Has to be the single best video I've ever seen on a 5th gen😳💪
T4rTrail Thanks! Really appreciate the nice comment! 😉👍
I guess im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Bishop Avi instablaster =)
@Warren Ricardo Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Warren Ricardo it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
I feel like you know exactly what the 4Runner is capable of. I wouldn't have the courage to do even a half of what you did in this video with my 2017.
Thanks! Really it's just a super capable truck with a crazy driver. LOL
A jeep can do all of this also change the title
@@jeepwranglerjk1 maybe, but it doesn’t have the dependable and longevity of a Toyota... The title is spot on... Jeep is made by Chrysler , seriously 😂... Chrysler is possibly the worst manufacturer of vehicles on the planet....
@@matthewwindisch9449 I was gonna say the exact same thing.
@@jeepwranglerjk1 lol Jeeps are superior off roaders but they suck at literally everything else.
Thanks for the original audio and no music. Thumbs up!!!
Thanks! 😉👍
Wow! Considering what I would call minimal mods, this really tackled some serious off roading. I would have lost numerous bets that it never would have made it and then you did.
Unbelievable how capable they are in the right hands. Well done!
Thanks really appreciate it!😉👍
This is basically a 4Runner commercial. Toyota should pay you.
Lol thanks for the compliment! 😉👍
Can’t say much about Jeeps. Never had one, but 4 runners is a legend when it comes to relatability and longevity
Honestly jeeps are not bad I've owned a few, just like the 4runner so much better for what we do. It's the Goldie Locks of Off- Road vehicles.
I’ve owned both vehicles and currently own a 2021 4Runner Venture package and love it. Jeeps are great except for the recalls, highway driving and towing and 4Runner beats the Jeep in those categories.
I promise I clicked on the wrong thumbnail and wound up watching this whole video with goosebumps. Good quality video without the SAME tips/tricks ruining the content. Well done guys!
Lol 😂 thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
I've seen a lot of 4Runner 5th gen videos but nothing like this one. My favorite video so far dude ☝️☝️☝️
Thanks really appreciate it!
I second that.
Proof that if you have a very capable vehicle (and a good driver) you don't need huge lifts and monster tires to do a lot of amazing off roading. I also see why you installed the snorkel at some point! Great video, thanks!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I've never seen more skilled driving, interrupted every once in a while looking like you were going to dump it lol
😂thanks!
Sand, water, mud, rocks and even ice....💪 And jump👍👍👍. The BEST SUV 4runner. I think so. Good video👏👏👏
Thanks so much!😉👍
And a jeep 🤣🤣🤣 don't forget the jeep
@@oniecchi Undoubtedly, the jeep is a legend, a military, jeep, a civilian jeep and so on...👍🦾💪
Very impressive! What a capable off-raider! And no turbo 4-banger either. You convinced me to consider buying a 4Runner. Bravo
Thank you!
I was on the fence about getting a 4runner until I saw this video I've watched a thousand 4runner videos but this is the best by far and it's 4yrs old when I'm watching it in 2024 watching this video this is the vehicle for me when I get My 4runner toyota should give a portion of the $ to this channel bc I kn I'm not alone greatest 4runner video ever
Thank you! You’ll love the 4Runner! Mine is still going strong 180k miles. Have a few road trips next month.
Some water-crossings before snorkel was installed looked so scary. I was glad to see you modded it later :)
For sure!😂
The ending makes it look like you murdered a jeep and left it to sleep with the fishes. Great vid as always. Quite a few pucker moments!!
LOL Thanks!
LMFAO that’s exactly what I was thinking. Jeep got wacked
Excellent footage really demonstrates the capability people don’t realize where they’ll go!
Thanks appreciate the comment! They are super capable!
Truth. I mean i just bought a SR5 Premium. I feel bad that i cant do half of this. I really was looking for the reliability. Hopefully the new one doesn’t stray too far.
Absolute banger of a video mate. Should be required viewing for anyone trying to decide which off road SUV to choose.
Thank you!
