I need the 4runner first😄
It is smiles per gallon. One of my top purchases
I just sold our 2015 4runner, I can honestly say it was the best vehicle we have ever owned .The quality of a Toyota is something I will really miss. I had to buy a F250 to pull a large travel trailer.
You can always go back to a tundra just as sturdy if not more
NNNNOOOOOOOOO! Hope you got the F250 Diesel.
Jon, Finally bought a 4Runner this week because of your channel! 2019 TRD Pro. Thank you so much for producing theses videos! Now I need to go back and watch them again to start thinking about upgrades!
For the pedal commander, when you go into 4-low also put the pedal commander into economy mode. This helps greatly with the lesser throttle response needed in 4-low.
Cool thank you, waiting to pick up my 2022 4runner off road edition, hopefully in February. Great mods.
Thank you so much! I have been looking for a cargo liner that works with the cargo tray for weeks! I just got my 4Runner so that was my very first purchase. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Lol "Super spectacle" @ 5:05 . I think you mean skeptical :) Great stuff John! Excellent content as always
Yes! Thank you!
Oh yes, like the upgrades. Thanks for the vid!
No problem 👍
Looking to replace my '07 4Runner and I really, really like this blue!!! Great vid, thanks!
Good choice!
My husky LOVES my 4Runner. Shepherd could care less about having a rear window but the big happy hairy monster loves looking at the drivers behind me. I get a kick out of peoples reaction when he wakes up from a nap, pops his head up, and checks out who is following me. Though I have to bring the window up a pretty good bit because he likes to hang out the back and you know huskies aren't the best at taking orders.
Good to see a familiar face on UA-cam! Just got my 4Runner, can't wait to mod it. Greetings from Vista CA
Heck yea man!!! Congrats!!
Sup man Im from vista too
That’s where I grew up! Crazy!
I don't know. According to UA-cam, I thought the first 5 mods were supposed to be:
1.) Custom long travel suspension
2.) 33" mud terrains
3.) Steel front and rear bumpers
4.) Rear drawer system including 12V refrigerator
5.) Magnsuon supercharger, cause for some reason your 4Runner feels "underpowered"
The Instagram 101 4runner fame
the 4Runner is a total dog, it 100% should come with a V8 and not this pathetic excuse for an engine. I love mine with the exception of the doggy engine.
Also a roof tent
I originated from 190HP 4runner, still have this beast. The 270hp 5th that i also have now is an upgrade, idk what “underpowered” everyone is talking about lol
@@nathansargent8513completely disagree as someone who just bought a 23. The engine moves this thing just fine! Coming from a VW GTI that was fast too…To each their own but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that it feels totally powerful enough
Your 4Runner is nice man! Love the mods worth every penny
Just bought a 2015 4Runner Trail with 200k miles, runs great *knock on wood*. First purchase was a center console insert safe. Bolts right in there, and is a fantastic addition if you travel with cash or carry a gun and can't go into the bank or Post Office while carrying; just lock it up with any other valuables, nice and secure.
2 years ago you bought the truck? How’s it running now and how many miles have you put on it?
I just purchased a 2014 with 100k
Just got done with the $25 LED interior lighting kit from Amazon. Holy crap what a difference! The trunk lights are amazing for getting stuff in and out when it's dark out.
Such a difference!
Good stuff as always my man!
Thanks mann
The remote starter you recommended is another great addition. Especially for those living in cold climates.
Heck ya!! You are welcome! Love it
Thanks for the mod suggestions. I’m looking for a green or sand runner for off-roading. These 4Runners are great. Currently have a 3rd gen with 57k sandune. Love it off-road. Subscribing to this channel, always good info and updates.
Woohooo. Just got 20 TRD ORP. Couldn’t be happier
Great choice!
Congratulations!!
Full interior LED was the first thing I did to my '18. Especially useful for the hatch lights in my opinion. I do a lot of backpacking and would sometimes come home after sundown and have to remove various things from my hatch/trunk. The halogens are decent, but they also just seem dated. LED really lights up everything so well.
I just wish my model came with LED headlights since apparently doing a simple bulb swap isn't ideal because the light housings are essentially tuned for the factory halogens. Could retrofit a newer model LED housing to my '18, but then it gets exponentially more pricey to go the OEM route.
I just bought my 2016 4runner SR5 2nd hand 90k miles.. I love it.. its still stock
Just switched to a 4runner from an Audi Q7. So excited!
Heck ya!!!
