Other Bosses: My employee have been working so hard for the company for the past 20 years, I'm gonna give him a coffee mug that says "Best Employee"
Dont forget the pizza party
This is the first time I have seen your channel, and I very quickly became a subscriber. I am 58 years old, almost retired, and I have NEVER worked for any business that would have done anything even remotely as nice as this for any of their employees. A coil spring compressor will be a very nice addition to your tool boxes.
Thank You so much guys! Y’all are the best group of guys I have ever worked with 🧡🧡
I am forever grateful for this gift. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
congrats dude!
Hey mate just a quick tip them icon struts won’t last long you just destroyed them any time you fit front struts you should never tighten in the air lower and let sit at normal ride height other wise they bind up twist and destroy them and not covered under warranty!! I fix this F up every time someone thinks they can save $$ or do the job them self. I’m a mechanic and 4x4 fitter in Australia I work on Toyota’s every day. Awesome build and love the show 👍🇦🇺
@@darrengeorge2308 yeah...I'm sure these guys have no idea what they're doing!
@@RICARD01 🤣🤣 well I just watched it with my own 2 eyes so may be not but I’m not saying that am I ? You are!! 15yrs I been doing it may be I don’t 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣
@Darren George we don't have to do it that way in the USA. You guys are different, because you're on the bottom of the planet. Duh.
OMG, I,m in tears right now.. thay thing in od green is my absolute dream car! the lights, the wheels.. the rack.. I'm saving this build in favourites for future reference.. beautiful build! way to hook up your boy! good job guys!!
I owned a 2005 Tacoma and then a 1998 4Runner and now currently a 2018 Tacoma, this build on throtl was definitely special, the amount of mods and aftermarket parts available for Toyota Tacomas & 4Runners is insane, I hope to see a tacoma on this channel one day
Dear brothers this is what is called friends and there r still angels in the form of friends like u all.take care
On the 5 year anniversary of the fortune 50 company I work for, all I got was a keychain. You guys are amazing!
Everyone complaining about the colour combo. I think it looks good together 😄
I think it looks great with those colors! How does that dark green not go with black and gray?
As someone with a 4Runner on 35s, I can tell you he's gonna tear up those front fenders the first time he flexes that front suspension. You want to trim 1"-1.5" off those fenders and hammer the pinch weld (don't forget to seam seal the pinch weld if you cut it). Also get some taller bump stops. Durobumps are awesome for a mid-travel build like this.
It's LA. It won't see any offroading
yep, going to rub like crazy, I got 34s on a similar lift and had to do a lot of clearance work.
do you think even with the -10 offset?
@@rickychatha1444 negative offset usually makes clearance even worse on 4runners
Love it when you all give back to the guys that make you special. Give-always, dream builds…amazing.
The color of the car and rims go terribly together yikes😬😬... overall sick build besides the color combo 🤙🏼
Agree
I agree too
Yeah w.t.f were they thinking
Weird color combos is a toyota thing theres a reason for it but now is more less used to style the cars
I agree
you can get spring clamps "coil compressors" or whatever for easier springing shenanigans. wall mounted ones for suspension and the regular ones are what ive seen if youre working by yourself
i bet the vinyl wrapping guy doesn't struggle to get up and go to work in the morning 😍
The fact that Throtl put this entire workmanship into a single video is amazing, u can enjoy the whole vid in just one sitting.
This is amazing Tim's toy turned into an absolute beast.. I super love the vinyl color..
The build looks great, I can't say that I'm a fan of the color, but to each their own. I'd love to see what you guys do with a Gladiator.
In some of the shots, looks like there is a pink hue to that tan color, not a fan, especially with the incredible green Black Rhinos.
Yeah, I feel like they should have gone with the same green as the rims, but I guess this the color (direction) Tim picked...
Colors are part dirty diaper collection
Being an off-roader/overlander myself and knowing how much all these parts cost, this dude got absolutely hooked up. Must’ve been well deserving of it because this stuff ain’t cheap! Buddy’s gonna need a regear for them 35’s. 😂
Would have been better if they used extended travel shocks instead to actually make use of the 35s and add flex but to each their own... probably wont leave the road
Just another Mall crawler. That’s it.
@@psyxx_ Tim at least goes on fire roads due to all the dust on the TRD skid and the engine bay.
The one thing I love the most about this channel, is they don’t just buy new cars and are like “look at me!”
