i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
First time watching your videos and I gotta say I am very impressed with the quality that goes in to them. A quirky, older, yet intelligent and humorous man with a badass rig! I enjoy your vloggy-install-update style as it is very unique. Keep up the work! Just bought a '19 Taco TRD Pro and i love exciting content from channels like yours
Found this on the web: When an engine requires lower levels of octane to “fire,” the overall efficiency of the engine is also lowered, which means the engine works harder to achieve the same results. However, less fuel burns, which means the overall fuel-per-mile efficiency is increased because the engine is working at a reduced compression rate. In short, you can get higher miles-per-gallon at higher elevations, but the power of the engine is also somewhat reduced.
Glenn McEnroe you may have misinterpreted what you read a little. Octane rating is a fuel’s ability to resist “knock” which is when a fuel prematurely detonates due to the heat produced by the fuel/air mix being compressed. The octane rating of fuel has nothing to do with how much fuel is burned in and of its self. The higher the compression ratio the higher the efficiency (and power output) of the engine. Also running higher octane fuel allows for more aggressive timing, which makes more power and is more fuel efficient. The lower density of the air at higher elevations means that for each rotation of the engine less air is being taken in and less fuel can be burned, this does not make the engine more fuel efficient. Part of the energy released by the burning of fuel goes to propelling the car, but a large portion of that energy also goes to overcoming fictional losses within the engine and driveline. So at higher elevations the engine makes less power (and burns less fuel) per rotation but the frictional losses remain the same, this means that a larger proportion of the energy generated is consumed by engine friction rather than propelling the vehicle. This means far worse fuel economy. This is part of the reason a lot of piston powered air craft have turbochargers.
@@shawn1928 the extremely simplified explanation is changing your ring and pinion gearing in the differentials to change how many revolutions of the driveshaft cause the wheels to make one revolution. It's usually done after going up several size tires to put less stress on the engine and transmission. It's similar to downshifting when you're going up a steep hill to more efficiently put power to the wheels. This can come at the cost of top speed depending on gear ratio and tire size.
Loving these videos, I just lifted my 2004 4runner 3 inches to add bigger tires to it and kind of want it to look like yours style wise. Love the videos man.
@Jason: Here’s what I figured out regarding the MPG’s: Reason #1: You gone from Florida (sea level) to Utah (not sea level) there by putting you further out on the earth’s circumference, so the 4 runner is actually 162 lbs lighter than it used to be. Reason #2: Florida’s atmosphere is really just water in a suspended state, and it’s actually an unexplained scientific mystery that the inhabitants in Florida don’t just drown. Also, water doesn’t burn that efficiently in your engine... Reason #C: Magic. I hope this helps explain things. AdventureWithDanan
IVE SEEN MANY , MANY INHABITANTS DROWN..............IN FL., I LIVE HERE.....WORK ,SWIM ,SURF, DIVE, FISH, NEED I GO ON ?.....OH SNAP! CIRCUMFERENCE. I THINK NOT! PERHAPS POSITION AND CONCORDANCE COULD BE THE CULPRIT. JUST A STONED THOUGHT.............PONDER THAT OR MAYBE ITS ALL JABBERWOCKY! YOU KNOW THOSE DARN MORMONS! GOT KUSH?
Lower humidity, is the simple way to say this. Logic is all that is needed. Like firewood, any fuel to air ratio, burns in a dryer state. Wet firewood, no burn efficiency. Damp/wet air mixture/condensation in fuel, no burn efficiency. This is also where the weight loss comes from. Also, you have less drag from the shape of the Steel bumpers and skids, compensating for the weight.
Good idea putting the bumpers for protection. My AZ neighbors busted their 4 runner up so bad when a huge elk jumped in front of them in our subdivision.
The fuel efficiency issue is a bit complicated. At higher elevations, the engine's octane requirement is deceased, which means the engine needs less octane to properly fire. This is why you can find 85 octane in high-elevation areas like Colorado, (instead of 87 octane). The engine's lower octane requirement also reduces the overall efficiency of the engine, which means the engine will have to work harder to achieve the same acceleration. Despite this loss in performance, less fuel is burned, which obviously results in a higher MPG. The reduced air resistance is also a factor, especially when travelling above 60 MPH. But the effects of a decreased octane requirement effect the MPG at all speeds. This is at least what I learned when I researched this while considering the effects of high altitude at drag races.
Peter Kowalcheck this is true but people don't generally change the fuel they burn in their engine during a trip. The other end of the equation is; 1- due to the lack of knock, the engine will advance it's timing further than it will at a higher barometric pressure. This increases efficiency slightly. 2- The lower amount of air and fuel in the cylinders reduces consumption at the same rpm. 3- Generally at cruising speed on the level you don't notice the reduced HP due to the thinner air you are pushing through. You only notice it when accelerating. All three factors come together to increase fuel economy at higher elevation.
