    also some wood slats to make a "floor" on the roof rack to match the bed would be super sick

    Nice! flip the Toyota logo for a old school sun screen over the top of the wind shield.

  • @allefebure504
    @allefebure504 Рік тому +6

    For the roof rack, maybe consider rusting it and clear coating over the rust. They have chemicals you can use to make it rust fast. Hydrogen peroxide, salt and vinegar I believe is one solution. There’s probably others. Use a satin clear coat to seal in the rust to stop it from getting worse or staining your paint. Also, thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy watching them!

    • @austinniemela

      Yes that is how I did my front bumper! Thanks for watching!

    I think matching to the current paint would look best. For your 1st time the outcome is sweet and the one off look sets it apart in a positive way.

    Nice Tiara.
    Fantastic workmanship. Learning on your own time and dollar is the only way to go.
    Sports bars for the tray/bed is a must !

    Long,long time ago, I used to work on a muffler shop, and we used welding rods to make bends we used them against the pipes to be bends and mach to the pipe works like a champ

  • @richardball9116
    @richardball9116 Рік тому

    front axle tie rods on heavy trucks that have gotten bent can be straightened by batting them on a block of wood that's standing on end on the floor. I used this technique to bend 1 1/2 " sq. X .095 tube to make a ladder rack for a 1989 Toyota truck I had. Gradual arches only, like to match the top of the cab and such.

    I have never been so excited to wait for the next episode. Everytime you post a new video I can't wait to see what ideas you come up with. Keep up the excellent work. I totally out of the box design episode 👌👌👌

  • @eldonhalliburton4766
    @eldonhalliburton4766 Рік тому +1

    A tube bender has its place tho, but a tube roller works well on long radiuses if your fabricating lots of those. I’m in construction and seems that I could never have enough tools!
    Digging the build.👏

  • @monkeybarmonkeyman
    @monkeybarmonkeyman Рік тому +2

    I'd be tempted to make it more useable with perhaps another cross tube and some time down points... or at least some type of metal 'floor' that keeps anything attached to the roof rack off the actual roof. I agree with others - for a first time, darn good effort. And yes, the bending of wire works nice after you've done a few.

    Love your videos man.
    The HF tubing roller is a very useful tool for making a long radius. Maybe not the best for this project but something to keep in mind.
    Also, when you're coping your tube, you only need to cut your tube about 1/3 longer than the diameter of the hole saw. This will save some material and make your hole saw last longer.

    Black for sure. Or cherry powdercoat like the wheels

  • @xispaki

    i was told that to prevent this "tube fail" from happening, they just fill the tube with sand and close the edges! Don't know if it's true and never try it! 😁 Great video Austin!

    Your perseverance and sticking to the task is amazing and it shows in the work you put out. Great job.
    with regards to the bar, are you going to do a bar on top like a clam? would require you to bend more tubing but that would look retro then you can stick lights in-between the top and lower bar

    Bending pipe isn't easy, big thing is just take your time especially when you get into multiple complex bends.
    I've been an electrician for 20 years and still f up some conduit bends.

  • @yourcaseworker6916
    @yourcaseworker6916 Рік тому +1

    You need to bring those wheels in to the mix...Make them pop more...So I'm thinking color match the tubing of the rack to the rims and then white patina the Toyota section of the rack like you did with the front bumper.

  • @ronthompson2366
