Also correct me if I am wrong but the stock TRD skids are 1/4" aluminum. I have heard if you can get 1/2" aluminum skids they are just as strong as steel. Obviously just more expensive but if you are super concerned about strength and so you are leaning toward steel but hate rust, maybe look for those! I have not done the math but I believe 1/2" aluminum skids are still lighter than an equivalent strength steel thickness.
Yeah the aluminum is much more substantial in the after market, maybe it is just as strong as the steel because I honestly have done the math. That would be a cool video doing the tinsel strength of different offroad mods lol. I think most of the “overland” style bumpers are aluminum so I think that’s probably a good route to go.
I am actually getting RSG sliders as my first major mod (bought them before my T4R) angled slider w/kick out and top plate. In Hawai’i they were over $1200 thanks to the shipping costs. Here in Honolulu I don’t think we have the same kind of rock crawling as Colorado so I’m more going for light weight parts, aluminum skids and bumpers.
Damn that’s wild! I mean it’ll at worst case be a great step if you don’t slam the sliders much but even though I only hit them maybe 1 time every other month I still like having that knowing I’m not ruining my rocker panel.
But yeah I think going aluminum is the way to go for that kind of stuff out your way. The culture out there seems so different with the Toyota culture. Seems pretty popular to go 6 inch lift on 4Runners and Tacomas where as we go 3 inch. But I’m sure not everyone.
My first mod shortly after I got my 4Runner was a set of RSG angled sliders with kick outs and no top plate, haha. I love them, they look great and the kick-outs make a handy step for rear seat or roof access. If it's like only an extra hundred bucks to get them powder-coated, I would definitely recommend that route. I got mine unpainted, spent about 50 bucks on painting supplies and almost a whole weekend getting them prepped and painted correctly. Not to mention I had to wait a while to install them, because I needed to wait for good weather to do that painting outside.
Yeah thats a good point, I feel the same about painting them because now every time I slam my sliders I end up hitting it with a rattle can even though I paid a ton for a powder coat. It's really not a big noticeable difference in my opinion.
@@OXFOOT yeah, I took my time and actually got a really nice finish with the spray paint, and I have no worries about touching them up later if I need to. It was just such a hassle to do it, I would rather have just spent the extra hundred bucks to not have to deal with it. Lesson learned. I checked with the local powder coater, would have been almost $400 to have the pair done after the fact. In retrospect, the extra $100 upcharge for PC from RSG would have been a bargain.
Yeah you’re in a good area for that. Right off of cold ax you’ve got RSG and your not far from running4tacos and a bunch of other places. I’m in wheat ridge so not far from you I guess.
Hey man! Loved this video! You think it's be possible to get a much more in depth video regarding RTT? I'd love to see a review by you on like a dozen different options ranging in cost. If not, thanks anyway and keep up the great vids!
I started a series on covering RTT but I would love to do a video on that. Have a new series on cheap vs steep and that would be something good to do like 4 or 5 RTTs ranging in price.
I have bumped it a few times but not super often. I also have a G20 up there so it’s a full size, I think I’ll be switching to something smaller like a G29 which I know would fit just fine.
Thanks for the great suggestions. We have a 5th Gen 4runner with the Uptop Overland Bravo rack and we second your recommendation. It's a quiet, extremely durable and versatile rack. Jeep up the good work!
Those RSG rock sliders are pretty sweet. Cool that they have so many options; I've had a hard time finding decent sliders without the kickout. I think I'll order the DOM version. Great tips. Tx, man!
Yeah honestly I love that company. They don’t even pay me to talk about them or anything. I just think that they make a solid product with lots of options. The idea company.
@@OXFOOT Totally. Glad I held off on the more expensive brands that wouldn't have met my specs. The DOM strength is perfect too since we're talking about rock sliders. Very grateful for the tip, sir.
Yeah honestly my old 4Runner doesn’t have that sensor and not many people I know have them so I guess I forgot about it and overlooked it. Most of the companies now will say if it does or not. The C4 bumper does say in their site that if you get the full height bull bar or no bull bar you would be fine. I have the mid height and they claim that it will affect the sensor. As far as the others go I’m not sure but they might have it listed on their website?
