Gorgeous build, what you do with building peoples rigs is what I want to do someday! Thanks for sharing! Your attention to detail is impressive and contagious.
The one thing I would add is that the tires sit too proud off the body. Candidate for a lot of mud and gravel to fling off and mar the body. I’d look at fender extenders to protect the body and make the stance streamlined
Speechless for sure🔥!!! I love the look of it, hopefully can get my 4runner in someday. Was hoping to see some off-roading on that badboy!!! You guys rock, keep up the good work👍, looking forward to more videos and seeing this one fully finished!!!
Y’all do amazing work! Although I love 4runners I think I would go with a GX460 and when that day comes when I buy mine I’m definitely bringing it to you guys for work.
I have watched this video at least 10 times! I've been saving up my humble military pay for a while in hopes of a build, almost exactly, like this. I have been driving the same Tacoma since the weekend after boot camp; 23 years now! Time for an upgrade. I am really on the fence with that expedition-one bumper and a victory bumper. There has be a better way to mount that backup camera between the two. Regardless, excellent work gents! I wish I could visit your shop, but NM is far away from Alaska. Cheers, and keep posting these types of videos!
Wow. Nice rig. I just came from a job in security in a remote site in DR Congo and a rig like this would have been perfect on the job. I had a huge V8 Land Cruiser that I called the " The White Whale ", impossible to patrol discretly in the bush with that color LOL. That 4Runner you built in some adequate paint job would have been perfect. Nice job guys !
@@TAVLLC Absolutely. Just the addition of an instant killswitch for all lights (inclusive tail and brake lights) and that´s my perfect African Bush Ops rig for sure. I would have caught a lot of bad guys with this one. Keep up the beautiful work. Hope to visit you guys one day. Cheers
Man I’ve been watching your videos for some time and never knew you guys were located in Albuquerque. I guess I just assumed you guys were from Denver. Badass keep up the good work!
I love the rear tire being mounted the way it is ...straight up and not tilted toward the tailgate like most 4 runners bumpers have them ...and it's a nice look the tire being offset.. but I don't understand why the right side is better than the left side... in regards to parking.. If it's a one-way Street you could park on either side of the roadway so what's the difference if it's on the left or the right???
Thank you for taking the time to explain each component in comprehensive detail. I like the addition of the super charger, the rear bumper and swing gates; also the roof rack. With the added weight of those specific components, could a person still run off pure stock TRD Pro suspension and wheels? Thank you for sharing this 4Runner! So many ideas spinning in my head now :)
Yes but no. Physically yes you can do it but the truck will tell you immediately that it isn’t happy. Then take it down any trail and it will drive that point home.
Yeah, I think that's one of your most impressive 4runner builds to date. Just amazing. I'm a little surprised that the client didn't opt to swap out the factory headlights for something better?
Not really any need to swap them out. Legally they can only be so bright for the road. The Lp6’s cover everything you can’t see with the headlights. The squadron pro Amber’s are great for the road.
That is an awesome truck! It sucks that even with the supercharger it’s not very powerful. A wrangler or gladiator with a magnusson supercharger gets significantly more power. Other than that the truck is amazing! I can’t wait for an updated 4Runner to come out
It’s a strength thing. More so for the Tacoma’s but we will normally do them on 4runners that will be on the heavier side and see a bunch of time in the rocks.
It rides amazing at any speed and any terrain. The spring rates we use allow the trucks to support themselves in turns and allow the suspension to move with the ground and not transfer that energy into the cab.
Beautiful build. Curious though if you ever have clients wonder after seeing pricing and effort needed to add superchargers, bigger rear axles, etc if they should maybe just start their build with a 200 series?
Not really. The 200 is insane awesome and I hope to have one someday. But comparing the two platforms you can do more with the 4Runner overall than the 200. Regarding the build out.
Couldn’t tell you off the top of my head but if you can give us a call at the shop we can find out what would work for you and get a more accurate assessment.
@@TAVLLC , let’s see how this year goes. I just put on 2.5 Fox shocks that are rebuildable. 3/1.5” lift with 33’s and I want to go to at least a 4/2.5” lift with 34’s. Got this done a year ago so it’s pretty new. Thanks for the reply and I’m going to keep y’all in mind when I decide to go bigger.
What's the fuel milage? I mean if you're trying to get 200,000-300,000 miles out of this thing the fuel milage difference is going to be a massive factor in budgeting over time.
I don’t know what this client is getting for fuel economy but that number will be different based on driving habits, where someone lives and how much the rig weighs. Over the span of 200,000 or 300,000 miles the fuel prices will have changed so many times how would you know if it is cost effective or not?
Rough approximation considering historical changes and rates of change in inflation vs fuel price then consider income rise over time and remove that? It'll never be anything more than a rough approximation or prediction. Assuming 200,000 miles unmodified and averaging 20 MPG hypothetically vs the same distance traveled @ 12 MPG for example gives a difference of ~6600 total gallons in difference. I'll just make up a number and assume during this time average price per gallon is 4.5USD, that would mean a hidden cost over 200k miles of 29,700USD. All hypothetical but it's something I'd consider as a frugal minimalist but I'd gladly accept such a price for robust capability.@@TAVLLC
4Runners are expensive to start with and I would estimate the mods to cost at least as much as a new 4Runner. The parts aen't cheap, but neither is the qualified labor. If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it.
There has to be a better rear camera set up than that gigantic donkey dong looking thing. Seems like the least clean thing on that 4runner. If you have that rig in a garage, you'll be hitting the ceiling or have some sort of clearance issues. I have been racking my mind on how I would set that camera up with the license plate other than that set up.
Agreed 100%, one of the most helpful things to know is the price of stuff. Maybe some ranges or some examples of prices for different components at least??
I've seen this beauty in person... one heck of a build!
I absolutely love how clean your builds are. Your shop has truly mastered these types of builds.
Thank you!
Keep them coming! I like to see these modified Toyota’s
My goodness that 4Runner looks beautiful... WOW incredible work!
Not only does it look very nice your attention to detail is well appreciated.
Being able to see the drum of the winch is an awesome point. Sweet build.
Daaayuuuum! nicely done! your attention to detail is nothing less than stellar.
Thank you very much!
That 4runner has got to be one of the coolest I've ever seen! Now it just needs a long range america tank.
Nice build. Thanks for sharing.
The build is awesome, but the finish work looks incredible.
This is absolutely beautiful
Im not sure how many times I have watched this build video. So Radical.
Thank you!
This is a build for a true 40th anniversary 4Runner! Keep up the great work and dedication to your brand as long as you can, we love your builds!
Thank you
Gorgeous build, what you do with building peoples rigs is what I want to do someday! Thanks for sharing! Your attention to detail is impressive and contagious.

