Cool scuff panel fix. You do everything extremely well!! The truck looks really good.

[@jeremyb5293]

I think it looks absolutely amazing all together, you did an awesome job on the carpet and everything!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@BOFA229]

A steamer would help relax the carpet

[@davepelfrey3958]

It would make a huge difference. Relax the carpet better.

[@MussaKZN]

A Steamer would fuck the carpet and then the truck would smell like shit!!

[@ianjimenez9769]

Try some essential oils and calm soothing music if steamer doesn't work.

[@theravedaddy]

@@MussaKZN why would a new carpet cleaned with steam 'smell like shit'? They steam carpets to clean them.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

[@trex4586]

Man the amount of detail you put into your builds is incredible!! Love how you do everything like factory or even better than factory, keep up with the good videos not sure how you don't have a million sub's yet

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man! We’ll get there someday 👍

[@GrizzlyPath]

Fresh new carpet is a game changer for an old vehicle. Looks great!!

[@philgriswold2133]

When you were working around the shifters, I thought the chrome ring went on top, but yo did the ole tuck thing and make it look even better. Good job, but definitely a little more that a weekend warrior job.

[@TheAlaskaCajun]

Bro, that is gonna be one clean truck when you get done.

[@WisdomInTheWoods]

After a long days work of nonstop stress you seem to bring me down to earth on things that I want to do on my Yota... go figure bro! Nice attention to detail!

[@austinniemela]

Glad to help!!

[@thomasmurphy5906]

You look like a professional carpet installer, excellent work, clean and comfortable in the cab, bucket seats, bumper next ☮️

[@adamthatguy454]

How come you didn't put any sound deadening mat (dynomat) in while you hade it apart?

[@Steve-jy1vd]

Or temperature insulation at minimum. Much disappoint

[@Congruesome]

I just put a carpet from the same manufacturer in my ‘89 ex cab 4x (3vze), and I was really happy with the quality of it. I spent a little less than $300, I think because I got the extra thick backing to deaden noise and for insulation. Either that or I got ripped off, if you were under two. Anyway, yeah, had to cut in the shifters, seatbelts and trim the length and width. But, better large than small! I didn’t have a carpet to use as a pattern, because I did the last one myself using an un-formed marine carpet, and I’m not a carpet guy, so I cut it all up removing it. Live and learn. It wasn’t quite right anyway. But the point is, it’s a really high quality carpet, all molded for the pickup, and it went great putting it in. I removed the belts, the lower dash (for another reason, but it made good room), the front seats, the plastic trim at the back under the rear seats and the center console. I worked off the two ridges formed for the underseat wire raceways or seat bolting stiffeners, and it went great. Can’t remember last time I bought something and thought to myself “this is a really nice high quality thing!” It looks great. That is all. As you were.

[@timbales3652]

My kit is going in this weekend. Got the buckets fitted.Now take them back out and fit the carpet.Think I will do what was suggested, lay the carpet in and turn the heater on for about a half hour.

[@82khai]

Between mean green and flat bed red, I don't know which one I love more. Both trucks look so good! Great job!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!!

[@Christ_Enjoyer]

Glad I found your channel. I recently got my hands on a 93 pickup that has had some serious neglect and I've been restoring slowly. Loving the attention to detail man, good stuff! Gonna pickup a black vinyl floor set from that supplier

[@joshs564]

I have an 89 almost identical truck as you. I’m so glad I finally found a channel I can follow and get ideas! I’m installing an OEM black vinyl floor(easier to clean). Keep up the good work 👏🏽

[@austinniemela]

Awesome!! Enjoy the video! Thank you!

[@pitbullgamer8116]

A tip for next time leave the seat bolts in the floor put carpet in then cut a X over the bolt then push carpet down over bolt makes finding seat bolt holes easy

[@simiansociety]

I've never seen this done before. Thinking about doing the same with my 99 Tacoma. Thanks for sharing!

