What a great build! Glad to see more high mileage 3rd gens on the trails. These trucks are approaching classic status, hope to see more clean builds like this.
Thank you!
It's already a classic but there's so much of them still on the road today that no one declares it. They are all over the place in comparison to any other SUV on the road today. Even then, they still hold their value.
Planning one to build for a trip with my son. I get more confidence that I am going for the right truck with these videos.
That sounds amazing! Good luck with it.
Quite inspiring. I am finally getting around to modifying my 1997 Surf Hilux that I have had since 2002🙂
awesome fab work on the bumpers.
Thanks! Thank you for watching.
Awesome build mate, absolutely sick truck
Thanks for watching!
2000 4Runner SR5 Sport here. Glad to see my truck has that kind of potential. Still a newb but I'm learning.
One step at a time! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Wow...what a great runner!!! It’s like a mountain ram climbing up those rocks.
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Very inspiring video👍
I owned ‘96 4Runner & ‘97 80 series & loved em .
Very cool! Thanks for watching.
Just got my 3rd 4 runner a 2002 limited still have my 98 sr5 and 99 the 98 still on the road. The 2002 was delivered yesterday cant wait to build her
Very cool! Good luck with it.
Thanks for the inspiration. Love the triple stick install!
Any time! Thanks for watching!
Great build! I really like where you discussed weight and with five people in it with gear. When you are on the rocks and weird angles steel likes to snap. I think you are going about this build well thought out and have a extremely capable vehicle.
Thank you for the great comment!
Thank you for this video! This is a very effective build with out going overboard on looks, except for personalization. It's so great that the powerplant is mostly stock and factory= dependability. Just about every bit of this 3rd gen is totally functional and efficient! Happy Thanksgiving! 👍🍗
Happy Thanksgiving to you also! Thank you for the feedback.
Very cool build! Used to have an '02 limited which I loved but moved to a GX470 for a bit more room (and the V8 of course ;). It's hard to beat the 3rd gens for durability and overall flexibility though.
Awesome rig. Well equipped and built. 👍👍👍
Thank you!
I just bought a 1999 thank you for sharing Gave me alot of ideas.
Glad we could help! Good luck with your build.
@@RogueOverland where's a good place to get bumpers and tire/ jerry can carrierfor the 1999 been looking around online it always says not compatible with vehicle.
Love this rig!
Thanks!
awesome 4runner! and great info in the video. keep up the good work!
Nice build! It looks like a sleeper! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the compliment!
Beautiful rig! I love high mileage builds for sure, my Civic Wagon is my overland rig and it's just about to hit 300k miles! Love the inner fender electronic set up, that's killer space saver idea.
Thank you! Nice work on the Civic.
@@RogueOverland thanks!!
I can attest that that Marlin Crawler and ARB Locker work great!
Thank you for the feedback! We hope you enjoyed the video.
You would, you broke it all in for me! 😜
Just an all around awesome rig
Thank you!
Wonderful build man! For sure gunna take some of your plans.
Thank you! Good luck with your build
Nice video, keep the videos coming 👍
Thank you!
Awesome build. Great guys. Excellent editing. Home run video. Subbed.
Thank you!
Sick build! I’m wanting one of those crawl gears now. Lol
Thanks. Ya buddy!
Awesome!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just bought a nice clean 3rd Gen 4 Runner for a winter beater! Think I'll build something for off road next summer. Thanks for the ideas! Just subscribed...will be keeping an eye on this channel! Thumbs up! 👍
Congratulations on the purchase! Thanks for the support!
@@RogueOverland Thanks!
Awesome video guys, Dang Mike hell of a job on your rig!
Thanks man! Not a bad looking 3rd yourself!
nevada4wheelin thanks bud
Thanks for the feedback and for watching the video!
Cool. I have a 2000 Limited too. And a 98 SR5 with manual shifter. My only suggestion is to use more than bungies to hold items down. In an accident with your family in the back you don't want stuff flying.
Thanks for the feedback. You should check The Perfect Bungee out; they are really robust.
Awesome 3rd gen !!!!
John Niemeyer Thanks Bud! It’s been a fun build!
Thanks for watching the video!
Great video guys.
Thank you!
Very nice 👍🏼
Thank you!
Nice build Brother. Consider getting a cargo divider. It’s truly safer for everyone in the truck.
Thank you. Thanks for the input, that's a good idea.
