Modified just went back to excellent, excellent owner, excellent questions, excellent knowledge, excellent thought. Bloody well done.

[@foehammerer]

heavily modified FJ owner from the states here, cool to see the differences and ideas you guys have down under!!! awesome vid Ronny keep it up!

[@mjallenuk]

Some brilliant ideas for a compact off roader. Possibly the tidiest and best thought out so far on Modified!

[@pdric4430]

Wow, one of the best mod videos you’ve done Ronnie. Congrats to Shaun for some really practical and thoughtful mods.

[@davidrucci]

Loved it! Sick sick sick and clean. Best part… “what’s that?!” “…it’s my milk frother, for my coffee.” Like it’s nothing. 😂👌🤙. Dude gets down.

[@Craqthump]

Ive just picked up a 2013 orange clay, literally had it for about 3 days & we love it so much, just wish i'd picked one up sooner, have watched this episode about 10 times for idea's, love your rear bar setup & the vehicle overall, great quality gear & sound advice

[@triggerhappyreviews]

I still am amazed that people are running vehicles other than toyota at this point. When you couple the aftermarket support with the exceptional quality and ruggedness, you can't go wrong. This is one beautiful FJ.

[@phantomwalker8251]

so,you know nothing about mechanical objects,obviously.nissan is a better buy.toyotas have wierd problems,great fit & finish,but,expensive,gutless,only toyota to buy is the 80 series,first of 100 series,period.rest are crap.

[@jankotze1912]

I'm from South Africa, Front Runner makes realy innovative and well built gear! Greate job on the build man, really inspired.

[@Kiddomike]

The dream build for me. Simple, compact and functional! Love the 33” tires. I think it’s the perfect size for the FJ. Looking forward to having BP51’s of my own. I heard good reviews about them.

[@IanCotterill]

Really well modded FJ. Great work Shaun you’ve provided plenty inspiration! 👍

[@LAWSIE100]

Love the use of quality products at every point!

[@Haywoodjablomie100]

One of my favorite rigs on modified so far, well done mate.

[@stephenhope7319]

Awesome. I have a red 2012 FJ ,the TTSE and built but I used Walker-Evans suspension and BFG KM2 tires. Your build is really neat and tidy. Great work. I like the FJ a lot, only negative is rear view capability, but what's past is gone! as I used to say when I rode motorcycles. Thanks for that video guys.

[@jasondixon9095]

I just got my fj Cruiser 4 Months ago it’s a 2007 silver white top it came with a 2 inch lift with NItto tires and thanks for responding back much love from Oakland California

[@vexbomer]

Nice to see an fj on here!

[@azizlenox]

The cleanest car in this series 👍🏼😄

[@lynchshaun]

Thanks mate! Its had gtechniq crystal serum applied. You can see it at work at 8-9 seconds in the muddy water drops straight off :) Im not afraid of getting dirty when washing it after a trip either.

[@PhantasticAdventures]

Shaun lynch hey mate. If you ever want to catch up let me know. I would love to head out on a trip with u and get to know you and your fj

[@lynchshaun]

Hey Andrew, yeah for sure we will tee something up 👍🏻

[@eddiedena5251]

Shaun lynch you have an awesome rig. I was wondering if you could send me the link to where you got your awning as well as your rear bumper set up. I would love to have a similar set up as yours

[@patrickeijkenboom3649]

@@lynchshaun Hi Shaun, nice FJ man! Can you let me know where you found these folded chairs? Been trying to find something alike but most chairs are just bulky and clunky (unless you go for the most uncomfy of collapsible fold chairs...). Got a 2011 white like yours but apart from rocksliders and undercarriage armour (and some blacking out here and there) not too many mods (yet!). Will keep an eye out for ya - WA is a small place after all haha

[@12kerryman]

Great to see an Irish man on here at last, I could just see that yoke heading up the Nenagh by-pass or on the beach at Tramore. Seriously though, smashing vehicle

[@lynchshaun]

Haha cheers! Bettystown beach in my case 😂 it would certainly stand out at home!

[@raksh9]

I once went with an Aboriginal elder to land owned by his people. Huge property that looked out over mountains and was filled with craggy rocks and sloping muddy tracks. He had a FJ and it just ate up the rocks and tracks. You've got a great build there.

[@CrankyNinja1]

Will be watching this again. Good work.

[@outdooraussie6355]

Great review and awesome set up. I’ve got a 2016 FJ... French Vanilla :). Usually tow a camper, so storage space and water not quite as big an issue for me.... FJ came with the 159 ltr tank too. But you’ve still given me some great ideas for improvements. Much appreciated gents 👍. As always great video Ronny...

