How bout that intro?! I really liked how it turned out.
Not needed and 1.5 minutes of our time wasted, get to the point of the video. Stop acting like your a cable channel show.
@@UncleFjester lame.
Intro was sick, keep the content coming!
@@iantaylor5456 now that’s what I’m talking about hahaha
Sweet intro but a bit lengthy.
The platform for Otis is my favorite part of the video. Clever!
Best 4Runner build I’ve seen yet
We use to pull 22,000 lbs tables when we would pour hotel slabs in with these winches and we’d burn them out after 7-10 pulls which was impressive
Crushing it with the content-Solid build-Legit Soundtrack!! Great job
Thanks! Much appreciated!
AMIGO..!!!! Awesome Rig.!!! All those Mods are very cool. 😊
It's pretty funny seeing your rig with that little Subaru in the background. :)
Haha they are very different. The height differences are funny. He also gets twice the MPG I do lol.
Best 4 runner channel by far
Dang, thanks so much!
I wanna break my lease and buy out my 4runner early so I can slap on some thicc tires and a lift kit soooooo badddd. Love your setup bro, your channel is a goldmine
Awesome cinematic intro 🎬 with slow pans and great use of lighting, color, and reflection. Epic music in sync. That takes a ton of work.
Love the C4 bumper and sliders. Those are on my wish list! Good use of space in the back, I think I might do the same! Love the build, especially the lighting / electrical work.
Lots to think about here… Thanks for making this video!
Thanks! Yeah, C4 makes some really clean but bulletproof armor. The storage in the back is awesome because you get your trunk back for running around town or hitting the hardware store.
Last week, were you in San Pedro California. I saw a rig like yours at Brouwerij west and was so impressed I looked online and found your channel. Super cool channel. Keep up the awesome content.
Dang, thanks! I wish! Just been in Minnesota...
Great video, thank you so much. I also subbed.
I love your build!
Thanks!
Sweet setup! Hi five!
Dope rig boss!
Awesome video
Sick rig! Your GTR headlights would go really well with the Gen 2 Morimoto tail lights. That way you can match those cool strips in your headlight DRLs with the new Morimoto's three rows of LEDs. I have 1st Gen Morimotos front and rear, but if they go out, I may try that other combo.
Nice rig man!
Thanks!
I got same build👍🏻 i love this 5th gen
C4 stubby bumper (winch and integrated light bar), viper cuts, after market fog lights, A-pillars lights and overhead lights with the true 33s is not only good looking but very practical setup. You nailed the front setup, bro. C4 or CBI rear swing outs with panel guard with spare, maxtrax, roto-pax mount, reverse led lights is best setup for 4runner rear bumper from 2014 to current in my opinion.
Yeah I agree! I am trying to be as armored and as light as I can be haha.
@@OverlandEngineer in that case go full alu, bro😃
OE, recall a few videos back a guy commented that due to your engine bay not being clean, he would no longer support your channel? I think it was Mitch 😂😂😂 Great content brother!
Sweet rig for sure. I'm considering the C4 sliders. Now that they've been on there for a while, how is the powder coating on them holding up?
Love how far the build has come. Have found your videos really useful since day one. What dobinson rear spring are you running? 677?
Thanks! The springs are the C59-701Vs. I could have sworn these were 600-800lb springs...oops. Website says 400-600 lbs.
Oh so that's YOUR 4runner on the 4runnerlifestyle page...aayyee
Haha yep!
this is what I aspire my 23 4runner trd pro to be
Heck yeah!

What wheels are those? They look so good
nice 4runner
Very nice, Zach! Have you had any issues with water intrusion with the aftermarket head/taillight units? Do you know which units are best to avoid because of that problem? Thanks.
No water intrusion issues. I’ve heard that most brands that are on the cheap side can be taken apart and new water sealing added and they are almost good as new and high quality. I’ve heard a lot of people do that. As far as specific brands, I don’t really know ones that always fail but I know Alpharex, GTR, and Morimoto make good products.
I live in mn! Do you bring it to shows? Would love to check out your build to get ideas for mine
How did you get the wires from the light bar to mount under the windshield?
do you have a video on wiring ditch lights?
Looks great man. Legitimate question…what kind of mpg’s are you getting? I see you use this as your daily driver
Love the content man! I watched your other video on the SPC upper control arm, I want to run the same tire size as you with a 3in lift. What caster setting should I do? Also do you think I could get a way with not getting a BMC right away with 285/75/r17?
