Finishing Touches To The 4Runner!

[@Jaymes222]

Man I was cracking up when you threw that wrapping sheet, patience to rebuild a transmission but defeated by a corner of a bumper 😂😂 glad you’re back man!

[@austinniemela]

Haha for real! Pissed me off!

[@projectjster]

I think we’ve all been there lmao. Austin has way more patience than I do. Just watching him wire up that Diesel engine was impressive.

[@mjcavender1230]

@@projectjster yeah, the wiring made me grab a beer and a towel to wipe the sweat off my forehead.🤣

I’m living in Jamaica how can I get the fittings to do my 1993 Toyota 4Runner make over

[@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

I have a black 1997 4Runner, that I was wanting to either powder coat, or spray the bumpers with the bed liner type coating. Thanks for getting to yours before I did mine, I like the way yours turned out. Nice job all the way around.

[@likearockcm]

She is gorgeous !!!!! Those head and tail lights really sets it off. My black Tacoma would look unbelievable with them !!!!!!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you man!!

[@northgeorgiagaragedoor568]

Ive missed a couple but your attention to detail always brings me back

[@BigBoyz33]

Just picked up my 4runner last week for winter... its so much fun to drive, i love it !!

[@danbarnes7633]

When you ripped that wrap off and threw it, I had flashbacks. Love your videos!

[@windyboy78]

I had one these Forunners in New Zealand. It was a 2.8l diesel and was indestructible. Great for beaches and ravines! Now I want another one Haha!

[@travismiller9213]

Good to see you up and about. Happy to see your videos again.

[@ryanstewart6121]

Sick! Glad you blacked out the chrome!

[@mycardiy]

This is awesome! Just bought a '96 4runner and can't wait to start diving into it now that I've watched this transformation! I used to own an almost identical 4runner over a decade ago and hated when I sold it. But now I have a same truck to be able to build it how I wanted on the previous one! I've already bookmarked your bumper template and can't wait to make that as it's a perfect design for what I wanted!

[@2endsformacircle762]

Great call on the raptor liner vs. wrapping it.

[@4flyingaries]

Love the 4Runner content. Would love to see more. Keep up on the good recovery 💪🏽

[@JEREMY120983]

Oh! 😎 Very good look for this runner! Very good job Austin.

[@matthewlee2686]

The chrome looks just fine

[@DionisBajrami]

said no one ever haha

[@austinniemela]

@@DionisBajrami 😂 I agree

[@allenhorne7032]

Looks great, glad you're feeling better from the accident. Keep up the good work!

[@ronthompson2366]

Looks fantastic... really like the Raptor liner over the wrap for the bumper. Turned out fantastic. The whole rig looks great. I can think of a dozen more things to do to lol... but that's not up to me. Just turned out to be a great looking rig.

[@user-ft2md2gd4s]

the green toyota pickup and this one are my favorite builds

[@bigospig]

That rear bumper turned out amazing and way better than wrapping it!

[@austinniemela]

Yeah I like the look! Thanks!

[@TheHamdissage]

Glad you're back up and running. This reminds me I need to paint my frame for my truck lol

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

Glad to hear you're doing much better. The 4runner looks amazing. Really wish I had your skills. Everything you do looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, welcome back! Good to see you doing some projects! I have been watching your brother's channel hoping that you would make a guest appearance on it. Can't wait for the conclusion of the Tacoma build!

[@desertheat4659]

The 4Runner look great. A suggestion for a project. Fab a receiver hitch that doesn’t hang below the bumper. The hitch on the 4Runner is similar to my F350. They are an eye sore hanging below the bumper. Great videos.

[@kennybaughman5032]

The hitch is the bumper on that year 4runner the chrome bumper is just for looks basically

[@bobthebuilder6315]

👍👍 again nice job Austin, realy complete's the look again 👍👍

Glad to see, your on the mend!👍🏼

Thanks man!

[@WhiskeyRiverRifleman]

Good to see you back in Action buddy!!

[@suzrtimm5930]

Boy have we missed you, so sorry to have heard about your accident. I’ve been in PT for 3mo and counting.I have to get a cortisone shot in my hip, also my right side is full blown tendinitis. Talk about being held up. Whew. I feel for you. But am so glad to see you back on again 😀👍

[@Tartug1]

I used a product called Trim Black. I scuffed all my chrome and painted it with that. Been on for a few years now and still looks great.

[@Dzynerr]

Now it's done, black beauty!

[@richmill6043]

Welcome back. Glad you are doing well. Now the videos! Great looking truck. Great job.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!

That looks sooo much better, awesome job!

Thank you!

Glad you are Feeling better brother… The Truck looks Great….. 🔥💯👌🏽

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!

[@HarleyRunner]

Black Runners sure are pretty!

[@671967]

Hell yeah! Welcome back Austin!

