I think Army Green TRD ties in nicely and is more custom-suited to your build. That added information on the Baha Ladder was beneficial; up to this point, the C4 Ladder was my top choice, but you managed to provide insight I had not considered. I will continue binging on this playlist, now. 😄
Great latter. We installed a Gobi rack on our 4 runner a year ago and it came with an offset latter which is designed about the same as the Baja . At the time Gobi through in the latter at no cost with the rack, otherwise I would have gone with the Baja latter because it has the plate at the bottom that protects the paint on the tailgate.
Really nice early mods. I just installed the same front skidplate (KDSS version) on my 2024 TRD OR, and had the dealer take off the original running boards and replace them with the OEM rock sliders when I bought it. I think the rear ladder is my next item, just like you've done :)
I just got the TRD ORP in Underground and been following your channel for ideas and instructions on the different installs. Was gonna get it in Army green but wasn't available to the 2024MY.
Great add on and tutorial on the installs. Any chance of doing a future episode on rust proofing / undercoating as i would hate to see that new 4Runner start to rust underside. Thanks
Ha, ha, I found your video on the OEM Rock Slider. Excellent. If I get a TRD Off Road with KDSS, will this OEM work with the KDSS. I'm too old to assume. Thanks.
I’m 6’2” 220 so those ladders wouldn’t work for me for a couple reasons…..one it wouldn’t hold me up lol and secondly, and arguably the more important point, I don’t NEED a ladder as I’m not vertically challenged. Lol anyways, she’s “lookin good cannonball run”!!! Love that green, but prefer my midnight black metallic or whatever Yota calls it officially lol can’t wait to see your ORP once she’s finally “done”. I’ve got a ‘21 TRD ORP with the XP Predator Pkg and I’ve added the four raptor lights in white and the blackout steering wheel emblem. Want to lift/level her next. God bless~
Thank you my friend!! The whole ladder for me let’s face it, it’s mainly the look. Those XP predator pkg are nice. Soon as I get the funds will tackle the expensive suspension deal 😅😉 Stay tuned!!
@@VikingsGarage yeah I want to get my front end up a little and help with that nose dive at braking. I think the cheapest best option is just the bulstein 2.5” I believe but 🤷♂️
What are your thoughts about 10k mile changes? I cant do it and change it every 5k miles with a toyota filter and Penzoil. Love your videos. I changed my trans fluid following your instructions
I was told that I should but, it holds her perfectly fine(it’s a fairly light ladder). 🤷🏼♂️ Great point- Totally forgot to mention it in the video(will do on the next episode)
Just curious. Would it be better to install the ladder in the middle of the tailgate to distribute weight between both hinges? Also would these OEM rock rail work with KDSS?
Rails work with KDSS, the reason why One wouldn’t want to place the ladder in the middle is so you don’t block your visibility. This ladder is designed to be installed as shown. 😉
You don’t get a choice of where to install it. You install it EXACTLY where the manufacturer tells you to install it or else you are going to have issues. Also installing in the middle is a horrible idea for visibility
Have you ever thought about renaming the channel to, "Voyage Down the Rabbit Hole?" I can't believe how many things Toyota got wrong with the 4Runner! :))
Toyota got wrong?? I don't think that they got it wrong, I think if they added everything you'd want, it would be twice as expensive. Plus, something YOU may want on it others may not. Like a ladder. No offense @VikingsGarage but, I don't see the point. Especially if you don't have any kind of rack up top. I have filled my top with paddle boards kayaks, suitcases and numerous other things, and can't think of one time I wished I could have had access from the rear. And I'm not very tall. (5'8") I load everything from the sides and attach the tie downs by climbing on the tires and folded down seats. Even if I'm throwing a strap from front to back, I do it easy enough from the side. The ONLY reason I can think of getting a ladder, would be to use as storage, for recovery boards or fuel/water cans. I'd like to hear from others on what they use the ladder for. ✌🏻 Happy Trails 💜
I did mention several times that something is going on top there 🤷🏼♂️ Besides I love the way it looks, that’s all that matters. Do what makes you happy!! 😉
The mods looks great! Excited to see what coming!
🙏🏻🤘🏻