Excellent build. The attention to detail is almost pathological. As it should be. Keep up the good work guys 👍👍👌

One of the best 4runner builds I've seen. Planning on getting a TRD Pro in the next month or two, need to drop it off to these guys!!!
Better to get the TRD Offroad if you are gonna be upgrading...save a few bucks
Awesome Build very nice work 👍👍🇺🇸 thanks for sharing
The Vermonter
Speechless for sure🔥!!! I love the look of it, hopefully can get my 4runner in someday. Was hoping to see some off-roading on that badboy!!! You guys rock, keep up the good work👍, looking forward to more videos and seeing this one fully finished!!!
Thanks very much! We will be shooting some more material and hopefully get it posted up in the near future.
Someday my 4Runner will reach this status. very cool setup. Great work
Great video! Good explanation and concise.
Amazing truck, as always
Excellent build Walt. Happy New Year.

Drool worthy- literally😍
Oh shit you guys are in Albuquerque! Had no idea. I'll be having to come to you guys when I'm ready to build my 4R.
I'll bring my 4runner eventually to you guys.
very nice and clean setup. love to have one.

Crushing 💪🏻
Forget the 4Runner, lets see that green Landcruiser in the back.
All in due time!
I miss my 1974 fj40 with mickey 40" tires...
Very very nice. 🤙
Incredible build! Where do you buy the sheets of ABS big enough to make your own wheel wells?
If I win the lottery, I will take my Taco to TAV and request for a stage 3 set up.
Always wonder how much the stage 3 is….
This is exactly what I want
Omg..... I'm so jelly!
What are the wheel specs ?? looking to get these on my tacoma. Love the build!!
Perfect.

