This is definitely the best Landy-build at the moment in Australia, so much attention to detail. Well done and keep it up. From a South African fan.

Best looking 40 series I’ve ever seen

Cannot wait to see (and hear) this thing move under its own steam. Absolutely amazing.

Hands down best looking 40. Something about sandy and black just looks wicked, awesome job man. Very interesting and professional built. Hats off to you.

Looks pretty spectacular, you can see all the time and effort you put into such a great vehicle

Hell yes Richard!! Looks so good mate 👌 The end result is a credit to all of the hard work and late nights from you and your mates!!

I think it looks beautiful... A job very well done.. looking forward to seeing it in action... well done brother!

Sweetest build ever. Wow, just wow!!

Would never have this car left out on the road overnight. Looks amazing

I wouldn’t sleep at night while it was at the auto electricians for a few weeks so theres no way in hell i would park that in the street looks awesome

So stoked for this Richard, can’t wait to lay my eyes on her in person!

Looking absolutely brilliant mate

I absolutely can not wait for your first drive video! You reap what you sow in life , and you have the best crop around! Keep at it and cut no corners ! Regards Tony.

Man this thing is amazing!!!! I just watch the entire build so far in a day!!! Was searching for custom air box and it popped up. Great work can't wait to see it finished!!!!

Replace the coils with bags and drop the bags to get in the garage. I'm sure airbagman would help you out.

Do some fibreglass floor tubs. That fit the space and contain all the mud. You should be able to make them pop in and out with black resin to match.

Amazing work ! Truly inspiring...... I can't wait to get mine finished. Again, congrats on a job well done

This will be one of a thousands of comments that will tell you that it's what you envisioned 18 months ago and have nailed it. I'm jealous as and I would never normally say that just because a LC with a FORD engine 👊 but you have engineered it and it's spot on dude hope you have years of fun in her..

Looks so good one of the cleanest 45 builds

Looks great! Should paint Barra cover sandy. Also have you thought about going full airbag replacements front and rear instead of coils - could fix the garage height problem without having to modify the garage?

Wow 😮 unreal mate. I hope you feel extremely proud of yourself. Must be lying awake like a kid before Christmas waiting to drive it. An idea might be to Dynabolt some tie down points into the concrete floor of the garage and use your winch to pull it back into the shed. Happy days

Great progress and stimulating content

Really breaks the black up with the taupe rear arch👌👌

absolutely gorgeous vehicle sir, can't wait to see it on some dirt

So cool Rich! Congrats!

Change the door out I had to the same to fit 100 series in do it once how you want you will love it 👍🍻 great job

So Good! 👌 Tru-fit Carpets and vinyls for flooring options

Awesome work mate! Worth every hour.👍👌

Super awesome build, I love how it turned out. You should be really proud of your work!

So sick dude! Impressed AF

Dang 😈 !! Killing buddy. Ya making a killer ride… 👍🏻

Looks unreal, amazing work

Followed the whole build, love it

Mate, again…bloody awesome. Two things: 1. Loved the paint scheme (as mentioned before). Not a suggestion but my thought only. A white roof would’ve looked good too (kinda like the old factory look). But saying that, looks great as is. 2. Before you fit off the glass in the doors, place some pieces of “car-builders” on the inner door skin. The door will sound A LOT less tinny plus help curb the road noise. Don’t stress if you can’t place it every where, every bit will count. Again, a suggestion only. Keep 🤘

You built a work of art man! For your first build you killed it💪🏼I hope you are proud of what you have been able to do

Well done so far mate! Looking really good!

Dude, killer job. And I love the sneaky lightbar above the windscreen, which kinda doubles as a bit of a visor. Great work mate, at the pointy end now. And I can't wait to see it in person. You're an absolute legend. Once again, great work. Top tier.

This build is just amazing

Keep up the good work looks mint.

Hey Richard love the build mate keep the great work up could not look better love the videos keep it up

Congratulations!😍 Nice job!!!!

What a great creation. Your attention to detail is of a high standard. I like the Colour contrast. Wise to use a Toyota Colour. Sandy Taupe. Looks great. I would definitely lock this Vehicle away. Store it inside!

Looks mint, job well done!

Looks awesome bro!

Definitely wouldn’t mind it being out on the street a couple nights not all the time though looks amazing great job🥳

Killing it as always mate.

done an awesome job mate, looks mint

The Mog strikes again 👌 great work 🤙

It’s coming out great well done

Quality build, it’s a tough looking 45 👌

Looks good

Looks unreal brother! An idea for the interior flooring, it's a bit different but you could try EVA tread. Most commonly used in marine applications but might suit your needs.

