- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Our 4Runner just turned one! 30k miles and more fun than we ever could imagined. Hope you enjoy the video’s. In some of the clips the truck was completely stock. Easy way to tell it if you see the chrome running boards it was stock and if you see the black RSG sliders it was modded. The upgrades it has are OME 3inch suspension from ToyTec, SPC adjustable UCA's, RCI full steel skids, RSG Sliders, rear end breather relocated to gas cap and BFG KO2's 285/70/17's.
See our year two video @
• 2nd year in review 4wd...
Thanks for watching!!!

I can’t say enough about this video. No lame music. Great footage with lots of different terrain. Perfect rig. TRD off road package with AT’s and sliders is just awesome. All you need and nothing you don’t. And to top it off with the girlfriend doing big gasps here and there worried for you. Great video!
Thanks!!! :)
well said!
it's all true, only I had the impression the girlfriend was a bit worry about 4Runner as well
estuopinion 😂 probably true!

10 years later...For sale: Mint condition...highway driven!
no low ballers, i know what i got
10 years later, will still sell for $20k with 150k miles

HAHAHAHA!
Great no nonsense video, probably one of the best showing the capabilities of basically a stock vehicle with good AT tires.
Hellas Boy Thanks man! 😉
Amazon Runner! Great film with no unneeded background music
Great video. Would recommend taking your water crossings slower. Common wisdom is no water at or above the headlights or you risk hydro locking your engine. Would hate to see that happen to you. Slow down and ride the bow wave.
Lunchbox The Man
Thanks! 😉👍
You are absolutely correct slower is better on water crossings. I’m usually by myself and have to weigh the risk of getting stuck or just blasting through a hole. Plus sometimes I just can’t help myself🤷♂️
Not sure if you saw the other video (4Runner in Deep)on my channel definitely came in way to hot on that hole!!!!!😬
I’ve been lucky my air box has always been bone dry.
I have a snorkel to install before summer. The trails in south Florida are more like canals in the rainy season.
My buddy hydro locked his 2013 jeep rubicon hitting water just like that. Why they put the intake just behind the hood
boggles me. Its a weakness in the new Jeeps.
Greeting you from iraq
This is the best off road video I've ever seen man fantastic job the camera girl is doin a great job too
Thanks so much!!! :)
Awesome ride and sweet compilation! Hope your lady filming checked her pants after a couple of those 😅. Looked fun!
And that’s the other thing .. you kept the stock rims 👍🏼
Just read most of your comments. Thanks for being so thorough with the important questions.. I myself back in July purchased the same truck. I will in time start the same build. Now that I know and seen it in action. Great simple footage like everyone else said. Cheers and Merry Christmas
Alex Yannone Thanks for the nice comments! I’m excited for your build, you are going to have a blast!!!
The best, toughest and most realistic off road video ever. Dad always wanted this, now i know why and i'm getting one for him in a few weeks. Kudos!
one of the best real/for normal people offload videos I've ever seen
Thanks really appreciate the comment.
When you are off-roading dont forget to air down your tires, it'll reduce a lot of the slipping
Best video yet. Love that there’s no annoying music playing or a bunch of talking just some good mild wheeling! Great job!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I wanna trade my F-150 for one of these real talk lol
Ricky Garza won’t regret it, had both
Good call lol 👊
Did you do it yet?
Hell yes I’m giving this a thumbs up.....
Thank you! 😉👍
I love all the ‘gasps’ in this video lol
Me too!! 😂
Using that 4runner!! Good driving, especially your speed/throttle control...nice and smooth. As slow as possible but as fast as you need to... Enjoyed the vid!
Thanks! :)
I have the exact same truck, same year, everything. Over sized Hankook tires on mine, it's a beast also, I love it.
What a great video this is, lots of fun to watch, thanks.
Thanks! :)
I came here for a year of 4WD Action... This isn't 4WD Action this is just 2 random people lol.. For those who don't know 4WD Action is an Australian overlanding reality show and my favorite show with episodes here on TH-cam
Lunamaria
do they have 5th Gen 4runners over there?
In Australian the 4Runner is called the Prado and has full time 4wd and a 3rd row seating
Lunamaria we have a model based on the Prado here but it’s called Lexus GX
I don’t think they sell the current
4 Runner in Australia
Maybe the Prado might be the Australian 4Runner equivalent?.. The Prado uses the 4Runner chassis but has the luxury of Land Cruisers, as well as a optional 3rd row and full time 4wd..... It looks like a slightly smaller 200 series Land Cruiser lol.. I recently bought my husband his dream overlander, a 94 Land Cruiser (80 series in Australia) with front and rear lockers and we are currently building it up for overlanding.. it is able to go absolutely anywhere while bone stock.. I absolutely love Toyota.
