We had Silver Lake all to ourselves!
Matthew and Drake spent a few days in Mears MI, playing on the dunes and exploring the trails in the area. We were also visited by Jason, who took his Tacoma offroad for the first time! Since we were there in the middle of the week, the dunes were practically empty which made for a great time.

4Runner vs. Jeep Wrangler! Off-Camber Washout Climb
Переглядів 3,2 тис.2 роки тому
As the trail leader, I attempted to go up the main trail in my 4Runner. After trying to get up the obstacle a few times, I decided to take a tow strap to avoid damage to the trail or the vehicle. Most of the rest of the group took the bypass. Ordinarily taking the bypass is NOT the preferred option, as this results in excessive trail damage (Tread Lightly!), however in this case we felt that dr...

Ryobi One+ Power Inflator Test

Total Inflation Time (9 psi to 32.5 psi): 8 minutes A simple video testing the capabilities of the Ryobi One Power Inflator as an alternative to a traditional 12V compressor for airing up tires after offroad driving. Overall this product will work, however it will use a lot of battery (I expect about 5 Ah to do all 4 tires from 10 psi) and will take a long time (about 32 minutes for all 4 tires...
Subaru and Toyota Water Crossing!
Переглядів 2113 роки тому
Kees in his 05 Forester and Matthew in his 03 4Runner ventured out for a quick afternoon trail ride at Yankee Springs. With all the recent rain there was plenty of water across the middle of the trail we had to travel through. This slowed us down so we couldn't cover all the trails we usually do, but there was more than enough fun to be had for all! Follow Kees on Instagram! @darkgreenfozzy ins...

Drake and Matthew, along with another friend Jason, spent the Sunday of Labor Day weekend exploring a small portion of Manistee National Forest in northern Michigan. Overall we covered about 60 miles, with some excitement along the way. Great scenery, a good obstacle right at the beginning, and a couple fallen trees to navigate. As the fall colors progress, expect to see more action from the ru...