It seems like as long as you go either full height or no bull bar on any of the bumpers listed you should be fine but I would call you the customer service to make sure before you pull the trigger.
@@OXFOOT unfortunately, I don’t think any vehicle or product manufacturer is going to say their product won’t interfere with this safety feature. You know, the whole liability thing - and the feature in question is designed to save the life of a pedestrian.
@@mikee.5158 Yeah I get that. The one I have would 100% interfere with that sensor and they do sa that when you purchase one. I dont have that sensor so I'm okay.
@@OXFOOT that would be great. I have mine since 2004 and love it. Covid use more ground clearance. I may lift it but skid plate from Skid plate guy in Syracuse for sure.
Enjoyed your video on these mods. Do all of the winch bumpers interfere with pre-collision warning on the 2921 4Runners? I would like to keep the warning for family members.
So I’m not actually that sure. I honestly didn’t even know that the new 4Runners had new technology. I think if you look on their websites they should be able to tell you. I know I think on C4 they had some sort of option they may have been for those sensors.
@@OXFOOT Went to their website and they claim that neither the bumper nor the bull bar interferes with the 4Runner’s TSS system. I asked my initial question because I plan on buying the 2021 Off-Road Premium as my Northwoods hunting vehicle with Truck Vault for guns and gear in the wayback along with letting the family drive it in town.
Any recommendations for off-road or Toyota focused shops on the front range? Looking to get bumpers and sliders on our new TRD pro. I really want to go somewhere that will do a good job and that wouldn't mind answering some of my stupid questions.
Mountain Yotas is a new shop but they’ve kind of gathered a lot of the best folks around to leave and come to their shop. You could also check out R4T, RSG off colfax, Tru although I’ve only been there once.
You can got to any of the shops either of us listed as they are all great shops. I only say Mountain yotas because after I’ve used tons of shops that’s my choice. Although I don’t know John’s 4x4.
Nice! The only thing you have to look out for with the new 4Runners is the front sensor with the bumpers you choose. Just have to either get no bull bar or a full height.
@@hanzohattorri2471 I’ve only ever used the Amazon”yescom” cheap awning before and I just got it so it’s not a long term test yet. I’m not certain I can recommend it without having it for a while but I’ve heard good things. I was actually about to DIY one before I came across this one.
I gotta check that out! I love that they sell their blemished stuff on their site. I’ve been meaning to support them for that one next chance I get. That’s the whole reason I ended up going SCS for my wheel upgrade because they offer that option too.
Pretty much any ladder should work as the ladder sits in the hatch and needs to open and clear the rack in order to be a useful ladder, and the uptop bravo is way more low profile than the gobi rack so you would likely be able to clear the gobi ladder no problem. I have the C4 ladder and have seen people using that ladder with the Bravo. Wescott designs also has a great one. The hobo ladder you’ll have to wait a long time for so if you can wait then do that.
Hey, man! I have a 2021 4Runner believe it’s a SR5 premium. Was wondering, how exactly did you order your bumper? The c4 of course, but what about the little prompts? How did you fill those out? I’m moving to illinois, sadly, and need a front license plate
So since you have the 2021 you have the sensor that I don’t have. You can only get the full height bull bar or no bull bar. I have the mid height which messes up your sensors. The hawse plate you’ll need to get. I have a 30” cut out for my light bar with an extreme LED light but I’m not sure if it’s the one they offer, I just picked my own. And the last option is the winch... I’d just go buy a smittybilt 9500 on amazon and add that. The ones they offer are really expensive.
Also just make sure you choose the right cutout to fit the light bar you get. So 30” light bar and 30” cut out. I’ve seen people make that mistake before.
It looked like you mounted your spare 285 tire in the stock location? Does that affect ground clearance at all? And are there any precautions one should take to protect that tire from trail damage?
I’ve had the stock spare on there for about two years now and I haven’t had any issues. It’s a tight fit but it’s doable. The tire doesn’t cause too much difference in ground clearance that I’ve seen but I’m sure that it may hang slightly wider which would make it stick out slightly further when the tail end is low and the front end is way up. But I haven’t hit it personally and I’ve done some pretty difficult trails.
