Breaking our 4th Gen 4Runner in Moab
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The Team drug the car out to Moab for some seat time and some final bashing on the mostly stock setup. We had a blast finding some new weak points on the car and we are ready to get to building on some stronger components and some major changes!
The Sherpa Motorsports crew building their 4628 Ultra4 Spec Racecar from start to finish to race in King of the Hammers and many other races across the US. We are hoping to show others that you can get into Off-road racing with a little investment and lots of blood, sweat, and tears. Follow along as we make this dream of ours a reality.

4runner 4lyfe!
those bolts on the door wow. the stwiches wow. the battery diesconnect upfront. Passanger handle bars WOW. Is that manual shifter for low hi?
Nice vid!! Love to see 4th gens doing real off road. Love the rig :D
Thanks!
Grey overlander taco for the win.
I shredded my rear Dif in my fourth GEN forerunner about a month ago and the second it made that noise I knew what it was.
Good stuff. Hope to catch y’all on the trails
Thanks!
Nice shake down vid! You gotta break it to see what it can handle at KOH. The rear diff actually did better than I thought it would. Basically the same diff as a 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen 4runner. All the weight and torque of the 4th gen is tough on them. I have plans for Nitro 4:56s on my 03'.
Tacoma's were gettin it done, and the 3rd gen T4R proves why it's one the most durable, capable and versatile trucks in off road history. You guys look like a really fun crew! Parting shots were hilarious!
Yea. The rear diff was certainly not the weak point on this trip. Crazy the axle shaft gave out first.
Love the video guys! Would love to get out there with you guys soon!
Thanks! Hopefully we can get some people together once Covid blows over.
Good luck 👍
Im surprised yall havent gone SAS yet on this rig
You need to lower your tire pressure.
You must deflate your tires the next time
We run our tires at race pressure. Helps avoid flats in racing and good practice when not racing.
Interesting to watch and appreciate the test of forced destruction of the 4 Gen. I now have a good idea of what not to do. Note to viewers. Only to this with bunch of handy buddies with parts in middle of know where. 😝😝✅✅.
I need that rear bumper!!! The stock one doesn’t have so much clearance. What is the one you have called?
We built it ourselves
Such a great video. Can’t wait to graduate high school and starting working on my 4Runner. Do you guys makes Sherpa window stickers or anything of that sort? 😅 definitely would want some.!
What suspension setup are you running? Mid travel just uca with bolt on rears? Or do you have long travel extended uca and shock relocation? Also how much travel front and rear?
They’re running a custom setup in the rear, shock hoop with 16” shock I believe, for the front also custom, 8” Coil-Over with a custom shock hoop mount, and SPC upper control arms
@@arielsangoquiza3730 Pretty close. We run a very custom setup for stock arms. Its a 14" shock in the rear on a custom shock tower. In the front we also made a custom tower for the coilover and we run an 8" coilover. Each corner has a 2"x2" Hydro bump as well. Then the we do run SPC Upper arms to get our alignment back to spec having our lower control arm pushed forward for tire clearance.
Where’d you get those headlights? They’re sick!
BXBuilt makes these headlights! Amazing quality and top notch customer service.
do you think the breakage was due to the stock components? (obviously the shock mount is different, but the tie rod and axle shaft) I've been wanting to take my 4th gen on 35s to Moab, but seeing this I'm wondering if I should take it easier.
We were pushing it hard when we broke it. If you wheel within your means you will not have any issues.
@@sherpaec good deal! been wheeling Jeeps for 15 years and this is my first 4Runner build. I'm familiar with Moab, but never been in my 4runner. thanks for the info!
OEM axles are actually one of the toughest but you don't want to to put anything stronger because something else will break if not an axle, such as diff, u-joints or worse. There should always be a weak point and it's better when it's cheapest.
@@hikeroutpost cheapest, or easiest to replace on the trail. ;)
Yeah idk why they made the tacoma and 4runner tie rods with different thread pitches. I first ran into this issue when I had tacoma tie rod extensions for my long travel kit and then had to go back and order 4runner tie rod extensions. SMH Toyota
Pretty silly if you ask me!
"Isn't the gross weight of a Tacoma a little bit more heavier than the gross weight of a stock 4runner?"
Dude's logic matches his style hahah
My 4 runner is so rusted that the brakes lines are leaking fix my car 😭
BRO!!!It's so PAINFUL to watch this!!
Guess what, time for SAS
Booo
Not on a race truck 😂 definitely prefer ifs
Very cool - any performance mods to the engine?
Intake and Exhaust but thats it.
Damn Jeeps are just better. I want to see a 4Runner do what a Cherokee can do
lol
Land cruiser won 5 times in a row in Baja race. Land cruiser FJ Cruiser would of done better.
My buddys xj is way better🙄....this 4th tcase replacement should get him through the summer. In all seriousness though, xj’s are super tough.
For sure. 400,000 mile jeeps everywhere still going strong… or wait. That’s Toyotas
