It is such a nice 4runner, but goodness gracious, 20k is unreal !!! My 4runner only has about $2500 in upgrades. Level kit and wheel/tires. As for the body, I actually did my own viper cut mod which came out good. The next thing I want to do is put a metal rear bumper and that's about it for now. That will get me closer to 3k in mods... Lol I don't know how you got to 20k but still, your build is awesome 👏🏽
Sweet. Consider Dyna-matting all 5 doors. That was my first mod (along with changing out the sound system). I actually did 2 layers of it. Cuts down bigly on road noise and improved the audio quality. Nice truck lady.
@@dhh488 Hi! I stayed with the stock head unit (which I’m switching out soon) and did a JBL Amp and JBL Cleansweep (which you won’t need if you go with an aftermarket head unit), a 12” JBL sub and this old school dude made me a custom sub enclosure, and I went with Hertz Component speakers (x6). I’m soon going to get an Alpine iLX-W650 head unit as during Covid you couldn’t find any head units worth a good fart. That sound proofing is the key tho. Let me know what you come up with! Good luck!
@@BigRoss246 Hey Big Ross, thanks for the response. I see the head unit you're looking at is $400, so not too bad. I'll have to give this more thought, but thanks again.
Great video and well edited. I like your first discussion on having a dog and how it impacted your exploration adventures. I too want a camping buddy (dog) but not sure I want to give up that flexibility to go anywhere at anytime. Thanks!
Nice! I’ve got the 4Runner addiction bad. What a wonderful life it would be traveling and camping! We off grid camp a lot but my entire set up is in a large Alice pack. You have a great companion! Enjoy!
I reheated mine to 4.88’s and it’s perfect, drives like stock or maybe even a little better and I can do 90 all day long uphill if needed. You’ll love the upgrade
My most expensive mod for my 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road is the Magnuson supercharger. That was $7k and I got a lot more out of my build, spending close to as much, including the ss. $20k in mods, just on the things she mentioned is just money not well spent. You don't need those expensive Fox Shocks, not for overlanding. I have a Magnuson Supercharger (my favorite mod), King Shocks, Victory 4x4 Blitz slim front Winch Bumper and Warn winch, 35" KM3s given to me by my brother's shop (I swap based on needs), No RTT so have my entire roof back as storage. Lots of storage!😁 I did a rear seat delete in 2021, so have tons of interior space. To sleep, I use an Australian double sized swag tent on a cot that elevates it off the ground. I also purchased DeepSleep's 4Runner solo self inflating air mattress with memory foam, that perfectly contours the side of the back of my 4Runner, leaving tons of space, with seats folded down, but i did a rear seat delete, so have tons more space. It is a great emergency option for when weather is bad, or Grizzlies are poking around. When not in use and deflated, it goes in an easy to store bag. I have an effective dual battery, inverter setup, plus I bought a lithium ion battery generator (a good one), that can be charged while I drive, or via solar panels that came with it. It improved my night time/meal time experience 150%! It runs everything I use at night, all night (laptop, fans, charging phone, USB lights, heated blanket etc etc),. Freeing my main power up, so I never have to do the wake up power level check, anymore. I love it! Oh and I have an auxiliary long range fuel tank too, doubling my range. If I didn't have the ss, I still have a far more superior build, for less.. With double your fuel range, lots of storage now, having my roof back as storage, so my build can sustain me for A LOT longer, and I have all the power i need etc. I know this post was long, but I just wanted to point out to potential overlanding newcomers that her build is a huge waste of $20k. Also, you can find excellent condition gear second hand, including offroad bumpers, or anything else you need. There is soo much of it that great deals come easy!
Is the horizontal bar across the front grill that says TOYOTA stock? I think I've seen it on some brand new models, I love that. Or is that an upgrade?
If you are going to go all in with lots of mods and add ons a 4Runner then Magnuson Supercharger is a must. Or else you a very heavy lifted slug that can barely get out of its own way.
I stopped at window and dog….🎉. I did the same thing with my first gen, (I’ve owned 4). My current pup hasn’t really warmed up to the idea, but my original golden loved it…plus the side window. 🐕👍🤪🇨🇦 Any vid with…”and my dog”.
great entertainment video, I have a 03 v8 4runner completely stock now with 29K miles on it and about 8K miles off road. My tires are the original Dunlop Grandtrack. still on. Newer got stuck or in trouble off road Good sells women hats to you. To people that wAtch you they need nothing you advertise ability and experience is all, rest is money wasted.
On my F150 it was kind of a cancer slowly growing. Started out with a level and bigger tires on factory wheels to 2 years and $10k later tires wheels kings bumpers interior upgrades chase rack and spare carrier KC lights……. The key is pay cash and don’t add up what you’ve spent. Lol
How are your $20K upgrades impacting the weight and handling of the vehicle? I had $25K upgrades to my FJ Cruiser (including super charger) and I felt it was too heavy and under power.
Only things you might need to replace over years are the tires/wheels over time depending on what you do, and MAYBE the suspension/cross bars etc if you are going wild out there.
@@Impulset0 if it's not better than SR5 it won't be Trd pro and the price will remain the same. However it's not. Why jeepers go for Rubicon? It's got better off road features. I mean if you can't afford that's your problem, but if you can why not go for a better trim. The standard 360° cam, rear locker, better suspension, better creature comfort, good trd 17 inch wheels. Building up a Trd pro will definitely better than building up an SR5.
@@laloolhouvum1634 then why do you see all these builds based off the sr5? Because it's the most cost effective. Nobody is going to pay 20k more just to rip out everything.
@@Impulset0 actually more Trd pro or off road suspension are replace and the bumpers butcher though SR5 are more cheaper. Trd pro plus mods means a lot of money. If you can't afford that admit it nobodys gonna judge you. Many great overlanding channel like 4wd24/7 started their career with 20 years old used 4wd. I'm seeing cuz never seen an SR5 build up honestly.
Have u changed your front and rear diff fluid? Do you do your own oil changes? Have you drained and filled the trans fluid? Rotate your own tires? Prob not
I have the same suspension Fox 2.5 DSC but I think I was sold some stuff rear coil springs. Everyone I know that has this suspension lives it but I’m not 100% satisfied. Anyone know of good stock replacement coils? I don’t have any added weight.
One of the best looking runners I've seen. Really good job!
you been living under a rock?
Giant loser
the truck's not bad either!
@@g.r.2985
I’m in love!! And that’s a really nice 4 Runner also
Bottomline, she loves 4runner because she love her dog. 🙌🏻
The top tents make me wish Toyota could do a "camp" version of the 4 runner that comes with a built in tent/ceiling like camping vans do.
Beautiful truck, beautiful woman, beautiful dog.
Just want to say nice looking 4Runner and you're doing what you love too!
She turned it into the perfect “zombie apocalypse survival car”.

