Toyota Pickup Flatbed Build Episode 6 Ready For Paint!!!

[@lsxdirtbag1530]

This was probably cheaper than finding a clean bed i think i might go this route on my xtra cab yota thanks for the inspiration austin

[@darkwater482]

Even unfinished that’s probably the best looking flatbed I’ve ever seen. You may want a couple weep holes up front so the water doesn’t stand there.

[@hardracer]

Was thinking the same

[@paullowry4256]

I dont even have a flatbed nor want one, but I've watched your entire build and love it! Great work

[@richardvargas9224]

I have never been a fan of flat beds, until I saw your creation, it looks awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@bradywilliams2666]

I'm not really a fan of them either. But this one looks very good. I have been thinking of building one for our 84 Chevy Crew cab. We put a slide in camper on it for the summer. I could put tool boxes on the sides and have a bunch more storage for gear.

[@bard44]

might be a good idea to put a breaklite on your headache rack too. Beautiful looking flatbed .You did a good job!

[@jimmadonna1436]

Austin, woah! That is the most beautiful Flat bed I've ever seen. You really thought about this! I can't believe how much attention to detail and work that went into this. Your are an amazingly talented young Man. I can't begin to thank you for this channel. I really look forward to hearing the notification sound go off and it's you or Cameron. Talent runs in your family with abundance. Peace.

[@BIGWIGGLE223]

I am loving that flatbed!!!!! That is awesome!! You should seriously consider making kits. If you kept all your templates you could make plans that others could buy.

[@garethl.2123]

Looking better every day! I'm excited for the next couple videos!

[@markdicker2732]

When you've got welds that good leave them on show

[@rjsparling1696]

Austin, Great build I love what your doing. Thanks for sharing your process, I'm getting great ideas. One idea I had for you to consider is an aftermarket flush mount fuel filler cap. Similar to the kind on a motorcycle gas tank. No worries of mud issues or need for your fabricated cover box with them, and saves on your back during fillup time. If your fully committed to the setup you've got now I understand, but perhaps an upgrade for the future once you've hit the pump a few times. Thanks again, Cheers!

[@nissan1580sx]

progress looking good

[@tommydanger2564]

I love your attention to detail.

[@adamhetherington839]

AWESOME work mate!!

[@scottpetrie8707]

Coming along nicely!!

[@harrymottram2599]

Looking good, surprised you didnt tig the long joint though if you were worried about grinding the welds back

[@PFSdutch666]

really like this flat bed design! really like this style of video! really like the work you put in to it! keep up the good work!

[@bob14219]

nice job - enjoyed the build - steel shot or crushed glass blasting the entire bed before painting the epoxy primer would have been money well spent

[@Timr45_70]

Looking great ! Love the design, great attention to detail.

[@welderse14]

Are you not concerned the bed liner will be slippery if wet and muddy? A overlay of expanded metal could provide traction

[@andrewprina931]

I really like those tie downs. I didn’t think about mine much and I just kinda copied the idea from my goose neck and used square u bolts with springs on the underside to keep them pulled down when not in use. Yours are definitely stronger!

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Awesome video thank you

[@shaunpalgen5088]

Amazing work, but man do I wonder how much wire and gas you went through!

[@austinniemela]

Shaun Palgen one spool and not even a tank!

[@melidigitaki1475]

Love your attention to detail. The look of the flat bed is just super tough!!!😍😍😍😍

[@twowheelslater7112]

I would look bad ass to just sand it down polish it and clear it. Then fab a front bumper the same way.

[@robertbanas8283]

Looks really good! Doing something on a Ranger! Love it man!

[@johndelaney5889]

I've really enjoyed watching at the bed video series so far. The only thing I think I would of done differently is the raised angle fender part. I think it would of benefited from having an 1 5/8" lip so some L-track could be fited and the rear most tie downs deleted. Other than that it looks great.

[@j.walker3498]

expanded metal window in headache rack

[@hardracer]

I would say your box around the the fill is a super idea...I totally understood what you were doing right off the bat....my thinking though would be that's more of a protector from rocks/pebbles being thrown up from the treads of those big meaty bone tires and breaking the cap..good job so far man!..I just found your vids and sub'd....I'm interested now.

[@williamhorn4290]

Just make 1 drawer between the rear wheel and the end of the cab. Attacjed to the bed of course xD on the trail you always need storage! Imagine later on down the line when you want to get an air locker for your axels, you can put it in there. Or recovery gear like nilon lines or whatever! Trust me man, you'll miss it....lving the bed so far man! can't wait to see it finished and instaled!

