@@AustinH7 Flexy doesn't mean stable or traction ...I proved that the last couple trips out I have plenty of travel but not as much as someone who lets their coils unload with triangulated cheap white body shocks I walked and ran up ledges that just threw the sloppy flex set ups right off the wall . A. certain amount of flex is useful after that it doesn't do anything and with lockers you're better off lifting a tire than having a sloppy unloading suspension .
Nice! There may have been a better line down, it's tough to tell, but damn that driver must have ice water in his veins! Talk about one calm SOB! I'd need to change my shorts after that. Nice rig too!
I'm not an expert in off roading, but wouldn't it have been better to approach the steep decline directly instead of at an angle? I'm pretty sure he still would have had clearance from the rocks despite the approach angle. Idk. Terrain can be deceiving from cameras, so I might be wrong.
Those are the situations where you have to let go of the brake a bit to give you counter rotation and relieve the pivoting. The problem is sometimes you break something since you roll forward too fast. But it looks like he allowed it to creep forward enough to set the rear back down.
4runner are the best allaround vehice. offroading, everyday comute, towing (v8) except campers and big stuff and u can get it an a really comfortable ride (limited)
Great video my man! I'm always happy to see another 4Runner owner putting their vehicle through the paces. I've only had one oh shit pucker factor experience with mine, but that was way more extreme lol. I'll subscribe and check out your videos, I hope you do the same, one 4Runner owner to another.
Thanks for the response. I will follow you too. I was actually the camera man on that video. The Owner of a Toyota Store was driving that's his 4 runner.
Very cool, I want to get into video editing to expand the channel. I just got a GoPro Hero4 but haven't had a chance to fool with it yet. More videos to come on my end soon.
I don't think I could have rode that out without a little more throttle at that angle. I was pressing the gas pedal as I was watching the video. Either he froze up and messed his pants or he had a lot of confidence in his spotter. After seeing some of the hand gestures and smiling, I'll conclude both were lucky. Cool video!
I dont understand what's so good about driving slow with a bunch of crap around some rocks. its all about ''look what my truck can do'' meanwhile the drivers are out of shape
spotter caused that.
I like when the spotter takes a step towards the 4runner in case it tips
LOL yea like he would do something if it came over!
Danny Tran His suspension was to FLEXY that's why he got tippy ...We usually see that silly over flexy suspension on Jeeps the TOY guy know better .
What was the spotter thinking? I can push him back??
@@yerwrng 4 year old comment but you couldn’t be more wrong. A flexy suspension helps keep all 4 tires on the ground

I would never let that guy spot me again.
But it’s because of his shorts. 😂
Lmfao
Spotter was horrible...
lol spotter basically put his passenger side front tire in the deepest hole he could find
Exactly
Holy carp! If I'd been the driver, I would have needed to change my shorts after that!
it was a scary moment for a second!
I just got my first 4Runner 2016. Car of my dreams
That's it. I'm getting a 4runner
Would of been nice to see that Jeep come down the same path
Wow people actually using what these cars were made for. What a surprise.
Jason Heimann I meant in terms of clearance and suspension, not the whole vehicle.
nope, lifted, surprise!
Dustin Huynh I'm pretty sure that's just the factory TRD Pro. lift only 1.5 inches
Jason Heimann I'm not sure that's true.
this is exactly what a trd pro was made for lmao
Nice! There may have been a better line down, it's tough to tell, but damn that driver must have ice water in his veins! Talk about one calm SOB! I'd need to change my shorts after that.
Nice rig too!
it was definitely a little scary.
Just bout a 2018, 3" coil overs, 275 BFG ko2 can't wait to get it on
Meanwhile, the Jeep in the background is photo bombing with a perfect pose.
Wow that's incredible with that 4Runner!
Nice work! Flopped my Heep on this obstacle a few years back.
take it easy, dont scare the jeeps away
jeeps handle this always no problem
A properly set up Jeep would not even lift off a wheel .
A properly setup 4runner would too
Jeep woulda went over with that spotter.....wtff
FJ Cruiser is my dream car!
Why does that matter?
I'm not an expert in off roading, but wouldn't it have been better to approach the steep decline directly instead of at an angle?
I'm pretty sure he still would have had clearance from the rocks despite the approach angle.

