[@justapeckerwoodthatlivesin9989]

Congrats everyone you watched a $2,000 FJ go to a $200,000 FJ. Sweet rig and worth every penny.

[@austinniemela]

[@jo_nathan_nation6544]

$200k 😂😂😂 GTFOOH! 😂😂 maybe $100k on a good day.

Definitely the Nicest FJ40 Build Ever. Enjoy it.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you, I will!

[@brandomidarraga5547]

No cualquiera hace este arte, increíble, saludos desde Colombia!

[@SBAaen]

That's a lot of work you showed us in just 10 minutes! Awesome build, super quality, and attention to detail. This is an all-out build! Maybe, just for appearance you could make some sort of rear fenders/tubes or something? Thank you for sharing!

[@oldman774]

Very cool, but the rear fenders are missing, even if it is just to finish the look.

[@carlosalvarado5037]

Dude is so talented. Great builders in that family. Austin with the 4x4, Devin with the fast cars and Cam was also skilled with the bikes as well ❤️ much love and support

[@austinniemela]

@@carlosalvarado5037 thank you brother!

Never cease to impress with attention to detail and creating a real-life version of your vision... An absolute beast of an FJ build

[@THE_Tyler_Rogers]

Bro this build had me hooked from the moment you announced it! A 40 is a life goal of mine and it’s pretty awesome to see someone accomplish it for themselves especially to this standard! You gotta show this thing off bro, please consider taking this to some shows and stuff

[@austinniemela]

@@THE_Tyler_Rogers that would be awesome to get it in a show or 2! Thank you!!

O Toyota Bandeirante é um veículo icônico produzido no Brasil pela Toyota entre 1958 e 2001. Ele foi baseado no lendário Toyota Land Cruiser, mas adaptado para as condições brasileiras, com destaque para sua robustez e versatilidade. Aqui estão algumas características principais do Bandeirante: Características gerais: Carroceria: Disponível em várias configurações, como picape, jipe (curto e longo), caminhonete e até versões customizadas. Motorização: No Brasil, o Bandeirante ficou famoso pelo motor diesel Mercedes-Benz OM-314 (4 cilindros), conhecido pela durabilidade. Nos últimos anos de produção, recebeu o motor Toyota 14B (4 cilindros, diesel). Transmissão: Normalmente equipado com câmbio manual de 4 ou 5 marchas, dependendo do modelo e do ano. Tração: Tração 4x4 com reduzida, ideal para terrenos acidentados e uso fora de estrada. Suspensão: Suspensão robusta com feixes de mola, garantindo maior resistência para o trabalho pesado. Uso e popularidade: O Bandeirante é altamente valorizado por agricultores, pecuaristas, aventureiros e entusiastas de veículos off-road. Era amplamente usado em fazendas, obras e até por forças policiais e militares devido à sua confiabilidade e capacidade de enfrentar terrenos difíceis. Fatos interessantes: O nome "Bandeirante" é uma homenagem aos exploradores históricos do Brasil. Foi um dos veículos mais duráveis da Toyota no país, mas sua produção foi encerrada devido à introdução de normas de emissões mais rigorosas, que o motor não atendia. Você tem um Bandeirante ou está pensando em adquirir um?

I don't see a lot of swearing in your comments and you hardly ever do, but I just gotta say it.... Fuck yeah!!!! You killed it. Your builds just keep getting better and better. The process has become more refined with your tool upgrades and constantly evolving skillset. Keep it up brother. I'm looking forward to the next one! Cheers from Vermont!!!

Not much of the old girl left, is there? Oh well, death or modded? I guess I choose modded. I owned one of the 3-speeds for 16 years. Killed 7 clutches and three exhausts offroad during that time. :)