The only tire I have seen survive without a BMC is a 285/70/17 with a zero offset rim. If I had to bet, you will rub on and offroad without a BMC. As for caster, the more the better to fit tires but there is only so much your lowers can adjust to so if the shop knows what they are doing, then can max out your lower control arms then dial it in from there is the SPCs.
Nice Intro!
Thanks!!
Sick build! How do you like 315s considering you said you drive a lot? I'm mil too (AF)
Nice ride man! I got the daytona floor jack after watching your video, thank you! I might have missed it but why did you switch from the Yokohama Geolandar 003?
No particular reason. I thought they were quite good in the snow but I wanted the best. I also just test different tires and sizes a lot for the sake of research haha.
So sick. I’m a fellow MN with a 2019 TRD Off-road. Hopefully we cross paths up north sometime
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
where do you put all your stuff when sleeping?
Any anti corrosion body treatment?
Where do you drive off road in Minnesota? I know about Appleton but I don’t really want to drive around a park like that.
Do you regret not buying more amber?
what condition is your frame in?
Diggin where the rig is now. For the beadlocks, did you have them balanced after installing the wheels and beadlocks?
Thanks! Yep! Just had them all put together then took them in. It's just important that you install the TPMS beforehand because often tire shops just do that for you silently and its something that will slip your mind haha.
how's the MPG on that daily driver?
Such a clean setup! Question How do you carry a spare tire? Or do u not Carry one?
Thanks! I typically do, strapped in the trunk. This trip I couldn’t with my wife and Otis along and I knew the trails were easy enough. I have plans to keep it on a spare tire mount on the back of the rig.
Did you say you have Dino’s lights?
What's the intro music?
How have the spacers held out? I’ve debating on getting them because some say good and some say bad things about them. What has been your experience?
Worked flawlessly! I even bought mine used. The Spidertrax 1.25" spacers have been perfectly fine. Secret sauce is plenty of red loctite.
What’s your favorite mounting systems/hardware for the Kammok awning? In this video you have a Sherpa mount (which one?). Is that the mount you liked the best or did you find something you like better?
Nice video. Curious if you have re-geared and are you using Rago Molle panels and shelf? Thanks.
Hoping to regear soon but no I am not. The 34s have been surprisingly great and almost no different than 33s. I went from heavy Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws to light Toyo AT3s. My rear panels and shelf are from Finn Fab because I like the rivnut mounting interface more and the blueseas power panel integration. I have a video coming out on the whole system in the near future! I still have a bit of wiring to finish.
@@OverlandEngineer I'm thinking about going the same route - currently on Load E 33 Wildpeaks - have you noticed any difference in ride comfort with the AT3s? What about grip on/off road and wet traction? I am very happy with the wildpeaks other than how heavy they are but not many people have used both.
Do u feel the gloss gun metal would look good on the black I can’t make up my mind same truck as ur can decide bronze or gloss gun metal
Potentially! I bet it would be like flipping magnetic gray and black. A lot of guys have the dark gray 4Runners with black accents. I'm guessing that is the look.
You should try modding your rig. Why keep it stock? 😜
Hey! @overland engineer, do you ever use your luno setup under the ragu shelf you have? If so, does it fit alright?
Technically I have the full finn fab system but to answer your question, yep! The mattress easily fits. You have more than enough room under the shelf, its a bit of an optical allusion which is why I originally did not want a shelf but now I won't go back.
Thanks for the response! Gonna try and build something similar in my rig!
Love your setup! Just wondering what your ground to fender measurements are in the fronts and rear
I'll try to snag them tomorrow. If you are on instagram, shoot me a DM. Since I have some gnarly rake, my rear is going to be quite tall...
14:19 is exhibit A if you look at the spacing between my rear tire and fender hahah
Curious about this too. You said 4” and 6” of lift, did you mean 4” and 6” taller from ground to fender?
@@greyhounds72 I'm just measuring changes due to the fenders so I suppose thats ground to fender or top of wheel to fender. Its not a ground clearance measurement. I will post my breakdown photo on my IG story and happy to answer questions or get corrected.
Dude! This truck is excellent! I’m debating whether or not I should trade in my Rubicon gladiator for a GX 460. It would be for my wife, but of course I would have to slightly modify it.