I have a 5th gen 4R and FJ, your videos makes me think that I am wasting my Runner's and FJ's life in my garage..lol .. This is the best video of 4R 5th gen ever. Keep it up bud.
Thanks! Definitely get the 4runner out there, nothing like it!
Save the FJ those will be worth some money down the road.
Thanks! Get them out there!😉👍
@@jimerinrose6235 Haha true :)
A lot depends on the driver too! Great video and driving!
Thanks! 😉👍
Definitely, the best video of the 4runner I have seen, should be the toyota promo video. 👌👌Cheers man!
Thanks really appreciate that! 😉👍
What a clinic you put on here. Your knowledge and skill with the 4R is out of this world. I wish i could do half of it.
Thank you! Really appreciate the nice comment!
Great Vid Man! You show what the 4Runner is really capable of, great driving mate!
Thanks really appreciate it!!! :)
Thank you for not adding a horrible music track
Your welcome!😉👍
Thats some advertising here. Like brite lite did to Rubicon, you should do the same to Toyota. One of the best video of capabilities of 4runner. Good job guys !
Thanks! Really appreciate it! 😉👍
Saved forever! Just purchased a 2021 SR5 Premium. No lift put BFG stock 265 70R17 KO2’s, Aries running boards that won’t protect a damn thing but look pretty, no locker or crawl feature.
So now I’m jealous as hell! Plus that silver is just beautiful! I got a red one.
Oh well some say a 4Runner is a 4Runner.. I would beg to differ.
Congrats man you win!
Congrats on the new truck! The SR5 is really a good truck and is crazy capable stock. Thanks for the comment and get out there!😉👍
Gotta love the 4Runner, when I was in South America we had a few 4Runners, Hiluxes and Land Cruisers for daily everything. Never had an issue, those things are built to last for generations.
Can tell your confidence in that 4Runner is sky high. They are such great trucks. Have fun and be safe.
Thanks so much! 😉👍
Wow. Amazing skills! And this is why I own a 4Runner.
Thanks! 😉👍
You make it seen easy; you are one of the best-off roaders around, congrats on your skill and bravery. The 4 Runner, yeah, like nothing else.
Thanks so much for the nice comment. Really appreciate it!
Awesome video! Really enjoyed it. Great camera angles and tons of locations.
Thanks! Really appreciate it! :)
Man you BEAT that thing! I’m impressed you’re that hard on it. I always assumed 4runners to be decent off roaders with good reliability, but I didn’t expect anything like this! How is it holding up for you? Curious about the ifs and steering rack, undercarriage, etc
Yea it it doesn't have an easy life. We also tow with it all the time. Only had two issues. Rear main seal failed twice under warranty from all the the mud and dirt getting in the bell housing. Once I started blocking the inspection hole and rinsing it out with water I have not had a single issues. I also wear out the stock lower control arm bushings about every 40-50k. The RCI skids looks I did a tour in Iraq and hit a few IED's.The rest of the steering, CV's, OME lift and SPC adjustable upper control arms have been flawless no issues. The truck is really rock solid and ready for more. I have a full walk around and mods video on my channel. ua-cam.com/video/Zrtd5qsXDbQ/v-deo.html
Loving how modest the modification is. Too many people are going overboard with these cars now a days
Thank you!
2018 trd off road? Nice! I got the 2021 model back in October.
Yes 18 TRD off road Congrats on the new truck
yep... even though the title is click bait, I'd have to agree... I've owned both and got double the life from my 4runner... even when I traded my 97 sr5 on my new limited... the v8 engine and transmission were fine after 233k miles towed skiboat and offroaded... no major issues! my wrangler was loosing compression at 95k miles.
All of that aside, this guy Jim is a very good driver! I've seen more capable rigs have issues on the trail! Nice video... scenery is amazing!
Hi Andrew,
You are absolutely correct! Thanks for the comment! 😉👍
Excellent job building and driving your 4runner. Should be mandatory for all new 4runner owners to watch
Lol Thanks really appreciate it.
Wtf??? How did the jeep end up like that?? There??? Lol. Awesome video 👍👍 you drive the hell outta that 4runner
No clue? I rolled up on it like that. Either he was doing donuts or hit the mud hole wrong.
