Man that slow-mo comparison between the stock and Eibach suspensions was especially slick. Nice touch. Looking forward to this build!
It visualizes the dramatic improvement in damping, underlining their reaction. And because they are sponsored, it adds dividents to their credibility. So yeah, great shots!
It was very eye opening
To be fair, those stock weren’t new.
How would the Eibachs compare with the KYB and Bilstein dampers?
I'm upgrading to polyurethane bushings, stainless brake lines with Redline DOT4 full synthetic brake fluid.
Then EBC USR Rotors and YellowStuff Brake pads on a 2017 Camry V6 XSE.
There’s something about peace of mind that no luxury/feature can replace. The switch from to VW to Toyota is a no brainer move. Congratulations.
Now gentlemen please come teach your work to some of some of our fellow automotive peeps in Atlanta 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very reliable... holds value... proceeds to swap out half of the truck.
Ah yeah, owner of a 1985 and 2007 4Runner here, so definitely happy to see this pop
I had to pause at 3:20... that 4 liter, while slow and clunky, is probably one of the best engines ever. My wifes 06 has 332k miles and still runs like new, I just bought a 23 ORP, came out of a Porsche Macan S. I'm loving the 4runner
I think it gets a bad rap. It's a lot stronger than my 3.4 which is also a great motor.
I live in Arizona so seeing all of that rust freaks me out 😂
We don’t have to worry about that in Phoenix 😂 just melting plastics
As someone near the Great Lakes, that frame still has a lot of life left in it.
Me to i live in Florida
Seeing that in Wisconsin, it looks like it should still be sitting on the showroom floor.
"Hamilton tuned suspension" cracked me up. If you know you know.
I'm not even from Hamilton or ever been there but watching all these SA videos I can tell how bad these roads are 😂
pot hole central
Bro Hamilton is the ass end of the gta
Yesssss excited for this one, I want a 4Runner but they’re creeping up into bad investment levels with the used market the way it is
Yes it sucks!
Just save for a new one at this point, the older models are nice but if you are looking to dump 5k+ into it the markets not really sustainable for that right now.
New car is the way to go.. Put a deposit $1000 on one now.. Drive for a year or two and sell for almost what u bought it for plus will have loyalty on next Toyota.
Get a 3rd gen instead of a 5th gen
Bought mine in 2019, cannot believe what's happened to the market since then.
4runner gang, and of course this wouldn't be SA if they didn't add some boost.
I own a 2014 Limited and this videosl gave me a good perspective on what mine could look like.. Thanks a ton!
Ayooooo I want one so bad! They are getting up there tho
If you dont need features the 4th gen is best. Same truck, lighter, cheaper. Or if you want to sacrifice a small amount of space fj cruiser. I own two because they are so good.
@Es1c one since 2012 and one since 2018 after my wife's gti got totaled. Mine has never had a problem or to the dealer and I have 140000 on it now. All I do is service it. Hers was to the dealer for matainence and some small problem i font remember but we have all the records. Hers has 165000 on it now. Both are the 6 speeds with rear lockers, and atrac. Got to love the manual transfer case as well. Less to go wrong and wont leave you potentialy stranded. I bought both for a deal and I dont want to tell you what I paid hahaha. Let's just say I can still make money even without all the mods. If I turned them back to stock and sold parts I think I could make 25000 in total. If you are looking just keep looking until you find the right one at the right price and who cares about color but I did luck out on the black cherry that I wanted even though I only was it every 6 years or so hahaha.
Organic vegan grocery stores ftw 🙌🏽
I literally just bought this exact suspension setup for my 2014 limited and had not seen many videos at all on the setup. My local shop said I’d love it and this makes me so excited to get it installed!
Hey brother how do you like it if u got it installed ?? Can you compare it to anything ? I am trying to decide on this one potentially
@@jimmycheung2363 The suspension is awesome. Drives smooth with a good amount of lift but nothing crazy. Drives so much better than stock and the steering smoothed out significantly as well. Highly recommend this setup for daily driving with light off road use. I also just completed the limited front bumper swap as well and the 4Runner is looking 🔥.
I can also say that it is far superior to the spacer lift I have had in the past. The spacer lift rod pretty good but bumps on washout were awful and it felt like you floated while driving at times. This setup is soft but very stable. You are very planted while getting the cushion of a luxury ride. I think that is the best comparison or overview I can give.