Haha thanks, always have to mod the wife's vehicle a little.
@@OverlandEngineer already lifted her outback. Lol.
@@mcwendel8066 Hahaha awesome.
Funny no matter what trim 4Runner they all have the same approach and departure angle even the limited which I love because of its full time 4wd.
You sure...stock limited bumpers definitely stick out farther and have a worse angle but you can just cut them off and bolt on a different bumper for the same angle. Is that what you are referring to?
@@OverlandEngineer I was saying all 4Runner models in stock form from Toyota even the limited model which seems to have a lower front bumper all have the same approach angle of 33/26 departure. I just wish their “off-road model” or 4wd models came with high clearance front and rear bumpers
As someone who is relatively new to owning a 4Runner and wanting to modify and off-road/overland. Why would you want adjustable sway bar links?
Legitimate question. Basically its to correct your OEM sway bar geometry. Typically people lift their rig which pushes the UCA and LCA down. This in turn moves the entire spindle/hub down which moves the sway bar link mounting point down. However, the sway bar bracket location on the frame never moved...Dobinsons sells sway bar bracket spacers to keep the same sway bar links originally but if you wanted to get adjustable ones, they would essentially do the same thing. They may provide more customization though depending on your lift and potentially the mismatch of a desired lift height and the standard manufactured spacers out there. Does that answer your question? Thats for the front. The rear is for the most part similar logic, however the lift pulls the sway bar farther away because it mounts to the solid axle so the links typically just need to be longer.
Where is the link to purchase those wire hiders that connects from ur roof rack led light bar without drilling holes into ur suv?
amzn.to/3ThtGbe
Thanks
Awesome rig. Curious what rear hatch struts did you go with for the ladder? Also, curious how's it run on 34's, assuming no gear swap yet? or maybe not needed?
If you go to the description of my summit ladder video (linked in description) I have the struts linked there. Running the Toyo AT3 34s was basically identical to Falken WildPeak 33s due to the weight savings. Since I have the beadlocks too, the wider look of the 285s is awesome. I love having the bigger tire. No regear but with my throttle grenade the 4Runner is still plenty fast.
@@OverlandEngineer awesomeeee, thanks for the quick response! Love the build. especially your center console, that oem look with the switches and plug for your radio was pretty rad.
@@JonnieF14 thanks! Yeah that project was so over the top and they haven’t even been hooked up yet 😂. I did a video on it if you want to emulate it!
@@OverlandEngineer Think I might do tbh, feels like wasted space there.
@@JonnieF14 do it! I’d recommend doing quick connectors for the switches haha. Soldering them on is super secure but not as modular
hi...I just wanna know if you upgraded your stock needle bearing on your driver side cv axle...
I have not but so many people talk about needing to do this.
do you plan to do in the future specifically you lift and put 35s on your rig
How do you fit a spare underneath?
Only 285/70/17 will fit. I didn’t have a spare along with these 285/75/17s, just a tire repair kit.
What suspension setup do you use ?
Dobinsons MRR, I've got a couple videos linked in the description on it.
How do you keep your setup rust free??
@@PAWulf6 The key is I don't hahaha. I really want to find someone who has a lift and heated shop this winter and hit everything I can with a wire wheel and use some paint on unbody paint and rust neutralizer. I saw it on an XOverland episode for their third gen and it looks more effective than wool wax and won't make it annoying to wrench.
Are you at all concerned that in the event of a crash your fire extinguisher or socket set will come flying forward and hit you in the back of the head?
Valid point. There are lots of things in my car at any given time that could do something like that though. My YETI water bottle is a great contender. If you were worried, you could fasten it down better.
@@OverlandEngineer Yeah, I just bring it up because I see a lot of videos where people are mounting or carrying things in the back of their rigs with little or no regard for crash safety. Just a thought
Those do not look like 285/75/17s in your video. Did you change them to a 35??
That's the best part of the RRW beadlock rims. I promise they are 285/75/17s but they look much wider and beefy. Best of both worlds if you are not regeared.
@@OverlandEngineer appreciate the reply. I have the RR7 but run the tires as a regular fitment. So IF i beadlock them, they'll look beefy like yours??!!
What is your offset btw?
