Wicked ride. Can't wait to build my 4th gen later on. Keeping it simple on mine. Trd wheels, 31s, 1.25 inch lift. Bike rack. Camping gear again. Small roof rack. No runner boards or flaps. Done. 💪
Just got mine. Beautiful up top with Shadow Mica. Updated led lights inside and out. Pioneer touch screen with Bluetooth. Magna Flow exhaust. It's stunning. I live in Georgia and from ground level it appears to be undercoated.... After I purchased my mechanic showed me underneath while on a lift.... I'm stuck with some rust. First ever 4Runner and I love it besides that...
Great build. I have the JBA Off-road upper control arms on my 16 4Runner as well. FYI, JBA recommends lubing the UCA’s every 5000 miles. The bushings and ball joints. Just be careful on what grease you lube them with. Their website says what grease they recommend.
You need to put in a manual shift transfer case from a fj cruiser. I did mine and love it, no more electric solenoid to worry about going out( which mine did). But it looks great
I was wondering the same thing I have heard nothing but good stuff about the V6 in these 4Runners. The V8 being legendary for hitting a million miles. I don’t see a reason to have to rebuild an engine with no indication that there could be a problem. Solid engine but it is still a high mileage vehicle so I’d still keep some money set aside as a oops fund before you start spending on modifications.
My mechanic discovered metal in the oil pan after I dropped it off with him for inspection after I purchased it. My plan is to give this to my son whenever he turns 16 so I wanted to make it as solid and reliable as possible. Engine rebuild & new transmission ran me about $15,000 but worth it for the peace of mind.
My 4 runner has 250k hard miles on it and it’s still ticking. Like he said I wouldn’t worry unless you have visible issues. You can send your oil off for testing and get an idea of what’s going on inside but I wouldn’t worry. If you have the money to spend on a engine rebuild then just build it when it goes out lol no sweat
I was considering getting a set of 33" tires, but I am wondering if I go to a 34, or 35" would that put a lot of wear or break any parts? Not sure if its worth the risk. You have the 34s. Thoughts? 4th Gen 4Runner V6 285/70 R17 - 33s 295/70 R17 - 34s 255/85 R17 - 35s (but having issues finding rims to fit)
Lots of factors to consider here, if you have aftermarket, upgrades suspension components then you'll most likely be okay. You'll just notice that it'll become a little more sluggish than before, fix to that is re-gearing. I originally had 35's but stepped down a size because of the look and I didn't want to chop anymore than I already had.

I have a 06 4Runner and have 354k miles currently! I'm a huge Toyota enthusiast, and I'm also in Alabama. Keep the content coming. It looks great!
@@adampriebe8941 Awesome! Hopefully we’ll cross paths one day!

Nice apocalypse-ready vehicle.😆
Love the build!

Thanks for the suggestion!
lookin good man!!!!
Build looks great man! I would do the exact same thing as you in terms of the engine rebuild.
Very very nice
Does the rack ever vibrate while driving in the freeway or off-roading?
Love the build! Would love to hear the exhaust!
I thought I threw a clip in at the end, it sounds great, maybe a little too heavy when throttling.
How much did you get it for? Looking at a couple right now
Great 4Runner. Can you share any more about your headlights and where you got them? I have an 04 4Runner as well and was looking for options. Thanks!
I believe they were from 4Runner Lifestyle but I could be mistaken.
as a pre face lift owner I ask where do we get some cool headlights . like the ones u have are cool
Thanks! I believe I got them from 4Runner Lifestyle
This dude said he wants to make it quick but didn’t start until 3:51 into it - lol
Was there any reason for the engine rebuild? I just picked up an 07 sr5 with almost 200k. Wondering if I should do the same but it’s running great.
Bump^

Correct me if im wrong put it looks like your bumper isnt fully welded? All I see are tack welds along the edges
It was being test fitted during this video, I ended up welding it completely

4th Gen 4Runner V6
285/70 R17 - 33s
295/70 R17 - 34s

If its the V6 I would say no. 4th gen its v8 or no for me.
What colour is that? It looks like a creme colour. Its nice. Wanting to paint mine from the ugly blue
It is the factory white!
Might just be the camera, but i think i want a cream white 4runner now lol
How many miles do u have on this truck? Nice build!
280,000!
Roughly how much did the engine rebuild cost?
Engine & transmission both were around $5,200 all in
@@peakoffroad that’s not to bad honestly may be doing mine for it’s 200k mile
they are rancho up front
Climber?