Loved my old tacos and current 3rd gen slorunner
Great rigs! Thanks for the comment.
five minute in and im shopping for one lol
Nice!.... Thanks for watching.
Awesome 4Runner! It’s refreshing to see one that’s not the latest generation. Side note: did I miss what the differentials were geared to?
Thanks for watching! The 4Runner is geared at 4.56.
sick!
Thank you!
Dude I love your 3rd gen the crawl box is the next purchase for my 3rd gen should be solid after that…love my 1st gens but something about the 3rd gen makes me want to keep building it
Thank you! The third gen 4runner is something special for sure. Good luck with your build. Be sure to check out our adventure videos to see more of the 4runner in action.
How does someone without a off-road vehicle get connected enough that when someone has to sell a truck, even 1/4 as great as this one, will be able to make an offer? I search the web and of course find all the dealer listings about cruise control, interior 'packages' and you can't even tell have the time what kind of power train the thing has.
And I've lived my life buying used. I never mind the scratches and dings I buy, but I always remember that first stupid minor scratch. Maybe some day I'll be rich enough to spec 'pre dinged' for a vehicle -- just for the peace of mind. Great video. Lucky kids.
My dad had a pretty good truck that I inherited... stole... or maybe I just mowed the weeds so I could get it out of 'permanent yard display'. Whatever it was, I wasn't about to ask for permission. It wasn't on blocks yet, but I did have to use some 2x4s to pick the rusted bed up off the rear tires. (s'that qualify as a lift?) And as a left wing radical, I installed seat belts! Car seats? Completely different meaning back then. For kids? What do you mean? If you were under three, basically you were mom's airbag in a head-on. "Shut up and don't worry, I'll hold onto you tight." Dashboard was stamped out of the same steel as the fenders. ) Sorry, I needed a bit of nostalgia to keep from having to admit, I'll never have as cool a 4Runner as Mike.
Thanks for watching! We would suggest craigslist or joining forums/FG groups focused on the rig you are looking for. People are always selling off their "old" rigs to move on to a new build.
After these 2yrs I envy y’all that have a 4wd I’m debating on selling my 2wd & gettin a 4wd but then again i want to convert it to 4wd but mane 🙃 but I’m Savin up for a home & then later get me a 4wd.
Depends mostly on what you use it for. If you plan to go off road then the 4wd is a great thing to have. Thanks for watching and good luck!
@@RogueOverland yes my goal is to own a 4wd & be outside off roading in the woods here in California. But like i mentioned I’m in the works of owning a home, then later be able to afford a 4wd with out tryna sell my 2wd which is my daily. love the channel 🤙🏽
Nice build! It's refreshing to see people do their own work and not have to put millions of $$$ just to show off and go 'overlanding'!
Thank you! We agree, all of us at Rogue Overland wrench on our own rigs.
I have a 3rd gen 4Runner and when I watch this I feel like he’s spent millions. I can’t afford any of this stuff lol. Still working on getting a skid plate lol
@@jvogler_art4708 haha...now, for those of us without millions, what we have to spend our precious $$$ is on GAS! Screw skid plates, 37s, 3 inch lifts, etc...after all of that money is spent there's nothing left for the gas we need to actually go out exploring. ;-)
@@NigelNaughton true but I live near the desert and I need a skid plate to protect my oil pan from rocks. Skid plate is worth the money so I don’t ruin my 4Runner and end up spending more money. The 4runner I bought had only half of the factory skid plate so I just took it off. It’s blank under there now. And yeah Gas freakin hurts in this rig. I still have highway tires on mine lol.. I’d like to lift it and put some modest 32s on it someday. Hoping in the next few months to get that goin. Most of the money I spent was making it leak free and restoring rotted rubber parts. It’s a perfect serviceable vehicle now but I have no money left for all these cool upgrades
@@jvogler_art4708 can you make your own? It's not that hard to fab one up. Or maybe a buddy to help out
The definition of “Necessity is the mother of invention”. Would love to know how much torque it makes on “stupid low”.
Truth!
Great rig not over the top very capable
Thank you!
Just bought a 97 today eyeing up that fab work on the bumper haha have no idea how yo do it time for some googling
Nice! We just tied it into the frame horns.
❤️
Thanks!
Thank you for all the great ideas. From a family of 4 looking to build our 3rd gen!
You got it! Good luck with your build.
@@RogueOverland back in a 3rd gen and watching again for a refresher.
Lmao I wish there was an itemized list of everything
Lol.... no joke. Thanks for watching!
