Did you do the maintenance yourself? Fluid changes ect?
What watch are you wearing?
Put the steps back on for you wife... ._.
What’s greasing the yolks on the drive shaft mean?
4runners will be 4ever classics
Forever 4Runner! The 4Runner is for the runners! Lmao!
and will run 4ever haha

Congrats on being a soon to be dad. All the best there man! I bet his/her first car will be a BRZ.
I wish I could find a decent priced mid 2000 4runner, impossible to find now.
Here in the PNW people are asking 6-10k for beat runners with almost 300k miles, or even worse they post their wheeler builds that arent even street legal and will be like "i know what i got, no lowballers" 🤣
I can sell you mine. 04 4runner. 186k miles for 6K
@@jesameclydejavier2669 I'm not in the market for one at the moment, I'm loving my 13' tundra. Post it for sale though people will eat that up at that price and mileage, provided the maintenance checks out. GLWS.
@@jesameclydejavier2669 do you have a Snapchat / Instagram? Email?
I just bought a 01 4runner rust free with 186k on it for 5k. has dents tho from deers lol 4x4 sr5...
I love that you drive press cars all the time and still settled on a good old toyota
Beautiful and clean 4Runner, hard to find a relatively clean one for a good price this days.
Ае
Your wrist watch explains it all, haha. I am glad you enjoy your car man. Thanks for sharing. But what do you think of after market Android Auto/Car play systems versus the built in ones from all the new press cars you drive?
Not him but they are all over the place, some are just an andriod OS with AA/Car play able to be brought up, some are a custom skinned linux OS with AA interacting. The problem with the former is they are way to cellphone-ish which doesn't translate well into driving and the a bunch of the later are using out of date cheap hardware that lags which is actually a real issue when driving.
There is a few good ones out there but you will be paying for it.
I love how clean ur 4runner looks in comparison to others of its age
My old ‘96 4Runner was one of my favorite car ownership experiences. It’s now over 200k miles and is owned by my cousin
What a cool ride. Wish we had something like that in Europe - Land Cruiser Prados are so expensive.
But the 2-Door Prado is really cool mate :)
4runner is much more expensive than Prado
@@paulsteverodriguez3549 in US? In post Soviet Union countries 4runner of same year for example, is more expensive, Kazakhstan, Russia, etc.
Man that headunit is a game changer. Almost makes the car seem modern haha
Dang, you teased me when you said jumping it lol. Great build so far, I love the 4th gen V8s.
I liked your tundra videos which influenced me to get a 19' Platinum - looking forward to putting on a supercharger once it's paid off in a couple of years :)
I bought an 06 Tacoma a few months ago. It’s good to have an old Toyota 4x4. I can see why they’re all universally overpriced.
It should be worth more than 11k, with the chip shortage going on all used cars are shooting up in value, especially Toyotas, but don't plan on buying a new car with the money cause soon we won't be getting any new cars if this shortage continues
Sold my v8 and got me a super clean v6.. if you don't tow v6 is where is at
I picked up a ONE OWNER, NO ACCIDENT 2003 4RUNNER LIMITED with only 79,000 miles for 14K!!!!!!!!!!! GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m definitely going to miss physical keys.
My 17 wrangler has a physical key, and I'm cherishing it lol
I sold mine with 400k on it for $6500. These things are awesome.
Your hands look familiar. Is your cousin 'Thing' from the Adams Family?
Love it! Thanks for sharing! I just got an 05-V8 4Runner with 196k paid $7200. I've about $8600 total in the truck, need it new front suspension work. Timing belt, brakes, radiator, thermostat, belts, water pump, unjoints, knock sensor, all this done in the last 24 months by the previous owner. Just love the way it drives. So smooth!
you could've done no modifications and just moved the vehicle to Vancouver, BC and it would have gone up to that price. lol
Nice 4runner but buy a bike rack
i love my 2005 2wd (im in Texas) and is a Texas native truck so no rust. i love the V8 sound!
I sold my 4Runner for around 6,000 and I'm regretting it now :(
You've got good taste Topher. I was dailying my 05 passion red S60R for about 4 years, now I am driving my black 2nd gen 1995 4runner 3.0 V6 with 2in OME lift and 33x10.5 inch BFG KO2 tires every day.
Can get about 18mpgs if I try, its very comfortable and versatile. Obviously not as quick but does well in offroad. Only has 127,000 mi. I installed new speakers and a Kenwood DDX370 double din. Looks sharp with all the chrome. Has a brush guard. I added a rear tire carrier so I will need to upgrade the rear springs again. I can drive it anywhere without fear of breaking down like in my caR.
Really does feel like my $3000 4runner feels like its worth $13,000
Just bought an 03, I cant wait to start modding it!! I had been looking around forever for a used fun car when I came across this video. I decided that any car that's good enough for THE Topher himself is good enough for me
Was deciding between the FJ Cruiser and the 4-Runner, after watching this, I'll stick to the 4-Runner although FJ Cruiser is appreciating in value, the 4-Runner seems to be more livable to live with!
