@Anthxoy]

ngl it looks better this way amazing man👌👍

[@beso4247]

I wish I was mechanically inclined like you man. I would love to rebuild my 03 Xterra. I always get offers for it and I just can’t let it go. I keep saying I want to redo the necessary things like brakes and drums. You make it look so easy.

[@beso4247]

@Hidden Projects hey thank you. I’ll look into that.

[@brevanhansen5084]

@Hidden Projects just to get started don't even need that many tools, even just going over to harbor freight pick up their smaller tool box $45? I think a better set of sockets, and a husky set of ratchets will be plenty for beginning build up from there. Watch plenty of videos and learn from some of the manuals and the only way to learn is to try

[@m8a9x]

Do a lift kit and a roll pan instead of a rear bumper!! 🤩 and steele rims that are 16” and 10-11” wide with some good tires on 👌🏻😊

[@JohnAvantiBK]

Looks good and good job. What's the best diesel conversion for a 2nd gen besides the Hilux?

[@Free-j3t]

Keep up the great content mate!!!

[@tnguy9696]

another great vid dude keep them rolling

[@DuanDao]

watching you apply the 415 is ASMR worthy

[@midhunys2322]

Good job

[@clayhuser7230]

Do they use that liquid salt solution stuff on the roads there during the winter where you live? They do in NY and it’s tough on frames and bodies. Frame looks good!

[@austinniemela]

I’m not sure exactly what they use but it’s not good!

[@jonahvaneck8266]

just wondering if you have a part number for the napa paint?

[@austinniemela]

[@ice-cold8827]

Awesome build as always. Quick question is the bedside welded on these trucks or bolted on?

[@austinniemela]

Welded I believe!

[@Обовсем-э7р]

чем покрывал раму? что за составы?

[@adamdubeau8038]

Whats the dimensions of your shop? Lots of room to work.

[@kflo1219]

Man I’m going thru this right now…Por-15 throughout and Napa chassis black. Have two sections having to put frame caps over and weld. Came from Ohio originally but I’m never selling it so might as well do it right.

[@DuanDao]

What’s the name of the purple degreaser that you and Devin use?

[@austinniemela]

Simple green HD!

[@DuanDao]

@@austinniemela thank you previous owner on my lx had a couple busted cv boots so there’s called on grease and dirt around the suspension etc so I want to clean that crud off

[@CB-hr6zs]

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@PNWUpperLeft]

Howdy Austin, What are the dimensions of your shop?

[@austinniemela]

36x36!

[@PNWUpperLeft]

@@austinniemela Thank you, you should do a shop tour.

[@johnpyle8027]

Looking pretty sweet! I know you have a process using degreaser, have you ever used tire foam? I have a friend that does detailing on the side. Foam works great in engine bays with compressed air to remove it. I thought he was joking, but I watched him do one once and it was pretty wild. The foam turns brown and then he blows it off. All the hoses look like dressed tires! lol He doesn't like using water for several reasons under the hood. Keep it up!

[@austinniemela]

Dang I might have to try that!

[@brevanhansen5084]

This is how I should've done my frame, mine isn't holding up well. Do you do KZbin full time?

[@austinniemela]

The por15 does a good job! Yes I am full time!

[@brevanhansen5084]

@@austinniemela definitely wish I would of heard of por15 when I was doing my V8 ranger project. That's awesome that you get to build trucks full time

[@javier4764]

Has anyone ever hotdip galvanised a chassis? Just asking.

[@SOLDADITO76]

So when are you going to do a V8 swap? You've done the 4cyl to six swap, gasoline to diesel swap, so now what's seems to be missing is the V8.
