Tearing The FJ40 Down For Sand Blasting And Paint!

[@otrookie]

That compressor is pretty sweet and nice with powerbank but I love my Milwaukee it airs up my semi tires to 110 no problem. You’re very minimal with adds and constantly throwing stuff for people to buy like most other folks especially on TikTok lol, love the channel. The fab skills are next level

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!!

[@allenhorne7032]

I can't wait to see what you do to it! Are you gonna Raptor the inside of the tub and the bottom? An idea on the rust in the fender tubs, you might max a phosphoric acid solution to spray on them to neutralize and kill the rust, then maybe sand or wire wheel a little, then put what ever coating or paint onto that surface.

Жду продолжения с нетерпением. Очень круто. Респект мастеру.

[@prawnstar502]

6:54 if it was also a jump pack that would be legit!

[@ytterdahlensswix7849]

Hoping you'll paint in one the cool solid toyota colors "cement" or the "quicksand" that you see on the newer tacoma for example.

[@paulcoon5399]

Sick tower covers, I like em. My only advise would be to make sure you pressure wash up in there really well. That just looks like a mud trap

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

'It's going to cost $400-500 to sand blast the tub.' Cut scene to advertisement for compressor thing. 😆 I dig it. Your ads aren't overbearing and I get this is your livelihood. The FJ40 is looking great. I really like the rear shock covers.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks 👍

[@joeyjaurique2796]

Your fab work is insane

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@dboverland8457]

So glad you’re doing paint. A white top is a must.

[@KH102695]

Nice covers for the rear shocks. Getting the body and all the other parts ready for paint is a huge amount of work, but well worth it on a project like this.

[@mattanderson6781]

Thanks for the awesome content Austin. Can't wait to see some shiny paint on that FJ.

[@JeffreyDavis-jg5xb]

I was thinking the plasma table had too much water in the beginning. Now it appears to be working much better.

[@rtpickett]

love the shock enclosure and those door checks are awesome!

[@jprock73]

Ohh man! Don’t ever get anxiety over the work you have to do! That just means more content that we get to watch and that’s awesome!! ✌🏻

[@kayejaye261]

Bronze. Gray. Whatever u decide this is a epic build. Amazing job.

[@abpsd73]

Glad you're painting it instead of raptor liner.

[@brianbouma7578]

Quick note. Love your build and content its my fav channel for sure. . During beginning monologue maybe a selfie stick to have the lens further away and a more relaxed angle.

[@myurcek05]

I am guessing Toyota's Dessert Sand (Camo Tan)

[@lanemichaelmcconnell-hand1472]

I'M SO EXCITED.

[@dezfan]

Super bumped to be at this point! My favorite build yet!

[@countryenduro4504]

I love your style and the FJ is going to be sick For people that don’t do a lot of sheet bending and are just learning. You can cut a relief in the middle of the bend the along the same axis and it will make it easier to bend if your using a hammer or an adjustable wrench to bend it to shape You would have to weld it shut though

[@pitt42075]

I would do the battle ship grey. Think toyota and audi are using it on some of their newer cars. Steel-it looks good too. not sure about topcoating it with clear if you wanted it glossy.

[@scottibass]

Shock tower fabrication pretty bad ass, man!

[@isairomero89]

Austin im glad you decided to go with paint, trust me you wont regret it!

[@MrDan1509]

She's coming rt along... You should build yourself a Vapor Hone for the fender size and down parts. Get for prepping before powder coating!

[@smartmonkey8187]

Ура! Наконец новый выпуск. Машина будет конфеткой. Главное герметиком обработать все швы и днище, ну и антикором то же.

[@JuanMartin-dj4tb]

Almost time to start talking about the next project

[@brentmchenry9273]

Never cease to impress with the one-off ideas to replace expensive parts

[@PNW_Phillip]

Desert tan paint is my guess

[@POV-photography]

I think if you used a belt in the door hinges it would be more practical than the iron I used, but overall you did a great job.

[@norcoredneck]

What is that small grinding/sanding setup you use?

[@adelca-6362]

The FJ40 is one of the most popular 4x4s in my country, Costa Rica, and it is very easy to get spare parts. If you need a spare part I can help you get it.

[@ronleeks3668]

I’m guessing a blue or grey for colour

[@richiebrownlee9001]

It would look awesome with the Tacoma Desert Sand colour.

[@Jackt-3]

Love every build but this one is amazing.

[@1993Revhead]

You seem like a sandy tourpe kind of guy. Thats the Australian land cruiser paint name.

[@Z-Bart]

Candy Apple Red.

[@marinmarinov1020]

👌🏻

[@kerrywaldrop4546]

Looks badass

[@bake162]

Looks great Austin!

[@hannibal2866]

👍 отлично!

[@lucsurmon2623]

Great video 👍

[@gwc4020]

What's the reason for not going with raptor liner? I was thinking about going that way with my build. Less body work.

[@FlawedOffroad]

Dang nice progress since the last time I caught a video

[@mannyg2062]

i really enjoy watching your smart creations, rock on!!

[@douggrunberg]

[@asifiqbal4548]

I like yours videos form Pakistan Asif

[@roderickseed9427]

I agree...very talented guy.....where are you in Pakistan?..........hello from Scotland

[@crazgreek]

Hey stupid question. Is there any chance that the hoses for the reservoirs could burst and cover the rear passengers with oil? Any danger with that?

[@BigBrownie96]

Great job, keep the vids coming fast!!! love it.

[@dannywright3128]