[@southerngaming4624]

What kind of motors in that truck? Plus that things sick!

[@austinniemela]

TDI Diesel

[@Pauloafff]

So much work to be done , you been nailing it , the coolest thing ever is to build something ourselves , I'm glad u have the knowledge the tools and the space for it . Weird is people not understanding about the fuel tap cover , English is not my first language and I understood it , the wheel is so close and it is an off road truck , it simply makes sense 🤷🏻‍♂️ The bed looks cool kinda slightly "new electric truck" style

[@eugenelamm7941]

What are you using for your rear side marker? If you notice all US vehicles require it. This is why the Manufacturers have the slight wraparound of the rear taillights. Awesome job BTW. Beats the commercial flatbeds I build.

[@adamlukasik8319]

Looks great, any idea on a finished weight?

[@austinniemela]

Adam Lukasik should be around 500 pounds

[@neil1150]

Looking good. I thought you had said you wanted to prime the top face of the cafe before welding the sheet steel on ?

[@stephaniegarcia7138]

I want to put this flatbed on my Toyota Tacoma-4 cylinder. How heavy is this flatbed?

[@austinniemela]

id guess 550lbs

[@keshmo12]

Nice work. How much does that thing weigh? Might want to go with some heavier springs. The payload of a Tacoma is like 1600 pounds? Doesn't leave very much room for cargo if you don't upgrade springs/axles.

[@austinniemela]

roughly 500 pounds. I do have F150 leafs with extra leafs added to them!

[@fishpony1211]

Just amazing!!! Drivers tailight looks tilted a bit but that might be because its not screwed down tight! Great work though!!

[@austinniemela]

Fish Pony not bolted in at all!! Lol

[@KingsDisasterGarage]

Awesome job💪🏼 can’t wait to see more progress

[@TheDeadwood11]

looking great man

[@mycrazyfamilyreviews3798]

That look hecky good. Makes me want to do that

[@ZJ_Rubicon]

Looking great! Your giving me so many ideas.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Hindsight is 20/20. For tie downs a crisscrossing of t-tracks would have been super nice. Or better yet L-track. Put your tie downs almost anywhere you want or not at all. Oh well. Your next flatbed....

[@chrisnaumannlandscaping6409]

This bed looks great, I'm gonna do something similar for my f350.

[@2006silvi82]

This build looks amazing! You wouldnt happen to remember where you got the LED taillights would you?

[@austinniemela]

i got them on etrailer.com

[@2006silvi82]

@@austinniemela, thank you!

[@twowheelslater7112]

I have used that raptor liner with varying success. It stuck well to factory paint on bumpers but it shrank and cracked over body work in a bed. Its polyurethane. I honestly didnt like the stuff. Its to brittle and get s gouged a little easy plus its slippery. line x with the uv package is worth the extra money.

[@klugersgarage2802]

dope build, Where did you get those tail lights? I might want to use those on my FC build.

Hey, man are you a qualified fabricator or you just enjoy doing this kind of stuff. It looks great hopefully do something similar to my next pickup. Support from Australia

I just do this stuff in my shop!

Neat, it looks slick dude. You think it's gonna collect much water?

Beautiful clean built ...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 what’s the weight ...

[@austinniemela]

roughly 500 pounds

[@garethwalker847]

love this tray, thinking about something like this for a square body dually chevy

[@high5acresfarm]

Again....Outstanding brother....saving all your vids ..for when I attempt my flatbed later this year....very inspiring!...anxious for the next video 👍

[@merlerosenberger7988]

Why? Did you cut the piece after you used the hole saw. You could have went with just the hole.

[@kriswinger7287]

A 1" hole isnt very big.

[@imonkeyi]

top notch, I want one for my '04 taco!

you can get rid of that scale on the steel with muriatic acid, it loves to eat scale.

[@kriswinger7287]

Im pretty sure u explained the whole gas "door" thing when u was making it. I dont understand where they could have possibly been confused. OBVIOUSLY u will b taken this thing off road. 99.8745% of vehicles on the road have a fuel door. Why wouldn't yours? 🤔😁

[@gelyvessalacup6412]

Instead of painting it put a raptor liner on it

The flatbed, looks very heavy, almost too heavy looking.