[@noahvega1442]

The Niemela boy’s are badass! Honestly super unrated content👏🏽

[@davidberry2188]

Really enjoy your videos . You do a great thorough job on everything and I'm a Toyota truck fan so that makes it even better . I also hope you do put black wheels on it that will really bring it to life .

[@scottblake6850]

Carpet looks amazing! Nice job! Looking forward to the next video

[@babygrinchgirl]

Videos are awesome. I picked up a '94 single cab for my son. Looking to do some work on it this winter and these projects are what we're looking to do.

[@vah-mingmoua9599]

I really appreciate your passion. I understand you are doing thing on a budget because of your followers, but I would have opt for all oem parts as there are no equivalent. Well done tho.

[@bob_frazier]

Excellent video answered so many of my interior restoration questions. Thank you Austin!!!

[@austinniemela]

Glad I can help!! 👍

[@12collier]

Turned out better than I thought it would. I can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@alexjackson9378]

Carpet looks great and I’m digging this build series! If you ever decide to do an engine swap you should totally do an Mercedes OM606 diesel because that would be badass

[@MussaKZN]

Yer mate OM606 FJ40

[@landonshult3456]

Nice work love this series

[@ftlbaby]

That graphite paint would look great on those wheel flares ; )

[@ronthompson2366]

A clothing steamer helps with the carpet in forming, smoothing and shaping. Additionally you can get inexpensive insulation to install on the floor. Which is a great sound deadening. There are expensive, "car / truck " brands on the market. But you can get the less expensive "insulation " from pretty much any hardware store.

[@XM137]

Look for a set of Leather seats out of a 2005 Jetta as the passenger side seat will fold flat, I have a set in my 2000 Taco.

[@logan.vanderbeck]

Super clean as always

[@tatump6474]

I didn't think I would like this series and now its my favorite. Well done!

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!!

[@christianzepeda5942]

The truck is being super complete, I like it a lot brother, greetings from Mexico

[@KingEdward64]

I've seen people on youtube using a heat gun to tighten up the carpet. it seems to work pretty well.

[@willb3018]

Carpet looks great. Gray/green is a classic combination.

[@jcl1201]

Great attention to details 👍

[@afireinside909]

Damn it’s coming along nicely 👌

[@abelvillanuevacano7563]

Hell yeah badass Toyota ..😎😎💎

[@Anders0nic]

I used the same company for my carpet replacement on my last 85. I opted for the extra thick batting on the underside. The extra thickness required a little extra shaving here and there for bolt alignment and such. I had the original carpet to use as a template though. It appears you weren’t so lucky.

[@SOLDADITO76]

Find some buckets out of a 4Runner with lumbar and thigh adjustments. You could also grab the center console from a4runner as well. Could get real fancy and install the rear heat option.

[@americanpatriot2422]

Great video. I need to order the carpet for my 91 Toyota 4x4 also.

[@ronaldmartinson3874]

Great job!! Using old carpet for template would save boat load of time

[@levyrogers6979]

Carpet looks great, as you've said aftermarket. It may not be factory, you've got it down and trimmed really well my man. And once it relaxes, you may have to once again do some adjusting and trimming. All and all it looks as good as factory to me. Hell!! I've seen some reinstalled by those who do interiors for a living not do as well of an job with carpet as you have here. So don't sweet it. The way it's all coming together you have done one hack of a job that you can be proud of. Besides those who look for something to complain about when it's someone's else's hard work are a dime a dozen. But these are those people who sit all day doing nothing with their own lives. Have agreat day my friend and may God continue to Bless you and your.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you man!!!

[@Shaun-mt5wv]

Nice job 👍🏽 I’ll be installing a similar kit into a 2WD version of your truck soon. Question, do you think it’s possible to carefully use a heat gun on the underside of the carpet to get it to mold a little tighter? Thanks again for the video 👍🏽

[@mikesteele8384]

Great color combo

[@sflotr]

Really glad I came across your video. The door sill fix with the nylon nuts is great. I bought a 94 standard cab that has the broken tabs. I will make the trip to the hardware, parts store. Thank you! BTW, your truck is looking great! I saw your later video where you swapped the 60/40 seat for the scion seats. Nice!!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks glad to help!!

