[@bmacier]

If no one has said it, thanks for doing an entire build on an episode. KZbinrs have this horrible habit of needing a teaser, a cliffhanger, or a "I can't show you yet" in every single video to keep their audience hooked. Keep doing builds like this and you won't need any gimmicks. Get em Throtl.

[@ShAmW0W808]

Ooo geez I wonder which KZbinr does that alll the tiiiiiime 🙄

[@mathewlepp1723]

Boys do y’all understand what it takes to build a car, don’t happen over night🧐

[@bmacier]

@@mathewlepp1723 completely agree. Steps/stages I’m more than ok with, but when something is clearly done, “but I can’t show you” to create some mystique to come back is more what I’m referring to. Stance works is another good one where he’s taking you along as he has things done but doesn’t do a lot of cliff hanging.

[@Wyattfishing]

Shut up and watch the video and be happy

[@robdelg1510]

@tjcunt

[@jpht.adventures]

Finally got a chance to watch this since I've been on the road all day, but I enjoyed watching y'all transform my FJ. Props to Quinn about noticing the plugs were changed within the past year 😉 But thank you again to the entire crew, I'm still at lost with the right words to express my appreciation. 🤙🤙

[@ChrisBubbly]

Enjoy the wrap!!

[@stanbassett9805]

I know that drive. done it a few times. By best time from central Texas to LA California was around 17 hours . Congratulations. I need my truck rebuilt and done up right like this.

[@MrStrictlyHonest]

Seems like you don't like the build, If it's my car I would definetly find more words to say!!!!!! At lease put on a good show for the channel!!!!

[@jpht.adventures]

@@MrStrictlyHonest 👍

[@jpht.adventures]

@@ChrisBubbly thanks brother!

[@lilymorgan2138]

So Peter drove this up to Los Angeles and I got to see it in person. It looks great!! He also towed some people off the beach later. 🤩😄

[@Berndhardiner]

I love this dream car builds :D It feels like a modern, professional, non-fake version of old pimp my ride, just love it. :)

[@richardmchale3097]

Absolutely. The right way to pimp someone's ride

[@Jmoney_99]

Throtl deserves much more attention! They look out for a lot of people and they do it by doing what they love. Always a smile on my face while watching ❤️

[@Curly_Boi]

Completely agree with this statement. Their entire staff are great people

[@benfalconer7887]

Looks awesome! Only problem I can see is the winch install! That front bar is not designed to hold a winch of that size! The first time he uses it under full load it's going to rip itself and the bar off the front of the truck!!

[@Muddymikey]

Congrats Peter!! Was looking forward to seeing this build and I wasn't disappointed. Kudos for riding the Grom from Texas to pick up the FJ too, that's awesome.

[@jpht.adventures]

Thanks Mike!

[@richardmchale3097]

I like that you guys not only show what you replace, but that you actually do preventative work while doing these builds. The level of professional care it shows is awesome. Wish I could afford to have you guys work my mk3 supra over for me

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

Congratulations to the subscriber to his dream build. Yes! An FJ build! Love the off-road content guys. You guys are killing it! Can’t wait to see a 4Runner build.😀

[@bamahammer949]

Already done

[@rlv2780]

So happy for this dude! Thank you to all responsible 🙏🏻 More power!

[@Poizdrc]

Tip. The external air fitting need to be mounted to the top of the bumper. If he catches a ledge that fitting is going bye bye.

[@lonesomecricket7721]

Also, I would have mounted that air compressor inside the engine bay. Dust, water and damage is a real possibility in that location.

[@zerohero187]

My initial thoughts exactly. Nothing should hang below the rear bumper. Including the rear exiting exhaust. I know from experience. I have an fj with dual exhaust exiting in the rear. Biggest mistake I've made on my build. Wound up cutting them back after they got squished. I also would have gotten an actual bumper made for a winch. I don't like how it petrudes out so far. Also, if it's not made for it I'd always be worried that it wouldn't take the extreme forces a winch puts on the bumper when in use. He's probably gonna wind up wanting a second battery if he eventually puts a fridge in the back. I wouldn't trust the one battery with the solar panel in the middle of no where. The colors definitely not my taste but thats just me. Screams mall crawler to me. I don't mean to sound like I am criticizing every decision made on this build but if this guy is serious about offroading this truck than these are things that need to be considered. If he's sticking to dirt roads not far off the beaten path and not using the winch to much than he'll probably be fine.

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

There is plenty of room inside in the rear cargo bay behind the plastic panels where they could have mounted it too, but being honest one of my fjs hasnt got the extra petrol tank under there and nothing ever gets under there ie water or dirt as its in a good spot.

