It's a prayer my friend and I'm not even religious. All the best to you and your family.

Flat bed 👍 Flaps 👍 Camera 👍 better auto focus It's difficult to make flaps like that look good u did a pretty good job in what was possible , the abs cover did look better after the second try , blends nicely . You're doing a fenomenal job with the truck , flaps give it a "Baja look" the exhaust tip coming out in the back would look cool too !

[@hautala88]

Dude that trick with the nutserts was genius

[@johnpyle8027]

Normally I am not a fan of flat beds on non dual wheel trucks, but you knocked this out of the park! Mud flaps another thumbs up! If the inner fender is a concern, cover it and the frame in whatever you coated the bed with and I bet you wouldn't notice it. I still like the wheels, just old school and would like to see them on some 15s. Not a flaw, I'm just an old guy and I used to get pissed that my 3/4 tons had 16.5s! lol

[@maryspeight2840]

Damn , just when I asked about the flat bed, I ran across this. Awesome again, now I got to start watching the next series. Mucho Thanks. Guy Speight

[@austinniemela]

[@richardvargas9224]

Truck looks so much better with the new camera👍

[@BStrick1993]

Hey thanks man!!

[@clikuk3719]

[@mikerobbins5049]

Truck bed looks great and the flaps look like they will work well.

[@vksubra1953]

You know, the new camera is great. The process you used for deciding the "fenders" and the mud flaps were great. The results were very good. Thanks for sharing

[@mykee426]

Kind of looking like the truck Grind Hard Plumbing built. Badass

[@robertbarnett3409]

I love the way that you integrated the mud flaps into the bed you have done a great job on the entire bed you could make some money designing flat beds and building them.

[@gregjohnson4760]

Absolutely love what you’ve done, definitely one of my favorite people to watch now

[@ryanwingler8217]

Love all your videos man keep it up I find myself watching your older stuff like this and looking at your web site hopping plans appear for this flat bed!

[@Timr45_70]

What a nice clean look you created with the inner fenders , love your fabrication skills with the flap mounting brackets . Looks great keep putting out the videos of this project.

[@cccorvette]

The flatbed looks great. Can't wait to see the next phase of the project.

[@livinthedream3554]

Looking great man. Love the no-nonsense approach to your videos. A real build with no fluff. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to tagging along with your next build.

[@johnlynn4945]

What a huge difference covering the side up! This truck is gonna be awesome!!!!!

[@BolteBuilt]

Yeah the new camera was a good choice, colors look better and quality is damn good. Love the truck. I’m all about a diesel swap lol

[@adamsankey8702]

The new camera is amazing and I’m totally in love with that flat bed dead set it looks that good on the truck 👌👌👌

[@harrysack8834]

Your attention to detail is amazing!

[@gurjindersingh199]

I love it bro. Even the exhaust looks so much better. Always improving 💪

[@koreanjeep]

I really like how this flatbed is turning out, you have done a great job! The camera upgrade was really good to, can't wait for future uploads! Keep it up 😁

[@thomasferguson3398]

This will be the next channel to blow up on KZbin. Much deserved. Great content.

[@kirkzahn6212]

Video quality is much sharper with the new camera. Focus adjusts really quickly. Audio seems better too. I’m definitely liking the wider flaps.

[@f1rstclass596]

Awesome craftsmanship as usual. Love the mud flaps. Congratulations on new camera, lighting and quality are improved. Stay safe.

[@charlie2king]

The flaps are awesome And hiding the gaps underneath is mint

[@anthonyreddy2834]

[@austinniemela]

Gavin Lindberry thanks man! I appreciate it!!

[@Dawry]

Bed and flaps are amazing. Congrats on 11k subs and new camera!

[@GrizzlyPath]

Hell yeah man, thanks for producing the content! You’re definitely getting better and I’m sure the new camera will help! Looking forward to the rest of the Taco body work.

[@vwfez8697]

love the flat bed! looking forward to seeing the rest of the build

[@MsJosh4455]

I have watched the whole build of the bed... and all I can say is wow!!!! What a job man that thing is awesome... like you not big on the flaps but turned out alright I guess and yea wow!!!

[@melidigitaki1475]

Nice flaps, goes well to the angles of the flat bed. 😍😍

[@mobileweldingandtrailerrep3762]

You nailed it on the shape of the flaps. It might look cool with a couple metal trim strips at the bottom of the flaps that match the top plates.

[@allanwagner4570]

I really like the build!!!!..... however I think it looks MUCH BETTER without those flaps run without them I do

[@robertjerger2786]

Pretty nice work.... think u did a awesome job.... nothing looks cheesy or cheap about it. Looking forward to ur next video.

[@nicholassandy5470]

Lookin killer sir!!!! Keep up the videos. Have really enjoyed watching this truck cone together .

[@Shop_Simplicity]

The truck is looking good!!

[@Faithful_Tribe]

Austin, great to see your work, and congrats on the new camera for the channel.

[@toxicrc7681]

Another awesome job can’t wait to see what you do with the paint on the cab

[@letkemanfabworks619]

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@jonathan1989torres]

This Flat bed man, makes me want to buy a truck just to do the same, the styling cues and the funcion ,damn this is a good looking flatbed

[@bamastead5126]

It all looks great man ! Awesome build

[@izh7186]

Looking forward all your interesting built...good job!

[@Rustycar4wd]

Awesome build definitely agree with you the inner fender came out way better over the top of the frame there.

[@MrTapanes]

Really like the inner fenders. Looks much better after you made the change.