@@jimmymccracken1394 ✊🏻much appreciated brother! Been looking everywhere for a review on the eibach 2.0s for 4Runners! And man I was looking for those exact key words of removing floatiness but still soft ! I went from way too soft on stock to bilstein 5100 that I think were a bit stiff and was now deciding between eibach 1.0 and 2.0. Definitely buying now! Cheers man, dig the name lol
I had one of these as a rental car and everything you said about how the car reacts while braking is 100% true lol.
You guys should look in to a pedal commander to get rid of that latency in the gas pedal. I put one on my ls430 and the car feels like a completely different animal
I was thinking the same thing
Banks Power tested those and they were absolute garbage and potentially dangerous. Banks Power makes their own which are much better engineered.
Or a tune and not the poverty route
That's funny because on my v6 Rav4 and Venza, they're way too aggressive on tip in. I got a tune for the Rav4 for rear 02 delete for headers and forgot to ask to have tip in softened a bit.
Finally someone that installed their slotted rotor correctly
I always liked Pete because he’s also a German car guy, but Dave also really seems like a sick guy. Two guys you’d love to have a beer with
SA is in my opinion one of the best channels because they really have no biases towards any brands. So many other channels will touch everything BUT a Honda for example, even going so far as to razz em while working on them. So kudos to PT and DP for working on everything and making cross-continental franken-builds
Y’all are one of, if not, the best combos on UA-cam!! Your genuine enjoyment of rebuilding cars is awesome!
The lack of power is the one thing I didn’t like about my 4Runner when I had it. I am excited about this build!
At least a couple times a week, when frustrated by the lack of power in mine, I think to myself "I should sell this thing and get something with a real motor".
Pedal Commander! Your welcome!!
I have a Trd Pro. This is going to be fun to watch.
I’m still driving my 1996 4-Runner Ltd....354k km, TRD Supercharger, URD fuel system upgrades and Split Second piggyback CPU, Bilstein shocks and Addco sway bars. Best vehicle I’ve ever purchased. Bought new in December 1996 and I’ve never had to add a drop of oil between changes. Original exhaust system lasted over 20 years and just replaced original radiator this week due to a small leak.
Peter: “the v6 is abysmal”
*2gr mr2 guys enter chat*
Subtract 2000lbs and almost any motor will feel better.
@@inferno14u that’s what she said?
@@inferno14u I bet my d15 civic with nothing but the k frame will get me to 0-60 in just 13 seconds!
Just bought a 05 sport with the same engine literally a week ago they are amazing I also drive a ls430
You can tell the difference in the attitude and confidence between the American and Canadian personalities
The Canadian is more skeptical and hesitant
I have the 5th gen 2016 Limited. The brake dive diminished substantially when I upgraded the brakes to Power Stop. But I am disappointed with how quickly they wore out. Only lasted 30,000 kms. I am replacing them with an EBC setup. I also have the Xtras system but I use 1.25" Spider Trax spacers and run my tires @ 36 psi. It corners amazingly well for such a high riding heavy vehicle. However when the shocks start leaking I definitely will give the Eibach suspension a try. Loved this vid. Can't wait to see what that Magnuson supercharger will do. That is my next major upgrade. Keep the great vids coming guys!
This channel is dope. No fluff and super informational. Great job guys
I'm so glad you flat out replaced the calipers/pistons. $150-300 is definitely a good investment to know your front brakes are at/near 100% integrity.
Replacing front calipers/pistons, is such a ease-off the mind. Builds a lot more confidence in the vehicle, I've redone my whole family's brakes, after seeing they were all looking like mine that I replaced, rotted to the core, pins didn't slide, re-lubing them didn't help, still jammed up with rust and half-way falling apart while working with it. So everyone in the family knows we at least can safely brake, especially while my family is aging, I want them to have safe vehicles.
I may have gone a step further and replace the wheel bearings, just cause I like the vehicle to ride as smooth as possible.
Yup, you just gotta cut sway-bar links anymore. Even zinc-coated grade-8 hardware, I've had to cut, and boy was the grade-8 a bitch to cut through. Messy metallic cloud, inhaled :P Sometimes you can free the nut with a U-wedge fork tool, that is used for popping ball-joints out, to put enough force on it in the wheel-well is hard to do at times, the angles and space.
I think if I spent the same exact money on everything, on a build like this, I would pass on the bumpers, instead I'd plasti-dip the stock ones, then spend that bumper money on inner and outer tie rods, full ball joint replacement, full bushing replacement, full coolant hose kit, quality aftermarket radiator/fan, and oil cooler(or upgrade if it has a small one).
I own an 06 4runner and 1 thing I love is when working on it shit makes sense. Now mine is lifted and I was able to remove the coil and spring assembly and had tire still mounted all I did was take the 2 lower ball joint lower bracket support off and everything was straight forward. No extra bs to do.
