I kept the same bumper that I had made for the original 4runner frontend. The sides still lined up decent with the wheel arches. The swap gets a lot of compliments when doing group runs with other toyota people. Thanks for watching!

I wish I could get some weather that justified needing it. Arizona has been super warm this year so far. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, and good luck on the repair!

Yes I agree the glass last longer, especially in the Arizona sun. The light output is superior on the tacoma lights. I did do TEQ customs projector lights in my wife's 4runner and they are amazing. They made the light output on par with any modern car. Thanks for watching.

They were just cheap lights from Amazon. I cut the factory filler to fit them and welded 2 studs to bolt them in from the back. The link i have isn't active anymore but another seller may have them. Thanks for watching!

@@carterzaske 01-04 should be the same as far as I've seen online.

@@mattg8787 I don't. I did the battery way before I started filming anything. And the airbox was kind of seat of my pants building. It's just some aluminum plate I had laying around and uses a 4th gen 4runner air filter. I appreciate you watching!

The tires are 33x12.50x15 and you are correct spacers in the front only. I really wanted 15" wheels so the spacers are needed to clear the calipers, as well as grinding a tiny bit off the calipers as well. I have some smaller rotor/calipers from a 4cyl base model that I plan to try to remove the spacers. If braking feels too crappy I'll probably put the bigger calipers back on and go to a 16" wheel. The spacers are Ballistic Fab 1.25" and have never gave me any problems.

@zealousoutdoors great job the 15 inch tires are cheeper too. Patagonia MT are they good on the road with full psi or how do you run them. Thanks.

@@ryanrinehartlaining5680 I run them at 32 psi for the road and 15 for the trail. I'm on my second set as I had them each warrantied out through Discount Tire for nails and thorns. They're defiintely a budget tire, and I haven't got as many miles out of them as I'd like. It's not entirely their fault as I'm rough on the truck and constantly knock the alignment out. They start out fairly quiet but as they wear they get louder. That's been my experience with any mud terrain though. Off road they have been great in rock, sand, mud and snow. I will probably end up replacing them with Yokohama Geolander M/T's as last I checked Discount has stopped carrying them.

@@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR I have the m.o.a.b. dual head compressor. It's the same as the napa compressor. A nice father's day gift.

Awesome I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I'm glad it helped. The aftermarket mirrors suck and all the old stuff is breaking.

Thanks for watching!

Off road performance I can't complain about at all. They've done well in sand, rocks and snow. I haven't got great life out of them, usually less than 20k miles. It's not entirely a tire issue though, since the 4runner is easy to knock out of alignment on nasty trails. I've had one blow out, completely my fault as I had aired down to 15psi and made a 40 mile trip highway trip at 65mph. I think the sidewall had been compromised on that one as the others were fine. I've had one replaced due to a screw, and one due to a huge AZ thorn through the sidewall. All of those were replaced under Discount Tires road hazard warranty no questions asked. Discount seems to have discontinued carrying the Patagonia line, so my next set I plan to get the Yokohama Geolander M/T's. When new they were fairly quiet on the highway, as they wear and chunk out on trails they have become pretty loud.

@@zealousoutdoors thanks for the reply. I think I’m going with the geolanders then. I had them before

I'm not sure I used the screws that are stock for the 4runner.

Unfortunately it has got too hot in AZ to give it a try with actual camping. Thanks for watching!

At 1:07 I show the specs on a yellow notepad. I did change the length from what is written from 15x34" to 16x34" for the main bottom section. The depths were based on my truck having a 2" body lift to keep it flush with the frame. I have done another box on a non body lifted 4runner, and it looked like it would be fine as is. Overall it's width and length is 16x34 and it's 12" deep towards the axle and 10" deep towards the bumper. I don't have measurements for wood floor, but it was all made from a 4'x4' piece of 3/4" plywood.

Thanks for watching!

I've been thinking of mounting the compressor in the rear box and running an air fitting to the outside, using the 2nd battery power posts that are already in that corner. The only thing stopping me so far is that the 2nd battery runs off an isolator and I can hear the compressor motor speed up and slow down as the isolator cycles. Because of that I usually have it hooked directly to the main battery. I'm sure it'll be fine it just sounds funny. The usb ports are also off the 2nd battery and control the interior lights I mounted in the rear. It's really handy for charging all my stuff while not needing the truck to be powered on. I have plans to do the CS144 alternator upgrade which would probably help with the high amp draw of the compressor. With the 200w solar I have up on the roof I can have the fridge on 24/7 and the batteries are always good to go. I appreciate you watching!

The work you’ve done is awesome. Hope you consider the inside noise if you install it inside. I immediately thought about when I saw your compressor. The noise these compressors make is insanely loud though. I’ve gone through 2 compressors already and if I burn this out I’ll get two smaller quieter ones and install them inside the driver’s rear quarter panel to try and protect them from the elements. Switching the compressor on fills the tank and gives a burst of air on the first tire which really helps. My other 4Runner is a 1st get running front and rear winches off the original alternator. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself with that comment. That one has an awesome air system. I’ll do a quick video on it and post it.

Oh yeah I'm sure it would be loud. I use to build bagged minitrucks and the compressor was loud and would run a lot. I only really air down a couple times a year so it probably wouldn't bother me too bad on the 4runner. I'll keep an eye out for your 1st gen video. I love old Toyotas, the oldest I've had was a 73 HIlux. I'd love a 84-85 4runner but the straight axle trucks demand some money.

I've done a couple for other people so far but at the moment I don't have the time and space. Thanks for watching!

I don't have like part numbers since I bought most of the parts from a local sheetmetal supplier. It's basically 01-04 core support, fenders, hood, hood hinges, hood latch, hood latch support, grille, headlights, side marker lights, grille filler under headlights. I had to find the marker light clips on amazon as they didn't come with the new fenders. The new grille came with the clips to mount it. I want to say all in it cost about $800 in parts. I have the steel bumper so I didn't need to find a factory style. I tried to find a complete donor truck with no luck so I went aftermarket on almost everything. I also had to work the a/c lines and dryer to fit, but all the stock 4runner parts where able to be used. I hope this helps. It's a fun mod that gets a lot of compliments on trail runs.

@@zealousoutdoorsThats awesome, thanks so much for the info. i cant wait to get started. hopefully if i remember i can give more info on for the next person that wants to do the swap too :)

You are 100% correct. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I just picked up some parts for another third gen I bought, and that guy has a 03 tacoma that he 4runner swapped. 😂

That’s the 6th gen yall That thing is literally a taco suv idk what Toyota was thinking by giving them similar front grill designs

It would have to be custom mounted for sure. I don't have a stock mirror around anymore to reference. Thanks for watching!