[@TheHillbillydelux]

Build is going great buddy 👍🏼👍🏼 Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼

[@gerardcurran8664]

Rather have a quality late video than one with filler content.....unreal craftsmanship, and a class project!!! Interesting to see how she drives for you......looks a tad tail-happy😃!! Nice one on the new camera, you deserve all you get man👌

[@coherantbliss3483]

very nice design and fabrication...I think your vids helped me decide to build a flatbed for my lifted 1 ton 4x4 dually....with your design features thanks! I was leaning towards just putting the stock bed back on....but I'm liken what I see here bud.

[@Buddhhaa]

Great build series mate, nice to see outside the box

[@robertyouker3168]

Every thing about that bed looks killer

[@robperkins2674]

Nice clean! Truck is looking awesome man.

[@johnnytran2371]

Dude this looks so good. I have always wanted a tacoma. This makes me want to build a flat deck tacoma!!!

[@haydenerlandsen8295]

Damn the flaps look pretty good for flaps, and the build is sick, keep the vids coming!

[@mrmasterofall]

Camera is so nice. Love the channel makes me wanna start working on my old 77' k30. Flaps look so good too hate flaps but actually look good on the truck! Keep on keepin on

[@kymharvey2355]

Good job man loving the look Can't wait to see it shot in some new colour It's something that's kept me very interested although I'm going the single cab 4 link rear end 3 link front end and 500hp om606 Mercedes 💪💪💪

[@Ryker802]

I’ve been looking at flatbed ideas for awhile for my Yotas, came across your videos and instantly subscribed. Awesome stuff man!

[@austinniemela]

Gabriel Rivera III thanks man! I appreciate it!

[@brocksinclair66]

look at australian 4x4's. we have all the toyotas and the utes are all tray back

[@Jonepeikko]

The flaps are a ok! Also your way of using those thread inserts was clever!

[@joshuacrisman5863]

Looks amazing. Giving me ideas for my Cherokee build

[@MakeQuickEasyMoney]

Stellar work!

[@scottblake6850]

The whole build looks very good nice job

[@jason328d6]

Went from 10k to over 11 quick! Gonna jump soon. Gonna have to start a new build series soon.

[@robertpowers7856]

dude, home run, awesume fabricating and welding skills.

[@jaredross3089]

I'm like you I honestly don't like mud flaps but you killed it everything looks awesome I can't wait to see the finished project

[@TheMechanicDave]

Love the progress that truck looks sweet!

[@rogerkisling8869]

Enjoyed watching videos.. good clean work..

[@tonymorlani2464]

Looks awesome!

[@boozecruisinoffroad]

Im glad you went plan b on the inner fenders and the flaps looks badass. Im not a fan of mud flaps but those are clean

[@SoCal_rnr]

You're hitting every pitch, keep it up looks good

[@jimmadonna1436]

I like your filler cap cover. As long as fuel goes in the tank your good. You may have to pump it slow. I did the same thing with mud flaps. I had no choice the cops used to pull me over daily to measure the bumper height and tire protruding from the truck. 30 inches was the max. Again congratulations with the growth of the channel.

[@tommydanger2564]

Those turned out nice.

[@waltkasak6631]

Looks really good.

[@bradleyhyland2953]

Looking real nice.well done 👍

[@jim9310]

Looking great mabey at the bottom of the flaps use some strips of stainless steel. Love the truck! When your ready to move on to another project and want to sell PLEASE get a hold of me. I will fly out to you and but that truck. It's a great quality build with great craftsmanship!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you! I dont see it going for sale anytime soon but you never know!!

[@willb3018]

The wider version is definitely better. While you are right that flaps never really look good, by making them something different than a plain "everybody has them" rectangle you certainly made an improvement. You nailed it on the "inner fenders".

[@MrPatGuit]

Nice work 🤩

[@eugenecourtney1778]

Look'in Fantastic!!!

[@josephwomack5820]

Looks great!!

[@margar1983]

nice build. Love the bed

[@PauloLima-bm3eo]

Man nice truck you have there specially the work you have done on it awesome job I'm jealous LOL. Your new camera is nice will be waiting for next video.

[@duurrick]

Sick truck man

[@cbmhuntinfishin9593]

Legend with the welder

[@alburvill7034]

Looking awesome cool idea with the abs might have to try it on mine

[@davidgreen144]

Flaps look as good as they can 👍🏽

[@jakebanack3605]

I like the flaps, definitely nice to have them be removable so if you actually take it off hwy they don’t get in the way, bent or broke off.

[@MrPePeLePuo]

Looking good!

[@jason328d6]

Good job again. Need the removable flaps for when you get fix it tickets. We used to buy the big rig flaps and cut in half to make two for back of yota. That was the right size for my 35x10 swamppers

[@danielclark4125]

Looks great. Your right mud flaps are a pain and look bad but what you did came out as good as you can make it and it does match the overall build very well. New camera looks good too.

[@aaronlavergne7359]

Looks good fits it well

[@brickyau2983]

Great tip for the rivnuts

[@wadee4907]

Looks good. Only suggestion is you might roll a flare over the top of the tire and down into a mud flap. Might look a little cleaner and keep mud from shooting up and into your bed too.

[@madcratebuilder]

Outstanding.

[@craftaurel1971]

Nice build keep it up.

[@MrBolinger]

Frame cover is a really nice touch.

[@OneManTrail]

If you have to have them to be legal, you should have made them long enough to actually protect the cars behind you. You’re doing a great job on this project. 👍

[@davidzimmer2694]

Passed this vid the other day and came back. Nice work, great creativity on the flat bed. Scribed because fabricator. Lol

[@austinniemela]

David Zimmer thanks!!

[@ff-mu6cc]

KZbin recommend this video to me. Cool stuff!