Jeep and raptor left the a chat. 4runner can do everything
Raptor isn't even an opponent
Dude. I love how you actually wheel your 5th gen! Absolutely loved my 14 TE when I had it. I’ll take my twin locked Jeep on 37’s for trails like the rubicon though. Just so much easier with a lot of flex.
Thanks! Yea we love ours, tough as nails and drives awesome. Such a do it all vehicle. Yea I had a few jeeps definitely better at rock crawling but don’t tell my 4Runner that. 😂
@@jimerinrose6235 that is the only thing that a Jeep is better at and they brake way more often. For everything else the 4runner is WAY better.
That first gasp at the start of the video was my same reaction. Dope vid!
Lol Thanks!
That smile at 3:15 is why I bought a 4Runner
LOL that’s my reason for keeping it! 😂
Just saw the video. Amazing driving. What an amazing car the 4 runner. Loved every second of it.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
I live in Florida, South of Ocala, near Wildwood. Just bought me a used 2020 TRD Off Road Premium, love it. Love your video!!
Thank you! Enjoy the new rig!
@@jimerinrose6235 I enjoy going to The Withlacoochee National Forest (AKA The Croom) between Brooksville and Bushnell, down Hwy 48, lots of fun, you can see wildlife, meet up there one day.
As an owner of both I would say if you want a pure off road toy, you can’t beat a Jeep for ability, aftermarket support, and price. If you want an amazing daily driver with some good off road ability and insane reliability, get a 4Runner. Most generations of Jeep wranglers can do everything in this video completely stock.
Nice video,get right to the meat and potatoes.You really show how capable these 4Runners are,Jeeps done even compare.
Thank you!😉👍
haha damn you're a mad man. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Really appreciate it!😉👍
Definitely got some courage.. I just spent 43k on my new 4R, couldn’t imagine doing most of this, as much as I’d like to..
You've got balls bro
Lol 😂 Thanks!
Everything about this video was awesome! Great content, great driving!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!😉👍
I've got a 2020 SR5, and I play it careful when I'm driving it, but evidently I don't need to, if this video is any reference
A beast driven by good driver
What size tire ? Is it 285/70 or 255/80 ? I like them a lot and have the same TRD off road rims too, but want to upgrade tires to either pizza cutters or 285's ... Oh also did you have to trim anything to fit them ?
285’s I removed the mud flaps, moved the front plastic wheel well forward a few inches at the bottom, and installed adjustable UCA’s to be able to adjust Caster with the bigger tires/3inch lift. I have a mods video here. ua-cam.com/video/Zrtd5qsXDbQ/v-deo.htmlsi=6r69SFTN4FCrUD3C
Thanks!
"4Runner for sale. Adult owned. Underside washed regularly. Super-low miles. Serious buyers only -- no joy rides!"
hahhahaaaaa!
Nice to see someone actually wheeling for once instead of setting up camp, cooking, sight seeing and all the other bullshit people put in videos. Keep up the good work
Thanks really appreciate it. We don’t do that other stuff.😂
Love your channel. Great stuff! How many years experience do you have off-roading? Looks like your a professional driver of some sort. Are your RSG sliders DOM or HREW? Are you running wheel spacers? Toyota should be paying you
Thanks really appreciate the nice comment! I’ve done other motorsports but just started off-roading when I bought the 4Runner. The RSG Sliders are HREW here’s the link to the ones I have rsgmetalworks.com/products/2010-toyota-4runner-flat-sliders-with-grip-top-plate?rq=yr_2018~mk_toyota~md_4runner Thanks again! 😉👍
@@jimerinrose6235 How do you like the sliders? Are they a good step in for women and children? On my FJ you have to step over them and it is a huge step in for my wife. Looking to get some for the GX460 that can maybe be used as a step?
I’m really liking the silver. I went with the super white. Didn’t get the silver because my wife and I have a silver Subaru already. Love your videos. I had a chance to pop my cherry at Rousch creek off road park in Pa few months ago. A lot of fun.