You gotta do a video dude
I just got a 2021 4Runner . Finally I’m in the club with my 2021 trd offroad xp gunner package
yea, when i get my trd pro gonna put a few mods for annoying stuff like the remote start to not shut off when opening door, the rear tail hitch is very useful, especially in my city, nyc, and some protection for the front bumper, and maybe that accelerate boost system and i saw u installed in a previous vid. still driving my 2013 higlander limited, gonna wait a yr or 2 to buy my trd pro
I need to do the LED swap on all the lights. Its cool you mentioned the roof rack. That's the same one I got. Just did a video over it too. Been watching your channel for a while now. Cool to see how the 4runner has come along. Keep it up man!
I will check it out! Just subscribed! Keep it up man!
@@TRDJon awesome!! I appreciate the support!
Always!
luv ur vids, i kno ur on point with the trd models, any news on the 2021 4runner trd pro? any new features/updates?
Thanks! None yet unfortunately
Ditch light brackets along with LED pod lights of your choice, wired into one of the switch blanks.
Don’t forget to tint your windshield ! That’s must it cuts the heat out . I think it’s 70 percent or lighter.
Check your state laws first. My state you can’t tint windshield
I bought my 2022 new, dropped it off at the local off road shop. 6" fox suspension lift, 22s wrapped in 33's, malone roof rack. Then left and went to the local audio and tint store to have the windows blacked out with diamond audio and 2 12s. Ended up with a pretty nice rig. Hope it last like my 07 4 runner I had before it.
How’s that 6” lift turned out for ya?
I agree on all of those. Nice!
Thanks! Effective mods for sure
Great vid. Question. I have a 2021 limited shade. I’m having issues with space for little things like say a wallet and larger iPhone. My biggest complaints about this vehicle so far is that 1) no place to things like keys, wallet, and phone without taking up a cup holder which often is occupied by a coffee. Keys slide around whether you put them in the door, or in front of the console. 2) WAY under powered. For the fuel economy this thing gets, I would expect hat v6 to be putting more hp and torque to the wheels. Suggestions on storage options beside what you shown in the video? Thank you.
Just picked up a used 2021 Offroad Premium with 6" lift, 35s and Warn winch. Also came with Banks Pedal Monster. After researching that, as well as the Pedal Commander, I would highly rec the Banks for multiple reasons. But thanks for the great tips, I have some of those done already, but def ordering the interior lights and LED high beam!
Thanks! I'd recommend the Shiftpower now over Pedal Commander too.
1. Falken Wildpeaks AT3
2. LED headlights & driving lights
3. AFe drop in air filter
4. Polish and seal paint
5. Husky floor mats
Did LED interior lights and ShiftPower USA throttle response today. Very Happy with these as a start.
Appreciate the video.
Better Tires, snatch strap, tow strap, shackles, hi-lift, hand held radios. Everything else is cool stuff to add. That canvas back is super key, i did the whole cargo area (sides, seat back , floor and tailgate). A upper tray for center storage was a huge help with storage area to keep smaller items easier to get. eBay has tons of version.
Yes!! Hand held radios!
@@TRDJonwhat about tires and suspension? Have a stock 2017 SR5. Thanks and great video
What shackles did you put on front size and brand ? Is powder coating on them holding up ?
So far Top 5
1. Counsel Tray
2. Glove Box Divider
3. Para cord grap handles that go on head rests for back seat passengers.
4. Greenlane Rock Sliders.
5. Trailer Hitch and Ball to tow boat.
I did the whole led interior lights and headlights.
Huge difference
What brand led’s?
Great video! But I have to warn you about your front red recovery rings...where you have them attached are actually lash down points for when they came over on the seagoing auto carrier ships and on auto flat beds, so the 4Runner doesn't shift while in transit. I"ve seen some really bad front end damage from using those stock lash down points...when over-stressed. Everyone does it and it can be a very costly mistake! Please keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Wrong....That is the actual recovery ring...Which is where you are suppose to recover a vehicle from. They are made to break...SOOOOOOO you don't damage the vehicle.
@@statintl Wrong! They're considered emergency towing points(not as snatch points or get my truck out of the mud points), tie-downs, and for transport hooks. Just because they have a nut and it's also welded doesn't make it a recovery point. They're meant to handle the shifting weight, while tied down on a ship at a 45-60 degree angle from the deck eyelets, with either chains or cloth straps. The same goes for road transporting, either from the harbor to the dealer or on a towing flatbed.
@@TeamDoc312 you’re exactly correct.