I added 130+ lbs to the rear end of my Jeep JK with an LOD Offroad Destroyer. Combined with the front bumper mounted winch has resulted in some definite spring sag. I'm saving up for that suspension upgrade.
What is the part number of that rotopax mount? I want to mount 2x 2gallon containers on the exact same number. Also, part number of the high-lift mount?
More excited about the functionality the rear bumper gives you than the front though that is a major improvement as well. So sweet to bring down the jack, mount the rotopax, get the spare mounted up high and even a work table. Saweeet! How heavy is that sucker? CBI is a class act, hope to be able to do some upgrades there some day.
Bumpers look great. I really thought of going with a simple(no swing outs) bumper when I was rear ended a few weeks ago. @ 13:13 one of my recent favorite songs was playing.
We went with C4 full cover rear, no swing out, after we rear ended too last year. Plastic Bumper with painting comes to above 2k. Price wise, I would rather get a C4
Great videos on your channel, Jason. I like watching them, as I’m building up my 2014 SR5 for off-roading. It’s incredibly helpful to see the work it takes to complete these mods properly. I also use these videos as a guide to see if I can do the work myself, or if it’s a better option to have it done by a professional. Thank you and please keep recording your modifications. Also, good taste in music for your videos.
Jason - love your videos! Always fun to watch. Wondering what your next adventure will be. BTW - you need to update your profile build paragraphs with all your latest changes, ie Icon/Front Runner/CBI/....
Cold air will give you more power and fuel efficiency. Most of the time its going to be colder in elevations, especially compared to Florida. Multiple things more than likely contribute to the differences. As someone else mentioned the thinner air etc
Didn't want to read all the comments, the question may of already been answered with a better answer then mine, but with regards to better gas mileage at higher altitudes, your computer will always try to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio regardless of how much throttle input you give. If your vehicle were to use more gas with the thinner (or less) air, it would then be running rich. Hence you EFI system keeps the air fuel ratios in check so it uses less gas because of the less air at high altitudes. Of course it comes across feeling like it has less power.
Supercharge it, you’ll be happier. I put a Kenne Bell on my LJ. Night and day. It drives like stock but has passing power and will handle grades while pulling a trailer.
I have their "overland" springs, the heaviest/stiffest they offer. They are less stiff than the OME 899's I had before, and I haven't decided if I'll be changing back to the old ones or not.
Great!! I'm on the OME 898, their medium coils and they are crazy stiff. Will be putting on a rear bumper soon, but may drop to the 899s till. I have drawers, fridge, and a home. made solar generator with a Battle Born Lithium battery, full skids and still stiff stiff. your rig is looking fantastic.
At higher altitude, your air is thinner, less oxygen. Your computer will adjust fuel to match, so thinner air equals less fuel injected during the injection cycle. This is done to prevent the engine from from too rich.
The 4Runner has air dynamics of a brick. There is less air dynamic air resistance when driving at higher altitude because air is thinner (lower pressure and less density). I too noticed better gas mileage at higher altitude, especially at freeway speeds. This is why an airplane's wings have less lift at high altitude and also at higher air temperature. It's called - Density Altitude. Density altitude also increases with air temperature (air gets thinner). High moisture in the air also reduces air lift (and air resistance for a vehicle).
The reason why you have better mileage at ALTITUDE is that the Fuel -Air mixture is a lower ratio due to the less dense air at that altitude. Therefore, the fuel required to maintain the proper performance is less.
Jethronius Bronlo, yes, but not my question. The 4Runner can tow 5000lbs. If the bumper weighs 100lbs more than the factory, it just means you can only add 4900 more lbs. my question is, do CBI bumpers maintain the same tow rating as the factory. Can it still tow 5000lbs? Some bumpers change the hitch and no longer allow for the same tow rating.
Great rear bumper. I would have recommended getting CBI’s dual military gas can holder option instead of the Rotopax as each Wavian gas can holds about 5.3 gallons.
I didn't put a lot of thought into that as I believe I can add that later - great suggestion - PLUS, can't you get storage containers in that same size as well?
Use some Fluid film to keep those hold open spring pins from rusting, Still loving my Supercharged FJ, and now with the 30 Gallon Main tank, it is working really good. Pulling a trailer, the supercharger makes it really nice.
@@SwellRunner 4500 miles so far, no issues, so far, temps, fuel mileage. Automatic Transmission shifting in mountains, all great, and much improved. Getting ready to install a second fuel tank to give me a total of 60 gallons.
