-not planning on ditch light brackets
-don’t have a 4runner
-stayed to the end
-would never miss a Patrick Remington video
Agreed, quality content
Haha Heck yeah! Thanks for the support! You probably already know this but it was your comment that I was talking about at the end. 😂😂 Thanks for that!
@@PatrickRemington indeed, it made my day, I was trying to be humble but since you mention it… Booyah! Oh yah! It was me!
Thanks for the video. Exactly what I needed to make brackets for my 2005 Dodge Ram. However, I’m not a welder. Could I use something like JB Weld for the joints?
@@jamesmharvey that's a great question I don't see why not, or buy a cheap Flux Core & practice 🤔
If this video helps just one person, it will have been worth it.
Yes your vids do Help. Don't forget that what you do & are Sharing also Inspires people as well.
Most of the stuff you build are probably not something that I need to specifically build. Your creativity and willingness to try are the reasons I watch your videos. Those qualities are universally valuable and rare to find these days.
1st generation nissan xterra here..but I used your ideas and modified them to work for me..your awesome..
This is exactly what I was thinking of doing instead of spending 150 on mounts when I have the tools
I watched till the end and have never owned a Toyota anything. I still enjoyed the watch. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
I don’t own a runner.
I hadn’t even heard of a ditch light.
I thoroughly appreciate your ideas and aspirations to get better at your skills.
Thanks you for that! I really appreciate that you watched even though you didn’t need what I was building. That’s awesome
- Watched it for over 10 times now,
- I have my lights but no brackets! You have encouraged me to build my own.
- Unfortunately I have no tools or machine except pliers & hammer but I am still determined.
- I stayed till the end every time I watched your video
- Me & my Dad love those who build stuff, like we do with whatever tools we have!
- Sending my best wishes from India!!
I have a 2000 Montero Sport that I've been following these videos for my overland setup on it. I like your videos because they're simple, to the point, and budget friendly. Very easy to watch all the way through
Thanks man! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos! Got any plans for your rig?
@@PatrickRemington I got it with front end collision (basically just plastic bumper damage) so I'm currently working on getting a winch bumper made and light solutions. The roof rack is similar in design from factory as the 4runner so I'm going to try and get a rack built like yours (just gotta work around the sunroof) and add some basic rock sliders, then it's on to lift kit and bigger wheels and tires. Just kinda all the basics needed to really do some overland camping for now. Long term I'll go engine swap and solid axle with lockers along with a body lift and step up tire size again. Somewhere in there get some on board air and dual battery setup. It's my daily so I'm not looking to gut the interior, but still deciding on either roof top tent or like an annex off the hatch to camp in the interior. Lots of decisions along the way. It's currently pretty much stock besides some spot lights, tires, high output alternator, and a roof basket. Few trips I've had it on in the Washington mountains it's done great though. Definitely on par or better than the typical Tacoma's or jeeps I go out with as far as off-road capability goes. Only place it lacks is aftermarket support.
@@faitkeeper Dang! sounds like you need a TH-cam channel for that thing! haha! That's awesome! Good luck with all your projects!
@@PatrickRemington you may be right 🤔 if I ever make one I'll link it for you
I Have a 98 XJ jeep and will be exploring this idea for mine.. THANKS!!
Nice! you are welcome!
This video helped me build my brackets for my 2017 tacoma. Ditch brackets are usually 80 bucks for some bent metal, so I bent it myself after this video. Awesome. Thanks Patrick.
Currently camping out of my '01 Sierra just about every weekend and building as I go for my level/style. Realized last weekend that I definitely need more lights but hadn't planned out how to mount them, I now know the direction I'm going to be looking.. Stumbled onto your channel looking for awning ideas, found them as well. Definitely appreciate you and the fab work you put into it all. Keep up the solid work!!
Funny thing is that I don't have a need for ditch lights but after this, I want one.
Planning ditch lights, no 4runner (2019 Ram and 2000 XJ). I just love DIY stuff. LOVE IT !!
Nice! Thank you!
Every time you did a test fit with it sandwiched between the hood and hinge, I was like "come on!". The end was a pleasant surprise haha.
2nd gen sequoia here... I do need ditch light brackets because nobody makes anything for this truck but I really just enjoy watching you build stuff.
Man, that means a lot! Thanks for the support!
I do not own that vehicle, but an older Dodge Ram that nobody makes ditch light brackets for. I did stay and watch the entire video, THANK YOU! This helped and gave me ideas and tips for making my own brackets.
