For any 3rd Gen, when replacing the front struts, its worth replacing the lower ball joints and control arm bushings at the same time as well (assuming they haven't already been replaced). And possibly the outer tie rod ends if they need it. Then get an alignment. Takes a lot more than 5 minutes, but I get your marketing strategy.
This is a good call out. May as well take care of it while your already under there.
Just the lower ball joints. Only do the rest if they're loose.
Your right them lower balljoints will not make noise if they're ready to drop.
Now the CB boots and sway arm, bushings and control arm, bushings can all rip apart
Enjoying the vlog style buddy and 4Runner is looking so good !!
Thank you bro!
Address that frame rust when you have all those suspension parts off. Well worth the time.
Beautiful transformation, awesome
Thanks!
Mamma Mia!! Beautiful 4 Runner
Thanks!!
I did a mild build 3 inch rough country lift, 285+70 +16 in. Tires. A couple light bars. Outside of that mostly stock I couldn't ask for a better truck.❤❤
Looks badass!
Thank you!
Nice Clean Look! Friend just offered me a 2016 looking to do sum mods to it as well
Very happy to have come across your channel, the videos have been helping me with working on my own 3rd gen. Would you be able to tell me the specific specs of the Pro Comp wheels you used on both 4runners in the video? Thanks man and keep the videos coming!
I'm glad to hear that!
97 Series Rock Crawler, 17x9 Wheel with 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern - Flat Black - 97-7983F
Part #PCW97-7983F
Much respect!
Thank you!
Made the rear suspension look easy lol nice truck
Thanks haha
This one's not actually mine, was just doing some work for the owner.
Mine is the green one at the end of the video
Your truck looks great also one of the best colors 👍
@@JoeBlunt thank you!
i agree with everthing here ecept for one thing which is personal for me which is that i would fit narrower offroad tires instead of wide ones
This 4Runner looks sick! And it only took you 5 mins to do eh ;)
Thanks bro!
Ya got it all done in just over 5 mins hahah
@@aramschannelyou are FAST. Im buying a 3rd GEN 97 from this dude heading back to Africa in 3 months. Almost ZERO rust on the frame. 2,000!!!! I must say I’ve driven a 4Runner and my buddy had a 96 for over 15 years and they are awesome but my Isuzu Rodeo is way more fun to drive, BUT you can’t beat the Toyota reliability.
I have had two 3rd generation 4Runners I absolutely refuse to drive anything else.❤😁👍
Off the hook bro
Thank you!
Loved the video! What type of hood shield is that? Looking clean man.
Thank you!
It's an AVS hood deflector. Amazon should have it
Man i just got mine tofay in the same color and this looks meaaaaan
Yes!!👍🏾
Sick build I’m a huge fan of the offset and wider wheels. I want to do something similar but worry about rub. Did you experience any with this build?
Ya definitely a bit of rub but nothing serious. It's pretty easy to fix with some trimming and hammering.
Or you can get adjustable upper control arms and get a good alignment then you won't rub at all
Your 4 runners look nice man they look clean. I have been debating on doing something similar with my 96 toyota t100, and that's doing a custom front mesh grill with the lettering. How'd you end up making and fabricating your grill over stock? I'd like to that with my truck. And could you give me details on your custom bumper also.
Thank you!
I actually have a video for both the bumper and the grill.
Bumper is from coastal offroad and the grill is just custom made.
Have a look at the videos and see what you think
@aramschannel Will do I'll check them out
DIY some retrofits and if you live in a place where things get rusty, get snowbound customs osr kit…it’s well worth $220. Of the RC shocks ride bad I recommend fox 2.0’s from accutune. They’ll tune it to your rig for free and they’re only $400.
This 4runner is not actually mine but the owner has some retrofits on order.
The RC's are actually not bad at all, I used to have them on my 4runner but now I have 4th/5th gen bilstein 5100s.
I'll check out those fox's!
Hey man what was the wheel setup on this love the look
Thanks!
It was 97 series procomp wheels with 285/70/17 mickey thomspon mtz tires
Hi good looking 4runner! Where did you get the front grill from?
Thanks I made it!
I have a video on it, you can check it out
Doing a similar build for the front 881s but with tundra 5 adjustable shock- how much lift did the runner get with your shocks and what perch do you have the shock on?
I think it was on the lowest setting and it's around 2" of lift or so
I saw the Bilstein 6112’s only went up to 2.5 inches, is there a big difference between that and 3”?
Well it's a half inch difference but just depends on what you're looking for.
2.5 in the front is perfect for me
Awesome man! What wheel offset did you use, and what size are the tires?
Thanks!
Offset is -19 and tires are 285/70/17
@aramschannel thanks for the quick reply! I was thinking of trying to fit 35's on mine but honestly yours looks pretty good, and 33's are less work to fit. Have you swapped your diff gear ratios?
