I can’t wait for the next episode when you go to adjust the carb for extra electrical load and by the end decide to completely rebuild the engine 😂
This is why I no longer have a TV set. Thanks for another great episode!
Now you just got to build that custom toolbox for the back
Would be nice to see more roof rack builds, especially on the pickups where they would extend all they way to the rear, adding some storage space. Of course understandable if you don't need one and don't want to waste time building one (or more!). But it would be cool to see a DIY rack for Tacoma or 4runner for example!
Awesome to see a man appreciate his own work. Sets a good example for the next generation.
Wicked building skills! Can't wait to see what you have in store next for the Suzuki! Congrats on the evolution saw. Sure makes quick work cutting.
I’m in my garage watching your video instead of working on my stuff!!!
I NEED TO FABRICATE !!
I'd recommend using a little piece of rubber, like from a inner tube on the roof with a tiny hole poked in them for sealing and not messing up the roof of the cab, and stop any squeaks
Get yourself the evaluation chop saw table. You will love it
I might have to check that out!
I think a couple holes in the side pieces would have looked cool, given some more tie down points, and maybe a little weight reduction lol
man you need to build a work bench for the saw to get up off the ground - something that has the bench top flush with the saw
Great work man... maybe u can turn it into a small utility... adding tool racks, small air compressor, small electrical inverter, pneumatic tools, welding rig and whatnot... lol, just thinking out loud here
Not exactly a Project Farm kind of test but close enough. 😂 That wasn't even close. I have seen those Evolution saws in action on other channels. They look great.
Superb achievement
New saw is excellent!
I really enjoy your thought pattern when putting a project together. Excellent fabrication as always.
👍👍
Thank you!
That saw 🤩
You are going to LOVE the Evolution..I waited tooo long to get one..LOL
Yes i already love it!!
My favorite kei truck on YT just gets better and better
This rack is fire wish u would sell these
Nice thinking on the studs
Suzy looking better all the time! Great job! Thumbs up as always!
Wow, thank you!
Bro I like how you fabricate stuff from nothing to something very cool. Not to mention your mechanic skills are top notch. 🤙🏽
I appreciate that!
That’s what I’m talking about. Looks amazing with the light bar. GOOD JOB!!!
Thanks!
Mount Pelican/Harbor Freight cases for recovery gear/safety equipment.
Banger as always!!😊👍🏻
Wow I’ve seen my first 86 carry yesterday crazy I now find this video. Nice kei truck
Very cool! Thank you!
Just as talented as your two brothers...I started watching Cameron's channel years ago..then Devin and now yours..keep up the good work 👍
Sweet!! Thank you!
Now you got to get that saw up off the floor and into a dedicated cut station. 🇺🇸🤙
If you would rivnut on the tire mount you could use two eye bolts through the top to lock tire down. This also would give you two anchor points for straps as well. Awesome build thanks for the ideas.
Congrats on your Evolution Power Tools sponsor. Saw was blazing fast. Really nice roof rack build. Plenty of light now, LOL. You need one more. One on your headache rack to light up your cargo area. So other then the baddest snow plow ever. What else will you use that rig for? You hunt, trailblaze or fish? The possibilities are endless. Looks really great.
Thanks!! I don’t hunt much anymore but I may get back into it! Would make a sweet hunting rig!
You need some dimple dies. The rack looks sweet, but some dimpled holes on the side rails would have broke up the boxy look a bit. I bought a set off of amazon, and love them!
Looks good man
You’re a very skilled fabricator Austin. Nice work!
Thanks 👍
i’ve been wanting a mini truck for sometime. i might just have to pull the trigger and get one soon, although i don’t have the same skills, tools, or expertise of yourself i’m sure it would be a great project to learn on and make my own.
Yeaaaauyy u took my advice for replacing the spare tire location. Good job man. Looks good there. Nice roofrack. Simple, yet stylish
Great to see the new saw Austin 👍 it will make things easier 😎
Awesome!!!
As you were fab'ing that wheel mount I was thinking exactly the same thing, don't weld the studs on there in case you want to put a large flat case up there some time. I think I would have welded the nuts on the back side, but I'm not a master fabricator like you.
It looks great.
Absolutely love your channel. You have the home shop I've always dreamed of. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
You need to make a rock crawler I totally love your content .I’d like to see you take your vehicles out and put them through some real tests off road got them built properly
Awesome build! I really love my evolution saw, the blades last forever and cut so clean.
Thanks! The saws are sweet!!
Cool little rig.
Hell ya. Looks great! A great video would to take this thing into town and get reactions.
Great job as always,...!!! Hey people, if you will do things diferently or start to criticize put a CZcams channel and do it the way you like...
The little round cylinder in the saw box is for the blue tightening wheel.
Beginner welder here. Could you let me know, when do you choose to use MIG welding and when TIG?
Good video,saw looks good,light bar is nice,very well built,carry on and keep doing what your doing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Recovery toolbox for the bed next?
Love your videos. Always doing something cool
Ace hardware has those robber plugs with threads to be inserted through holes. When bolt is ran through the hole and tightened, it compresses the rubber for and becomes water tight. Just thought it would have been better that those nut serts in the roof. Got my entry for those wheels. It’s definitely for a good cause.
Congratulations on your sponsorship mate 🤙jus a little suggestion Austin it would be cool if you added dimples on to the side plates and front one of the rack but to late now
Cool
Nice work 😀 just used your discount code thanks
I am glad the light bar wasn't blue. 😂
I've been eyeballing one of these saws and trying to decide whether to get it or a plasma cutter first. It looks awesome as does your roof rack. Great job as always sir and prayers for your brother.
