I Sold The Diesel Swapped Toyota Tacoma!!!

[@d9daprogrammer]

Oh man that one is literally one of my favorite builds on the channel. Reason I actually started following 😂...

[@jahanzaibaries-4731]

First fj complet

[@gdrathore1105]

Likewise bro. I just loved that one😢

[@xtrm.mayhem4098]

Wish I knew it was for sale. I would have sold my future for that truck.....

[@phoenixsmith9433]

I started watching before the green truck and did love that build, but I really can't wait to see what you'll build next. The FJ has been cool and a good learning experience for us all. I'm excited to see what's next because with this guy, the sky feels like the limit.

[@parleybrown9431]

Thanks for the opportunity to own it! Been loving it!

[@JuanMartin-dj4tb]

I’m not gonna lie I’m kind of sad to see this one go. I’ve been watching the channel from the very beginning and I can see where you have applied lessons learned and refined everything under that detailed eye of yours. I know this one hurts a little bit to see gone but I know bigger and better things are coming. Go for you bro!!! don’t change keep doing what your doing what. you’re doing, we’ll be watching.

[@WisdomInTheWoods]

Curious on how much it sold for. Such a clean truck!

[@1ALrX]

I'd think he made at least 3-5k on it. He prob. will make more from the build series. He published his build price in one of the series.

[@bob15479]

people on another video said that he replied to a comment and said $35k. sad. if it were a commissioned work it would be towards $100k.

[@WisdomInTheWoods]

@@bob15479 not likely

[@bob15479]

@@WisdomInTheWoods at least 60 right? He put a lot of skilled labor into it . $35k in parts alone.

[@KH102695]

Such a nice truck. With all the work you put into it I can imagine how tough it was to sell it.

[@martinquintana5837]

You do awesome work Austin on anything you work on, your channel will go very far with the content you produce. Aloha from Kansas

[@rosendofj40bigblock7]

Great build, I bet thats one happy Tacoma owner , Glad to see you putting that back into the shop and projects

[@etoniatuivanuakula9287]

Austin has a crazy work ethic and just by watching how much time and effort he puts into his build is beyond crazy! anyone whose going to buy a car off him is defiantly lucky1. Proud of you brother !

[@C-J-Outdoors]

It's sad to see something you put your heart into go but you gotta do what you must. I sold my 05 Tundra Limited with 50k miles on it 2 months ago, I put a 3 in lift, rebuilt the front end drive train because of age, put 18x10 moto metal wheels 5 of them with Nitto Grappler G2's. I put a lot into it, The first guy who came and saw it fell in love with it, bought it right then and there. Looking forward to the FJ completion.

[@davidtaylor3544]

Seeing that truck for the last time as the new owner was driving away was sad and cool at the same time. You put a lot of work into it, and it looks so good on the road.

[@kealahau6727]

Love it when builders sell their cars and don t get too attached ...others can enjoy, it doesn t just sit...pretty lucky guy that truck is nice...

[@dannymacpherson7155]

The main thing I remember from that series was the detail in painting it. how long it took to get everyhting right was inspiring.

[@nonsequitur807]

I see you color matched the steering column. Great show👍🏾

[@jsvallee567]

that was a sick build like everything you build austin ! cant wait to see that FJ final result !

[@Flyrudo]

No lie my favorite build on KZbin. Going to miss this one

[@2THGap]

What a lucky duck that guy! Sad to see it go but excited for the next projects in line like the FJ. Thanks for the update.

[@reaper352c5]

i am sad to see the tacoma go. it has always been my favorite truck that you built. i am currently searching for one so i can build my own.

[@joelturner1849]

I feel your pain man. I sold my 77 f250 I resto-moded with a 7.3idit last year to fund a cabin for my family. But I still have my 01 Taco BHW build inspired by you! Keep up the great builds Austin. If you ever need any help with the old 7.3, hmu

[@ironmancj]

i loved it dude, owning things like that will motivate you. did a good job brother

[@mountainlifewithdavidkelsie]

WHAAAATTT!!!!??? Congrats to the buyer!!! Such an amazing build tho Austin you are one hell of a builder for sure! Sad to see it go but I know it will help with future builds. Take care we wish you good health and happiness!