Bob Cows Thanks really appreciate it! Have to try that park next time we’re in PA have family up there.
Great video. Let me know next time you are up in Virginia again. I'd love to get both of our rigs out on the trail together.
JEEPASAUR Sounds good! 😉👍
This video made me buy my 5th gen back in July just FYI...
LOL That’s awesome!! How do you like it?
@@jimerinrose6235 it’s great! Still stock. Will probably keep it fairly mild since it’s a DD but KO2s and sliders at a minimum this spring.
Is or was your 4Runner stock at the film ing of this video? Thanks
3inch lift, bigger tires, skids/sliders, diff breather, Snorkle.
Wow… the driving confidence
Thank you!
I feel like you toyota 4runner,you 're the best in the world 💪💪✌️✌️
Absolutely!
Nice driving . Great terrain to play in
Thank you!
I have a 4Runner but would love to have a Jeep one day! Buy them both!
Remind me never to buy a silver 4Runner for fear that it would be this one lol
Don’t worry I have no plans on selling it. Just turned 175k and no signs of giving up.😂 Did 1,000 mile trip this weekend hauling a 6,000 lb trailer.
I feel like some Carfax entries are necessary hahahaha
😂 LOL
Nice work. I did some similar stuff in my SR5. Now I got a 2020 Pro Magnetic grey. I need to tone it down a bit. Great vid.
Thanks! 😉👍 congrats on the new truck
5:10 ... how rock sliders protect your vehicle ... LOL
Mike Wright Yea they have taken a hit or two! 😂They are even better at stopping Door dings! I can’t tell you how many times they have saved the truck from parking lot idiots throwing their doors open. Last week my wife was just sitting in the truck and some old lady open her door so hard and hit the slider my wife said the whole truck moved! It took the coating off the slider she hit it so hard.
Most owner will never have this much fun including me.
Lol It’s not to late for you!😉
@@jimerinrose6235 thanks brother
Love the jump at the end 😁
Thanks! That was a fun!😂
Just got a 2022 4runner SR5 platinum!
Awesome! Congrats!
Pretty damn impressive as well as convincing the 4Runner can run with the Big Dogs 🐕👍👍👍
Thanks really appreciate it! ;)
It is a "big dog" lol
Great videos. Love it. Fearless
Thank you!
Holy cow! Takes a Likin & Keeps on Tickin! 😂
Absolutely 😉
best video i've ever seen ✅️
Thank you so much.
Do you have KDSS on that? Is there a mild lift, too? I am
Curious
Hi
No KDSS and I have 3 inch lift. I have a full mods video here
ua-cam.com/video/Zrtd5qsXDbQ/v-deo.html
What o find impressive is that you go over the tough passes without any spotting, Toyota should use your videos to market the 4Runner
Thank you! I appreciate the nice comment.
Also liked the video. Just wheeling in all different terrains like it’s supposed to be done.
Thank you!
6:50... Don't break the car the car that we came in lol, great control.
Lol 😂 I wish more of Erin’s comments were caught on Camera, she cracks me up. Thanks!
Awesome Content!
Thank you!
Ya just can't beat TOYOTA QUALITY 👍😊
Nope! 😉👍
Never any alternator issues with all that water crossing / mud? Awesome video!
Thanks! I’m at 150k still original alternator. I have replaced the starter and belt pulleys(they seized up).
I see a PATTERN here:
The 4Runner is a capable, well built machine. Adventure driven. "Let's Go Places!!!"
Poor Erin, has to get out everywhere to film.
Did I miss anything? lol
Lol sounds about right! 😂
had any issues with A/C? mine doesnt cool anymore. Tried using ac refill and no fix. Maybe its an issue with compressor?
Mine shuts off when I do water crossings or deep puddles. Other than that works good. Check and see if the compressor engages.
I’m sold. Going to buy a 4Runner now
😂👍
@@jimerinrose6235 seriously! just test drove one today. Waiting for the right color to come in before I purchase. Want to get into one before the revamp this generation 4runner. Your Video is awesome!