@@TeamDoc312 ii
It's funny I was just looking through your videos for an update on the canvas back liners to comment to see how you like them and what's your update. And the newest video is talking about them.
Great minds think alight!
Totally agree with all of those 5, also an honorable mention for a glove box divider/organizer. Helps keep stuff organized and keeps my dash cam battery nicely separated from my owner's manual and other stuff
I need to pick me up one.
Definitely comes in handy, only an issue when replacing the cabin filter
Rock sliders!! Even if you never off-road. They can shield your 4Runner from parking lot door dings, and they can save you or your passenger’s life if you are T-boned hard by someone. They can also act as steppers, although they won’t be as good in that function as running boards would be (running boards are specifically for steppers, so they’re positioned better/lower for that function…but rock sliders are still ok as steppers).
Hey! love your content. Question about the carbon trim - are those carbon panels or just fake carbon overlays?
On the center console? it comes with the vehicle. As for the steering wheel, that was tufskinz
Very helpful 👍🏽 great video.
Glad it was helpful!
I just got a 2012 4Runner sr5 I’m bout to go crazy on this thing
Congrats !
Hey! Thanks for this video! What year is your 4 Runner & what is that color?! I can't find it anywhere! I'm assuming it's a Trail Edition because of the black emblem. Also, great suggestion on the roof rack. Which one are you using?
2018 TRD Pro Cavalry Blue
i couldn't agree more with your choices. i have been looking for a brush guard. i love the big off road bumpers but i can't bring myself to cut my front end lol so i would probably have to get a professional to install it. i also might go the bull bar route because of the price and easy installation. what are your thoughts jon?
Personally I’ve never been a fan of bull bars, however there are some for the 4Runner that look good. The only off road bumper I will consider is a slimline one. But again..that’s cutting the bumper.
That center console comes completely open so you can keep your piece there. Toyota even has a locking inner lid that turns it into a gun safe.
My 1911 fits great
Because everyone has a ccw lol
@@roberthughes2687 smart people do lol
@@pizzasmithdude unless you are in California. In some areas you had no option
@@roberthughes2687CCW? Hahaha! Not needed.
Just got me a venture series,first time 4runner owner. Great car definitely miss the mpg on my old sedan though lol. First item I'm getting is a clear bra to s ave my hood then undercarriage rust protection (northern va weather). That tray on the center console is awesome and the tow hitch! Where did you get those and the led headlights and fog lights? Thanks!
Right on! Congratulations !!
I bought the bigger extended battery tray and installed a 27F size battery. It’s a relative cheap mod.
This was a helpful video. I don't have a 4runner yet but I want one lol. I have an Evo X and a 335xi BMW
2023 4Runner TRD Pro, first few mods have been rock sliders, cat shields and raptor lights. Not planning anything extreme, just soft roading. But recovery gear and tint are on the list to do.
Just realized this video is 3 years old
1. Tint
2. Roof rack
3. Lift
4. Tires
5. Winch
Now you look like every other 4Runner :D
Lol 😂 yes. Rack = Gobi
i feel personally attacked lol
And It's All Good Bro.
Many People Wished They Had A 4 Runner Like Mine.
😂
Hey the look is awesome!
Awesome video! I’m getting so close for it to be my time to get a 4Runner ahhhh so excited! Your videos are great love all the info from you. I wanted to ask if you have a video about your roof rack I would want something covering most the roof if not the hole thing and also is the rack you have there good for a roof top tent 🏕 I’m looking to get a CVT 3+ tent so pretty big and me and my man well we’re husy people lol 😆 I need a strong rack that can hold a big tent and too big asses 🤣 and a little dog! Adventures await 💨💨💨
Yep! Just search my channel for the LFD roof rack. I love their product!!
@@TRDJon Can you attach a Thule cargo box to your roof rack?
Blue TRD Jon
Awesome thanks🙏🏼
Yep!
Ehhhhh, different strokes for different folks I guess. The 1st few mods I did was lift, tires, sliders, recovery gear and manual winch for when I'm out wheeling alone. But, like I said, everyone does different stuff for what they like to do. At the end of the day thou, it's a 4runner and they will go basically anywhere. 👍👍
2015 sr5 btw.
Exactly multi purpose rig for sure!!
Just got a old 4runmer Limited(new to me so I'm excited) was already thinking if doing some of those mods so you videos really helped. As far as the interior light change would it be the same on a 5th gen limited?
Yes it should be
Just got a 2021 4Runner trd pro lunar rock!!!