Awesome and super clean looking!
Have you ever prepped a vehicle for EMP Resistance???
Thank you and no we haven’t. These new vehicles are just rolling computers.
This is my dream
Damn. 4:88 gears is not ideal with today’s gas prices. I still love it.
Can we get a tour of the actual shop one day? would be cool to see a behind the scene
I’ll be doing that pretty soon into the new year. We’re making some changes and moving some things around.
I agree. That’ll be a sick video!
What is the price bro, love it, looks like a great setup, thanks!
Trouble with cv boot longevity, or cv axles breaking with 35” tires?
Ok, very nice! How much for this set up? Ball park figure??
Do you guys do a stand alone suspension upgrade? I noticed you guys do an all out outfitting along with suspension.
We do. Sort of. It all depends on what you need. Best thing would be to just give us a call at the shop so we can see what you need and go from there.
its like looking at a supper Model
What's something like this cost to get done I like everything about this and would like to upgrade my runner like this
Very nice, why isn't the rear axle made the same length as the front wms with the long travel
We have the housings matched on the Tacoma’s we build. It’s not as vital on the 4Runner.
That is an awesome truck! It sucks that even with the supercharger it’s not very powerful. A wrangler or gladiator with a magnusson supercharger gets significantly more power. Other than that the truck is amazing! I can’t wait for an updated 4Runner to come out
4 runner will last double the time
@@gerryhazelton9569 probably but I’ve never had a vehicle for more than 4yrs so not an issue
How's the handling with the rear Anti-Rock and no sway bar up front? I figure with the custom spec'd Kings it's not too sketchy on the highway.
It’s really nice. It’s all in the spring rates. I love the way these trucks handsome on and off road.
Who needs owns this beast….!!!
An idea of how much is this setup??? Pls
Approx how much weight is added to the front end by going with the bumper, lights and winch? Does that drastically change ascent maneuvability?
Not 100% sure on weight, but with how we spec out our King suspension handling is top notch
Bad ass!
Question: do you do alignments in-house or do you outsource it? Who would you recommend?
I'm in ABQ btw
We bring them down the street to RNS on Wyoming.
Maybe install an led light for the winch inside of the roof of the bumper..
We normally do that when we install the rock lights. We haven’t gotten that far yet on his truck. It’s coming back for more work.
Killer.
Why replace the rear axle? Is the stock not strong enough for 35s? Lift requirements? Geometry?
It’s a strength thing. More so for the Tacoma’s but we will normally do them on 4runners that will be on the heavier side and see a bunch of time in the rocks.
Nice build! I noticed no sway bar in the front, how does that ride?
I'm curious as well. I'd imagine interstate driving in traffic would be fun keeping it on the road lol
It rides amazing at any speed and any terrain. The spring rates we use allow the trucks to support themselves in turns and allow the suspension to move with the ground and not transfer that energy into the cab.
Can you guys do anything with my 4 Runner if it has KDSS. I know total chaos makes a LCA that's KDSS compatible.
Yes we can. We can do this exact build on a truck with KDSS.
Awesome build and company. Is there a reason you've chosen not to run a snorkel?
Thank you! The customer decided he didn’t want one.
How much would you say a build like this would cost?
Awesome truck. Where can I purchase the BBK Stoptech?
Thank you! Just give us a shout at the shop and we can get you squared away. 505-219-3147
So dialed!
Beautiful build. Curious though if you ever have clients wonder after seeing pricing and effort needed to add superchargers, bigger rear axles, etc if they should maybe just start their build with a 200 series?

@@TAVLLC Copy that and thanks for your thoughts. Excited for more of your uploads.
I bet it will cost more than the 4runner itself, nice build lol.
Whats the difference between stage 1, stage 2 and stage 3 for builds? I imagine it has to do with the type of mods but not sure...
All on our website, but we will be working on videos to explain this very soon.
Would it make sense to put a build like this on an SR5?
Yup
The spring looks like it's gonna constantly rub on the shock hose
The hose is close but not touching. I wouldn’t set it up to rub the spring.
Looks very well engineered all around............how much tho
Couldn’t tell you off the top of my head but if you can give us a call at the shop we can find out what would work for you and get a more accurate assessment.
Surprised you didnt black out the Toyota logo in the grille, "no chrome policy".
Haha good eye! It’s coming back for a couple more things so I’ll have to see if he’ll let me change it.
Size of the tires and rim Pls?
Thanks
35”
What’s a stage 3 cost? I can’t figure it out on your website.
No truck is the same so we cant put an exact price on the build. the best is to inquire and see where your specific build would land.
I feel so inferior right now 😂😂😂
price?
Is that a chopped stock exhaust?
Sure is.
I wish I didn’t get KDSS. I had to go with a 3” lift with 33’s
We have a way of bypassing the KDSS if you don’t like it.
@@TAVLLC , let’s see how this year goes. I just put on 2.5 Fox shocks that are rebuildable. 3/1.5” lift with 33’s and I want to go to at least a 4/2.5” lift with 34’s. Got this done a year ago so it’s pretty new. Thanks for the reply and I’m going to keep y’all in mind when I decide to go bigger.

hi im new to the 4runner lifestyle is this like over 5000 or under thanks!
All of this? Lol, more like $20k+
There's about $30k just in accessories not counting install time.
you are staring at almost double that alone when he just opens the hood
Such a sad video: knowing I’ll never afford any of it on this LES. 😢
Wow.....someone has too much money!!!....lol....must be nice!
I feel like this vehicle has less dirt on it than a politician. Will it ever actually see a dirt road???

Might as well give it a nomenclature if there's so many acronyms then go ahead and bid it to the US MILITARY 🤣
if you take it off hoist the headlamps will be more like waist line rather than shoulder line ...pls don't exaggerate . Thanks
Duh. Hence the reason I said it was on the lift. Your welcome.
It easily costs upwards of $30k.

My guess is $30k. The bumpers, sliders, and skids alone cost $6-$10k.
@@txrunroutdoors I bet its way more than $30k. Currie F9 rear end, big brake kit, supercharger, long travel suspension etc... Plus labor, tax etc...