I guess if you had an onboard compressor like I do you could technically keep the spare at like 20 psi and then if you need it you can inflate it back up when you put it on. I’m not sure what other protection you could do to prevent it from getting damaged. Other than that just take lines different if you are worried about hitting it.
I really like the looks of the front end, but if i were to ever buy one I would hand to have a front and rear bumper delete to install a high clearance Winch bumper with large side flares, almost like a wide body look.. just my thoughts and dreams
Yeah no I really like that way that looks. For some reason when I bought this I was digging the stock look it provided with the low profile bumper… now I’ve grown to like the full bumper look. I think my next build if going to be full bumper high clearance as I can get.
Question. I went to the RSG website to look at the sliders with kick out and looking at the pics of them installed it seems like they interfere with getting in and out of the back seat. Is that the case? Am I going to regret putting these on my everyday vehicle with 2 teenagers riding in the back? Thanks
With the kick out you should be fine, do you mean angled and kick out? It might make it more difficult in some way if they are shorter or something but it doesn’t interfere with the door or anything. It’s a good question but I’m not sure what part of it makes you concerned, the height or the angle
According to C4 on the lo pro bumper (in the thumbnail, aka mine) does not block the sensor if you get the FULL HEIGHT bull bar or no bull bar at all. The mid height bull bar will 100% block the sensor.
Do you have the super light? I’d be interested in that. What area are you in? I’m in Denver. Also I’m on Instagram as Oxfoot, you can message me there about it and we can figure something out.
Are you talking about the black part on my bumper? That’s just the little plastic piece that comes on the offroad but I plasti dipped it. Is that what you’re talking about? Or the shackle hitch that I have back there?
@@OXFOOT you're right when you say the black piece. It's not what comes stock but on the part of the bumper that faces other cars. That gets beat to hell on my 4runner.
So if you have stock wheels and no lift you can either do a 265/70/17 or a 275/70/17. If you have a 3” lift you can do 285/70/17, 295/70/17, 285/75/17, and you can go bigger than those but you start getting into some serious cutting and hammering.
They may rub at fully flex if you still have that small mud flap on the back of the front wheel well but if you remove that then you’d have to have it really badly aligned for it to rub.
Rattle caning just means taking a spray paint can of some sort either regular rustoleum or truck bed liner. It’s typically the same thing as spray painting something but usually implies something a little more high quality.
I been around for short hikes in Golden. Just your license plate is hitting me haha. Currently running an x3 and unsure if i should trade in for new 4runner or taco. Car market aint great tho :( i will have to satisfy with seeing ur vids!
I mean the X3 can probably do some of the easier trails closer to Denver. I’m unaware of any people I know running an X3 but I can’t imagine they are too bad with 4WD or at least AWD. I think eventually switching to either a taco, 4Runner, Xterra or something like that might be good if you get into a little more heavier offroading, but I think in this market it might be worth it to see how capable your current vehicle is.
I’ve been thinking about doing a lift comparison video from cheapest to most expensive. Is there anything specifically you want to see in a video on lifts? Like a budget one or just comparing kits?
I actually almost bought one recently but the prices are going through the roof. I am going to be doing more on the GX in some new videos. A walk around of one and a comparison.
Hell yeah. I used to be on their subscription but now I just buy it when I need some because coffee at the office is free. I may get back in the subscription soon though.
Damn! Good point! I’m making another video about budget camping stuff and I’ll probably be doing an awning in there. Been meaning to add one for a while.
I'm a taco owner. I've had several in my driveway through the years. I was disappointed the way you started your infomercial. You got this bad ass 4runner, all set up and everything and your disclaimer for being indoors is that it's snowing. Don't be all scared and everything you got a 4runner.
Yeah normally I wouldn’t have stayed in for snow. I camp in the snow all the time, however it was 2.5 feet of snow at the time and they were calling for 5ft of snow that day, lol. It was just a mess outside and my camera isn’t completely waterproof. It was a record setting snow that week and I wanted to film so I shot inside. I get it though, it makes me seem like I’m not about that life, but I can assure you as a lifelong snowboarder I’m really about that life ha.