@@jamesburns9309so you with the underground color?
This hurts and satisfying at the same time lol. Toyota could use this as their ad!
Thanks!😉👍
Just admiring your skill. I just got a 2023 trd offroad and wouldn't do half the shit you do.
Thanks appreciate your comment and congrats on the new rig! You choose wisely!😉👍
I honestly thought you grabbed a rental and seen if you could manage to mess it up but jus couldn’t lol great vid! What upgrades do you have? I see you kept the stock wheels I really like mine too I got the same ones lol
Lol thanks!
I like the stock rims too I bought a brand new set of FB figuring I’d bent or brake one but no they have held up great.
I have a full mod video on my channel
ua-cam.com/video/Zrtd5qsXDbQ/v-deo.html
I’m at 125k miles since new still going 💪
Next trip in a couple months
@@jimerinrose6235 I jus went and watched more of your videos and have come to the conclusion it’s 10% vehicle and 90% driver! Good work
@@jamesbender2061 LOL Thanks for the nice comment.
I'm trying to decide between a SR5 and a Off road. How often did you need to use the rear diff locker and crawl control?
Get the Off-Road and don’t look back. I use the rear locker a lot, the crawl control not much. The extra money you pay for the Off-Road you will get back when you trade or sell it.
@@jimerinrose6235 Thank you for your advise. How about between TRD Off-Road or TRD Off Road Premium?
@@mtalst Premium for sure! The interior will hold up much better.
the gasps!! hahaha
😂
This dude has some seriously big balls.
That beast can be driven like this every day and still last 500k👌
Thanks!
I’m at 135k I have a ways to go
But I’ll get there. 😉👍
Awesome video and not another mall crawler!! Since ownership, any issues besides regular maintenance?
Regular Joe I bought it new Oct 17 and it has around 70k now. The only real issue I’ve had is 2 rear main seals going bad. They replaced them both under warranty. After the second repair they said it was from mud and sand getting into the bell housing. Now I duct tape up the inspection hole before I go off road and spay it out with a hose once in a while. So far it’s been working and no leaks. Also lower control arm bushings wore out from all the off-roading and I had to replace them. Absolutely Love this truck!
Did it have the lift kit on every take of this video?
Yes
Great Run guys 👍 🇺🇲🗽 Get-R-Done 4RUNNER
The Vermonter
Thanks! 😉👍
I hope you guys are doing well, stay safe 💪
Thanks! We are doing good!!!! Hope the same to you! 😉👍
If it Breaks, DADDY will buy a New One👏
Lol I’m 51 I doubt my Daddy is going to buy me a new one 🤦🏻
Nice! What are the complete list of mods? What is the differential breather? Thanks
That's a very effective lift kit.
Thanks! Here’s the mods video
ua-cam.com/video/Zrtd5qsXDbQ/v-deo.html
Can all the fifth generations do that or just the 2018 TRD off road
Depends if I’m driving or not.😂
😆 I hear you my boy!
Amazing! How much of this is in FL? And how many of these mods do you need to enjoy the capabilities of the truck? All I have on my 5th gen is a 3” OME lift and some 33” Coopers.
Frank Leyva Thanks! A lot of it is in Florida
Hard Rock off Road park in Ocala FL
Yucca Pens, Babcock Ranch, and Lazy Springs in SW Florida. Citrus just North of Tampa. The rest of the clips were from some of the other places we’ve been
PA,VA,TN,NC,AZ,CO,UT,CA
Honestly you have all you really need. I have a 3inch OME Lift 33’s KO2’s skids/slider rear diff breather and Snorkle. I also pack recovery gear.
@@jimerinrose6235 Thats awesome! Im in lakeland currently, so it seems like I have plenty of options close by then. If you ever need a noobie to follow you one of these weekends, Id happily volunteer haha
Frank Leyva Sounds good! 😉👍We are on Facebook’s Florida 4runners great place to hookup for group trips.
Best car, best video
Thank you!
3:11 "I'm impressed" ... me too
What's the specs on your 4runner? Lift and tire size.