[@FabtechMotorsports]

We are glad to be a part of this dream build! Good job guys!

[@jpht.adventures]

Thanks for the smooth ride!

[@jzkastjzkast627]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Congrats guys! love the passion you put on any tipe of vehicles!

[@nicowalters]

I really love these off-road builds!

[@paulbhager]

Turned out awesome. Grom the planet! I drove halfway across the country on my grom, had a blast.

[@jpht.adventures]

Hell yeah brotha!

[@kewangarnett605]

I'm watching from jamaica and I love watching you guys, continue doing what you doing.

[@khanhathan]

One of my favorite series on KZbin. Loving these dream builds!

[@ryangreen2006]

Sick as hell. That wrap is incredible. This is your best build video yet IMO.

[@mikedavies4044]

This video is great, such a awesome build. You guys rock at everything you do! Also for the all love you give back to the car community and much more! Love it. Keep killing it!

[@toddwilliams9681]

Son Listen! I'm not a truck dude I don't do the whole off-roading thing but what these cats did with this truck this is DOPE 🔥🔥

[@jaden9297]

FJ cruisers are quite underrated

[@BoiseTDI]

I don’t think so, they are appreciating like crazy. ;)

[@jamesray3920]

I agree not underrated very unique vehicles. I own a 07 yota fj 6 speed manual. I installed a Magnuson supercharger 6-inch pro comp lift kit arb front bull bar rear expedition one dual swing out tire carrier & dual Jerry cans , orange boxx rear fold down table & dash kit , red & black seat cover by clazzio the list gose on 35x12.50x18 on Mickey Thompson mtz and black mtc rims it's too bad toyota didn't installed a sun roof if I sold mine I probably get 45k or more

[@bamahammer949]

The only thing is the windshield it's only 9" vertically and the white roof you can't See but I'd rather have one than a Jeep they are awesome on the trail! Nice work guys well done!

[@KunoRCAdventures]

That was an awesome build! More off-road stuff! Keep it up guys!

[@lunalam7754]

This build was sick and could not have happened to a better guy! 💖 Congrats, Peter, and awesome work, Team Throtl!!

[@bamahammer949]

This build was totally Bonkers Dudes

[@kin6david]

This was sick! Love this series, and I love that you guys do it in one episode!

[@f.johnniep986]

Throtl team killed it once again, the FJ is one of my favorite rides and its great to see what you guys were able to do to this bad boy.

[@cedmonds4380]

Definitely my Favorite Dream Car Build!!

[@marlostewart1107]

Love how you guys show love to your local businesses. 👍🏾💯

[@andresestrada2381]

You guys killed it!!! Love the build keep it up. Excited for the next one!

[@mcjags06]

This was hands down the best build Ive seen on this channel!!! Great work ✌️👍👌

[@ozotrucha]

Awesome built. One of my favorites! Great teamwork and content keep it come in Throtl!!!

[@Eric_s2002]

The fact that you didn't have to cut the control arms out is a miracle.

[@Ruwin-gv8eu]

I live in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Never seen such car upgrades. Thank you to Throtl team for making it possible. Love you guys😘

[@maskerade81]

This video was super entertaining and throughout the whole hour I just kept saying "wow, that's frickin' sick!" Makes me miss my 2012 Cavalry Blue FJC. Awesome work guys! Peter is super blessed.

[@eematta]

Honestly, I don’t watch full videos but I end up watching this one. Quite impressive. I’m an FJ owner as well and this is anyone’s dream. You guys did a great and fantastic job.

[@dutchie0101]

51 minutes. Right where I want it to be 💪

[@SubToTripleThreatRC]

Awesome job guys. Peter should be stoked!

[@bobcaruso1368]

Sweet!!! I've got a whole list of upgrades for MY FJ!!! Thanks for walking through the build.

[@jamesfcookjr]

Throtl vip squad good morning Evan Mickey Rickie Quinn Rick victor Shawn Will Nate Tim Big Jeff and the rest of the team awesome building a subscribers Dream build congratulations to the winner 😊👍🏽🤙🏽❤️

[@MiloslavZoul]

Awesome build. More off-road builds like this. Love it.

[@reformedj24]

SICK!! What an awesome build! Congrats my dude!

[@wcmauldin81]

The FJ is amazing vehicle. You guys did this one justice for sure. Awesome build.

[@peakauto]

Another amazing video, Throtl! We love being part these builds that make such an amazing impact!