Throtl genuinely makes people smile, rather it be their employees, VIP members, or giveaway winners, while also teaching us about cars. I love you guys for this type of content
good friends always win In my life, I have never seen solid and honest friends like you. Frankly, I congratulate you, you are great.👏👏👏👏👏
28:00 min mark is a great view of the wrap 🫡🫣
Legend
Wicked curves
I've been eyeing for the 4runner for a month now then I saw this sick build. Hard work pays off for tim💪 God bless to all the throtl team 🙌🙌🙌
One of my favorite, feel good videos. Every one would love to work with a team of peeps like this. Congratulations, Tim🤙
My boss gave me a raise after 6 years and said maybe I can afford a new truck now. 😅 y'all are awesome for doing this.
That's an amazing job. It's so nice to see that you all value your employee's hard work and dedication, way to go throtl
I didn't watch all the way through before I commented on the color combo, but I still think it looks great, not sure why people don't think it does. Each their own i guess! Great build and super cool of you guys to do that for your employee!
I'm Tim's Twin Stepbrother Jim and I just want to thank the entire Throtl Team for upgrading my twin brother Tim's truck for him!! My Twin Stepbrother and I absolutely love going offloading with his upgraded 4Runner!! Because of everyone at the Throtl Team there is so much room for activities inside it now for my Twin Stepbrother Tim and I!
Thanks Throtl,
Sincerely Jim, Tim's Twin Stepbrother‼️💯🤣😭😭
Why would the external reservoir be routed through the upper control arm? Wouldn’t that pinch the line at full extension? I’ve never seen that before.
I was thinking the same thing. but the truck was at full extension during the install and didnt pinch. still seems wonky though imo
This is the best build I’ve seen in a new 4 Runner. I’ve been into Toyota since I was was a kid and I’ve owned 3 Trucks. I still have two of them. A 99 TRD Tacoma I built and a 08 TRD BFG Tacoma. I have a couple other Dodge and Ford trucks but the Toyotas are the best
Great job and great video guys! Would love to see a 4x4 giveaway vehicle done up like this, a gladiator, tacoma, or 2 door JL/JK even would bee cool! Love the longer videos on a Saturday morning
Looks great! Not sure about the color combo tho. Black wheels would have looked better IMO with that color. Great work as usual
I was thinking the same thing wheels looked good with factory paint also that snorkel was a bit much still bad ass rig though
@@pringledinglefringle8824 Did you see the before images of the engine bay? Tim definitely could use a snorkel and getting out of inhaling dirt and dust into the engine.
Something that I love abt this kinda build is that they fit a snorkel, I see f all ppl in the states do this when they build their rigs whereas here in aus it's 1 of the 1st things we do
1st 4wding thing I done to my ute was a snorkel
That is so awesome that you did it for your worker that you really appreciate!! Says a lot about your company and the owners and all the people that work there!! Just makes you feel good to be a human being!!
The transformation is absolutely an atomic bomb! Such a blast! I love it. How i wish my full stock SR5 can be set up like that so my toyota will not be an underdog anymore in the streets. but im not ashame of it. As a USPS mailman, we all know that mailmen still drive the primitive trucks to deliver. no A/C, right hand driven, smells fume etc. Rain or shine u see us work our ass off. Im proud i got this SR5. need to save a lot to buy some minor modifications. Way to go THROTL! keep up the excellent job!!! 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💥
With friends like this, who needs a warranty.
you don't😂warranty my ass
I know right. It's a nice gesture, but they removed the ability to return the truck to stock. Warranty gone, plus destroyed the resale value. Probably skyrocketed the insurance cost too. There's also the potential that Tim will now have a huge tax liability as "gifts" from your employer are taxed as income (benefit in kind). Plus with the body modifications and drilling into the frame, is it even road legal anymore?
Why would anyone want to return it to stock? This doesn’t automatically void your warranty. And why would he claim it on his taxes?
@@michaelmaas5544 Having it stock increases your potential customer base if he ever decides to sell it down the road. Having a modified vehicle will only appeal to those that find the vehicle, as is, perfect. However, those wanting to customize their own 4Runner or just wanting a stock one will most likely look elsewhere. As for his warranty, Toyota has been known for not respecting warranty agreements if a vehicle has non-OEM parts installed and an issue arises. For instance, if Tim's suspension causes an OEM part to break, Toyota may not fix it. Lastly, as for why he would claim it on his taxes? I don't believe he needs to claim it personally, however, Throtl will have to claim it on his W-2 as a gift as it is seen as wages to an employee (it would fall under being an award for performance), according to the IRS. Throtl will send him his W-2 when taxes are due, and he will need to file it with his taxes.