@Skoddskar this 4runner is actually not mine. The green one at the end of the video is mine which has 35's and 5.29 gears. This one is on stock gears
@aramschannel oh right on. What size wheels and offset did you use for the 35's? How's your mpg with the 5.29 swap?
@Skoddskar exact same wheels actually just on 35'" duratracs. Not sure about mpg yet, too early to tell haha I'm still breaking in the new gears
Now all you need is a straight front axle and some diff lockers 😅
Ifs is better for off-roading
@@user-kf1pi8ze1hdepends on what type of off-roading your doing.
Might be a dumb question but why did you go with RC rear shocks and not the matching Bilstein shocks?
So all these parts were actually from my 4runner (the green one). When I originally lifted my 4runner, the bilstein rears were back ordered which is why I got the RC's.
When I took all these parts off my 4runner to install on this other 4runner, one of the rear shocks was bad so RC sent me brand new ones under warranty. Hope that clarifies haha
How would you say the rear suspension in this 4runner with the RC’s feels in comparison to the setup in your green one? Ig in other words is it even worth it to go with the RC’s or save myself the time and just get myself some 5100’s
@cairoalmarez9644 I'd probably get the bilsteins if I was you.
Nothing wrong with the RCs, they were fine while I had them although one of them did lose its charge in about a year.
All that being said, the springs you choose for the rear will also make a big difference. I can't really compare this 4runner to my green one because they have totally different set ups.
Long story short, get bilstein haha :)
did you already trimmed the fenders side? did it rub?
Yes I trimmed a bit but it still rubs slightly
If you don’t mind me asking what ended up being the total cost of this build, I plan on doing something similar with mind but don’t wanna completely break the bank.
Well we actually used all of my old parts from my 4runner for this 4runner but if you bought it all new, probably would be sitting around $3500 usd
(Suspension, wheels and tires, and front bumper)
@@aramschannelany chance you could share where get your parts from? Have a 99 I’m about to put some love into and love that wheel and tire package
@JakeKelsick I get parts from everywhere haha (whoever has the best deals)
Rockauto, amazon, Facebook marketplace
For suspension parts, I usually look around on google to find the best deals.
Wheels and tires I bought used from fb marketplace
Where can I locate the front in black like the one you styled in black that says Toyota?
For the front grill?
Search "honeycomb mesh" on ebay and you will find it
What did you use for fender flares?
Those are just the oem flares
nice , where do you get that grill
I made it myself, unfortunately didn't get it on video.
But I do have another video showing how to make it. It's called a "satoshi grill"
@@aramschannel thank you
What fender flare do you have on there
I believe they are factory but I don't know for sure, it's not my 4runner
what is the rear bumper on the white one?
It's custom made, I have a video on that as well
Hot🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😍😍🤩🤩
Could you link the wheels?
Or what size they are etc?
I just updated the link in the description, let me know if that works
Thanks man it works!
Curious did you have to use wheel spacers?
@@kevintolliver3525 no spacers on this one but if you have the tundra brakes, you would need at least a 1/4" spacer
Where can the bumper be bkught at sir?
The bumper is from coastal offroad, it comes in pieces and you weld it together.
What year is your 4 Runner. I have a 02 and hate the fat lip front bumper. I want to do a slimmer bumper like you had.
Mines a 96
@@aramschannel could I put a 96 on a 02. Even if I had to fab it together?
@thekidd5949 ya I'm pretty sure it'd be a direct fit
@@aramschannel thank you.
What spring is in the rear?
OME 890
@@aramschannel is she pretty stiff?
What is the wheel offset?
-19mm
Does anyone know if you can run 265/70/15 on stock height
Ya you can, that's basically the stock wheel size
The only problem you might have is clearing the calipers with 15" wheels
Tires are 35x12.5x15?
285/70/17
Tires sizes?
285/70/17
Looks great. Looking to lift my 01. How much this run you
Thanks!
I actually have another video called "is budget suspension worth it" talking in more detail about this set up if you wanted to check it out!
It's around $1100ish CAD
Connecticut??
Alberta
@@aramschannel Beautiful place!, I go to Ontario to camp and fish annually.... nice
What front bumper?
Coastal offroad
I feel like he should’ve just kept the smaller tires…
Alaska?
Alberta
the music on this post sounds like somebody is in agony and pain.
Lol I know I fcked up on the music
This 4runner is very nice however the turd of an engine in these is such a deal breaker
Haha you mean the engine that will run forever?
I know it's gutless but it's one of the most reliable engines out there, super easy to work on and easy to find parts for
That music! Wtf? Thank god for mute button😂😂😂🤣
That's a rusty girl
you ain’t see real toyota rust
Sorry, dude, but the so-called "music" almost drove me insane after the first minute! Had to shut ya down.
Fair enough haha
This music is too awful, can't do it...
