just swooped up a 2008 FJ from a local dealership that had it in shop for less than a few days. its a bit ugly but fixable. when i got there i looked underneath and the frame/exhaust HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST/WEAR it is insane how awesome it is. they are giving me new tires and a brand new windshield. the paperwork is done and im waiting for the call to come pick it up. i am beyond excited to build mine. only 105k miles to boot! i feel for 18k i found an absolute GEM
I bought my 2014 in York, PA and am just starting to get into cars. This is an inspiring vid! I hope someday to have the knowledge and tools to do my own work. You made the front bumper look so easy! Awesome truck.
I still have my 2007 2wd FJ just got it back from Hail Damage repairs. Had major orange peel from factory paint . Thanks Hail !!! Your video just really inspired me to lift and a few other things, great job dude !!! Thank you for the video and your explanations !!! Peace
Brother, well done on the video, and the FJ looks great. My favorite parts was the bumper, and getting a glance as to how much work that would be. Subscribed!
@@initiatedrift Yes they are. Have do know what all the additional plugs on the wiring harness are by location inside? I have a 2010 I stripped the inside. So I can add kill mat and re wire the stereo etc. I found out I've got the auxiliary plugs for sonar auxiliary roof lights, subwoofer and steering wheel. I've got one last plug in the back on the left corner below the lights that I don't know what it is.
Did those heated seats come with the leather? Or you put leather on separately. I don’t need heated here in Ariz desert, but that leather is trick !! Appreciate seeing the process if you covered them yourself and I could do my stock (non-heated) seat. SUPER job on this build. Subscribed !! Cheers ( 2014 FJC with 3”, Bilstean’s etc up to TRD level, with factory crawl control. ) 🤙
Hey Man - Really liked the way you installed all the things to the beast. How can I get in touch with you. I have couple of questions as I am planning to buy one. Thx...
Great job and thank you for the vid! Which Eiback lift kit is this specifically and how has it been since its install? Is the lift still even, are there any creaking noises and does the fj lean on the driver's side?
How are you liking the Eibach suspension? did the front shocks come with the springs installed? Does it work well off-road? Are you running 285/70R17's? looking good! keep up the good work!👍
Fellow FJ rat here …. nice video 👊🏼 Ya got some skills …. you mentioned ya got leather seat covers ~ I thought they looked tight. Can you share what they are & how ya like them as well as rough price. ✌🏻
@@StewsReplay I’m honestly not sure what a shop would charge. But somewhere in that range, maybe more depending how the install goes. Nothing I would really say to avoid. Just know other suspension components may need to be replaced as the install is being done. For example ball joints, tie rods, sway bar links, cv axles.

So dope!!! Thanks for not doing a five minute talk track! Love seeing the progress!
Solid work. Make sure to treat that rust sooner than later. My 07 looked similar and leaving it too much longer would’ve left me with a bad frame.
Most impressive. Skills and video was no fluff. I literally want an FJ way more than 15 minutes ago
Thank you!
Badass! I can’t believe you like made that bumper and it looks great! Great work man!
I love all the 40s laying around. You remind me of a younger version of me
Projects that need to get done!
Great job! I have an 07 AT. The only thing I didn’t care for are the graphics. But I loved the video and your explanations.

Looks great, like the rims, the height is just right, that's the look I'm looking for, good job
Sweet! Your 4k would cost me 8k at a shop, or more! Nice work, great skills!!
Fucking awesome truck . Respect my man for those upgrades. She won’t let you down.
Man you are amazing. Thank you for the step by step process.
You did great young man, nice specs n taste.

Gotta learn by just doing it. One thing at a time.
You did a great job on that bumper. Nice build.
Very impressive. You make it look easy. Nice work!
Looking good , I like it. I have a 2013 and love it

Looks nice man I have a fj too completely stock but can’t wait to add stuff to it
Amazing work Broham!

Great build. Great work. Good job on the bumper.
Great job! The bumper turned out fantastic.

