    Car looks fucking amazing in those final shots great job Chris. Another build finished!

    • @xzumberts

      I bet he will still add so much more to it though.

    • @SH-ry2xi

      Yea but how much did he spend on parts?

    I've had mine for 10 years. You did the right mods and didn't do stupid things. Great truck.

    The FJ was such an awesome build!

    • @sieve5
      @sieve5 6 років тому +3

      I agree super relatable build for me to watch, plus it turned out better than I expected. Really close to the concept rendering.

    • @kroniical3830
      @kroniical3830 6 років тому +2

      Yea, it turned out way cooler than I expected. I didn't think that the liner would look very good as paint, but it makes the truck look so aggressive.

  • @shawnprickett4099
    @shawnprickett4099 6 років тому +5

    Great build Chris the only things I would personally do is paint the for jams black to match and get wheels with maybe a -35 offset so they poke out a little bit more make they flares look like they are doing something.

  • @wangchi623
    @wangchi623 6 років тому +64

    B is for Build Completed!

    • @Avetho
      @Avetho 6 років тому

      That's wonderful to see once in a while :)
      Glad it doesn't happen too often though, because if it did we'd have nothing to watch, eh?

  • @SpineShank7
    @SpineShank7 6 років тому +36

    The bedliner really made this build. Turned out SO good.

  • @PaulDGreen-bu4iz
    @PaulDGreen-bu4iz 2 роки тому

    I got you beat, LOL! I just bought a 2007 this past weekend for $4,350. It’s the same color and all! It needs some work as well! Thank you for sharing!

  • @f0rg0rr
    @f0rg0rr 6 років тому +98

    Please spray the door jams, either than that mad build

  • @jackiechan_wtf4041
    @jackiechan_wtf4041 6 років тому +1

    I kinda started tearing up when the FJ was going through the woods. To see a beat up FJ and now an awsome looking SUV is quite amazing.

  • @StripeyType
    @StripeyType 6 років тому

    Great build! I got my first FJ Cruiser back in December - not as inexpensively as you were able to but mine also didn't need all that work. ;)
    It's great to see what you've done, here.

  • @baxrok2.
    @baxrok2. 6 років тому

    Congrats Chris! IMO the brilliant part of this isn't so much the repairs that you did (they're great) but that you found a vehicle at a great price that could be fixed and fixed up reasonably. You've got Co-Part skills and finding a good vehicle for a build is just as important as fixing and finishing it! Thanks!

  • @Nickorator
    @Nickorator 6 років тому

    Honestly amazes me how you can dedicate yourself to get every aspect of your cars the way you want it. Every project turns out great.

  • @liftedkia6693
    @liftedkia6693 6 років тому

    Makes it look so easy, people normally don't realize how much work something like this can be. Good work.

  • @RedllineRolla
    @RedllineRolla 6 років тому

    What a beautiful yet rugged FJ, that paint tells you exactly what the car is all about, I love that

  • @unclegrandpah8400
    @unclegrandpah8400 6 років тому +1

    The FJ brought me to your channel, it was a beautiful build, I loved how it came out, I hope I will be seeing more about your FJ...👍👍

      @JQ_Unity 6 років тому +2

      got our 2008 for 8k. had a cluster swapped on it at some point, the actual engine mileage is more around 230k but the cluster reads 120k. If the person selling it didn't tell us that, we would of never known unless plugging in a code reader, it's in pretty damn good shape and that rare dark purple color

    • @barccat
      @barccat 6 років тому

      Do you plan on putting a new engine in when it dies? Seems like a big risk/waste of money otherwise.