And I subscribed to your channel!
I absolutely stayed until the end, I do with all your videos!
Thanks man! I appreciate that!
Just ran across your videos. Stayed to the end to get tips on my own DIY projects. No ditch lights, no 4Runner, and I just borrowed a welder to refresh my welding skills. Subscribed!!
The first time I watched the video had no need for the brackets. Now starting on a project 1st gen toyota pickup i will be adding ditch lights using your method looking forward to putting them on the truck. Love your videos.
Patrick, I have a 5th gen, but I love the DIY tips and tricks to make our 'Runners awesome! You are definitely one of the people who keep me motivated to make my rig my own! Keep up all the good work my friend!
That’s Awesome man! That means a lot! Thank you!
Planning on a set on my 93 K1500. Thank you for this video, it will help immensely.
2010 Ford F-150 FX4, stayed to the end! Good info that carries over to any vehicle. Thanks brother! Good work, thinking about doing the same but using a torch to heat the steel up and bend it. I don't have a welder, and I hope that works.
Stayed till the end because all of your work is truly inspiring! Keep on keeping on!
Indeed, I don't own a 4Runner, nor have the need to build off-road lights brackets (I got them on ebay for the lights on my truck) but your videos are awesome to watch, in every one of them I have learned very useful DIY techniques that I ended up applying to different projects, thanks for being an inspiration 👍👍
Pretty sure I'll try something like this on my FJ. Nothing worse than the current solutions that use the side cowls to mount a bracket under. Once you pop them off, even with replacement clips, they never stay on well after that. Thanks as always. I love the ideas and they are a great inspiration!
Don’t have a Toyota but am looking to make some custom brackets and this gave me some great ideas! Nicely done!
Great video! I like seeing people hone their skills! Great job! I have a Jeep Cherokee, the process is still the same. Thank you for the time you put into your videos, I appreciate it!
Thank you! I love Cherokees I appreciate you watching!
Looks like a great, relatively quick, project. I’ve been considering doing the same for some pod lights a buddy gave me. Thanks for the inspiration!
and cheap! You are welcome!
Don't own a 3rd Gen.. don't have ditch lights (yet) but stayed for the tips, tricks, DIY, and great ideas!
Had to make an antenna bracket for my Nissan, about to make more brackets for lights, this is a helpful video for tricks on fitment, thank you
The technique is definitely useful. I have a few places I could utilize that bent wire trick. I just bought some of these lights to turn into portable flood lights that will run off my drill batteries.
Own a Jeep. Still never miss a video. Too much good info and too good of ideas to miss.
Don't own a 4runner but used your methods to build some mounts for an 04 Trailblazer. Thanks!
-don't have a 4runner
-stayed to the end
In the process of making one for my 1st gen Titan, great go to channel for ideas. Thank you for the great advice and keeping us motivated to diy.
Awesome idea and craftsmanship!
Ha! 13:55 is totally me. Found your videos a week-10 days ago regarding 270 awnings. Liked the way you show and explain things so I subscribed. Glad I did. While I don't have a need of ditch lights (yet), I find learning techniques are never a waste of time.
The desire to learn welding goes back to mid-70s high school when girls couldn't take shop. Last week I mentioned to my husband's cousin I'd been watching videos and still REALLY want to learn welding...and today got an invite for a few lessons. Woohoo
That’s awesome! So glad you are getting some lessons! It’s so much fun!
I definitely don't own a 4 Runner or Toyota but I always watch your DIY videos all the way through. Because knowledge and being self aware of my skills is important.
I’m making some this week for my fj c. Inspired!
I stayed to learn the process, new to car mods, need to make a bracket for my 1st gen crv, this was just the information I needed, thanks for making the video!
I do not own a Toyota 4runner drive a 2022 ram rebel, but I stayed for the entire video and now I want to fab my own brackets
Nice!
Have watched many of your videos.
I don’t have a 4 runner ,, not getting one.
Don’t have ditch lights,, but thinking about them now for my ford ranger pickup truck
Stayed to end and always do.
Your a inspiration for many people on how to do things in a different way and still have a good product.
Thanks

thank you! you do not know how much that means to hear that ❤
I'm working on a Chevy Astro van. It needs lights and I also watched your video on the roof rack. I was relieved that you moved your light bracket below the hinge!
2nd Gen 1999 Astro AWD, your videos are great and have given me a ton of ideas for my van. Thanks brother!