Nice! The only thing you have to look out for with the new 4Runners is the front sensor with the bumpers you choose. Just have to either get no bull bar or a full height.
@@OXFOOT that’s what I was concerned about on how sensitive it would be with or without it or with a full.

I’m not an expert on 2nd Gen tacos but I believe OME has a decent lift for around $1000-1400 or so. It’s the lift that a lot of land cruiser guys get.
Also the terra flex falcon but I’m not sure what shops carry those and do installs.
Rotopax is making their own traction boards for $125ish right now for a set as well

What ladder would you run with an Uptop Bravo rack? Does the Gobi ladder work with the bravo rack?

I really like the looks of the front end, but if i were to ever buy one I would hand to have a front and rear bumper delete to install a high clearance Winch bumper with large side flares, almost like a wide body look.. just my thoughts and dreams
Yeah no I really like that way that looks. For some reason when I bought this I was digging the stock look it provided with the low profile bumper… now I’ve grown to like the full bumper look. I think my next build if going to be full bumper high clearance as I can get.
@@OXFOOT nice, safe travels!
Question. I went to the RSG website to look at the sliders with kick out and looking at the pics of them installed it seems like they interfere with getting in and out of the back seat. Is that the case? Am I going to regret putting these on my everyday vehicle with 2 teenagers riding in the back? Thanks
With the kick out you should be fine, do you mean angled and kick out? It might make it more difficult in some way if they are shorter or something but it doesn’t interfere with the door or anything. It’s a good question but I’m not sure what part of it makes you concerned, the height or the angle
What type of rattle can are you using to coat your sliders?
I believe it’s just black rustoleum. I used that on my bumper a ton.
Can't find a bumper/pushbar compatible with the front sensor.
According to C4 on the lo pro bumper (in the thumbnail, aka mine) does not block the sensor if you get the FULL HEIGHT bull bar or no bull bar at all. The mid height bull bar will 100% block the sensor.
My dude, let’s get in contact about a Superlite vs the Platform RTT. Might be interested. Solid video as well man.
Do you have the super light? I’d be interested in that. What area are you in? I’m in Denver. Also I’m on Instagram as Oxfoot, you can message me there about it and we can figure something out.
@@OXFOOT I am not on the gram currently but could email forsure!
missed the opportunity. that smittybilt tent was running for 799.99 at one time in 2019.
Yeah I remember my buddy had one and he bought it back in 2018. Huge missed opportunity for me. I’m happy with my tent now though.
Would you recommend a high output alternator for a 4Runner
What is it for? Like for a battery set up, speakers, the vehicle itself?
@@OXFOOT added power for lights and electronics plus anything else you need like charging a solar bank
Is there a roof-rack that can hold both bikes and skis?
I wish!

Wife: Honey use the money we received and go to the grocery store.
Me: Grocery or Mods......Mods 🤩.
I mean what else was that check for if not truck mods?
@@OXFOOT Hahah right on. We can survive on Ramen for a while. I won't complain.
Absolutely
Hey, I see that you have some type of mod to your rear bumper. What do you have that protects the back bumper?
Are you talking about the black part on my bumper? That’s just the little plastic piece that comes on the offroad but I plasti dipped it. Is that what you’re talking about? Or the shackle hitch that I have back there?
@@OXFOOT you're right when you say the black piece. It's not what comes stock but on the part of the bumper that faces other cars. That gets beat to hell on my 4runner.
Those tires you recommended for the ko2s were for the stock rims and no lift right?
So if you have stock wheels and no lift you can either do a 265/70/17 or a 275/70/17. If you have a 3” lift you can do 285/70/17, 295/70/17, 285/75/17, and you can go bigger than those but you start getting into some serious cutting and hammering.
There’s also some random sizes in between all of those but it’s best to go with a more common tire size because they are cheaper typically.
Anyone know if the 285s will rub on a factory OEM TRD off-road?
