The FJ40 Gets 40" Tires, Beadlocks And A Custom Dana 60 Axle Truss!!

[@ShanesGettingHandy]

My vote is notch the frame and reinforce, don't shift the axle!

[@jaromnord8325]

This is amazing! The lower you can keep that ride height the better center of gravity you’ll have! Keep up the work I love what you do!

[@ronthompson2366]

Looking great. Need a truss for the rear axle as well. Take a look at the deep water kit for a Hummer... be a cool edition.

[@rhyswilliams695]

That is the best truss I’ve ever seen. Well done 👏

[@dontrudeau9362]

That's a hell of a nice low profile truss! Sold design with great looks! You should sell them of a cad file for it. I'm sure people would dig it!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!! The CAD file is up on the website!!

[@THE_Tyler_Rogers]

Your attention to detail inspires me to be better! Keep up the good work my friend!! Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!

[@trdnismoguy]

I work at a small diesel dealership we use an f450 for towing if you need any measurements or pictures of anything I'm more than happy to help.

[@tombrenes2411]

Awesome content Great build series Love all the hard work

[@jameskappel]

Celebrating 200K subscribers! 👍👍🎈🎈🥂🥂✨✨

[@reaper352c5]

nice work, i am liking this build way more than the hilux.

[@davidduffin154]

get a longer slip yoke set up so you can shorten the tube and gain clearance

[@austinniemela]

That might be an option!

[@ftlbaby]

Incredible work Austin

[@FlawedOffroad]

Id keep it centered and cut the frame and plate like you said. You should be able to sell the crap out of that truss/file

[@kirkhelm8449]

That is a great truss design! Well done

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@timneale8869]

Nothing like building your own stuff.

[@unclejesse88]

Between cutting the front of the frame and plating the frame and clearance issues, you are most of the way to cutting the frame off at the cab and building a new front clip

[@DirtGarage]

Looking great dude!

[@austinniemela]

Thanks!!

[@sherylryan7038]

Notch the frame don't compromise on clearance top work you could not buy any better brace than what you designed and built

[@schristiansen3151]

[@braydenwood7418]

Hell yeah those are my old wheels and tires. Really wish I didn't have to sell them but I'm glad there getting some more use.

[@austinniemela]

Hey man!! Yea they are in good hands haha

[@sjfodor]

The things you think up and execute are simply awesome. That axle is going to be burly.

[@suzrtimm5930]

You have amazing talent Austin . This look awesome 😎

[@pedroguerrero1144]

Really nice! But only for knowledge, exist any Dana 60 not too wide?

[@gsftom]

Dude u are a frikin fabricator! That truss looks cool.

[@austinniemela]

Thanks man!!

[@Mike_Allegro]

Killer job on the axle truss!!

[@paengsolo2047]

Another project of perfection good jobso satisfying to watch you do things your way

[@DenwayCC]

man, that's some skilled work. Awesome stuff.

[@rogerjohnson3392]

What does the truss do? Is it for making that area stronger? I'm not into 4 wheeling so I really don't know.

[@austinniemela]

Yes strengthens the axle and a nice place to mount link brackets!

[@mrm4155]

I’d keep the axle centered and just cut the frame

[@moneysaversilver]

That's going to be a bad ass fj when done

[@illpvpuallday]

I almost don’t want to watch right when video is released because then I’m sad I have to wait for the next one😢

[@averagejoe9234]

awesome work!

[@diegohperez6434]

Austin keep making your good videos I’m here to watch them where is you base o you work shop 😅

[@mikemckinsey]

With all the work and money you're putting into it (not to mention the 40's) why not go full hydro?

[@travismerrix4391]

Do not shift the axle make sure it is centered……. Notch frame and plate it for your clearance

[@byronargueta794]

Nice, it looks sick.👍

[@josephduenas8858]

Imagine your axle trust said Toyota

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

[@connormatthew4733]

[@mikemckinsey]