Possibly look into a camera off of a fj cruiser. They are in the factory wheel mount. Maybe add it to your new tire mount and extend the harness? Keep the videos coming! Fun to watch all your updates.
Nice mod with innovation,it is actually hard to setup front metal bumpers on that new 4Runner,because of it's wide radiator vent/grill and that massive plastic bumper which comes with the truck,you right now have the best 4x4 off-roader like a Jeep Wrangler,do you have plans for swapping the front ifs with a solid axle?
He is getting it ready now for extended trips. Or maybe he will end selling this 4Runner. You know how people get bored after fully building something.
We love your sharing. Thank you. I found this: Altitude decreases an engine’s octane requirements because of the change in air pressure. The higher elevations have a lower level of air pressure, which means an engine needs less octane to properly fire due to the lower ambient pressure. In certain states, such as Colorado where the altitude is generally above 5,000 feet in the mountain regions, 85 octane gasoline is sold, while in lower elevations 87 octane is the lowest sold. End Result When an engine requires lower levels of octane to “fire,” the overall efficiency of the engine is also lowered, which means the engine works harder to achieve the same results. However, less fuel burns, which means the overall fuel-per-mile efficiency is increased because the engine is working at a reduced compression rate. In short, you can get higher miles-per-gallon at higher elevations, but the power of the engine is also somewhat reduced.
In your video about the magnuson supercharger, I dont recall any Negatives other than the cost. Is cost the reason why you hesitate on the supercharger?
I installed front and rear off road bumpers and my over all mpg went from 16 to 14 on my old xterra. It might be it has 314,000 miles on it that it is not as fuel efficient as it use to be.
Fuel efficiency is better at altitude due to the air being less dense and effectively reducing its effects on aerodynamics. That bumper is a piece of art.
I disagree, the lower density of air at higher altitude is insignificant compared to the reduction to the horsepower unless he was going very fast. The density of air directly affects the hp.
@@ourkaravan That doesn't discount that the engine has to work harder to obtain that 14.7 ratio, as it requires more air at higher elevation than at sea level to reach the same ratio, due to the air being thinner.
@@boardskateguy and that higher throttle angle increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine. ;) I dunno, I'm out on this discussion. The only thing I can add is several of us with the same 4Runner all caravan together at the same speed and we all observe higher fuel efficiency at altitude. After supercharging mine I suddenly gained 1 mpg over everyone else I was traveling with. This only happens at elevation....at sea level my mileage is the same as the non-supercharged guys (and gals).
I've follow your videos for quite some time, but don't recall a few things. You mention that you (or others might)question the cost you will suffer in performance and gas mileage. We (4x4 scene) fully except that but in the same breath we try to gain it back where it is posable. The question I have is have you matched up your ring and pinion with the tire size you are running. With the trailer you are towing while you are exploring you may want to gear it a tad lower to take some of the strain off your powertrain? Anyways Love what you are doing and keep up the great work! Thanks David
Your build is goals for my new magnetic gray Runner! I LOVE that rear bumper, reminds me of an old '88 Bronco I used to have, with the rear tire swing. One more thing to add to my list of things I need from your vids lol. Would love to win that C4 bumper (#1 on my list from your videos lol) but don't see the giveaway link?
I don't know if i missed it have you done a video on the mpg's after the bumper installation and thanks for all the videos, its helping me slowly convince my wife, that i need to upgrade my 4 runner.
Hey Jason, thank you for the video. I was very curious about your thoughts on going with the full front bumper. Could you tell me where you got your storage drawer system? Thanks
I love swingouts on 4runners, not as much on tacos though. Your rig is looking beautiful!
CoLab trip with you and Jason would be a sweet vid!

You've mentioned supercharging the 4Runner a few times now, have you looked into re-gearing?
Exactly what i commented on his last video.
+Bryan McGrath what's re-gearing? (totally honest question)

Awesome bumpers Jason. I'll do the same thing but using ARB gear instead
I was so close to doing the arb front. Not in love with the look. But also kinda like it. And I’ve been happy with the arb durability
Jason - love your videos! Always fun to watch. Wondering what your next adventure will be.
BTW - you need to update your profile build paragraphs with all your latest changes, ie Icon/Front Runner/CBI/....
11?? Is that while wheeling? I don't have bumpers but have some extra weight and still get 16+ highway and 14 city.
So you went steel front and rear bumpers correct? Did you look into aluminum to save weight?
Cold air will give you more power and fuel efficiency. Most of the time its going to be colder in elevations, especially compared to Florida. Multiple things more than likely contribute to the differences. As someone else mentioned the thinner air etc
Who is it that did the install?
I think he said the CBI guy’s name is Mike
Can you make a video of what you've done to your truck and costs?