😂 who cares let him enjoy the Toyota can’t believe people are thinking about W2s and Taxes! Losers
Wow! This is like PIMP MY RIDE on steroids! Only major difference is the guys at throtl did the car up "PROPERLY". F'ing love contents like this!!
Super awesome build, just 2 things that I don’t understand, maybe it’s just my ocd but that massive hole that was left when cutting the front bumper is not for me and also I don’t know why guys install led fog lights, it’s one of the most pointless things. If you’ve ever driven in really bad fog conditions you’ll know led lights just make you visibility worse, I would rather have something tinted yellow or a warmer colour that make a huge difference to cut through the fog. Anyway well done on this build, really love all the mods esp the roof rack
Only thing hotter than the vehicle are the 2 girls helping to wrap from SD Designs. They are gorgeous, and they are involved in the car industry. Doesn't get better than that!
Honestly you guys are some of the best people there are you guys do so much for your co-workers friends /fans and subscribers. Too bad there wasn't more like you guys. Thank you for everything you guys do and it's always such a blast to watch you guys work your magic
It’s amazing the appreciation you have shown to your employer with that amount of, I have worked for my state and gave away 36 years of devoted integrity with human relations and all I received was a plaque ……so how much will I spend to have at least half of those upgrades and where is your shop located ,have a 2024 Toyota 4 Runner trd premium
Build is sick and both the green and tan colors are sweet, but they go together like peanut-butter and olives.
This is LOVE. My face was full of tears and smile of joy for him ❤❤❤❤. You guys did a miracle on that truck. I love the big tyres and every other crazy details going on. ❤❤❤
These guys deserve so much more attention than they're currently getting! Insane videos, awesome people, love it!
No one more deserving than Tim 100% - That dude bleeds for the brand.
Man such good co-workers, especially the managers. Y'all did good it's an awesome build ,can't wait to see the other builds similar to this.
I have a set of deburing tools I made from heat treated files. They never lose their edges. I was taught how to make them from a old man I used to work with. I’ve been working in fabrication and electrical engineering for an ambulance manufacturer for 21 years , almost 22. I’m only 41, but I wish I had the opportunity to work for a better company
Very nice build. Only thing i dont like is the tan color. Should have been another bad ass color to match rest of the vehicle :)
Desert Tan and OD Green my two favorite colors, you guys nailed it, "Again!"
Throtl vip squad good morning Mickey Rickie Quinn Will Victor Shawn Tim Nate Big Jeff awesome congratulations Tim for the remake of your truck😃👍🏼🤙🏽
Jaaaammmmeeessss!!!!
@@RunningSolo Good morning brother 😊🤙🏽👍🏼
Love all the builds I’ve seen from you guys but this might be the best one. I have a quicksand 2019 Tacoma off-road so I personally love the color. And I think it works perfect with the Rims
Hope Tim picked that color out himself….
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and so is the color combo! It comes handy for the dirt
WOW!! What a great owner and company to work for. The 4Runner looks amazing and the TEAMWORK was unreal. I will support you guys for future mods on my vehicle. 🫡
All around killer transformation, I'm not a fan of the tan, but as long as Tim likes it, who cares.
Besides the green that’s one of the best & rarest colours 🤩
@Jeremie Dupont I would have gone with the green myself.
@@DADVNTRS tan is probably the most used color 😂 very far from rare. After it blew up on tiktok, everyoneeee has been wrapping their cars tan. And i mean everyone! I’ve seen it in thousands of different cars, the color used to be rare.
@@babypinkbean where I’m from in Canada I’ve only seen 1-3 in my whole life but I’m sure down in the Midwest it’s a lot more common
Gran trabajo y me encanto los colores de las ruedas y el equipamiento puesto realmente se pasaron son excelentes!!
Sick build. Definitely better parts on this rig. Big improvement from the FJ build you guys did. MORE TOYOTA BUILDS PLEASE! 🔥🔥🔥
yeah those icon setup isnt cheap
OD green wrap with gold or tan wheels would look so clean on this Rig
You all living our dreams while we can't, more power and blessings towards throtl and fam, dream builds are epic. 🙌
Epic build, I would be in tears with humble joy getting a gift this amazing. God Bless.
yeah the color of the wheels and the wrap clash horribly. if the wheels stayed black or the car color was something more neutral like grey white or black then it would’ve looked so much better
Wow, that is so awesome. Man, you work with a great group of guys. I'm so happy for you.
