Living in a Toyota 4Runner | My Full Overland Build Tour and Walkthrough
After living in my 4Runner for six months, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to turn this Toyota into the ultimate overlanding rig. In this video, I’ll show you how I’ve built out my 4Runner to accommodate life on the road, balancing comfort, functionality, and capability for off-road adventures and extended camping trips.
This build is more than just a setup-it’s a reflection of my journey. Every modification, from the rooftop tent to the custom storage solutions, was designed to meet the challenges of living on the road while still enabling me to chase my passion for photography and adventure.
This 4Runner wasn’t just built for weekend trips-it was my home. Every part of this rig is designed with purpose, making it capable of tackling rugged terrain, supporting my creative pursuits, and keeping me comfortable no matter where I park for the night.
If you’re into overlanding, vanlife, or just want to see what it’s like to live out of a 4Runner, this video is for you. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more builds, travel stories, and photography tips from life on the road!

    Just stumblee onto your channel. Very cool living the dream. If i could afford this life i would. Id quit Boeing in a heart beat. But id live off my bike, not in a vehicle. Just dont see how one can make it work unless you have tons of money. I get youtube pays if you have enough subs and likes and views. I just sit and watch parts for planes no one works on right now. So while i may have the easiest job at the whole Boeing company, i would give it all up to just live off my bike. In fact thats the plan when I retire is to live off my bike for at least 2 years. Drove semi truck for 11 year across this country. I know all the nice spots. Nice to see a local dude making it happen. As i am up in Lake Stevens. Well have fun out their living the dream of many of us. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along.

    Man I miss the 4Runner. Had one for 2 years and had so much fun and many memories with it. I have since switched to a F150 and it’s just the perfect vehicle for adventures with the Pro Power onboard. It charges everything and I never have to run out of power. Hopefully Toyota will add that feature with the new 4Runner.

    • @tim.muangkeo
      @tim.muangkeo 24 дні тому

      I can see having onboard power like what the f150 has can be useful. They recently announced the new 4runner and it's pretty similar to the previous generations so I don't think it'll be anything like the pro power.