@H Haha, it's that easy!😂. Yeah I presume it probably adds a 10-20 mm width bump on the wheel. I noticed it because I have a friend with a tacoma with the identical wheel and we parked next to each other one day and looking head on it was clearly wider. They may be slightly short because they are pulled wider but that doesn't bother me too much.
@@user-zv5zl2sv5g zero offset rim with a 1.25" spidertrax spacer (-32mm equivalent)
Pocket change money
The tallest rear Dobinson’s springs are 3” of lift… you can’t have 6” of pure suspension lift.
Yep you can. If you go on their website you can get up to a 3.5" MRR lift. If you have really heavy duty springs they don't compress as far as the "expected ride height and lift" numbers on the dobinsons website. My rear tire to panel gap is 10". I will post a picture on my IG of the breakdown.
@@OverlandEngineer What’s your center hub to fender? Tire to fender isn’t a useful measurement when everyone has different tires.
@@greyhounds72 Yeah that is true. My front axle to fender measurement is 24.4" and my rear is 26.4". To be fair though, everyone has 285/70/17s haha. I know there are small variations and what not but most people don't dimensions nit pick so overall it good enough.
@@OverlandEngineer yeah so stock is 20” front hub to fender and 22” rear hub to fender. Based on your IG post your stock hub to fender was 21.8” which is right in line with that. So 26.4” - 21.8” = 4.6”. Makes sense if you have the heaviest spring without the weight back there. But measuring hub to fender is basically the only way to isolate true lift height from the coils alone.
@@greyhounds72 Currently I have springs in the front rated for 220-300 lbs and currently have (59(winch)+75(lopro)+5(lightbar)+11lbs (random electronics) + 20 (ARB compressor)) = 170 lbs. In the rear I have 600-800 lb springs and probably like 200lbs if that. Its not too surprising that my MRR kit tuned for 3.5" lift front and rear would be taller than that based on the weight ratings of the springs and my actual loads.
Why did you go with a 4Runner then a Jeep
That is a really bad location for the radio antenna. You will not get a good ground plain as if you would if it was mounted on the roof rack.
Just FYI, before I was a lineman I was a mechanic. If electrical goes wrong in your car, all that wiring that is everywhere going to all your lights and refrigerators and air tanks is a huge problem. Mechanics hate those. Diagnosis with electrical becomes 1000x more complicated with all that stuff. The worst problems we have discovered are because of them.
Good this you’re not a mechanic anymore
@@excers405 that was a dumb reply.
Only bad mechanics say this . They aren’t on the computer for codes so you won’t get them coming up .
Sad my wife won't let me spend 100k on a truck lol 🤣
My wife doesn't let me either haha. I've fallen victim to that scam where I ordered parts for our house and they arrived as car parts...
You must have at least $20k of add ons
Awesome truck! I think you meant “off-roading” as opposed “over landing”. The 4 Runner is a great off road vehicle but hardly capable of true over landing with a range of about 150-200 miles (overland range). Compared to a true overlander (LC Prado; Toyota HiLux) which has 400-500 mile range. A big fuel tank (30 gal) and turbo-diesel 4 cylinder makes a big difference. Still, a very nice truck for a weekend trip to the mountains. Just not over landing!
Thanks! No, I meant overlanding...offroading and overlanding are both very vague terms. At this point you have to use overlanding as a keyword because its what most people are familiar with or its what they search even if they aren't technically overlanding. Who even knows what overlanding is...many people define it differently.
I'm on 35s and regeared now getting about 12 miles per gallon. Typically see like 18-19 gallons to E so thats about 210 ish miles. Long range america sells an auxiliary tank to add an additional 24 gallons. So thats like 290 miles. Basically gets the rig up to 500 miles. Plus I have many friends getting 14-16 with 33" setups and that would be 580-660 ish miles.
We don't have Prados and Hiluxes or deisels in america so the 4Runner and Tacoma are the best we got and with a few select mods people can get the same performance in my mind. (I wish we could get the diesels!)
5:16 wish all lifted truck drivers cared about other drivers eyes.
Get rid of the overpriced on air systems and get a PowerTank. One minute per tire and I'm done. I would never go back to any type of Compressor system.
Says he overlands, has pretty much nothing geared for overlanding.
It’s a nice truck, I just fail to see what it provides as far as livability off grid.
Maybe I should become a UA-camr…
Everything on my rig is function first. Idiot proof (kiss) and build to last.
You'll got a lot of time on your hands
Quite the contrary haha.