[@adrenalinetube7545]

Can you say how much you let it go for?

[@kip8790]

I bought a Hilux just as you started to do this, sorry you e needed to sell it but you know what the FJ is going to be so awesome. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for it.

[@BansheeBridage]

Congratulations. Seems like it will be well loved at its new home. So whats next??? Tow rig? 😏

[@dtemplman7816]

Another rad truck by AVR Customs 👍😎

[@norcoredneck]

Austin you look so intense when he was test driving the truck. Sad to see it go. Thought you had a shell for it.

[@P.Trim69]

Love the color bought Nissan in fall 93. That black emeral nice color.

[@timothyroberthaley]

Austin, where did you list it for sale? Same with with the other trucks you have sold? Where are you advertising these?

[@kasimbamunthali952]

For me the best way to test the fan clutch is to rave your engine to 2000rpm, keep it there and listen to the fan, if the fan changes the sound pitch from high to low then it's okay... I tried this on a Volvo fh V5 and most Toyota vehicles especially Dyna.

[@AM4project]

we can help by commenting and telling you how much we love your updates. I hope this channel picks up

[@g15942]

Sad to see that one go

[@spikesforge9000]

@ Austin Niemela I have a 96 tacoma 2.7 4x4 what will it take to put a 3.4 in it. Any suggestions will help.

[@vicvig88]

Just subbed to the channel because of this green gem! Sad to see it go

[@joecruiser]

A sad moment, Austin. On to the FJ, excited to see the end result. Ps. I have a '89 FJ62 3F petrol guzzler here in the SA bushveld which I will never part with. The TLC needs some TLC though. Good luck

[@thegonger1]

He didn't take the camper shell? Anyway, you put your heart and soul into that beauty and hard to see it drive away. I hope he does some content on it on his trip back to Arizona and post it to Facebook. Do you have any footage of the sale of Big Red? Keep up the good work!

[@parleybrown9431]

I wanted the shell he had already sold it

[@odevious8081]

Man i love that truck cant wait to see the fj done

[@luissamayoa8824]

😢😢😢😢😢 a very good ship we will miss it in the videos in the garage!!

[@kflo1219]

Oh…my heart is in pain for you. That has been my fav build so far…I have a maroon 03 myself and I’d love for it to look like yours!🥹

[@fuego_jonny6528]

Is there a website I can look at these vehicles ?

[@cruiserkev1976]

I had to sell my 1st gen Tacoma to fund my FJ40 addiction as well. Miss that truck but the cruiser is so much more fun. 👍

[@MG-sg2ci]

Any idea what it sold for?

[@kcwyrick7947]

Commenting because I'm curious too

[@luis132413]

X3 😅

[@fomocore]

Definitely made a work of art. I used to dream of a truck like that.

[@trolzealot8635]

oh really ? Don't you think I messed it up with that engine? I think it's the worst tacoma I've ever seen

[@ryguy08781]

Love your channel and builds, but your breaking my heart selling the diesel trucks...😢, but understand, keep up the awesome work ! 👍

[@soulis1000]

Sad to see it go... Thats a nice truck for sure.

[@keilormarin7668]

Que bien 👍🏼. Esperemos en algún momento traer uno a CR. Pura vida

[@synyster0901]

Hopefully you read this, but I just now finally Sub'd idk what I was waiting for. I have LOVED watching this tacoma build series and learning from it. I would seriously pay you to do something very similar to my 03 double cab. I didn't know you have a website so I will also be sending a DM via that, but I am serious about it. I have the ALH already, and plan to do something almost identical to what you have done here.

[@turnerables]

Did you ever dyno this before selling it?

[@aydenjonassen9993]

how much did u sell it for? if u dont mind me asking

[@faizalijal9143]

the guy who buy that truck is so lucky..hope you will be more succes

[@eduardomontoya858]

I feel for you bro. Stay strong my dude

[@chasemcmurray3737]

You should build the white ford long bed truck next. That would be an awesome build.