If thr 4runner were a Transformer it would have told the spotter nice try... Optimus Prime voice!

the guy move like he is gone catch the suv when the suv looked like it was about to flip
2.00min
They call that obstacle “Flopper” for a reason. It’s pretty tough!
So..... Where is the video of the jeep taking the same line?
You're one lucky SOB! I'm thinking without that steel front bumper, he woulda gone over!
we joke about the fridge in back held the 4 runner down.
I would never let ol'Jimmy spot me again.
Holy pucker factor Batman! 😲
Wow, that was dang close.
Who makes that front bumper on the TRD Pro? I love it!
Good grief, I thought it was going over for sure. Whew!!
it felt like it for a second
Pucker factor= 10 out of 10. Those insects appear to be a real PITA
the mosquitoes were horrible that day
All is well as long as you don't spill your beverage.....or did you?
no beverages were spilled!
that spotter was like meh not my car
awesome angles 4Runner!
thank you
Very well filmed. I can't wait to get myself my first 4runner. I'm thinking of going for the V8 limited.
markeldamgaard lot of money, but worth it
thank you i did the filming and my buddy was the driver
4runner are the best allaround vehice. offroading, everyday comute, towing (v8) except campers and big stuff and u can get it an a really comfortable ride (limited)
very true
FJs do that too.
Were you in crawl mode or did you control acceleration? Any lockers on?
Those orange traction mats on you Runner what brand name. THERE ARE GOOD ONES AND NOT SO GOOD ONES
That's awesome!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
thank you
amazing
0:47 most confusing spotting directions I've ever seen ;)
What kind of bumper is that on the 4runner?
Nice save by the driver.
Grate (4Runner) and good job driver.
"Wheeler Lake" FTFY.
is there a way to disable the roll sensor on these?
RSCA is the button to turn it off.
FWfilms where is that button located. I have a TRD Pro and have not seen such button..
Beast!
All terrain tires too? Nice....
The jeep at 1:39 in the background looks so sick with the mountain there
there were 3 of us in a jeep, fj and the 4 runner and we had 30 jeeps in front of us and 20 behind us...
Did yo u mod your suspension for that winch/aluminum bumper combo?
the whole bottom of that 4 runner has been modded and cut away.
anyone know the name of the storage on the roof???
Alot of jeep owners are butt hurt in the comment section
Dont hate just appreciate
Я думал, что в свои 60лет видел все, или почти все, что вытворяют внедорожники, но как я заблуждался!!!
I though for sure is was going over!
Woah! Sketchy!
Spotter should have had him turn sooner.
Bent frame?
if he was not as smooth it would've flipped, the spotter was telling him to roll forward and he was not.
Talk about PUCKER FACTOR lol

ill have some new ones soon
Well there's a tent on top. I'm guessing he brought a spare pair of underwear.
thats right
so.. the jeep didn't make it?
the jeeps all made it too. There were 50 + jeeps that trail that morning.
I don't think I could have rode that out without a little more throttle at that angle. I was pressing the gas pedal as I was watching the video. Either he froze up and messed his pants or he had a lot of confidence in his spotter. After seeing some of the hand gestures and smiling, I'll conclude both were lucky. Cool video!
at 0:56 driver needs new pampers :D
Good tail wind and it would gave been all over.
SPOTTER SUCKS as all have mentioned below. Make sure to remind him lol
That was bad spotting.

I dont understand what's so good about driving slow with a bunch of crap around some rocks. its all about ''look what my truck can do'' meanwhile the drivers are out of shape