Eibach makes really good suspension... they make hondas actually handle on the highway without losing too much speed with precise load control. i can only imagine how it would be on a 4runner
I've got the Eibach kit on my 4Runner and they feel great for daily use.
Excellent way to start the weekend!!!! 👍
Just bought this same leveling kit for my 2016 Tacoma, it's amazing.
Legend has it their still going over those railroad tracks 🛤
Loving it. 5th gen 4runner is my favorite vehicle...
Just drove by Sunrise Toyota yesterday.
You guys make me happy 😃
mannn all that rust just makes me really appreciate texas. my trucks 16 years old and have like no rust at all on it.
I have a 4Runner this generation, and the motor makes me hate it enough that I'm thinking of selling it and picking up a mid 2000s Tahoe or Suburban. I was thinking if I were to do that, I'd look down in Texas to get one that's rust-free. I'm in New England, so my 4Runner looks like this underneath too.
Yup... Saw the boxes in the pile; RAYS!!!!! Great vid guys. Miss the dad bod DP; well done and looking trim. Can't wait for the new wheel reveal.
Haha I miss the dad bod too, autoimmune protocol diet is cheating me of the love handles. I will binge my way back to greatness soon though, I hope!
@@speedacademydave Psoriasis myself. 6, and 1 year old girls. Dad bod and lifestyle changes engaged. Can’t wait for what you and Pete have planned for the “JDM Legends”.
WOW can't wait for the next one on the 4runner!
Whats up speed academy! I currently have a 2003 evo and I just purchased my brand new 2021 4runner offroad & man do I love this truck! Obviously isn't the fastest or most luxurious but this truck is a TANK! take it offroad and some trips and you'll see exactly what's its about! I'm excited to see your build as mine is still stock.
Good to see a 4runner on your channel. I got my ricer and my 4runner Trail edition. I also run Eibachs suspension but just the pro truck lift stage. it just makes the 4runner seem much more worthy and macho lol
Awesome video! If I ever get a 4Runner def getting the Eibach kit.
Cant believe you said sunrise Toyota in Long Island New York. Such a coincidence
I like the new project! Big fan of the 4runners. My mom has a 4th gen and it's been just foolproof. I tend to agree with DP, I think it's pretty quick for an old v6! It's not fast, but I'm always impressed (admittedly, easily so). Love the work, keep it up guys.
#TeamDP
Oh man- nice job guys! 4Runner is a great vehicle- and y’all are tackling the key items it needs to be better. Can’t wait for the boooossssttttt
You have revived my interest in your channel
Great job on this guys. More 4Runner content!
This was a great eibach sponsoring video. Wow what a difference!
Way to tease us with the Rays box in the back but you give us TRD pro wheels. Very clever. 😂
i cant believe you guys smashed those train tracks going 60, ive been over those tracks too, when im in my daily i go like 30 and it shakes the shit out of me. im very very very impressed with those eibach coils and that wheel and tire combo
Watch closely as Dave grabs tight to the "OH SH*T" handle when they do it. His face is priceless.
I love it , they are like old school land cruisers😊
This is such an amazing car! Love the mods!
U guys really do build all my dream cars thats y I'm subbed
one day!!! i will duplicate this build! best build on youtube. Thank you for all of these ideas.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m sold and getting the Eibach stage 2 for my 4Runner.
You keep making me want Toyota products that are blown?
Crazy
Liked the video before watching it and turned out to be great. Welcome to the 4Runner gang.
Love this series! I have a 2012 Limited and I'm feeling inspired lol
makes me happy to live in southern California
Nice! Glad you went with General tires! I find they make exceptional winter tires that do not wear-out-fast like other brands. I would get the same tire, mostly highway, some offroad, in the Grabber lines. I've driven many days on General winter tires, on 90 degree days(not by choice, just road-tripping in the winter), but didn't notice the additional-wear that my last pair of Blizzaks would show. I could get maybe 20k-25k miles out of of Blizzaks(if worn on the occasional hot day), where I believe I'll get 40-50k out of my current General winter tires. Also, Blizzaks couldn't take the occasional abuse from gravel roads, where I've noticed the General Altimax V2(on my Honda Civic) are holding up to the occasional 5-10 mile long country road.
We have a 5th gen 4Runner TRD Off Road and I plan to put the eibach kit on too. I have been waiting for this vid for a long time. I see a magnuson supercharger! 😱
Finally a 4runner on the channel ! Was hoping you’d get a 3rd gen. But it’s lovely nevertheless 💪🏻
Nah
10:25, you can always try using visegrip needle nose on the back side. Awesome work guys, Love 4runners!