[@jeffh7021]

This is one of my dream machines, and you've done one hell of a terrific build on this one. Well done. I want it!

[@craigmurphy163]

Fantastic job mate clean crisp and to the point looks good thanks Ronny safe travels

[@danrmetal]

Love this video as an FJ owner, great detail and great build.

[@jimfowler9556]

I love the FJ videos! They give me ideas for my FJ. Keep up the good work!

[@mountainconstructions]

This guy is a very smart fella. Very well thought out vehicle. I run a lot of the same gear in my 100. Thanks Ronny, awesome review. That rig with a James Boroud RTT would be perfect

[@priyambadapandey219]

Bang hiv😇😇

[@rhodyboland4326]

I like how this bloke new his vehicle very well and everything has a purpose. Well thought out. Awesome video!

[@dmwil1]

Great video! Love the tailgate table. I might have to put one of those on my Jeep! Ronnie, I love these videos checking out people's rigs. I get great ideas. My bank account doesn't love it so much, though!

[@mickfrederic6284]

AWESOME SET UP....ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN IN THE MODIFIED SERIES

[@ernestsantiago6700]

Awesome build ! Plenty of ideas for my FJ Ronnie thanks Mate !

[@TheBg604]

Great video, love how well organised everything is for such a small interior space.

[@spigdon]

Great episode! Ripper bloke and extremely well thought out

[@thecaravanfam6472]

Definitely a well thought out! Nice rig mate

[@roddy77177]

Proper build that - unreal !! Great to see the Front Runner products getting some good props

[@BoresaverAus]

Very interesting and so well thought out. Very impressed!

[@greg9000]

probably one of the most thought out vehicles ive seen

[@OverlandArizona4690]

Great Video!!! Love my FJ, and great advice on the long range fuel tank, just installed a replacement main tank on my FJ.

[@bazan0448]

Incredible beast Greetings from Mexico 🤠🇲🇽

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Another outstanding modified episode!!

[@paulojoaquim8650]

Loved this modified FJ. Makes me want an FJ.

[@marvelz6355]

Nice!! Can see there went some thought into that build

[@jmcdrzero]

im getting my fj next week can’t wait to do the same as your’s!! thanks for the uplift!

[@dahlmasen3084]

FJ Cruisers looks mean with bullbars👌🏻

[@Simon_R]

Great build. Lots of good ideas packed in a (relatively) small vehicle.

[@Chicanoverland]

Great feature fellas. I like the drifta drawers love seeing fellow FJ owner off road drivers😜👍🏽

[@tomhalverson3438]

Nice job on this FJ build Shaun! Welcome to the FJ club Ronny.

[@sanST701]

400k with 70l, damn was thersty. Love the build. Very clean and looks like it coud be a factory build. Congrats the owner

[@zoezoe610]

Love these kind of videos, thanks

[@TheRealChilly]

Rediscovered this vid!! sub'd. Keep posting more Fj please.

[@ursus353]

Great job, I never thought about the FJ as being a true off road vehicle.

[@Crashryding]

Built t be a modern BJ40/FJ40. TRUE WEAPONS OFF-ROAD EVEN stock standard

[@37Rocko37]

Great set up mate, I would be happy with half of the gear !Cheers from Canada.Fj 2013 Black.

[@bananasusyd]

Such a good set up.

[@jaymontange8260]

Well done I bought a 13 auto with 90K mi. Have not done much yet to mine but your FJ has given me a lot to think about. They have a little National Park here in Texas called Big Bend and that’s my first adventure. I hope to do Ouray , Colorado sometime in the future. Wish mine had its kit like yours already. Enjoyed looking at your video hope to see more in the future.

[@benw2751]

Best fj I’ve seen.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Nice, nice well thought out rig, excellent vid!

[@Agent.K.]

Neatly done ✅ always loved the look of the Fj

[@rowannancarrow6919]

Awsome build. Some great ideas. Thanks heaps

[@campbellwilson4019]

That is a very slick rig!

[@Stu-ky5ut]

Best setup car to date well done young fella👊

[@freedomrider266]

Very helpful, and containing good wisdom!

[@big5astra]

Great video and some good detail. Shaun, FYI, the rear upright seats are actually quite easy to remove. The trick is to first remove the covers on the back of the rear seats and then, working from the boot space at the back of the seats, undo the (easy accessible!) bolts on the sides and middle bracket of the rear seats. It will take about 10 minutes to remove the seats - seriously!

[@moyloy987]

This guy is spot on!

[@MorningNapalm]

Scary how much he thought about everything 😅 intimidating. I look forward to starting the process myself.