[@brunobrunosjourney9944]

Just one thought I would add is I would definitely use microfiber towels instead of those regular cloth towels. Those things can leave scratches and swirl marks

[@MrJadeco79]

I think I like the liner look vs the wrap. Especially matching the front

[@flyboy2610]

That looks sweet, Austin!

[@johnnycashh7148]

Glad I watched all the way to where you threw that shit!! 🤣 Did exactly what I was gonna say. Had my Xterra sprayed all the bottom quarter of the rig...wash and go bro!! Been like 8 years and the stuff is still tough as nails. 🍻

[@PNWUpperLeft]

Good to you see you posting again

[@mjcavender1230]

That looks AUsome! I think you will be happier with the Raptor. 👍🏻

[@oakleyjack7600]

Glad to see your improvement Austin. 👍

[@rickygomez4371]

Would love to see you DIY a Prinsu Style Roof rack on the 4Runner with your fab skills.

[@abpsd73]

With the wrap on the bumper corners, you have to heat up the sheet and pull/stretch it into place to avoid the wrinkles, since the distance around the curve is longer than the top/bottom edges. Downside is with the matte black it looks a little more glossy when it's stretched.

[@JoshD10]

Nicely done man. She looks great 👍🏽

[@Shredmeista]

I had a 3rd gen runner before. I wish I would have wrapped the bumpers. Looks so good.

[@ryguy08781]

Great work as always, glad your wing is feeling better bud, thanks for the video . 👍

Just picked up a 2000 SR5 with 207k on it for 1700 bucks. I'm so pumped up.

Tinted back lights will be just enough for me... but ok if you are happy... why not 😊

[@bramosh]

looks awesome Austin

[@markbithrey3635]

Great job mate come up mint I think the raptor looks better then the wrap anyway also little bit of heat with a heat gun can bring the plastics up like new too it gets rid of they grey starting to come through

[@tiremanboozer]

Killin it like always. Good job brother.

[@thepitpatrol]

Beautiful job!

[@darciwalter3919]

Looks so Awesome 😎

[@carlosbarreras2030]

Baeutifull work where did you buy the front bumper.

[@austinniemela]

I built it and actually sell build plans for it! www.avrcustoms.com

[@trevorcash2024]

can you sandblast that bumper and powder coat to match the front?

[@CarlosMartinez-xv5zd]

Bad ass 4runner!!

[@jasondye8620]

I’ve been hoping you’d build a rear bumper for the 4Runner maybe in the future. I think a full size matching spare on a swing out mount would look good.

[@frediefarmer]

Looks awesome. Love the tail lights. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@jimmadonna1436]

Glad to see you feeling better. My Dirt bike was stolen from my shed, it was locked up, the shed door was locked and the gate was locked. My neighbors across the street from me do and sell METH. They are always working on something at all hours. They say that they saw nothing. I want to smash in someone's head, but I have no proof. The last time I was APOPLECTIC like this I was fighting 5 people. Luckily for me, they were drug addicts. When the cops got there, I was tazed. I was out numbered and still I got tazed. Anyway, I'm glad you are feeling better and are back in the shop. Sorry for the long winded comment! ✌

[@kilmerartmamaril3002]

Muradic Acid removes enough chrome to allow paint to stick very well however, I’ve only done it with small parts

[@todddiehl7252]

Looking sick bro .

[@ChereZOV333]

У этого парня золотые руки

[@andrewlawrence1169]

I would assume the right primer for that scuffed chrome would be self-etch before bedlining it? I don't know much about different paint types but I am raptor lining the chrome on my truck with everything else. Was told the way to go was to just get self-etch for any metal spots. Also what moisture/oil filter setup would you recommend for a 30gal air compressor?

[@austinniemela]

Bare metal likes etching primer or epoxy. Chrome i use epoxy

[@jr7414]

Nice job👍🏻

[@Anders0nic]

I had an idea you were just going to end up matching the rear to the front bumper. Looks better that way. Also, the busted up shoulder comes through in a few shots when it’s obvious you have consciously avoided using that arm. I know the feels man.

[@naveday]

Great work

[@jeffreyb9570]

Looks good🤙🏼

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Very good, looks great

[@Cr8zibam]

so focus on wrapping up the bumper that i was paying really close attention until (shhhhhhrik) rip off the wrap and call it a day! that was really hilarious! to be honest i bet everybody who watches your channel didn’t skip but curiously watch your next move!

[@CharlezRichard]

I would have Raptor lined the plastic rear bumper cover as well.

[@Invincibletro]

Now you should build a cargo basket for the roof.

[@samcanter1806]

Looks great 👍

[@jasonquintanilla2105]

How much would you charge to make another front bumper, I really like how much clearance there is from the bumper to the front wheels

[@scottblake6850]

4 runner looks sweet! Glad your feeling better ! Hey you should go teach your brother how to paint lol I follow his channel too

[@larrybrownlee9255]

Looks great! (except for the trailer plug hanging down in the back) LOL Very clean 4Runner

Thanks 👍
