We have the 4Runner in Aus but only up to the 2ng gen which ends in 1995, we also have them as a Surf, the Japanese model. I've got a 4Runner in NSW and it's bloody awesome
@@joehop5780 Eight, so it's safe to assume you like them. Never owned one, but strongly considering buying one. What has been your experience with 4Runner paint and their corrosion resistance? I've read Toyota's paint is soft and unusually susceptible to stone chips in normal on-road driving.
Short sighted Toyota Australia should've brought these into the country instead of the Fortuner. I like my Fortuner spent 15k on kitting out, including a winch, but hate the stupid DPF and all its expense. The 4 Runner in the U.S. has a rock solid reputation.
Really great review of the Toyota. Your two personalities and styles made it so much better than the so many dry reviews we tend to see. Thanks to both of you guys for the fantastic content you give to us weekend guys
Love Modifieds! It’s weird to see this in Arizona still. I know you and Torbs are long gone. I hope you enjoyed yourselves here!! I imagine you will be coming back Ronny. Love your videos! ❤️🐞
It seems that in Australia the UHF mobile radios are limited to 5 watts where as in the States, most HAM mobile radios are 50 watts, but the actual limit here is 1500 Watts, but that's not very practical. Also, most overland HAM users use VHF although some use UHF. These two factors probably account for the range difference between the two countries. CB in the States is 27 MHz and is limited to 4 watts with horrible sound (AM) and range.
Oh man, so funny about the squirrel bit. We were in Melbourne walking along the Yarra when the misses seen a SQUIRREL. The daughter n I pissed ourselves laughing then she clicked. Then she said he might be over here on a holiday 😂. And we've lived 100km down the road for all our lives. I had to show the misses n daughter this n pissed themselves laughing 😂.
1 of very few videos where the interviews don't feel forced or cringe on the channel. Much prefer when it doesn't look awkward when you are both talking to each other.
I am subscriber of you both , and almost 200 other people who are into this overlanding thing but unfortunately I am from Pakistan and yeah ! ....... Its a small country and we are still in the gray zone as far the passport is concerned and so on ... But yeah it's good to have such positive thing inside my mind such as overlanding rather than doing some other stupid thing ... Anyway nice 4runner by the way ...
Good fun Ronny, hard to change the way they talk but good try. I heard Brad say mate to Marco once in TrailRecon. I wonder if we can improve our radios in Australia they're ahead of us in that area.
Nothing to do with the radios. From what I've gathered when the US refers to H.A.M radio, that is the equivalent to our HF radios in Oz. The fact that so many 4wds in the US use HAM seems to indicate that there may not be any licensing requirements to operate the units, thereby increasing the up take, unlike Australia.
It’s so freaking cute how Ronny thinks of these upgrades as toys. Most countries that sell Toyotas have the better models and upgrades/mods. RIP my dream of having a 70 series Land Cruiser wagon :’(