Love the parts and the build sick to see you give back to the boys and put in work making a friends car even better but the wrap and wheel color is a yikes for me
Yeah, that wrap does not go with the wheel color at all.
the is sick yo flavor on the road dudes
Love the wheels! May have been better to more closely match the vinyl wrap to the green.
Color matching wheels to your cars color is disgusting af though.
What a great build. Good Job Throtl. You guys are awesome for giving back to the employees 👍🏽
I am the owner of the car, Thank you for your comment😎
no winch or super charger?
I have only driven lowered cars for 25 years (even in winter) until now. I recently sold my cars and bought a 2023 Honda Pilot Trailsport, which I kind of want to lower, but a built 4runner is a dream of mine. The only problem is that there are no trails anywhere near my house. I would love to get into off-roading someday.
You guys are amazing. Very professional. I look forward to every episode.
Legit the best episode I’ve watched so far! I love the off-road vehicle content
Amazing episode love how in depth you all went on this one. I think color wise it was a little “different” but if he likes it who cares
If something like this happened to me once 😢
I would cry for days 😂😂😂
He deserved it good job all of you
Rewarding people makes us all happy
I enjoyed watching the whole video.
Thanks for sharing us this celebration ❤❤❤.
There goes the factory warranty 😂
Would've been dope if it was already done before he arrived. Still so cool of you guys to hook him up like that. That's brotherly love right there!
Color is crap.... sorry guys
For me it was the best video about this setup. I’ve been thinking a lot do to it myself. Now I see it easier than I thought
That color….bleh 🤢
The tan color is fine, but they should've blacked out the rims
So glad i watched this amazing video, and the reason behind the build makes it even more worthy!!
Man there are not many business out there anymore that do things like this. You guys are true.
Excellent presentation and explanation of each part through the build. Won me over
I WAS ALSO AN IS GUY THAT GOT A 4RUNNER! Love to see this!
I love that they wrapped the door sills too! Very nice!
Congrats, man! Homies hooked you all the way up. Nice work, fellas!
Damn, man.. It would be hard not to cry if this was done for me. It’s a blessing when your co-workers are genuine homies. Nothing better. 🤙 Sick build. Congratulations on the new rig, Timmy! Go beat the piss out of it!!!!
Love it guys...such an awesome rig!
I had the same, a 2021 4runner trd ORP. Sadly after one year I had to let her go because of thr infamous wheel vibration at 60mph. Even more sad, three different toyota dealerships in my area would not remedy the issue and kept blowing me off. I have to say, this was my favorite rig of all...took a big piece out of me. But I did trade it for a 2019 civic type r that gives me equally a big of a smile.
Love it guys! What a better way to show employee appreciation!
Color looks more peach color than tan. However wow did they do a good job applying it!!! Will have to remember that company. Actually at 37:23 the color looks really good. Probably looks different in person I’m sure. What a build. Super nice.
Nice combo of colour and accesories in that car🎉
Nice job and i will stay tuned to see the next project😇
If you guys lifted the rear more than 2” you need to raise the Track Bar mount on the axle, so it’s close to horizontal
That's a great video. It's really nice to see you guys looking after your employee. Awesome job
It is a dream of mine to own a Toyota 4Runner and become a mechanic and do a build like this for myself with some of my buddies! This build is sick!!!!🎉
God bless this company and its workers. So satisfying watching how you guys giving love to God's children ❤. God will surely bless you and your family 😇
Woooow!!! Amazing work guys. Been watching your work and it's amazing 👏 👍👍
I would give an arm and a leg to have my 2023 trd off road Tacoma built by this team of men … sick 4Runner build !
I think I loved this channel. Love it when you guys explained every tools and things.
I have a 2015 Chevy 1500 LT with the z71 off road package since I need the bed but always wanted a 4 Runner 🔥
The build is awesome. Sending this to my guys so they can do the same thing to mine! Also, really effin cool of you guys to do for you co-worker. Seems like it's a legit family vibe there and I can't say enough about how important that is to a guy like me. Good stuff fellas keep going!
Thats a freaking awesome! I looooove the set up. Keep it up guys godbless you team THROTL.
Greetings from the Dominican Republic, you guys are the best, keep it up.
so nice .definitely the best group..from now now on I am your first filipino fan...yahooooooooo..
The black tan and green theme goes so well together. Tim is super lucky what an amazing team to do this !
Also Tim on that Rubber Ducky, Copy that you sum bish pile o monkey nuts!
That exhaust is crazy. Awesome work
17 years with one of the biggest retailers in the world, and I got a card ‘signed’ by our ceo after 15 years. Lol