[@l.alejandrocarrillomata8000]

Great job 🇲🇽💪

[@ThisOldYota]

After seeing that install, I’m going to shampoo my carpet I don’t think I have the patience lol

[@Eli6.7]

Keep the videos comin man!

[@randycollins6756]

When I do it I normally get card board box’s and fit it than trace it on the carpet for more precise cutting

[@jason328d6]

Well done. I’ll jump on board with everyone else, no sound deadener? I will say I’ve read that stuff doesn’t actually do a lot for road noise. But does help quiet rattles for speakers.

[@liamenriquez6203]

The trick for the floor panels is amazing since I got a 95 4runner and the clips were destroyed and I've been trying to figure out a solution.

[@justinlawrence4562]

Coming along nicely Bro.

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!

[@jsvallee567]

looking great man !!

[@ralfihl1233]

Love the channel. Also maybe try some spray adhesive and it should hold nicely sir. Good luck with everything.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@dandorris8531]

The clip idea was great.

[@bonhamjohnson8934]

Amazing idea with the clips I have the same problem, thank you

[@jedidan045]

Looking great man, keep it up!!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks! Will do!

[@curtisoedekoven6211]

👍 Great job as usual.

[@PauloLima-bm3eo]

Mate you don't cutt corners don't you awesome job 👏

[@JEREMY120983]

sweet truck sweet 😎, 👍

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Defintely gonna need an aftermarket shifter and boot! Something a little nicer than grey and black

[@tiemsolutions3694]

Great work, however you could have done soundproofing before installing the carpet. It would have made the cab much more quieter. Much respect from Kenya #KE

[@gerardcurran8664]

Coming together nicely 🤟🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@barrapatrol5327]

Keep up the good work, Good tip for doing seat & seat belt holes in the carpet is to use a large soldering iron, melts a nice hole through the carpet & also stops the threads on the carpet from pulling

[@mlowe30]

Looking great!

[@CanadianParamedic]

Looks good bud

[@jeffbailey7765]

If you left the bolts in for the seats and seat belts, all you would have to do is slice the bolt head area and then you have a clean hole for the bolts. But good job so far

[@dannymurray3061]

would it not lay better and smoother if spray glued down? if thats even possible lol

[@bestrelaxandspamusic4169]

Looks wery good!great work, Thx! 10 points! Salam aleikum from Moscow!

[@saebbi]

Hello mr. Niemela - I've watched your youtube since the diesel mercedes days, long gone probably 5-7 years now.. But I see our interests have carried in a similar way, I too have a toyota pickup and I like to touch every bolt on it, currently I am finishing a frame extension and suspension for my double cab pickup(EU spec) to accept an Extra Cab bed. This will greatly increase wheelbase and total length. I don't have much youtube content, (but some). But you can find me on the Facebook as well where I document the process very well. - All the best... Greetings from Iceland!

[@austinniemela]

Awesome thats sweet! Thanks for watching and hope your enjoying the videos!!

[@FlynDirty1]

They make a spray glue for paper targets that you can use to get the carpet to sit for you. Damn it looks good

[@gustavomerlos2337]

Nice Job !!

[@jakewashburn4426]

This build is looking great coming along nicely can’t wait to see the end product in the next video on those bucket seats. Question though what do you think about putting an old-school Toyota pick up tailgate decal on a 99 tacoma do you think it would look Good I mean I can get new badges because one of the clear films and go over the badge is coming off or should I just get a giant decal a K logo for the tailgate says Toyota

[@TOMRYANLUKE]

God Bless you for this video..thank you.

[@austinniemela]

Glad it was helpful!

[@farkookneebah]

It is looking good Boss :)

[@romo2517]

i tried corbeau, but my seat mounting measurements became a combination of their three different seat bracket templates. different from what my driver side and passenger side measured in my 1990 single cab toy truck - especially for the rear mounting points. if you decided on going with corbeaus i would like to see how if your measurements match mine or their template.