[@TheCajunGaijin]

Thank you Ronnie I've been waiting for another FJ cruiser.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Yep there create a lot of buzz too as some many people own one. I will make sure to find one more within the next 10-20 Modifieds

[@GunsandGearNetwork]

Shaun, great looking rig!! Thanks for sharing it with us and your experience.

[@ShonBayne]

Just bought my FJ and this was a great video to work towards. Let you work all the kinks out first ;)

[@brendanhurley9017]

Great build Sean. I have a 2015 white FJ. 80% same mods, but you have inspired me on the other 20%. I will be your Sydney double (from Galway)

[@lynchshaun]

Hey Brendan! Sweet, they are an awesome rig. Might get a few odd looks driving around Galway city if it ever made it back! 😂

[@DonsShed]

Fantastic car Shaun :) and a great Modified Episode :)

[@lynchshaun]

Thanks mate

[@sinistra328]

Awesome build mate.

[@lashirtprinting5506]

Bloody Great Video!! Thanks!

[@jamiemartin494]

One of the best episodes 🌶🌶🌶🌶👍

[@Ronny_Dahl]

I take you like FJ’s :D

[@rawdyrider]

Mannn!The FJ is one great great 4x4!!What amazing suspension and that 1GR ass kicker engine.Wish i could afford one!

[@rawdyrider]

My cousin on the other hand has two of them!!Lolz

[@trancepower1205]

Hot FJ!! I got one man love it!!

[@breeze787]

That white FJ is one PRETTY vehicle.

[@MrLegendSlayer]

Love to see a purpose built FJ!

[@lowlifescum]

Very well thought out

[@MrBolorzaya]

Super. nice work mate.

[@Shanksy346]

Awesome yes kaymar back bar is awesome

[@ddot8310]

Great build 👍🏼

[@johndiaz7240]

Another great walk around ,and timely my wife has a FJ Cruiser and we want to set it up for camping .We won't be able to do it up like this one but we got some great ideas . We did not know Kaymar has a rear bumper for the FJ must be very expensive looks killer.

[@lynchshaun]

Kaymar and Outback Accessories make very similar bars for the FJ. Outback is a few K cheaper. Getting the water out of the car makes a massive difference.

[@OutbackTouring]

Got to love the FJ 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@thonytadino]

super cool. should get the light bar

[@slogue77]

Awesome machine mate 💪

[@THERAGECLAN]

I

[@lucaspadua8173]

Thank You for sharing

[@Davfon23]

Beautiful!!

[@rlhydn3438]

Extra points for how shiny that FJ is 👍

[@lynchshaun]

Gtechniq crystal serum 👍🏻 hydrophobic coating. It’s awesome stuff.

[@rlhydn3438]

That explains the reflection Shaun! I’m very interested. How old is that treatment 👆 on your FJ?

[@lynchshaun]

It was applied shortly before this was shot. It’s been on 4 months now. Has a 9 year warranty and needs to be wet sanded to remove. Paint corrected and applied. It’s is awesome. You can see at 9 seconds the water beads off. Then when I’m doing the flex stuff it was after going through that puddle twice 👍🏻

[@jasonkanyora148]

@@lynchshaun nice car mate! Hopping car still performing well. @fromkenya

[@lynchshaun]

Jason Kanyora thanks mate 👌🏼 still running like a dream. Few changes since this was shot but only minor 👍🏻

[@AussieKnivesAndStuff]

Very nice build, cheers

[@banzaibadger]

Good FJ Cruiser content

[@ericpohl2125]

Well done!

[@user-qp3pc3xt1g]

Awesome thanks

[@ogreogre2080]

Bravo

[@sebastianmessina3285]

When we travel I remove the sear bases and head rests, then drop the back flat. This gives me flat storage and access to the back floor area. I have a Pedders GVM upgrade. We tow a Jayco Penguin easily.

[@bullthrush]

Very nice!

[@nitrofreakmanho]

You did a great job building this rig..very well thought out! Mine is my daily driver so I can’t outfit it for overlanding like you did..maybe one day that’ll change. I really like that awning and rear bumper setup though. I think I missed it but who manufactures that awning? I’d like to get that for camping trips. Thanks for taking us on a tour of your rig, and thank-you Ronny for featuring it on your channel..I love my FJ, so it’s nice to see one that’s done right up like this.

[@Michaelscissorhands]

Dope ass FJ

[@bkl8804]

Damn, rig! That's a thick ass rig!

[@masterheke7339]

Awesome

[@TheTripleDubya]

Great build, very inspiring, was hoping to see the Whipple supercharger kit since he had so much of the other US gear. ha ha then he mentions it !

[@sandboxwj639]

Looks mean, performs great!

[@thetrashrabbit]

damn thats a beast of a truck! im jealous