Super cool :) do you know which exact coilovers he's used on the front by any chance? I have my rear end sorted but have been trying to find a decent set up for the front of my truck. Cool vid man :)
Thanks! It is Icon before they were called Icon.
Amazing build! Love it! How are the cvs holding with the marlin transfer case?
Thanks! We haven’t had any issues.
Nice setup what size tire you running? I might have missed it if you mentioned it. Great rig man.
Mr.G Disabled2Able thanks man! Tires are 285/75r16, roughly the size of a 33”.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice Video! I have a 3rd gen on 37s and 488s. Thinking about a Altas or Marlin crawl box. Can you drop a link to the Marlin crawl box you installed. Is there any advantage to the dual case setup, compared to the Atlas 2spd?
Here’s the link to the Marlin Tacobox: www.marlincrawler.com/transfer-case/line-ups/tacobox
The benefit to running this vs a 2speed atlas is you have an extra low range. It can run the factory low range, the Marlin 4.7 low range, or stack both low ranges together for super deep, slow, gearing. You could get this same effect if you jumped to an atlas 4 speed case though.
love the runner man. need a crawl box in the worst way. running 35s with stock gears in a 5 speed makes it not so smooth in the big stuff.
It makes all the difference! Thanks for watching.
Great walkaround! Does the owner has a tutorial of the gear reduction??? With parts and how to??
Thank you! No but that’s a good idea for a future video.
Awesome build. Where did you get your rear upper links? Or did you have them fabbed?
We made them. Thanks for watching!
What were the car seat mods? I’ve got 2 kids in car seats and would like to know before picking up one of these. Great build.
It was just a play on words that the car seat is the mod. To fit three you just need to find the narrowest car seats you can.
Can someone explain the triple shifter… I understand one is for his super low crawler mode. So does he have one shifter dedicated for each the 4H and 4L?
Left shifter operates factory transfer case high/low range, middle shifter is the crawler high/low range, and the right shifter switches between 2 and 4wd.
What did you have to do to the drive shaft after installing the marlin crawler?
Had to have the length changed to match up. Thank you for watching!
Very nice rig! Thanks for sharing. I'm learning that my 98 limited has AWD. I don't have the J pattern Tcase. It's the straight pattern with the push button 4wd on the side of the shift knob. Does anyone know how the awd works? Is power sent to the front whenever the rear slips even without the 4wd button pressed. I've had several 4wd yotas but they were all 80's or early 90's. My 98 runner is "modern" to me lol.
DrFuNK Hey Bud, thanks for the compliment! I had a 96 before this one and i believe it had the same case as yours. It wasn’t all wheel drive though, it was push button 4wd only. The AWD cases actually had AWD on the button and not 4wd, they also had a regular j shift pattern for the 2wd-4wd-4wdL functionality. The neat thing about your particular case, is that you can unplug one of the connectors underneath the truck on the case, and have 2wd low range. You have to actually hit the 4wd button to turn the front ADD on and off. Theres a good write up on T4R.org on all the different transfer cases used in the 3rd gen platform. www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/78448-t-case-differences-all-years-3rd-gens-transfer-case-awd-multi-mode.html enjoy your 3rd!!
@@nevada4wheelin thanks for the reply. I did a little more research last night and figured that out. I'd personally rather have a J pattern with no electronics to worry about. Either way I'm loving my 3rd gen!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
It is on all wheel drive at all times and it is 50 to front and 50 to rear. No electronics, just pure power. Pressing the 4wd buttton locks the center diff and makes a 4wd truck and do not use this feature on dry pavement as that can cause binding. I like the AWD feature. Engage 4wd when you are on soft roads to keep it healthy.
Awesome build would like to get in touch with the man maybe get some fab work done aswell
Thank you! The owner did the metal work but he doesn't do any fabwork for hire.
What roof rack are you running? Or was that built too? Any details on it?
I've been building my own prinsu style rack from aluminum t track.
It is also custom. All the armor on this truck is, with the exception of the skid plate.
Nice! Aluminum is a good choice.
@@RogueOverland could you share some details on your front support feet? I'm thinking about using some leveling feet but always open to other ideas.
Awesome build and video! Would it be possible to have a list of the spare parts you carry with you?