Thank you for this recommendation, can you please recommend 2018 Trd pro cooled seat?
I just special ordered the 2021 TRD PRO in Lunar Rock. They said it would take 3 months to get it. I am ordering a tray and Canvasback and a Gobi ladder. This is my first truck, but I just loved the color. Wish me luck. Take care.
Best of luck!! The new color will be announced next month so hopefully you like the lunar rock
I've had one of my Yorkim bulbs go out on me. Not too big of a deal, as I had spares, since they were so cheap to buy. Other than that they have been good, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
Great to hear!
Sweet runner love the color. What roof rack is that? Looks really good.
LFD Offroad 7/8
@@TRDJon nice thanks for the reply 😊
I love my 4 runner I got one in cement grey
Thanks for the video! What is that thin roof rack you have on your 4Runner?
LFD Off Road
Thank you for all the mods they are super helpful! My only question is what did you do to the 4runner that you noticed a vast difference for gas mileage? Mine is stock and I'm averaging 16mpg.
Katina Swanson my 05 4x4 stock got 19 mpg, after mods it’s at 16. My 2010 got 18 mpg, it’s kinda funny.
19 TRD ORP, W/ stock Duelers and later w/ Falken Wilpeaks - 17.5 MPG, mostly city. 16 for stock seems low. Heavy foot?
- I got a SR5 P in '19, once I'm done with Toyota Care, I'll be putting in a K&N air filter. They gave been in my other two cars since '08 and it add a few mpg's. It's roughly $50 depending on the site, it's a lifetime product, and you clean it every 50k miles with a $12 kit. Highly recommend it.
I'd also recommend trying to reset your mpg screen too. Yours sounds low, it might show a bit higher. Mine is 18+. Good luck.
Honestly just drive it. I have been good at being easy on the throttle. Also FL is stupid flat so that may help my cause.
Got bigger tires and mileage took a hit. Its worth it. Having mine leveled with bigger tires is worth the slight difference.
Waiting now on my 2024 TRD Pro! (probably summer)
Hey, Jon. I’m a fellow Florida resident planning on getting my first 4Runner (when the car craziness calms down). What are your thoughts on the sliding rear cargo deck? Worth getting? I see that you have one. Would you get it again?
Pretty much useless & traps debris underneath
Hey man, just checking on the Pedal Commander, do you stilm use it? I went for the Banks Power Pedal Monster, same price and super good throttle response. I would assume the same performance as a Pedal Commander but with fail safes, under 10mph shutoff and reverse shutoff. Nice video man.
It was good! I’ve switched to the ShiftPower USA. No issues either
Very helpful well made video sir
Thanks and welcome
Just took delivery yesterday in my very first 4Runner. Got the TRD off-road premium. Glad to have found your channel and some of these mods. Headed to go check out your roof rack system video
Welcome aboard! Congratulations on the new runner!!!
@@TRDJon Do you have a specific video dealing with your roof rack set up? I really like how low profile it looks
Yep! I have multiple of it actually. Just look up LFD TRD Jon and it should pop up.
Congrats. I have 19 premium. Im sure youre loving it!! You have now entered the Mod Zone. Its really fun to make it your own 4runner.
Hey Brother! I'm thinking about buying the TRD matte black wheels for my 2021 SR5 Premium. What is the offset for those wheels?
Hey do you have any links to some mud flap upgrades? I got some wider tires on my TRD off road and the stock flaps aren't cutting it.
I was wondering, I plan to install a front and rearview camera. Could I replace the rear camera with the backup camera? If not. I'll attach to ceiling next to rear window. I just concerned of my dog hitting it.
Funny you mention the canvasback I was looking to buy something for the back. Any ideas on what to use to keep things from sliding all around the back area? I have a chair for the beach and all I hear is that thing sliding around everywhere.
Maybe a rubber floor mat would work best for that
What's your thought on the magnuson supercharger yea or nay?
The center console organizer is legit the cheapest and best mod. I paid $13 for mine.
100%
Great share! Quick question ... what PSI do you recommend that I run my KO2 265 tires at? can I air them down for off-road (if so), to what PSI? Many Thanks!
Not sure, whatever they recommend you run it at. Every tire/ply is different. As for off road, i'd do it based on the terrain. Not that low though and only air down if needed.
Thank you! The dealership, over the phone, said 50+ psi for the KO2 265 and that sounded way too high to me when people say they air down to mid 20's from high 30's on many postings. I think the guy is wrong, but that is why I reached out to people that know the tire.