[@jkcustoms2214]

Awesome video! Is there a reason why you didn’t use any glue for installing the carpet?

[@isakburak3275]

I am getting ready to replace the carpet in my 1993 toyota pickup. At the rocker panels, OEM had small white clips that sat on a ridge, what did you do? glue strip? and on the edges towards the firewall and the bac kof the cab, did you glue? did you glue the entire carpet down?

[@nice3297]

I just got a set, but I went vinyl, pain in the ass lol gonna need a heat gun.

[@ttinnovations3310]

= ) I need to do this for my 1987 Toyo 4x4 single cab, looks like a 5hrs job ? (well 2 hour of breaks and drinks lol) thank for the Video =)

[@jeepie1964]

NIce job, it looking very good. Greeting Rene from the Netherlands

[@austinniemela]

Thank you!!!

[@renerasmussen4548]

Think you should have closed the bare metal off after filing for the clips in the door jam Greetings denmark

[@NOFx420x]

I need that 60/40

[@pc1408]

Hi there, found your video looking how to do this for a land cruiser. Nice job. My question is: is this truck wrapped or painted? What are the details of the color? My son wants very similar matte od green too

[@bobthebuilder6315]

When looking for your seats most Toyota seats interchange, just swap your tracks I used seats out of a tercel. Tracks were different but bolt spacing was the same, eze peze.

[@RossWilliamsDC]

Good deal. Your carpet was formed to go over the back seat box. Mine was not and it has some wrinkles that I am not thrilled with. I got mine from Stockinterriors.com. Wish I would have gone with ACC, although my color match was so good that I just left the old carpet on the rear seat box lids. Great vid.

[@danilohernandez8047]

Where did you order that carpet bro they were very generous with the size of it nice 👍

[@austinniemela]

Link in description where I ordered it 👍

[@jasonkfarris]

I am considering doing some color changing to pieces of my plastic interior but am concerned with durability. Does the SEM spray hold up well?

[@austinniemela]

The SEM is a awesome plastic paint! Can honestly say I’ve never scratched anything I’ve painted, but I guess I’ve never tried

[@timbales3652]

So how long did the carpet install take you?Turned out looking good.Painting your plastic parts,where can I find the same paint?Paint store,part store?Just ordered my kit for my 94 Standard cab.Cant wait to get it in,then the new stero system.

[@austinniemela]

There’s a link in the description for the paint! It took me a full day to make it fit!

[@timbales3652]

Awsome. Never did anything like this. Going to start doing a restore on my 94 4x4 sc.

[@tradeMark182]

[@zedan6783]

good job .

[@awhipps]

Did you ever think about Raptor lining the interior? I have a T100 with some carpet issues and I thought about putting down some Dynamat (or knockoff) and then Raptor line on top of that.

[@reaperreaper5098]

Bed liners release toxic fumes, even after they’ve cured. There are similar liners that are formulated to be safe in enclosed areas though.

[@awhipps]

Thanks for adding that comment. I did find that out after my post, but good for others to know as well. Looks like Lizard Skin would work, but I don’t know how durable it is.

[@reaperreaper5098]

@@awhipps IIRC, it’s not as durable as a good bed liner, but still better than the spray can stuff.

[@chefsadventures7849]

if I had a spare vehicle id be working on my Toyota pickup, especially after my car accident last week.

[@javier4764]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Caseybeaupre1]

Did you get Essex with mass backing? Or did you do standard options?

[@geographyinaction7814]

Did you consider putting Raptor Liner on the floor, instead of carpet?

[@abpsd73]

Unfolding the carpet and letting it sit for a few days would have helped it on the install.

[@austinniemela]

Ain’t got time for that haha

[@yepizracing]

on which page can I buy that same folder again

[@johnlynn4945]

Looking good. Austin! Can you build me a truck?

[@trentyoung1135]

If you decide the carpet doesn't fit your needs, you can always Rhino Line it.