Thanks! It really depends on what you cut more! Plate or tube/pipe!
Perfect job! Big Little Suzuki! lol
Looks good but i would add some gusseting and or peices of 1x1 between those longer 1x1s and some expanded metall over it. Those 1x1 love to crack at the welds with vibration and the 1x1 is gonna flex on you like crazy. Now to got a rack why not weld some light tabs for some work lighting on there too.
Awesome looking set up yet again!
And how good is that Evolution saw!!
Cheers and merry Christmas to you and your family from Sydney Australia 🇭🇲👍🇭🇲🇺🇸
Great saw.
Great job as always on the Suzuki too.
Me complaining (as always).... too much weight and too much work on the front.
Build some cool cage for the rear too.
Nice, Austin! I just bought one of the Evolution 10" compound/miter metal cutting saw. Amazing. I may sell my bandsaw.
Sweet! They are amazing saws!
I remember when I got my cold cut saw...so much better. Good job on the rack, my only concern, which probably doesn't matter for a home work truck, is the whistle when driving at high speeds. When I had my jeep and put a LED on top, because of the small spaces between the roof and the light, that thing would whistle loud when on the highway, enough to make me take it off.
Thanks! It will be fine this truck doesn’t go fast enough haha
perfect job👍
More music less grinder I like it!
That looks awesome. Figured you would bolt the front to. The drip rail.. and it is bright as shit..👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
Such a fucking legend ..
i knew since 100 subs austin is diffrent ...
Weld nuts on the underside of the tire mount and use bolts to hold the tire on.
I’m wondering why did you decide to drill the roof for mounting ponts, when you have functional rain gutters that you can attach the rack to, this technic was used for ages to hold roof racks
It will surely won’t be as sturdy as ur setup, but u also won’t be putting heavy loads up there when you have a complete bed
Great vid on that saw...something I'll be looking for in the future. I'll be working with the same types of diff metal stock your using. Should see some plowing vids by tmrw! ✌🍻🤣
Nice addition...looks great. Add a couple gun mounts to the headache rack [similar to those scene on utility sxs]. A hydraulic lift turning the bed into a dump bed..... 🤔.... oops sorry I was just day dreaming a little 😎👍... what a cool little rig and so many ways to dress it out . One curious question... does the plow have any ability to angle to either the right or left ? Really helps in some situations.
Thanks!! I have to stop somewhere haha
@@austinniemela totally understand lol.. easy to get carried away when you're having fun.
Hey bro love the suzuki mini truck you have improved it so much keep it up my man 💪👍👊
Thanks!
Nice! Now you need to make a table for the new saw with positive stops for repeat cuts, that way your not working off the floor also. BTY sweet looking rack and a good place to put a spare tire instead of under the truck. Might want to bump up a higher amp alternator LOL
Thanks!! A table would be nice!
@@austinniemela I have made a table for mine sunkin center for the saw to make saw & table all on the same plain (level) and made a short fence out of 1x2 tube that way you can clamp a positive stop on to it for repeat cuts so you don't have to repeat lay out marks. Save's a lot of time in layout.
@@bobthebuilder6315 nice that sounds handy!!
Always interested to see what the cost per cut is with different cutting tools. Some can get pretty spendy.
Great job, she’s gonna need a more powerful engine if you keep adding, diesel I hope
Dude, that rack is stout. How about just mounting some flame throwers up there and melt/burn anything in your path?! 😆
a LS swap will solve your electrical load problems!!😁😅
Great,
Do you think you could use a rear spot for reversing at night.
I have pods in the rear bumper!
Hey - are you sure you could even use that spare tire if you had to? I was wondering about it’s outside diameter compared to your new tires?
Curious as to what made you choose that particular light bar? Name, price ect....?
How about running a second battery
How do you like the new air compressor? Nice job with the lights now I think I'm going to buy one for my plow truck lol. I wired in 2 of the LED fog lamps into my back up lamp circuit and mounted them back by the tailgate on top of the box rails. It's like a mini sun back there. You cannot have too much light when you are plowing snow.
Its great so far!!
Dude your gotta build a bed rack! You’ve never seen that
Why did you switch back to the YesWelder hood instead of the Lincoln that you bought?
I use the lincoln for tig welding! I like to keep it clean!!
Is there a paint job in the future? I haven’t checked comments in other vids, sorry if it’s been covered.
There may be!
After 1yr how is the spray on raptor 1k coating holding up? I would like to use it on my taco fender flares. Thanks.
What plasma cutter do you have and do you recommend it?
Link in description! I love it for the price!
How much torq you have on that bad boy?
I guess you sold the pickup ?
Bro I would definitely purchase a rack from you for my 1990 Suzuki Carry Truck. Please tell me I can order one!
Has your neighbour, the guy you got the truck from seen the upgrades you've done... if so does he regret selling it?
isnt the truck going be front heavy?
No it does great!
What happened to the 4 door Tacoma?
Sitting behind the shop for now!
Do you sell any of your fabs? Like your rear and front bumper and roof rack?
I sell build plans for my toyota truck bumpers, but I didn’t do plans for this one
Ok, good to know, thanks! You really are incredibly talented! Enjoy watching all your creative ideas!!!! Keep it up!
What is going on with the Tacoma? Is it finished?
No I’m going to finish it soon
@@austinniemela okay thanks for the response. Keep up the good work
hello can i contact with you about cooperation
Bro, watching you take all that time to remove all the mill scale has me triggered. It is perfectly fine to paint over it.
My ocd tells me the mill scale has to go haha
♦️❤👍👍👍🕶🍎🍇
You can just tell us you'll sand the scale from now on. No need to document it.