Ok, it looks like we are on the same path! Ceramic tint, - have people simply put their hand on the inside of the window and feel of it. Soooo Cool. All the little interior LED's and the center console organizer. You give some very good advice! I will try the your canvas cover suggestion for my rear cargo area. It seems like a good idea. Also, we all could use REAL Tire Monitoring pressure on all five tires, NOT just a blinking light when 1 out of the 4 tires is low! Toyota, - stop CHEAPING out on your fans.
Not sure what year you have, but I have a 2020 TRD 4Runner and I have live tire pressure monitoring.
2020 was the first year for it
The items that you are referring to as D rings are called shackles. If you are looking for them to purchase them, that is how to ask or search for them.
I have a stock 2020 trd pro. If you had to pick between the pedal commander or a cold air intake what would you pick? Both are in same price range
Probably the pedal commander and throw a trd air filter in. But having both is really nice.
Very beautiful mad car. How is it for familiy? Its comfortable onroad?
Beautiful truck bro
Thanks 👍
Any recommendations for black plastic/vinyl/rubber fender flares that are no bushwhackers (no visible screws or nuts)?
Hi Jon is it possible you could show how to replace a right front door actuator on. 2017 4Runner limited please . Thank you much appreciated
As a 4Runner owner with 5% window tint, it’s amazing except when you need to drive at night
Horrible at night. Facts
What roof rack is that at the end? Looks perfect for packing my camping supplies
LFD 7/8 aluminum
Wondering what is the name of the color of your 4runner. love it !
Cavalry Blue 👍🏼
Start from the ground and go up. Tires and suspension. Sliders/steps and tint. Roof rack and internals, etc...
I need some advice, I’m stuck between getting a Tacoma and a 4Runner, I enjoy hiking, biking and going on road trips , the biggest deciding factor for me is interior space and cargo room, just thought I’d ask someone and get there thoughts from it, just been having some trouble deciding what will be best for me, also just fyi I am a 19 year old , so I don’t have any kids to hall around I’d just be halling friends as well as a bicycle and everything else id need to hike and go on long road trips and etc.
Here from Australia just subscribers your Chanel, although we don’t have 4Runner in aus.
Still appreciate it!
Hi John I can’t decide between the Tacoma OR or the 4Runner OR how do you like your 4Runner? The Tacoma has better mpg but the 4Runner is made in Japan kinda hard to choose
To me, that always come down to if you need a truck or an suv. If you don't neeeeed a truck i'd say 4R
Where did you purchase the interior LED lights?
Will the pedal commander void warranty? Will toyota be able to tell it was used once removed?
I have a 2011 4runner limited and I'll drive it into the ground before I even consider selling it. It has one hundred and eighteen thousand miles and it still runs as good as new. Of course I service all the needs before it's too late. The suspension mine has as of 2014 it's no longer available which is a downfall for the truck.
I'll never get a pedal commander for I'm not in a hurry to get to wherever I'm going. I tend to enjoy the ride getting to my destination. The 4runner will still get you up to speed on the highway.
I went to their website and watched their installation video for the 4Runner and they meant to say "harness" but the video said "harnest" that plus you have to run it inline from your PCM to the OBDII. One thing I know not to do to a modern car is have an aftermarket module sit in between those connectors
Just got my 4Runner! Super excited but trying to figure out what winters I need? In Calgary, CAN it feels like it's winter for 6 months out of the year with crazy amount of snow. Any suggestions?
No idea. I live in FL and hate the snow haha
Danielle get studded dedicated snow tires if you can like Hakkapelittas or other studded dedicated snow tires.
All terrains like Duratracs are beasts in loose snow but turn to hockey pucks on ice and packed snow. I also tried the Toyo Gsi-5 and they were same.
You will have to change your driving habits and adapt accordingly because the 4runner in the winter can boost your confidence a little too much.
@@Mamba4runner Agreed, Dedicated winter studded hakkas on mine. All terrain or muds are a death trap up here in winter no matter their bullshit winter rating. I found sand bags are needed in the rear in winter as well.
I'd say my first "accessory" is always getting a registration certificate and license plate. ;) Followed by tinted windows, lol.
Unnecessary
Hey I really like the grey badges on the back, where are those from?
You can order them from the dealership.
hi - where did u get that roof rack from? i heard house renovation so now i must have it. Thank you.
LFD off road
Great video. It is not UV light which heats up, it is IR light. UV light will dammage plastics and leather. Thus alawys use some 303 protectant