This is tooo coool. I love 4runners.
First time here and well worth my time. Thank you, UA-cam algorithm! Good job guys!
Luvin this build! 👍
‘The HVAC system’ lol. Love it
Coming from a Toyota tech, I was so sad seeing you got a Limited because of the styling. Can't wait to see what you're gonna do for exterior styling! The advantage of getting a Limited IMO is that you don't have to deal with the KDSS sway bars, very expensive when the shock blow and they WILL blow!
I've got a 2019 and my front piston is already seeping. lol send help
meanwhile, people are trying to figure out how to retrofit the KDSS to the TRD Pro.
@@240sxdriver Damn brother! Hit up your dealer, they'll repair it under warranty!!
@@williamgauthier8460 They denied me because of my eibach lift T_T
Take it to a hydraulic shop, they'll be less than a dealer
excited already about part 2!!!!!
What an awesome upgrade! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
And the real reason for moving from the Touareg is revealed. :-)
Looking good!
I love how easy it is to adjust the height on those. My fox coilovers you have to take off the truck.
Y’all are kinda funny 😂 great video
love the 4R build!
awesome stuff guys.... Let put those Volk Rays on NOW!!!!!
OHHH YEAA!!!!! do a 3rd gen 4runner build next..
GC8 build next! Love your channel. More vids please! Almost at 1/2 million subs ! I still remember the chicken coupe. LOL. More track battles would be good too.
Always expect great things from these guys. By far my favorite automotive youtube channel, I'm looking forward to a million subs really soon. Great job guys, you never disappoint looking forward to part 2.
What a difference that suspension was! All that surface rust is rough tho!
Congrats on a new project! Great color! Back in 2018 I got rid of my 2013 SR5 4runner for the same reasons you mentioned. Rotors lasted one month tops before getting warped (did not even tow anything). That thing was not that easy to stop. I’m excited to see what you guys do with it!
Pete you just always seem to go all out baller style! Cant wait for the next episode
That 4.0L is legendary for reliability, enough said. Hence the price tag and price retention.
Dave holding onto the inside door handle for dear life going over those railroads 😭
Just trying to keep the manboobs from bouncing around too much haha
Always great content! This four part series is really great. Thanks for all your hard work!
Oh no, Dorman is advertising. Expect this trend across all of these types of channels! Premium and extended life from Dorman means it will work for a month.
Holy cow!!!! I thought Toyota rusting out was a myth!!!
LOL that's not even bad. Not a myth that all, any Toyota that is driven in an area where they use road salt type chemicals, is going to rust quite badly. I live in New England and have a 2013, it looked very similar to this before I got under it with a wire wheel on a drill and sanded it all down and treated it. Hopefully it lasts, I think there are probably a lot of Toyotas that made it to the junkyard because the frames rotted out and not for mechanical issues. I was looking for an older one and I gave up because a lot of them were just too corroded.
Can't wait for part 2!
Man. My 4R just went up in price. Lol. Got it new around $43k and now it’s still holding around $39-43k. Basically a free car. Lol.
only if you sell it now.
Awesome video guys! Doing it so right with this build!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Damm fammm Love it . We should go for a drive , I'll bring my 3gen 4runner 😍😍😍😍
Coming from a German vehicle you'll be most impressed that it's actually reliable....
Okay, now I’m inspired for a build. If only I could find a 4Runner for a non bonkers price right now.
I like that they are metric.
ONLY $25,000 CAD, dude I see them for sale in BC for like 30-40 grand for 2010-2015 models. I feel like you got a hell of a good deal!
Perfect timing as I need to replace the shocks on my 5th gen. Just a quick correction though, the old wheels you had weren't from a 4th gen, those are from a 5th gen SR5. I have the same ones.
This is a dope build 😩
Very interested in this build. I really like 4 runners but have always thought that the Unlimited is uniquely ugly compared to the TRDs. Can't wait to see how it comes together with the bumper swap.
I've gotten 21.5 mpg with my 4runner limited regularly on the highway at 70 mph. But of course I still had my 20in wheel and tires on it before switching to the 17in wheels and tires
Toyota is great!
It’s hot in AZ, but we don’t have those rust/corrosion issues. All Toyota 4Runner have issues with their brakes due to the design of their electronic brake booster which uses an electrical motor to keep the system pressurized. There is a way to salvage the entire brake booster unit without having to replace it every few years. Car Care Nut, a Senior Toyota Master Technician, is on the verge of showing this repair. It will save Toyota 4Runner owners a big chunk of change.