I like the sitting position for the driver, I'm 6'1" and I like how it's like I'm sitting on the floor. My wife is 6'1" and her knees are up almost to her chest when in passenger seat.
They really, really, really need to make the 4Runner about 4 inches taller inside the cab for us tall people.
The 3rg gen, even though it looks classic, has the worse sitting position I've ever seen in 40 years.
I'm like the opposite. I took this same model for a test drive and I didn't like how low the seats were and like you said, almost sitting on the floor... and the windshield angle was so steep, it felt like I'm inside a bunker. i want to seat high up with lots of visibility so I went with a 2008 Honda pilot instead.
As 5’9” guy, I find the 4runner to be perfect size haha
This 4runner looks amazing, you've done an awesome job with the build so far, well done
Nice 4Runner that you can enjoy driving instead of worrying about getting dents on the GX. My 23 year old third generation, supercharged 1999 4Runner is also my preferred daily driver. I owned it for the last 17 years and drove coast to coast a couple of times. Nimble on the trails, super simple to work on, and the parts are relatively cheap compared to Land Cruiser parts. My other vehicles are the GX470 and LX570 and they are primarily used for family overland trips. Final note regarding aftermarket exhaust. I had TRD exhaust in the 4Runner for 8 years but I got tired of the droning sound on the highway. Your wife/kids will likely hate it. I eventually replaced it with a 5th gen 4Runner exhaust muffler. Much quieter in the cabin and I can enjoy hearing the supercharger whine.
Just got a 05 4runner with 142k miles for $6800 here in NorCal. Love that 4.7
I have the same car with the same color, currently have 90k miles.
You might consider putting it back on and you said your wife is pregnant it might be beneficial for her to get in and out of the car
I have had my 2004 V8 for almost 17 years, everything still works!
It cant be a Topher video without Apple Carplay!
3:25 put the side steps back on!...your wife is pregnant bro...what the hell are you waiting for...this is a family car now. it's not an active off-roader anymore...geez
Just sold my 2015 Ford Focus for 8500 after 6 years and 75K miles. Used market is bat crap crazy
Everybody looking at 4 runner, me staring at his watch ⌚️ 🤩
3:12 damn that boot cargo space is AMAZING
QDR never goes out of style.
So clean! I love how you're keeping it simple and just doing the little things that need to be done. She's gonna be a keeper. Maybe do some a few moderate off-roading and light towing video with it.
You call seven thousand dollars in parts 'keeping it simple'?
I just bought a 2017 4Runner it’s a SR5 but I can’t wait to modify it :). Congrats on soon to be a dad!
That’s good for u man
Would love a CX-30 update soon as well!
Head unit looks super clean, no gaps on the sides and seems super responsive.
one of my friends has older 4 Runner like u here and he updated his info system too and its nicer with that simple update.
You and I are probably on the same page, Old Truck body on frame, Reliable, Easy to fix, Can handle all "terrain" with those lift and tires, 4x4, Cheap, Just put a modern infotainment. That's it! I like simple things.👍🏻
Looks great! 🔥 Adding a Kuat Sherpa mtb rack would be awesome
Best daily driver tbh
Got a 95 for 2.9
Slow as hell but an absolute unit. I'm ogling some hot hatches but you can't beat a 4
Hoping someday your camera will catch me driving around haha!
WAIT!!! Did you say Pregnant wife?? Congratulations, Sir. I did not know!?!??!
4Th gen 4runner and the Awesome V8!! Cannot go wrong with it. You're just Wheels away from a Major Keeper!!!
Awesome update/upgrade Topher 👍
I was going to get a 2003 SR5 with the V8 from my dad, but it was an 03, so the frame was completely rotted, and we didn’t even know about it until the last minute. So that was a real slap in the face.
Really clean 4Runner, just needs tint😎
My fav style generation.
Basically a lower spec gx470 which means less things to break! Great truck!
Love the deal you got but man lol the aesthetics on this generation 4Runner drive me up the wall and not in a good way lmao but for $4000 I wouldn't complain!
They have…inner beauty? Lol
@@TheTopher Haha that's the perspective to have! All you see is the interior as the driver anyway. Man I wonder what the designers were thinking for this generation because every other gen is absolutely gorgeous to me! No offense Toph ! LOL !
Needs larger tires to match the lift.
Pretty sweet ol truck, nice find. Love the exhaust tone, was not expecting such a deep rumble. Hopefully you don't encounter any air injection system issues, I know that's an $$$ on these 4.7s.
And congrats on the kiddo!
Why is the 4runner not recommended by Consumer Reports?
They expect it to ride and drive like a car. Ignore them. The 4Runner is better than any crossover.