You guys over there are using uhf. Ultra high frequency. Its good for short range and for use in aircraft. We generally run vhf which tends penetrate barriers and stays closer down to the ground.
Whats up Ronny..havent seen your videos in a while... Still the Overland OG.. 👍... Overlanding kinda died out for me after it becme "trendy" ...but im always glad to see you keep at it.. Much love from Texas brother✌
Not sure if comparing UHF CB to Amateur radio is 100% matched. I like the amateur radio, but a more even, fair comparison would have been UHF CB vs GMRS. Sure, UHF CB is license free, while GMRS requires a license (USA, not needed in CAN), but I feel that UHF CB and GMRS are closer in terms of strengths/weaknesses. Aside from that, not too bad....
I have one of these, the worst thing about it by far is the 4.0 V6. The rest of the vehicle is pretty solid (except the IFS), but damn that 4.0 is really disappointing. That's probably a big reason the GX is getting so popular, you get a V8 instead of the 4.slow.
Hey Rohnny, you’ve made many videos and I love them, even with Andrew St Pierre White who is passionate about a subject I want your opinion on, tire sizes. So Andrew praises tall and narrow tires, you’ve been running wide tires. What is better for off-roading/overlanding? Wide or narrow tires?
Why both the VCR and BCDC instead of one or the other? How do you have all of it wired? I just use the relay on my setup and have been looking into DC chargers
Does anybody know the name of the Smittybilt model? Or the name of the part that keeps the line attached to the grill and not needing to be hooked onto the recovery point?
Think I remember Kevin saying it's 5 tons (imperial) loaded plus a 3,000 lb trailer loaded with 48 gallons of water. GVWR for the 4Runner on my 2018 TRD Off Road is 5855Kg/12,908lbs. Need the upgraded suspension to handle what he's doing for sure.
If he wants more power, there are countless supercharger kits available for that engine, and there's an Australian company that has figured out how to tune the ECU (not a piggyback), and has customers in the US.
No, I want Toyota engineered power... There's a reason they stopped development of the TRD supercharger for the 5th gen... I'll drive slow and keep my reliability over untested power mods 👍 We did however find a solution... TBA
Rumors abound every year that Toyota is going to introduce a diesel engine for the Tacoma and likely the 4 Runner. Soon I hope. The gasoline engines are extremely refined and efficient, but off road nothing beats a good diesel.
I heard the Tacoma and Tundra were going to be sharing a frame in the next generation, so Toyota is going to be bringing over the Hilux to fill the gap
i am running ko2 at the moment they don't like wet roads too much first set of tires i have had that slide out readily, not tried coppers, but they are the next set i will be fitting from all the talk of how good they are.
im running the st maxx only get them if you dont mind getting shit mpg or you do a lot of wheeling. its a load range e tire so its heavy but it is stupid tough. I wheel pretty often and try to hit the harder trails. Its a mud and snow rated tire and it has sipes in the tred so it does really well in rain and is far better then a mud terrain in the snow, actually amazing in the snow. I normally air down to 14psi so you can see the tire really flex and wont get any punctures or sidewall tears. But again if you want st maxx I get 12mpg highway in my tacoma because it has full steel armor with skids, bumpers, spare tire, cap, and rooftop tent. I think stock and the tires I was getting 15ish mpg city down from 19 so again unless you wheel or just dont care about poor mpg's go with a wildpeak or duratrac.
I wonder why Toyota dose not offer the Toyota 2.8 GD 6 in the Toyota 4Runner out of the Toyota Fortuner from down under it be better for overlanding as it becoming a big thing now in USA & Canada
Ronny Dahl appreciate your response. I wish there is a way to calculate that. Mine isn’t that heavy but not stock either. I have full skids installed and rock sliders, running load E 275 BFG KO2s. I have no clue what’s the best PSI on highway. On off-road of cause from the knowledge I got from you I go down to about 20 psi. Not going below that because I don’t have bead lockers.
@@LionRunner there is a way to calculate it. Look up tire load tables for your tire and stock tire for 4runner. There's guides on the internet how to do it
Isn't it funny how the trucks in the USA vs Australia are so different, generally I find that the Americans set ups look cool but are not as hard ware wearing. It seems a lot more plastic. Take the front bar, we just wouldn't use that here in Australia.
America varies greatly geographically, but TBH not many people truly NEED a full bumper in the USA. Living rural, or in the mountains perhaps, but people in the USA definitely do like a bumper for the looks. That's why you see so many usdeless light weight aluminum creations here.
We also don’t have kangaroos 🦘 jumping out in front of us, although we do have deer, but because US highways are so extensive, we don’t drive Offroad cross country

Great video, Ronny! We had an awesome time with you and the crew in Arizona. Let's make some plans for your return... oh and our trip to Australia!
That was FANTASTIC Kevin. So glad your family is doing this.
That is going to be interesting to see a 4runner in Australia. Just thank of all the people you will meet just because of the 4runner and trailer
We have the 4Runner in Aus but only up to the 2ng gen which ends in 1995, we also have them as a Surf, the Japanese model. I've got a 4Runner in NSW and it's bloody awesome
Love my 2005 4Runner with the 4.7 V8 😁
186,000 miles and going strong 💪
They're going up in value too. You'll get 300k out of that thing minimum. Awesome truck!
This was a convergence of two giants in the overlanding world! Thanks for getting together guys. Educational and entertaining.
11 MPG is because it's a 2 bedroom efficiency apartment disguised as a Toyota.
The funny part for me is I get 22 mpg's on the highway with my 92 4runner fully loaded for a week in the bush for 2 people. Progress huh?
Michael Carlson I average ~18-19mpg with my ‘19 4Runner.
I’ve had 8 4Runners. 0 got over twenty mpg. Ever. Unloaded, loaded, downhill, coasting with the engine off, off road, on road, highway, whatever.

Nice episode. Greetings from Perú. You should come here to try the high mountain roads (or trails) in the Andes.
Plenty of squirrels running around wild at Perth Zoo and i'm sure elsewhere Ronny but of course introduced to Aus . Nice setup on the 4 Runner :-)

You do have squirrels in Australia, they were introduced by humans in the 1800s.
No squirrels down under, we have eaten them all 😂