Welcome to the channel! In this video, we are briefly introducing what this channel is and who we are. Our first proper video is now live, so be sure to go and check that out.
Does 4runner and gx470 share the same frame??
Does anyone reply to comments from this channel?
We ride here often, great area, live in Roscommon. MI
Camera angle is 🚮
so what's the deal with this whole xterra thin g
how do you get the console over the shifter knob?
The gap is big enough to wiggle it out
Do you know about this problem 03 Forerunner, it sounds like the front hubs are locked or bad axel bearings , like it stuck in a lower gear. Makes noise that didn't have before
Wow this was so much work. Props to you guys. Me personally I wouldve just bought a new 4runner but seeing the cost of new vehicles i understand why
I followed the steps in this video exactly and after flipping the switch back off my VSC & Track lights remain on. Any ideas as to why my vehicle makes me turn key off and then back on to get the lights to shut off and VSC & TRAC to reengage? I thought this method was supposed to make it so that wasn't required?
Where did you get a good frame
I don't think they reply to comments on here which is weird because the entire family helped on this. But I will. I got lucky looking for a gas tank strap at a junk yard and it took me a minute before it dawned on me that the frame was brand new just about. Its like my brain took a crap and I didn't know what to do I was so excited and the engine and control arms were already stripped so all's I had to do was take off the gas tank and rear end and 8 body mount bolts and got the frame for $253 which they tried to get me for 473 but I had to argue with the guy but he wouldn't budge but thank God my nephew with the flatbed truck knew the owner and called him directly and come to find out it was the owner who gave me the price of $253 so I got it for 253. I've been sitting on it though for 6 months now and I want to know what problems these guys had to where they had to remove the engine because I'm not doing that. It's possible but I don't want to be stuck here trying to figure it out because isn't that the point of this video to help others or is it just click bait for views. It seems that way because they don't reply to any comments.
so one prong on the switch goes to a ground and the other goes the the tap in wire right? i did that and it’s not working
what did you use to tap into the wire
Спасибо, не думал что это так просто)
Moment you started painting with cans it was wrong 😄
Wow!! Y’all did an awesome job!! Wanna do mine? 8)
The old frame could’ve easily been fixed with Safe T cap or just some fabrication. Maybe it was cheaper for you guys to swap the frame but either way. You have a brand new 4R lol
Bummer, I really thought this would work out, but what should I have expected from such a small machine. That little bugger is just working too hard and takes too long for what I want. And for $50 on Amazon, I am just going to have to pass. Thanks for the review
Is it possible to swap the frame without taking the engine out? Just raise the whole thing up then secure the body and engine and then drop the frame? Or is there a reason why?
Thank you 👍
The frame you replaced looks a lot better than mine 😂
Well done ! Thanks for sharing
So i have a 08 4 runner. my aux port hasn't been working so i decided to take it apart and look. my aux port doesnt go to anything. its just the wire that's connected to the aux port. i didn't see any other wires connectors that would fit it. does the aux wire harness's come from the back or the front? im really confused on why that's not hooked up and where the rest of the wiring is.
Looks bad ass, I think me and my FJ need to run thru there!
4 runners are worth the work
MUVM maps for forest roads is publish by US NATIONAL FOREST DEPARTMENT
Land erosion is going to be the downfall of offroading in Michigan... Michigan's northern half is almost entirely made up of sand blown in off the Great Lakes over the centuries. When the Tree Huggers realize the damage done by 4x4's to the landscape the end of 4wheeling in Public Lands and Forests will come to quick end. Heavy rains on 4x4 wheel ditches only will increase the damage each year. There will not be an end to the erosion once started by wheeling.
Hats off to you friend for giving her so much love. Frame swap..sheeeesh! Good work. She's a beaut!!
Good way to screw up your vehicle. I worked too hard and too many years to screw up my truck... What's the point of doing that?? Crazy stupid!!
You got a Coyote V8 by Ford in that jeep? Cool!!
I would never take my jeep though that ditch!! I don't have a jeep.
I own a 05 runner. The frame is going on mine too. Im shopping for another frame . My 4runner is my favorite SUV. Ill do what it takes to have a long life with it.. if you owned one youll understand. Most dependable machine Ive ever had. Aside from the rusted frame issues😂
Same. I had the rear cross member finally rust out on me while towing my pop-up home this weekend. I am very sad.
You have any issues with transfer cases I heard they have lots of issues
Nice Work
Awesome project.
How is it now
Still going strong, haven't used it to fill up a full size tire in a while. Very convenient for lawnmower and bicycle tires.
I dont know man. I like going off road to see places. Not take the hardest line possible, Im not sure I'll ever quite understand the people that run their rigs up rocks, tree stumps and fork lifts.
Open diffs just don't get the job done.
No they don't! Hopefully going to be solving that as soon as I can track down an axle from a newer 4Runner at a decent price.
All that work in labour just to fix a truck that's worth no more then 7K on the market.
what did you clean it with and coat it with? And how is it holding up so far?
After sanding down the rusty spots and wire wheeling the whole thing, I just cleaned with denatured alcohol. Painted with Rustoleum flat black enamel paint, which has held up very well to 3 Michigan winters so far! This year I'm going to touch up some spots and coat the whole thing in Fluid Film before they salt the roads.
hi from Brutus, looks really fun
Lots of fun for sure! Michigan has a lot of hidden gems to explore.
Hi from Cheboygan. Cool video!
Thanks for watching! You live in a beautiful part of Michigan, jealous of that!
I'm getting read to install a switch for a light bar into my center console. This video is just what I was hoping to find to help me run my wires. I didn't realize it was so simple to get the dash apart. Thanks for making it!
Glad it helped! These interiors really come apart and go together easily once you know how. I've had mine apart dozens of times and haven't broken a clip yet!
whats the best way to find trails like this. went from 2 wheels to 4 and its really limiting where i can ride.
The best way I've found is to join a local 4WD club. Try to find one that follows Treat Lightly principles so you don't ever end up in legal trouble going where you shouldn't. From there, you'll be able to tag along on trail rides led by other members to learn about cool spots. The other options is to look for ORV maps put out by your state. Michigan has ORV Trails for ATV's and dirtbikes, but they also have ORV Routes for full size licensed vehicles. There's usually lots of cooler two-tracks near the routes to explore. Also, Forest Service roads are public access and some of those can be pretty cool too.
Shoulda engaged the center diff lock
Center diff lock doesn't do anything for the the axles to lock left wheel to the right wheel. Plus 4Runner doesn't have e a center diff lock button it just does automatically. You're think of the Land Cruiser. But it still wouldn't lock the axles left to right.
@@MrNismopro the v8 fourth gen has an e center locker that makes it a 50/50. And your right it wouldn’t lock it left to right but it would give it a better power distribution( I only know it has the button cause I personally own a fourth gen v8)
@@weaponxduarte exactly
Center was locked.
Sweet 😋 video!
Thanks!
Great job--excellent camera placement, well edited, succinct commentary. Thanks for this very useful video.
Very glad you found the video helpful!
“Open diffs and 32s”. You’re braver men than me. I don’t think I’d try this in a Tacoma with a rear locker, sliders, and 33s
Atrac is all you need
Thanks haha, I figured there was a good chance I'd get stuck but the risk of damaging anything was low as long as I played it safe, so I gave it a shot.
@@americanmade422 ATRAC is amazing 👏
ATRAC is always the answer... 😃
I just throw mine in 4h and bump it harder, my 5th Gen has A Trac but sometimes gotta give some skinny Pedal. Nice work though looks like a fun trail
Cool 😎
wwo good sea manistee
I came back the next day.. this man still pumping air and holding the trigger. LOL