Great job with the mods! You made it look so easy
Great job!!!
I envy you have this nice SUV!!
Nice work on the bumper/ bulbar
Great video, great skills mate! What leather seat cover did you go with, they look like they fit well.
Did you end up doing the one and a half inch wheel spacers you said you were considering?
Nicely done so far brotha. Keep it up
Hey man, great video and a great build. Looking forward to some adventure videos with it in the future. Cheers 🤘
Looks good, mine’s black and white like yours. Looking forward to see the transformation. Oh, try to include prices. Thumbs up!
You make it look easy
I can imagine it must have cost a fortune. These things are worth their weight in gold lately
I actually got a decent deal and paid $11500
Nice. I need you to do mine. You do good work
Wow you are handy. Good job.
That bumper looks great, we’ll done! How much did the kit cost?
I believe it was around $600
Nice work man! That FJ looks sick.
Thanks for sharing looks Awesome!
Nice! Looks great. I just got the same FJ, but not going that aggressive yet. It mainly pulls my Bass boat.
Amazing job thanks bro for sharing
Looking forward to know abt heated seats setup and work
Heated seats are from Dorman

Well done lad 👍🏻
Nice work. Looks awesome.
Nice job mate ,
Hello, excellent work, I hope to be able to do something similar, congratulations. Blessings.
Very nice! Love the fake Mello Bumper. Would you be willing to make another?
Dope build, bro!
Awesome job 👍🏻 What a transformation.
Thanks!
Great build!
Hey Man - Really liked the way you installed all the things to the beast. How can I get in touch with you. I have couple of questions as I am planning to buy one. Thx...
What bumper kit is that ? Nice build, I’m building an fj too, that thing would look sweet with some bushwhacker fender flares👍🏻 , great work.
Nice work are you car FJ sons great👍
Nice house.. you have your own forklift and double bay garage?
GREAT JOB!!💪🏾👍🏾
Great job.. keep going bro
Looking
Good! Does it have a subwoofer in the back ? I have a 2008 fj that looks similar. I love the white graphic decals too.
Great job
Great job and thank you for the vid! Which Eiback lift kit is this specifically and how has it been since its install? Is the lift still even, are there any creaking noises and does the fj lean on the driver's side?
Looks pretty sick
How are you liking the Eibach suspension? did the front shocks come with the springs installed? Does it work well off-road? Are you running 285/70R17's?
looking good! keep up the good work!👍
Cool stuff.
Fellow FJ rat here …. nice video 👊🏼
Ya got some skills …. you mentioned ya got leather seat covers ~ I thought they looked tight.
Can you share what they are & how ya like them as well as rough price. ✌🏻
good looking fj
great video Corey!!
Thanks!
Great video and cool build. Makes me want to do some stuff to my FJ. How do you like riding on the Eibachs?
This looks great!
Get the RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST!!!!! :) SAND AND SPRAY! EASY PEASY! GREAT WORK!
you do very good job could you help me with the size of the tires I want exact ones to yours where did you buy them
Where did you get your front number from
Coastal off-road
Good job! Are you doing a rear bumper?
At this time, no. Maybe paint the silver parts black
Amazing build man, do you have an intake?
Still the stock intake
awesome job man!
Sick built man. Thank you for sharing your video. What is the name of the welder you used? there are like three types and need to get one like yours.
Good job
I love it
What is the lift at the front and the back in cm
And what size of tires do you have there is it 315 or 285 ?
nice project
Are you going to add rock-sliders?
nice build
Very nice.
Any links to your leather seat covering? Or did you have them upholstered?
Good job man!
Anybody know where to get those leather seat covers?
Looks maaaaad love it
Where did you get that tube bender????
The exhaust, is it assembled with clamps or does it require welding for all the pieces. Thank you.
Hello where did you ordered the plates for the bumper
nice work
Very cool.
It's amazing how much better they look lifted.
How much did ONLY the Lift and tires cost ? What about having someone do the lift for you?
Tires were about $1100 for 5. Obviously depends what tire you buy. And the lift kit was around $600
@@initiatedrift Not bad.
Would the install at a shop be about $600 more?
Things to avoid with lift kits?