The safety issue when adding weight is that your breaking distance increases noticeably, sooner or later you may have to think about a break upgrade.
Agreed. I have slotted rotors as well.

The ECU adjusts fuel distribution based on oxygen intake monitored by o2 sensors and map or maf sensors. Less oxygen read, less fuel sent.
CLEAN THE MAP, CLEAN THE MAP........DO IT NOW PEOPLE!
4.56-4.88s will pick up as well. Gearing helps.
At higher altitude, your air is thinner, less oxygen. Your computer will adjust fuel to match, so thinner air equals less fuel injected during the injection cycle. This is done to prevent the engine from from too rich.

Do people regear 4Runners? maybe thatll help?
Nice chair, I'm sitting in the same one right now :)
I installed front and rear off road bumpers and my over all mpg went from 16 to 14 on my old xterra. It might be it has 314,000 miles on it that it is not as fuel efficient as it use to be.
Does your bumper work with toyota safety sence?
Look forward to your re-gear movie.
Question? What type of storage boxes do you use?
put the fj cruiser camera i think cbi sell an extension for the fj steel bumper which should bolt right on
Hi where do you get that bumper from
Maybe thinner air due to altitude may have an affect on mileage?
Fuel efficiency is better at altitude due to the air being less dense and effectively reducing its effects on aerodynamics. That bumper is a piece of art.
I disagree, the lower density of air at higher altitude is insignificant compared to the reduction to the horsepower unless he was going very fast. The density of air directly affects the hp.
Its more attributed to the engine needing less fuel since the air is thinner at altitude.
On a fuel injected vehicle the ECU will keep at the air fuel ratio at 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel no matter what.
@@ourkaravan That doesn't discount that the engine has to work harder to obtain that 14.7 ratio, as it requires more air at higher elevation than at sea level to reach the same ratio, due to the air being thinner.
@@boardskateguy and that higher throttle angle increases the volumetric efficiency of the engine. ;) I dunno, I'm out on this discussion. The only thing I can add is several of us with the same 4Runner all caravan together at the same speed and we all observe higher fuel efficiency at altitude. After supercharging mine I suddenly gained 1 mpg over everyone else I was traveling with. This only happens at elevation....at sea level my mileage is the same as the non-supercharged guys (and gals).
Do they also make these new front and rear bumper out of aluminum?
Front yes. Rear I don’t think so. Could be wrong.
@@SwellRunner Thank you,
What’s the black lining the guy puts on the bumper after he cuts it?
donald tran - Try Amazon or Google and look for "Edge trim black"
Good luck !
Im probably late but you should just put a 4.88 ring/pinion gear in the rear for all the extra weight?
I'm curious of your background and what made you want this as a lifestyle in the 1st place. You should make that video one day.
Bumpers and armor looks great. But there is going to have to be version 2.0 for your logo with the swing outs on back and new rear bumper.
I've follow your videos for quite some time, but don't recall a few things. You mention that you (or others might)question the cost you will suffer in performance and gas mileage. We (4x4 scene) fully except that but in the same breath we try to gain it back where it is posable. The question I have is have you matched up your ring and pinion with the tire size you are running. With the trailer you are towing while you are exploring you may want to gear it a tad lower to take some of the strain off your powertrain? Anyways Love what you are doing and keep up the great work! Thanks David
im sure this has been asked but what does the total $ for front/rear parts with install and alignment?
Your build is goals for my new magnetic gray Runner! I LOVE that rear bumper, reminds me of an old '88 Bronco I used to have, with the rear tire swing. One more thing to add to my list of things I need from your vids lol. Would love to win that C4 bumper (#1 on my list from your videos lol) but don't see the giveaway link?
Wish the 4Runner could seat at least 6 to accommodate my family. Having trouble finding a good everyday/off-road options that seat at least 6.
I don't know if i missed it have you done a video on the mpg's after the bumper installation and thanks for all the videos, its helping me slowly convince my wife, that i need to upgrade my 4 runner.
Hey Jason, thank you for the video. I was very curious about your thoughts on going with the full front bumper. Could you tell me where you got your storage drawer system? Thanks
Did you drive from florida to idaho to have it installed???
Andrew Le - things we do to get sponsorship
Why not aluminum bumpers?
How come you took the stock wheels off????
Much love but can we turn the music Down? Way down :)
I’m trying to enter to win the bumper but I’m not sure it’s working from the app and other way?
im curious to see what effect that has on your mileage?
I’m torn between the 4Runner and tundra as far as which has the longest serviceability
And there's a TLC lurking in the gerage 💪👍
Driveway dream!
Who did this install?
Is your spine fused?
You've given us current fuel economy, but maybe you could do a 0-60 mph time to give us an idea of the power you do or don't have. Cool upgrades.