They may rub at fully flex if you still have that small mud flap on the back of the front wheel well but if you remove that then you’d have to have it really badly aligned for it to rub.
@@OXFOOT awesome!!! Thx for the reply!!
Great video
Great video !!!
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out. More importantly thanks for the feedback!
great video thank you
What do you mean by rattle canning?
Rattle caning just means taking a spray paint can of some sort either regular rustoleum or truck bed liner. It’s typically the same thing as spray painting something but usually implies something a little more high quality.
I redid my bumper recently and used a can of truck bed liner with a layer of self etching primer underneath.
Good job
Thanks!
I think I've seen your car before driving around in CO. maybe I'm wrong haha
Could be. I live right around golden/ wheat ridge. The build is pretty common but the GFC is very much recognizable.
I been around for short hikes in Golden. Just your license plate is hitting me haha. Currently running an x3 and unsure if i should trade in for new 4runner or taco. Car market aint great tho :( i will have to satisfy with seeing ur vids!
I mean the X3 can probably do some of the easier trails closer to Denver. I’m unaware of any people I know running an X3 but I can’t imagine they are too bad with 4WD or at least AWD. I think eventually switching to either a taco, 4Runner, Xterra or something like that might be good if you get into a little more heavier offroading, but I think in this market it might be worth it to see how capable your current vehicle is.
You should check out Switzerland trail. It’s up near Nederland. I’m pretty sure you’d be fine there. Good practice spot.
@@OXFOOT not that far either! I will definitely check it out. Thank you for the recommendation. Hope to get into the offroad game soon 😎
very informative.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Great video
Thanks!
Can you do a video on lift kits?
I’ve been thinking about doing a lift comparison video from cheapest to most expensive. Is there anything specifically you want to see in a video on lifts? Like a budget one or just comparing kits?
Good video, thanks helped alot
Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!
why rft why cant you have love for the gx470!
I actually almost bought one recently but the prices are going through the roof. I am going to be doing more on the GX in some new videos. A walk around of one and a comparison.
Lets gooo!
Thanks for hopping in the comments early!
@@OXFOOT thanks!
It’s funny. From the 70’s through the 90’s we just called it camping.........
Oh I still call it camping. A lot of people looking for this type of video would probably refer to it as overlanding though.
I came from the backpacking world before the “overlanding” world.
Exactly, it's just referred to as overlanding. I guess that name stuck
Great Review thank you 👍 🇺🇲

Thanks I appreciate it! Thanks for stopping by.
Can't get them BFG's for $900 anymore 😪 😕
Yeah not anymore

Huh
BRCC 👍
Hell yeah. I used to be on their subscription but now I just buy it when I need some because coffee at the office is free. I may get back in the subscription soon though.
Awning!
Damn! Good point! I’m making another video about budget camping stuff and I’ll probably be doing an awning in there. Been meaning to add one for a while.
Should have at least added that to the bonus section though.
why everyone on instagram on the toyota's now?
Huh
Thank you based god
TYBG!
I'm a taco owner. I've had several in my driveway through the years. I was disappointed the way you started your infomercial. You got this bad ass 4runner, all set up and everything and your disclaimer for being indoors is that it's snowing. Don't be all scared and everything you got a 4runner.
Yeah normally I wouldn’t have stayed in for snow. I camp in the snow all the time, however it was 2.5 feet of snow at the time and they were calling for 5ft of snow that day, lol. It was just a mess outside and my camera isn’t completely waterproof. It was a record setting snow that week and I wanted to film so I shot inside.
I get it though, it makes me seem like I’m not about that life, but I can assure you as a lifelong snowboarder I’m really about that life ha.
Tuned in for a suite of mods for $1400 dollars, watched a video with mods totaling over $7000...fail!
Where did I say I was going list mods that total $1400?
take your shit to a local fabricator, they will replicate the same thing for a fraction of the price!
That’s a good point too. I’m sure on most vehicles you could have one fabbed for pretty cheap and make it more custom.
Running your mouth with dollars and you have no concept of money in spending $1,400 stimulus money on a bumper?
What? Lol. I didn’t even get a stimulus. What does this comment even mean?
Great video