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
I needed an idea to run with for my ditch lights, although I’m not a Yota owner, I do own a 95 XJ sport and building my overlanding dream Jeep.
Stayed until the end of the video and subscribed.
This is awesome! Learned a lot. Im trying to make some ditch light brackets for a 2013 Mazda Cx-5.
While this was made for a 3rd Gen, I plan on using the same concept on my 97 Jeep ZJ. I think it will look just as good. Great video. Thanks.
I am doing the same on my 96 suburban that I am building as a overlander. Good job.
1st gen sequoia, planning to add ditch lights in the future. Stayed to the end and appreciate the ideas for building a set for my tree.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Don’t have either but am planning on diy’ng and installing on my Honda Fit so, thank you!
I own exactly zero forerunners, but this gave me some ideas for my F250. Thanks for posting this video. Nice work, as usual.
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
Your videos are great. Always cool builds. No ditch lights but liked the build and learned something. Thank you.
Thank you for the support man!
No 3rd gen (do have a 4th gen though) no ditch lights. Love your videos man. Been watching since the very first roof top tent build.
Same
Thanks, man! I really appreciate it! 🙏🙏
Don't think I need ditch lights. HOWEVER for years I've thought about making tie down points for the front of my canoe. This will be PERFECT for that and I recently bought a little 120v multi-process Lincoln welder and am learning Mig and Tig with it. So no ditch lights, but an absolute PERFECT video for me! Thank you! Subscribed!
Hey Patrick, you do great work all the way around. Love the Prinsu style rack and awning. I don't have ditch lights, may at some point, don't have a 4Runner, but I do have a Tundra. Great video.
I don't have a 3rd gen or a need for ditch lights. But it's always good to learn new techniques on how to do thing. Like using the wire bad thinner metal to rough in the look you want.
I don’t own a 4 Runner
Stayed to the end
Gave me an idea for my 4x4 Express
Thanks
First video of yours I have seen
Thanks for making this! I’m going to make some for my 3rd gen !
Heck yeah!
Imma use the same method to build for my outlander sport so thank you it was helpful!
Only have a F250 but I’m totally putting ditch lights on! Watched till the end.
Own a 3rd gen but not planning on ditch lights. Actually interested in making a single bracket to mount a ham radio antenna to my GX460. Great video
I don't have a 4x4 but I still watch to the end. I like DIY!
Awesome! Thank you!
Always enjoy your videos.
Another great video. I don’t own a Toyota, and I’m. It sure I’ll have the same ditch lights. But I sure stayed to the end! Good work bud.
Was going to comment on the bracket placement, but saw you corrected it at the end 👍
Awesome gave me the idea to fab some of my own brackets for an 03 ranger
Building these next weekend!
I don't have a 4runner, but this did show me how to make my own ditch bracket, so thanks for that
i was really ready for the explanation about the hinges haha, great vid earned a sub
I have a 2009 Hyundai Sonata. Those would be PERFECT to mount some lights for driving on the back roads on my way to work at 4 am! Ditch lights?...no, Deer lights! Awesome video brother!
I don’t own a 4runner but I do have a Xterra and didn’t want to spend $100 just for brackets and this is exactly what I needed so thank you!
- I drive a *issan
- I might install ditch lights
- I rode this bad boy out ...
- I think the concept is transferable !!! Great stuff.
Nice! Thanks 🙏
Great build, I have a second gen Tundra, I’m definitely gonna follow your plan. Thank you!
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching
You're welcome!
I do need ditch lights, but do not have a 4 Runner, I have a 2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS which has zero aftermarket support so all things need to be custom made. You inspired me to try making some brackets. Thanks
Nicely done video!
I like it. I'm going to make something similar for my JK and Wagoneer. Thanks.
I just stayed until the end. Great video, wish i had half your tools to do it.
Own a F250
Did not need ditch light brackets
Definitely stayed to the end
100% agree the difference between professional and DIY is rounded corners
I don't have a Toyota, but did stay to the end. Great video!
I'm a first time viewer of your content. I thought you did just fine 😃. I'm waiting for a mig welder I ordered recently and hope to do some projects soon.
I dont own a 4runner but i do owna jeep and i watched till the end. Awesome. Really like your videos
I don’t even like 4Runners. Wanting to build a bracket to link 9 led light pods for my Tahoe. Very helpful video
Greetings from Russia. I don't have a third generation 4 Runner, I have a Grand Cherokee WK. But I watched your video to the end with interest. )) Good job!
