Never thought I would get excited about a lowered truck! Looking awesome! I would have really screwed up the interior frame paint. I would have been paranoid I was missing something and put the onion to it! with what you showed I would have had that stuff EVERYWHERE! lol
Same here, I’m more into lifted trucks and lowered cars but I love watching fab work ether way. Hell if I had a hilux it’d be on 35”s with a gun mount for the .50 I want to be able to own and afford to shoot some day lol
@@austinniemela You got to do a FZJ80! Cummins swap?? i I know the prices have gone up but you can still find a 3x clean unmolested out there especially in your area. Will make for some great content and you will expand your views to the Lans cruiser audience. Keep up the hardwork!!
Many years ago I helped a friend paint the frame of a boat trailer and for the enclosed area we put a shop vacuum on a hole on the front and the gentle air flow of the vacuum helped pull the spray paint into the inside of the frame. For the next one
I’m a 4x4 guy but I am enjoying the build. Would love to see you go all the way with this one. I get the crusty theme outside but that engine bay is yelling at me to do the whole truck. Looking forward to the next video. 💯
What I enjoy about watching your videos is that you pay attention to the little things. This is a good build and it's as always interesting to see how it is going to turn out. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Ron AGREED!! He has a LOT of patience…as OCD as I am I always catch myself trying to hurry and put it back together and miss something. Love this channel and Toyotas!!
It's really cool to see you go through the trouble of making this little yota great again. Now all you need is a Honda ATC to throw in the back to complete the ensemble.
Hoping you'll decide to go all out on this one instead of doing the "rat rod" thing. This truck deserves a full restomod, and your skillset and attention to detail would make this a show truck. Loving all of your content, even this 2wd stuff 🤟🏻
You have SO many awesome trucks! I am so jealous lol it must be SO much fun driving all of those different awesome trucks. I’m living vicariously through your vids lol. Thanks for the fun 👍
Man, as cool as your other builds are I think this might be my favorite one yet! Keep up the killer work and letting me live vicariously through you lol
I found your channel a few weeks ago cause I have been contemplating a tdi swap in my hardbody. Then you took on this project, and it's so ironic cause I just finished up the same kind of build on my hardbody last year. Frame off. Powdercoated frame. Little notch. Painted my bay. Left the outside as is for now. Alot of similarities. I even used the eastwood internal frame spray lol. Sprayed a can of cavity wax in there too just for good measure
Good stuff. It's awesome how easy you make painting look. Also I love the skateboard cameo. I don't know how many times my deck has doubled as a dolly or extra set of hands in a pinch.
Beautiful chassis work now you have to do the body up like factory new since you did up the chassis and suspension did up one 75 up last year wrecked it a lady pulled out of jack in the box in a toyota van right in front of me doing 40 mph slammed on the break with no were to go I cried have pictures Thank God I still have my mint 87 2wd with all the fixings that's going to be a beautiful truck when it's done hit me up if you ever decide to sell it 😀
Salut Austin Très beau travail de conception et de soudure, le châssis va être super propre pour la suite. Merci de nous faire partager ton expérience. Je te souhaite un bon week-end.
Austin, could you tell me what the frame outside width is where the front suspension mounts? I'm thinking that the front suspension would be a good fit for my '49 Ford F1 pickup. Thanks! BTW, I love the headlamp mounted on the spray gun! Brilliant.
Originally in your first video you indicated you weren't going to go all out on this truck..... Did you change your mind? If so what are your plans for this truck?

Haha yeah it makes a mess!!!

Not a fan of lowered trucks either, but I love watching his work no matter the project!