[@antbymcnair4297]

That FJ looks amazing! great job on the upgrades

[@Thr33.Sid3z]

I bought an 07 FJ since this video dropped and I friggin love this Truck!

[@alfzai.recond]

What a transformation!! Damnn you guys killed it! 🔥🔥🔥🤘

[@mikewilliams7500]

Great Job Team Throtl!! The car turned out amazing.

[@davidaniag6217]

Simply not just restoring but beauty and stronger excellent TRANSFORMATION,from Philippines your doing a great job!!!

[@jay_wright]

quinn is a fucking savage, my fav dude on the channel, love the wheel mounts

[@RichieMtzF]

what an amazing FJ Cruiser!! Classy, cool and functional!!

[@mordant90]

WOW this came out amazing!!! You did a GREAT job guys!!!!! Greetings from Greece!!

[@fader2701]

Love these end to end episodes!

[@haac4825]

Came out Amazing. Perfect upgrades. Tune up a must. Advance Autoparts Best prices and always has everything. Throtl Team Great job like Always.

[@flyhighq8182]

An amazing transformation, but I would stick with oem radiator hoses.

[@antoniobulanhagui9714]

Throtl is Really the Best Motor Shop!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

[@rickynegrete4066]

Love how the end result came out and I also like the solar panel on the hood that’s gonna be a lifesaver for the owner

[@alexiscalderon5343]

Much love and respect for Mickey wearing his mask and being responsible before his trip. I did the same before my Cancun trip earlier in the year.

[@alecdayberry]

A lot of great upgrades! Only things i would have changed from an off road prospective are proper frame mounted rock sliders, and an integrated winch bumper. The later could just be personal taste though.

[@hungryalien]

for sure on the frame mounted rock sliders.. also add some rock lights on all 4 wheels too for night trails!

[@bigtoepfer]

As I was watching this I was wondering why it didn't have proper rocksliders rather than the rock catchers. And why they added a winch to that bumper. Cool that he got a free winch. But that is definitely not a proper way to mount a winch and it isn't going to hold up to being used.

[@jlare1953]

Incredible job guys!! Y’all know your stuff for sho. 👊🏼

[@johnc4337]

Love the dream build. Keep up the good work Throtl.

[@tg_ali2644]

Best video watched for a FJ till now. Loved it❤

[@xdinked7502]

What a transformation! But I personally wouldve gone with a Matt gunmetal grey, but that's the great thing about wrap, its personal preference n so many colours to choose from. I would be more than happy with this though, nice job guys

[@johnmichael7570]

Yeah my FJ is jelly. Fantastic build

[@sulaimanvoegt4146]

Crazy Transformation 🔥 Job well done1💯 THROTL TEAM 💪

[@imperialtekk9443]

Like that, you guys are running legit suspension on these trucks. I have 2nd gen tacoma with kings 2.5 RR. Haven't been following throtl long. Great work gents.

[@PudgyPedalPusher]

I had a very built (for the time) FJC in 2007 and this tugs on my heart.

[@SaludNaturalTV87]

i love this project. hope more to come.

[@joncot1812]

Hearing you guys talk about offroad stuff is adorable. Keep up the good work 😅

[@RZA0280]

I like the one episode full build too! I hate waiting on the next video. Keep doing that!!!

[@hodad200]

Red is nice. That blue on late model TRD pro’s would have been 🔥

[@PUT_N_WRK]

You guys don't fail. Even with things people might not love at first. This FJ is sick.

[@NKPGarage]

Beautiful build. Love the attention to detail

[@Crypticdragon1]

So cool! Love that red wrap, super clean, but stunning 🔥

[@louischong6540]

Epic build!!! Great content!!!

[@giovanniesparza8015]

I love how Rickie struggled to put the tire on then Quinn comes and puts the tire on so fast and easy with no struggle.

[@roybatty-]

They make custom winch mounts for the FJ cruiser. They bolt directly to the chassis. That welded metal bracket will tear right off the car in a serious recovery.

[@midhun-007]

Somebody living in my dreams ❤️❤️🔥

[@bumblebeeyaj9375]

Love the Toyota FJ, you guys a awesome job.

[@deborahparker3986]

I just bought a Toyota FJ- this rebuild was amazing !

[@khaymenthemogs9129]

Awesome build! I loved my FJ and you did everything I ever wanted to minus a secondary fuel tank. Besides space for my heathen offspring, the only short comming was the short legs on the FJ for up here in AK. Well done guys!

[@janicetelfer6211]

Wow This is incredible! Good job❤ love the color too.