Absolutely!!
Love the green with black accessories! Your son is so sweet. Your house is beautiful! The ladder only for 200lb capacity 😮
Thank you 😊
( i realized the weight capacity, after the fact. a bit on the lower side… it will keep me in check has i usually weigh 200lbs 😅)
Great mods! Ready for Overlanding!!! I would replace the ladder bolts with black stainless steel and acorn nuts.
Already on it, got both bolts and nuts in black, just waiting on the black washers. 😉
(I’ll update you guys on the next one)
Great taste VG! This is looking so good. Glad little man is helping out already. He will be wrenching with dad very soon. God Bless!
He sure will, keeps telling me
“daddy I’ll fix your monster Truck “
I appreciate your support!! 🙏🏻
NICE work...your rig looks fantastic!
🙏🏻 Thank You!!

I love the Ladder!!
Your 4Runner is looking sharp! Nice ladder and wheels. The rock slidders look very clean and it would be easy to not notice them. Good job Dad.
Thank you Sir. I appreciate you watching!!
I love what you have done with this truck. But if I may, see if you can find some rubber nut covers for your ladder rack for added protection.👍
Vacuum caps for vacuum ports work well
Great idea guys, Thank You!!
(Although the whole things is getting also black out😜)
I just got the TRD ORP in Underground and been following your channel for ideas and instructions on the different installs. Was gonna get it in Army green but wasn't available to the 2024MY.
Welcome to the channel!!
Still a great color. 👏🏻
Enjoy your channel and your build! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you!! 🤘🏻
looks great I want some of those OEM sliders so clean function and form
They’re very reasonably priced too!! 👍🏻
The army green and bronz TRD wheels are a perfect match
I do agree, Thank You for watching Sir!!
Rock sliders look really good 👍🏻
Thank you, I do agree!!
you got those rock sliders, i think i saw them in PA and was thinking about it! nice pick up. my elderly family members need the steps or else id buy.
You’re absolutely right, I did get them in PA 😉
Another great video! Thank you again!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Super cool
🤘🏻

Nice Job Filho 👏👏👏 beijinhos dos teus pais Maria e César 💞❤️
Beijinhos mãe, obrigado!!
Looks really good with the rock sliders. What did you use to cover the holes in the body after removing the predator bars?
Body stick on covers, they come only on frame plug kit. It’s a kit given to us when replacing the Frame.
Looking good!
Thank you!!
Looking forward to the next mod!
Already working on it!! 😉
thanks for the video...Quick Question but rather on your tires...How would you rate those Nitto Grappler in terms of on-road noise ? thank you1
Honestly, I love them. Not noisy at all.
Do you know the part number for the bolts that you need to install the rock sliders?
I honestly don’t, they come with the rock sliders.
Ha, ha, I found your video on the OEM Rock Slider. Excellent. If I get a TRD Off Road with KDSS, will this OEM work with the KDSS. I'm too old to assume. Thanks.
It will only fit with modifications, it will interfere with some of the kdss lines mounting locations.

Mines a 19 TRD ORP with XP package as well. Tryin to find an affordable kit to lift as well.
@@VikingsGarage yeah I want to get my front end up a little and help with that nose dive at braking. I think the cheapest best option is just the bulstein 2.5” I believe but 🤷♂️
That’s actually a great proven option
@@VikingsGarage will the 2.Billstein bring it up even or will the back need to come up a little with 2.5” in front?
What are your thoughts about 10k mile changes? I cant do it and change it every 5k miles with a toyota filter and Penzoil. Love your videos. I changed my trans fluid following your instructions
👏🏻 on the Transmission fluid change 👏🏻
I change my oil every 5,000 miles (religiously) .
Penzoil is a good brand 👍🏻
Did you find that they stick out far enough to use as a step as well ?
They don’t stick out all that much. You can still use them as a step.
Nice
🙏🏻
love the ladder and your thought process. Are you not worried on Jersey climate vs. steel (instead of aluminum ?)
I did think of that, it will probably not hold up. W’ll see 🤷🏼♂️
You didn’t have to change the hatch shocks? Love the videos, and the army green
I was told that I should but, it holds her perfectly fine(it’s a fairly light ladder). 🤷🏼♂️
Great point- Totally forgot to mention it in the video(will do on the next episode)

@@VikingsGarage Toyota didn't get is wrong...Toyota provided the canvas for us to be creative and make each 4Runner our own.