Are you going to keep it white
Good work, I like the idea of the light on the spray gun.
Many years ago I helped a friend paint the frame of a boat trailer and for the enclosed area we put a shop vacuum on a hole on the front and the gentle air flow of the vacuum helped pull the spray paint into the inside of the frame. For the next one
Reminder to self if ever I had on my hand to do some full restoration make it like this guy
I’m a 4x4 guy but I am enjoying the build. Would love to see you go all the way with this one. I get the crusty theme outside but that engine bay is yelling at me to do the whole truck. Looking forward to the next video. 💯
I love that you just go for it. All the stuff other guys would just brush off as "too much work".
This is really good..
Under coating,, spray inside the doors, fenders , and any hiding edge
When I need an inspiration, you always come through with your projects!!! Thanks 👍.

the painting with the air pistol is oddly satisfying
A work of art

Turned out really nice. 👍

You have SO many awesome trucks! I am so jealous lol it must be SO much fun driving all of those different awesome trucks. I’m living vicariously through your vids lol. Thanks for the fun 👍
Looking good. You going for an Icon 4x4 "Derelict" style build?
Those front control arm shims are for camber and caster adjustments
Man, as cool as your other builds are I think this might be my favorite one yet! Keep up the killer work and letting me live vicariously through you lol
Great job on the frame it should last quite a while.
Крутое видео, каждый раз жду с нетерпением ваши видео👍

Je te souhaite un bon week-end.
2:09 😬😬
Great job....as always 👌
You should put the factory grill on the truck
Best way to start the weekend 🙌
Looks freaking sick!
100 bucks!!! What a steal!
You need to put heim joints on all the three link or you're going to break it when you articulate the rear axel . BTW looking great as always .
Always love your videos Austin!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them!
бомба 💥💥💥
I live in the US and would love to have a truck like that but 4wd
Hi, ✋✋ is the straw curl/winding and advantage or disadvantage. thought about using some warm to hot air to straighten?
good job he always does, good project hey you have to give a project to some follower, like a raffle
Good job nice project
$100 that’s a go to guy in my book.
Austin, could you tell me what the frame outside width is where the front suspension mounts? I'm thinking that the front suspension would be a good fit for my '49 Ford F1 pickup.
Thanks!
BTW, I love the headlamp mounted on the spray gun! Brilliant.
I like what you’re doing 👌🏾
if i were there i will be glad to help you, it seem that you need a sombody for lifting.cool project
Great job as always !
saving one Toyota at a time!
Класс! Молодец!
You got some overspray on your door I can't believe you weren't prepared
Please do a restoration of a 1969 Dhatson pickup
عمل ممتع يستفاد منه
Like before I even watch! 😊👍🏻
Your eork is really good. Thanks for the vid.
the skateboard! W
While the rear end is nice, might I suggest hiem joints instead of bushings so that it can articulate from side to side.
Hi ✋✋enjoy seeing you improvise 👌👌
You should consider a front end of a crown Victoria modern steering and suspension and it will be a bolt on
It is awasome
Goat of Toyos
Looking good 👍
Man, I want Austin to rebuild my ‘86 SR5 soooo bad.
Another great job as usual! Greetings from Chile, buddy!
I have to ask, is hot dip galvanizing not a thing in the US?
Nice work!
Looking good buddy
Absolute goat.
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
Nice man, can’t wait until you paint the body, lol
Did you ever get the A/C pump issue figured out out on the green truck?
hi
the upper link must have a bearing to rotate now you will rotate inside the thread will not withstand over time, if tightening the nut may not work
Looking good!! Can't wait to see it!!!!
Originally in your first video you indicated you weren't going to go all out on this truck..... Did you change your mind? If so what are your plans for this truck?
Hi ✋✋Stupid question - any difference between an impact wrench vs impact driver? just wondering
Доброго здоров'я привіт з Одеси Україна.
Curious as to why you didn’t go with raptor liner for the frame to protect from the salt where your at
Good gop man
Amazing!!
Austin: my garage floor is already ruined.
Austin’s Garage Floor - nicer than my kitchen counters…
Nice!
Amazing…
next project suzuki samurai
Is this going to be a sema truck?
Please add Arabic subtitles to the video
Looks like a 1997, not a 1977, in Australia there was no independent front axle Hilux until the end of the 90s, forerunner from 1986 on
FINALLYYYY
Hum…By the time your finished with this truck it will be a complete resto-mod
And keep it white
hi
Yooooo lets go new video
I hope they gave you a discount on that piss poor Sand blast job…
Can I drop off my first gen tacoma to you? 😂
My God, do you know how to drive a mechanic? Ah, you turned it on with a crunch, it still means you can't
Hi,Austin can you let me how to get in contact whit you This is RafaelBaca