I don't own a Toyota, and I don't plan on running ditch lights on my jeep but I love the fab, great job!
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Hey man I dont have a third gen but I love your ideas and will definitely use them for my rig. I watch all your vids. Great job keep it up
Thank you for the support! I really appreciate it!
Another rad video!! Own a 5th gen, stayed till the end,
Sweet! Thank you!
Need ditch lights, but don’t have the same vehicle. Video was still helpful on making a template, so thank you regardless!
I like them. I'm going to make some for my 2000 4runner. Very nice work buddy!
Heck yeah! Thank you!
@@PatrickRemington well even if people have other vehicles it's a great explanation of how it works for 4runners, and can easily be translated to others. I bet I could make the same for several other vehicles based on the way you made that.
Preety solid work mate.
Was thinking of putting 1 but wasn't sure on how to make the brackets. Will definitely do a bracket for prado 90 series.
Love ur work buddy
Thank you!! 🙌
I have no need for Ditch light brackets, don't have a Toyota, and still watched till the end. love your videos.
I do not need ditch light brackets and do not have a toyota at all. However, having watched several of your other vids on fabricating, which ill likely use for a rack system on my truck, i have learned a tremendous amount from watching. I think ill be able to use those tips for other fabrication in the future.
Thanks for the great content you produce. I know it takes a lot of extra work to film and edit, but I find it very valuable.
Thanks for watching!! And I appreciate the kind words!
Will be adapting this to my 5th gen.
I'll be utilizing C.A.D. (cardboard assisted design) for mockup.
Heck yeah! Love some CAD
Hello, starting following you great videos. I don’t have a 4runner, I have a Honda Element car camper, I’ve been wanting to add lights to the front area. I found this video very helpful.
Glad to help!
Thinking about this for my 06 Tacoma.
ah yea - no lights - no 3rd gen - stayed till the end MOSTLY to see if you'd figure out the over/under hinge mounting!! haha what a relief that you did!
Thanks for the inspiration while building out my '97 suburban overlander
I ordered the mp 200 from yes weld kick starter campaign an am looking forward to using this idea to build some light mount for my truck
also your attention to detail in the end took this project form "did you make that ?" to "where did you buy that ? "
Thank you! That's what this channel is all about! I never want my projects to look diy if I can help it
Gave me some ideas for ditch lights for my 03 GMC Sierra thanks
That's awesome! Glad to help!
Just as I was going to comment on the placement of the bracket between the hinge and hood, you corrected it. Glad I finished the video even if I have a Ranger. Could be handy if I ever "think I need ditch lights". lol.
haha everyone needs ditch lights man.. I look so much cooler when I go do my grocery pickup 😂😂
@@PatrickRemington haha. I can see myself now, looking cool with those lights on my truck
@@youandicandiy5794 Mission accomplished!
Lol I was actually looking for diy mounting brackets for a diy linear actuator I'm making, :( but having no luck. I watched til the end for any tips/tricks ideas, I don't have a 4runner (Lol, but do have a Laredo.), don't intend on making ditch lights brackets, but enjoyed the diy info in case I ever need similar brackets (which could happen, ALWAYS DIYING.)...
Great video!
Patrick, I absolutely love your videos. Your work is professional quality yet all diy; gives you that "I can do this" feeling... very inspirational.
And no 4Runner here, just an awesome Ford E350 for outdoor adventures with my son!
Nice! Thanks for saying that.. Somedays I feel like my some of my videos suck so thanks for that!
@@PatrickRemington I've yet to do a single one of your videos that suck, and I've seen a lot of your videos. Many of us have seen most of your videos and I'll often watch your videos completely unrelated to my life simply because you have great ideas.
And don't worry bud, even if a video sucks by your standards, we understand that everyone has off days. Not even machines run at 100%. Well, except Toyotas 😂
Keep up the good work and most importantly, make sure you're having fun doing it.

Great video. I'm going to give this a try for my 21 Expedition. Can't find brackets for love or money.
So I dont have a 3rd Gen, but I do have a WK2 Grand Cherokee and the only place I see ditch light mounts has them back ordered. So I have been wanting to fab some but was worried bc I dont have a metal brake or anything to bend thick metal. Your video gave me that notching idea and I will probably be looking at doing the in the next few weeks. Great video and very informative.
Glad to help