Thank you. Here is most of it:
-Lower ball joints (both sides) extra ball joint bolts
-One inner, and each outer tie rods
-Cv shaft
-2 of the outer Cv shaft joints that go into the hub. (So you can pull the shafts if needed and keep the front wheel bearing together)
-set of fan belts
-radiator hose
-Couple spark plugs
-coil pack
-one rear lower link
-one rear upper link
@@RogueOverland Thank you!! This also gives me a good idea of what is doable by yourself in case of breakdown. Thank you!
Can you please list the modifications you have , I would love to purchase them for mine , I have a 2001 Toyota 4Runner limited
Thanks for watching and good luck with your build! We go over all the modifications in the video. After watching the video if you still have questions let us know.
Hey with the 861s how is the ride when you don’t have lots of weight in the back. Also did you use land cruiser front shocks, or rear?
The 861’s actually still ride great when I’m not loaded down for a trip. I will say that the rear bumper and rear box both live with the truck all the time, so I still have a constant load. But the unloaded and loaded ride quality are still both really good in my opinion.
The land cruiser shocks are off the rear of an FJ80. It’s been a while so I don’t still have the numbers but if you do a quick search for land cruiser rear shocks on a 4runner it’ll bring up all the part numbers for ya.
The combination really does ride and flex great!
@@RogueOverland thanks. I think I’ll go with 861s now.
Which air compressor is this? I'm looking to do the same on mine.
It's a Puma. Good luck with the build!
Never even heard of the Marlin crawler option. Was your truck a 4.30 from the factory?
Allen Brown yes sir, 4.30 from the factory. 4.56 wasn’t a big difference, but was what I had in the taco I owned that I pulled all the parts off of. If I was paying to do it again, would probably go 4.88 with the 33’s.
Thanks for watching Allen! 4.88s has worked well on the Rogue Overland Tacoma on 33s
Yea they drive bad on highway have replaced every part but rack and pinion hopefully that will help once replaced
We haven't seen the same highway issues. Hopefully you get it figured out. Thank you for watching.
What suspension did you run in your 01 tacoma?
The same setup as on the 4runner. Moved it all over to the 4runner when we sold the Tacoma.
4runner are built strong, mine still runs like new at 200,000 miles.
Awesome! Ours just flipped over 250K! Thanks for watching.
Rogue Overland I wheeled with you guys once in Death Valley with the fair family. It was super cool seeing you do a rig walk around on TH-cam haha. Stay safe out there!
What are those circles below the headlights?
LED turn signals. Purchased off Amazon!
You realize much of what you two talked about was drowned out by wind
Wait 8 inch and and remove couldn’t u just swap the drive shafts ?
If we understand your question correctly, because the crawler is custom to this application, there aren’t any drive shafts that would just swap in. They had to be custom length.
Which sunglasses are you wearing?
Oakley Gascan. Thanks for watching the video!
Where's the best place to find Generation 3 Toyotas? Is there a magazine or a club or something?
Probably Craigslist or auto trader for ones that haven’t been modified yet.
@@RogueOverland okay thanks
We need links for all this cool stuff
That's a good idea! We will keep that in mind on future walk around videos.
Why don’t you just walk over those rocks?? Thats crazy man...
Lol..... thanks for watching and commenting!
Are you sell the front and rear bumpers. I just bought the 1997 4runner.
Congratulations on the purchase! Unfortunately the bumper are not for sale.
@@RogueOverland ok thank you
Sorry I might have missed it but does it have a lift
Yes. Thanks for watching!
@@RogueOverland what size lift
@@bigtot993 3 inch lift. It's icon stuff basically.
@@RogueOverland does that include a body lift?
And what’s the link to the hot water shower my wife loves that idea lol
www.hotcampshowers.com/vehicle_mounted_shower
soy de venezuela tengo una camioneta igual me gustaria ponerle el sisteme de 4x4 que tienes en tu 4runner usted la vende como hago
No we don’t sell the system. Check out marlin crawler. Good luck with your build!
aint that the guy from burn notice?
You know it 😂
ram steering ?
Negative. Just stock steering setup. Haven’t really had any problems with it.
The 4runner is so badass why the f#ck did i sell my silver 2000 sr5 4wd with the hood scoop 🤔
Thank you! Good luck finding another one.
What gear ratio is he running?
4.56
@@RogueOverland are you happy with them? Or would you have rather of gone with the 4.88?
How much for the 4runner
Thank you, but it is not for sale. Thanks for watching!
Can he make me a rear and front bumper!?!?
He gets asked that often but unfortunately he only builds them for himself and close friends. Thanks for watching!