What did you get for a sound system? My 2022 Tacoma Off Road has a really bad sounding factory stereo and I would like to upgrade it.

Just did this to mine. Dynamatted the floor and headliner as well. Also put a layer of sound skins on all doors.
Wow, you are ready for anything in that setup, love your 4runner, looks amazing.

I love this 4RUNNER. This ones done right. If you're always exploring than how many miles are on that nice rig?
the front mods are dooope!
Tough and beautiful. Bad Ass Rig!!!

Boom! Nicely done
Beautiful Tunner you have there. I am in over $20k in upgrades on mine too. It all happened so fast lol.
How much is your 4RUNNER+the 20K in upgrades 60-70K?
Sweet rig! Why are you running wheel spacers?
Is the horizontal bar across the front grill that says TOYOTA stock? I think I've seen it on some brand new models, I love that. Or is that an upgrade?
so sick!
Is it wrapped?
If you are going to go all in with lots of mods and add ons a 4Runner then Magnuson Supercharger is a must. Or else you a very heavy lifted slug that can barely get out of its own way.
What are your MPG with all that weight?
너무 멋졌어 한국에서 이런 동영상을 보고 너무 재밌게 봤습니다 화이팅 하세요
Awesome build
Great video
Nice 4runner. Very well done.
4RUNNER is dope, and I fn love the dog!
Do you do snow camping. Its snow time here in Colorado..
What's this thing get, 12mpg? Beautiful 4runner
20k into it, is that the way to go you think instead of going Pro? Is the warranty effected?
Beautiful pooch, nice build on your truck.

Daddy's money

Now I want a 4Runner

Great looking 4runner. Claudia is a definite badass!
I have a 2018 runner too and I just love this!! she's a beauty 🙂
Yes, she is
Did you get your dog up in the tent?😮
Where did you get most of the 4runner work done?
yea, i have ya beat by a lot.
You go girl!😊
What a car, what a girl, what a doggy
DOPESHOW. Well done lady.
Bad to the bone 🦴!!! Sick ass rig!!!!!
Such an amazing build
Nice build. Mine is similar but with an Alu Cab RTT. What gear ratio are you going to for the extra weight?
What roof rack was this
Very Nice and good Job man
Nice video, thank you for sharing. More videos please.
Where do you buy your stuff at? Like the tent or the roof lights?
can i get the link for the light bar please
Now how much was the labor?
@yotaforce what mods did you start first?
Great looking SUV 😎
What editor do you use?
Is that an Akita?
I love that fact that your runner is actually dirty!! Yes!!
Just my suspension on the front end was $20k 😅. But I like to boogie 🎉

this should be excellent for overlanding... great video
Wow !!! Love it …🌸🌸🌸
0:03 SR5 Premium?? it's look like TRD Pro for me..
Man I'm working on a Ford Ranger currently and I WISH that there was an option to replace the tailgate with a swingout tailgate.
The best mod was the Doggy
Great job on that... Wow.. let me know if you sell😊
Nice looking 4 runner
Great car. Nice vid. Can we have more vids bout this magnificent German shedder?
Chick loves her Dog ....
I can imagine the smell of that car
How are your $20K upgrades impacting the weight and handling of the vehicle? I had $25K upgrades to my FJ Cruiser (including super charger) and I felt it was too heavy and under power.
Good question, +1
Regear would help with that
Great vehicle Claudia thanks for sharing I own a 2019 4Runner trd off road premium and its also my 2nd runner but yours look awesome
Im getting into offroading. These upgrades. Do most of them last for the life of the vehical or are they constantly having to be replaced?
Only things you might need to replace over years are the tires/wheels over time depending on what you do, and MAYBE the suspension/cross bars etc if you are going wild out there.
Dope build. I like the kayak part, it’s my therapy but escaping from the crowds with the fam is also necessary 🤙🏽
Love this build.
great content! nicely done!
I freakin love it!!!!
do you regret picking black for the color?
It’s a wrap.
Love it and love my to do that to my 2021 runner
But does it have a rear locker???
Lovely car . I have same car since 2006
Why the SR5 premium and not the TRD pro? You got all the key components to fit 35s.
Doesn’t make sense to spend the extra money on the trd pro if you’re going to replace the suspension and butcher the bumpers.