Great video. And Congratulations on your wife’s pregnancy.
My 03 4runner still looks good too.
Anyone help me
There is a 2005 4runner sport 4wd with 29k miles for 18k
Mods: 2018 trd pro suspension front and rear，900，had 2500 miles on it，installation 600，rim 243 each x 4，tire 245 x 4， tire pressure sensor 75 x 4. install and balance 40 x4，steering wheel 249.99+ tax about 263. whole car fully maintenance， all parts from star Toyota dealer or update better performance parts. around 700， including spark plugs，steering fluids，brake calipers，fluids，pads and rotors and whole car aaaaaalllllllll fluid and oil. labor I paid 650，spend 3 days to finish that.at least you need to do nothing on it 3 years but oil and filter change.
hey topher do you leave your 4 runner in 4wd mode do you plan on adding a security alarm system? also i got a high milage 175k mile 2005 pontiac vibe since we bought the only thing we've done to it is engine fluid change and oil filters the only thing that hasn't been done in that front wheel drive car is transmission and ive been looking at posts saying it could be too risky to do anything about it and then get turned down by a mechanic because of what we've seen since no one posts on anything about it if its even safe without losing the friction in the transmission gearbox
I am obsessed with the 4Runners, specifically the 4th Gen. It is absolutely impressive how these things keep chugging along at 100, 200, even 300+ thousand miles. Toyota really gives you what you need.
4Runners have aged like fine wine
What’s the gas mileage like with the V8 and how big is the fuel tank? Can you get at least 400 miles between fill-ups on the highway?
Fuel tank is 23 gallons, so quite expensive to fill. The best I got on my 04 V8 was about 365 miles on the highway going 70-75mph. Engine’s turning around 2250rpm at those speeds.
@@Ozzy5610 ouch 😅
4runner looks great! Love the mods so far. I'm thinking of picking up a 4th gen myself as a daily. I hope you have more 4runner vlogs coming soon!
I noticed some 4th Gen 2009, SR5 6 cylinder come with car play is it possible they upgraded the stereo? Also is the rear spoiler or wing necessary? I notice the one I’m looking to buy has neither Apple car play or spoiler. Although it’s super clean and 99.9 set on buying it, proving my mechanic approves. I’m just curious about these two options.
Toyota vehicles are literally tanks. They literally last you a long time.
Getting a 4runner 2006 limited with 143k miles for 9.5k. Going from isf lexus to a truck its a big change. Just that I'm going to be a father.
What advantages does this gen 4runner give you over the current V6 model? I would be looking at doing light to moderate offroading and, moving PPG Gear, Bikes, and potentially towing (not very often). Thanks
V8 Torque 👍
If you want a nice sounding exhaust setup, go with a Gibson cat-back and a K&N CAI, it sounds good when you get on it but if you just want to drive around normally and not have any idea you have a modified exhaust, you can. It’s totally worth the money, I’ve got that setup on mine right now.
Oh man your just getting started it only gets more and more expensive I just did a quick walk around of my 4th gen
Hi what do you call the front metal bumper and where can i buy in canada? thank you.
Nice 4runner just picked up a 2003 v8 out in clinton Township. Drove up from the birch run area didn't even know there is an off rd park in Holly. Do you still have your truck? I've been thinking about lifting mine. Would be nice to communicate with you . I would love to see your setup. Tx
Ahhhh, I still miss the GX but this suffices....for now lol.
The gx and 4runner are almost identical. Their both prados. Don't let anyone tell you the 4runner is a hilux their uneducated
Do you find the steering to be loose?
Change the colour and you're all set!
I pity the deer that gets smacked by that front bumper lol 😂
I’m pretty sure it already hit one and is now overcompensating for it’s past experience 🦌
Toyota for the win
Will you be doing MTB videos here? Look fwd to your vids compared with others. Your vid quality is one of the best so looking fwd!
What Apple CarPlay system do you use? I am looking for one that fits my 2004 4Runner
I love your videos, can you please do another video on your 2006 4runner, I really love that thing.
keep drooling over the 240k mile 4runners for $15k. Xterras ftw
Love your videos! Great machine!🥵
this particular year of the 4runner versus 07 highlander ???
In Venezuela that 4runner worth 13.000$ or Even more without the mods
Ah my enemy in the road 4runners. Most dangerous vehicle. Almost been killed by them so many times
The 4Runner needs sound system test while on the go
First time 4R owner here. I’m so over the moon happy with my 2020 Pro.
Nice speedy!
You can add 400,000 miles on 4runners and they will start up and drive like it’s new
Congrats on becoming a dad soon! I love all the videos!
Can you link your exact headunit?
jdms are the best
Gx460 and 4runner are both land cruiser prados.
Ya could do rock sliders with steps built into them.
You slammed your tailgate. Does it not soft close anymore?