Super ep richie. Love it! Great engineered solutions and quality workmanship. Only tip if you plan on a lot of offroad use: spring washers and red loctite on everything. To compliment your nylocks. You will be amazed how nuts and bolts work loose if doing a lot of offtoad work

I've raised and Installed roller doors, it's not the easiest but two high lifts, block and tackles will get it higher for new mounts

So perfect.

Can't wait to see her on the road!

Looks so nice!! I hope engeneering goes well!!

This thing is so sick

So sick man! Congrats on 10k

👍 for the Mog

Showroom build man sooooo freaken tidy jealousy runs deep

Love the build man, just one thing I would of done is got the bolts all power coated the bolts black, but everything else I love Keep it up

Bloody oath mate been watching since ep 1 this is amazing

Fantastic job Richard and friends, it looks great, yes it looks like a 45, BUT, it's YOUR 45 mate !!! Absolutely right mate it should be garaged but just how you're going to do that is going to be a big shed mod in itself. I love everything about the truck, the headlights, light bar, dash setup, just brilliant Buddy. For me it's been edge of the seat stuff waiting to see what comes next, I like the suttle silver bits, the high mount and the fair lead at the front just to add an extra accent. Are you going to sound deaden the inside of the bonnet? Well done Buddy. Seeya Rob

Love it

Looks absolutely awesome and great achievement. Only one thing in my opinion I would of painted the grill original cream/white for a bit of contrast. Congratulations on the build. So close to rego you must be over the moon.

Looks 👌 would like it see garage mods

“It came out alright in the end” - understatement of the year! Looks great. Best of luck with the engineer. Cut your lawn ;)

Good shit mate! Yeew!!

GOOD THING!!!!!!!!!!! UP YA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Richard , l had a troopy many years ago and did a 307 chev and 5 speed 60 series manual conversion . Just thought id throw my 5 cents worth into the ring ! You may want to consider taring the underside of the guards as it will cut down a lot of road noise and also protect it from stone chips! It does not make it look bad if you do a neat job as it is a black finish that stands up to pressure washing absolutely. All the best dude , i may see you at the motorex show with a little bit of luck! Regards Tony.

Looks amazing mate well done

Look awesome and you should definitely get vinyl instead of carpet

A panel-lift door would probably pick up the height you need and you definitely need to keep it indoors. The black is working a lot better now with the sandy taupe to break it up. I'll suggest you look at Jonathon Ward's channel and see how he does the floor mats in his ICON builds. It might give you a few ideas on how you can tackle the floor in the FJ. Overall looking very nice, you should be very pleased with the result.

Congratulations Richard! The car has come up amazing. Colour scheme works really well. Looking forward to seeing it in action. Now you have the fan base, what's the next project? 😋 If I remember correctly you were planning something sexy on the back for carrying the bikes.

SICK RIG.👍.

this is definitely a #NEAT4X4!

Looks fantastic and you should be very proud of what you have achieved. With regards to the doors; I know that the space is very tight, but have you considered lining them with something like liquid rubber to dampen the tinniness?

Let’s go baby been here since ep1 :) grats on 10k subs fo

Nice work!

No street sleeps for the big girl!. It'd be in my lounge room! Remove the lounge room window knock out a couple bricks and install roller door, all before the Mrs gets home!!🤣👍

Been keen for this episode for a while your time has paid off 👌sick build

Looks great 👍 would you fit a grab handle for the passenger above the glovebox. But definitely not on the street a work of art like this should live in the shed.

Awesome job mate, can't wait to see the finished product. What is the direction of your channel once this build is completed, are going to build something else, like a canopy I hope so because I have enjoyed the build from the first episode.

Should have put the usb outlets on the rib in the overhead console save the cords dangling down

Richard have a look at Nolans website as sell a pvc backed 2x1m low tight pile Heckmondwike bonded polypropylene expo tile thats impervious and won't hold dirt but big enough to cut to fit for both sides. Then removable if wet and can be steam or high pressure cleaned. ☺

Awesome look too mate. As good as it gets. Where is the tare weight once you know? Also whats your engineering scope as might need advice for the lil shogun om606 project...

Love this build, have you considered a different snorkel head?

Looks amazing and I bet it will go just as good, your garage is to small so keep it in mine👍

Hey mate what door handles are they? Ute looks unreal mate good stuff.

Looks awesome! would love a Barracruiser too. Taking orders?

What auto elec are sending it to?

Would a suckdown winch front and rear be enough to get under the door?

Was behind you today and your brake lights are stuck on most of the time or flicker on and off rapidly, may need to adjust the brake light switch on the pedal or something 👌

Hi mate just watched the opposition 45 series build I was just wondering if you had to get an engineering certificate to get your car registered I find your vehicle a much better quality than there’s

Another quality episode mate. Are you planning to run billet axles?

Is that a battery on back wall behind drivers seat ? What one ?

Lol, did you just influencer out at 00:26? 😂😂😂

What are you guna do after the build?

How much power?
