Most youtubers are amature hacks that try to sell themselves as a professional. You downplay your superior skills. As always, nice work.

[@austinniemela]

National Electric thank you! 👍👍

[@gregh7457]

i beg your pardon. I'm a professional hack if i may say so myself

[@packingbone1953]

Well said I agree

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

You leave me out of this! in all seriousness one of the things that draws me to this channel is attention to detail and even occasionally admitting something could have been done differently better.

[@twayland6186]

Yeah. Hes like the opposite from the norm

[@josetorres3243]

You're very inspiring, and I'm learning a lot. These are the trucks we live and love. Thanks for you're work. My dad started me on a manual 1986 Toyota pick up and I've been glued since.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@eashan5022]

Thank god u finally did it! Plz do the engine next.

[@Shop_Simplicity]

Agreed!!

[@shannonobrien4729]

Yeh 100% with you there

[@ikaikasrgnts8618]

Yes just clean and keep the engine. Those 3.4 are strong. I use mine to tow my 22 foot boat.

[@bob_frazier]

You just can't help it, you are a perfectionist! Thanks for the closeup on the clutch pedal frame too!

[@austinniemela]

Happy to help!

[@jeremyb5293]

I’m amazed by how well the engine bay came out, you did an awesome job and have lots of patience

[@austinniemela]

Jeremy B thanks!

[@JLeeChron]

Keep it up with the Toyotas! May as well do the timing belt and waterpumpservice while you have it out. Also do what you do, whether or not its budget friendly. Great work Sir

[@triniwayne1984]

Glad you're sticking to the low budget build. Keep them coming man.

[@TheRandomDead]

Paint the engine bay black like you did with the other truck. Love that look

stumbled on this channel and was stoked to see all this cool yota content but wanted to compliment you on the vlog quality too, all the camera angles and shots are really nicely done.

[@austinniemela]

[@breeze787]

Yes! Superb video content & editing. No waste of time here babbling or attempted stand up comedy.

Nice detail. I appreciate you don’t try to add useless minutes. Been awhile since Prime added a vid. Hope all is well with your bro. Prayers

Thanks! Cam is doing good!!

[@philgriswold2133]

I just picked up a 1986 regular cab 4x4 with a wooden flatbed yesterday. It's a 22re with auto. I'm getting it mostly to go in the woods and collect firewood and also as a toy for mild off roading. Watching your vids are a great guide incase I need to go any further with repairs.

[@austinniemela]

Awesome!!!

[@breeze787]

Man I love watching you work. It might be because of your attention to detail or your impeccable video editing. Oh and that red 91 flat bed pickup truck? Soooooo Sweeeeeeeeet! Thanks for putting this up.

[@austinniemela]

I appreciate that!

[@SunShyne_Culture]

Hey Bro, I like how you work. Your attention to details is extraordinary, spot on! First episode I saw when you sprayed the truck and had to find the rest, Top restore!

[@austinniemela]

I appreciate that!

[@anthonygaussoin7043]

Nice work. Should be a nice reliable truck once the 3.4 is sorted. Keeping with the budget theme it would be great to see a blazeland long travel kit on it... have fun!

[@Red_Beard_Builds]

Anthony Gaussoin 3.4 is a beast for these little pickups!

[@anthonygaussoin7043]

True. I still have the 3.0 in mine. It is a tough engine but I get slowed down in the hills with a pop up camper on the back. The extra 40 hourses from the 3.4 would be great. There are a few other engines on the short list, but the 3.0 keeps chugging.

[@Red_Beard_Builds]

Anthony Gaussoin I changed everything from auto 3.0 to 3.4 manual and came to found out it has stock 4:88 gears in it so it’s a monster 😂

[@Thedaleb1]

Another great video, I sold my 93 22-re 4wd regular cab in 2014, my friends son drives, it has always been well taken care of, he says I can buy it back one which I will. Old Toyota’s are the best.

[@buddywaldon5329]

Hell of a job man. Very detail oriented. Currently doing a tdi swap on an 80 yota. Started out just trying to get the old girl running and one thing let to another. 2 year and thousands of dollars in and I almost have a roller. Anyway, keep it up man, love the channel. By the way, you need a fab table. You're work is too good to be done on the floor.

[@chestertv8799]

You cure my OCDness. Thanks!

Did you look up a vid for making the 3.4 AC Compresor work w/ the 3.0 AC lines? I was hoping to see you throw it back on and keep AC on the truck.

You said in a early video we’re thinking of using a Berliner on the body. You might want to look at this one that I used, it’s called T Rex by speedkote . It is tintable like upoll and I think the price might be a bit better. I tinted mine the new Toyota army green.

I have a 91 I want to do this swap to when the 3.0 gives out.

[@MG-sg2ci]

Instead of rattle canning, buy the rustoleum in the quart can and spray it from your gun. Its cheaper and way more durable. Thin it with acetone and you can use a little hardener if you want it to dry quicker.

[@javieresquivel4601]

Hi Austin , you ever considered putting a 4 BT Cummings in a Tacoma ? I think that would be a cool idea . Thanks for the great videos, keep them coming . God bless .

This is how Austin washers his cars! He isn’t rebuilding this Hilux, It’s not gunna be a full rebuild like Red! LOL YER RIGHT!!

[@elitorgamer98]

little noob question here, it's alright to just rattle can spray everything like that like are there stuff you should cover or ?

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

I don't think you are taking shortcuts with the frame paint. If I'm taking the time to strip a frame it's getting powder and not paint. Especially for a truck that is not show intended. In other words yeah rattle can to cover will last well enough for what you are doing. Your effort so far at little to no cost is looking good Austin!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!! Some people hate on rattle can, i do sometimes haha but something like the frame, its plenty!!