Lunamaria yea I’m a Toyota nut too!
I exclusively buy and sell land cruisers 40/80/100, Lexus GX 470/LX470’s in Florida along with classic American muscle cars.
You can get a 4Runner with a third row here it’s a option in some of the models. I have a rear slider in mine. My wife drove a GX470 but we sold it now she drives a Hellcat. LOL We are out in Moab right now off-roading you might want to go to my channel I just posted a bunch of new video’s you might like. No cooking, camping or talking it’s all 4wd action hence the name lol
Nice, I like that it's a mild build and used as it should be. Great video!
Kevin Berth
Thanks!😉👍
I so appreciate your video no wasted footage, better camera work than so called professionals!
Luv the gasps - gives it nice honest credibility ;-)
Thank you so much for the nice comment.
We love doing these trails and making the videos! 😉👍
A bit of panic at 6:30 for understandable reasons. Excellent footage that makes me love my 18' 4run more everyday. :)
Thanks!!!
Yea, didn't want to trade paint with that rock!!! LOL
They are great rigs!!!!
Man That Had My Heart Racing 🤣
One of the best 4runner videos that I found so far!!! Super awesome!!!
I'm curious on what mode or setting you're using. Hope that there are some subtitles in showing what mode or setting you're using on 4runner. Something like (H4 or L4+Atrac or activate rear lock) in every trail. I'm a first timer about driving off road and it would be an educational video for everyone.
Its a great video and I believe it will be the greatest ever video for educational for another content.
Kudos to you!!! Long life for 4runners
Hi Edward,
Thanks so much for the nice comment. To be honest I just run 4 low most of time on the harder trails. I'll hit A-Trac and rear locker on steep climbs or deep water crossings. The rest of the stuff is fluff. LOL
I have the same truck, black, 2018 and here in Canada the TRD Off Road comes standard with KDSS, TRD seats and the sunroof. Great video, subscribed and liked! Question for you, do you have a lift on your truck?
Thanks! A few of the video's the truck was stock but It does have a 3inch Old Man Emu Lift with 285/70/17 KO2's
@@jimerinrose6235 Nice 4runner Dude 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is one of the most bad ass videos I’ve ever seen this should totally be a Toyota commercial
pvillaluna1 Thanks! Really appreciate the nice comment. The year two video is coming out next month. 😉👍
Love your video, perfect! Natural sounds, perfect car. Which place/country?
Thanks!!!!
I live in Florida but the video has clips from all over the US.
Arizona
California
Virginia
North Carolina
Tennessee
Florida
Great video! No stupid music, just you, the 4Runner, different terrains and your wife filming it in a professional way. I fell in love with the 4Runner.
Greetings from Bremen, Germany
Stefan Falldorf Thanks really appreciate the nice comments! Greetings from Florida! I have lots of friends in Germany. We’ve shipped 100’s of a classic cars there. You guys do love your cars!! 😉
@@jimerinrose6235 cool stuff. Old german cars like 911 and SL or americans like a Charger or Barracuda? They probably get all shiped to Bremerhaven next to me. Do you live near the keys? It looked alike in the other video at the begining in your way to the Carolina beaches.
If I had some money I would start a business to import cars from the US to Germany/Europe. Especially trucks like your 4Runner, Tacomas, Colorados etc.
Most non official (Jeeps are official within Jeep Germany) are RAM 1500's driven on LPG because it's much cheaper. All other trucks you can hardly see.
Stefan Falldorf
I sell classic American muscle cars and that’s mostly what my German friends buy. I have sent over a few older SL’s and 911’s but mostly late 60’s 70’s muscle cars. It’s a good business I think the issue with the newer cars is too much tax if the car is 30+ years old it’s a lot cheaper on taxes in Germany. They do get shipped to Bremerhaven. The bridges in the video were all near the outer banks in North Carolina. I live in Fort Myers FL south west coast.
@@jimerinrose6235 Ft. Myers? My aunt has been in Naples last christmas.
Yes, we germans buy a lot old- and youngtimer in the US and in France as well. A new trend out here could be pick up trucks from the 50's till 70's.
With the new cars and trucks: german cars have been cheaper in the US as far as I can remember. Even netto (without taxes. They are a bit higher out here with 19%).
Hi Jim and Erin, I've been following you since 2020. Love your videos, showing what the TRD OFF ROAD is capable of - truly impressive! I have a few questions:
1. What sliders are you using?
2. What tire size, brand, and load range are you using?
3. Does your TRD OFF ROAD have KDSS?
4. What lift, shocks, springs, etc are you using for the front and back?
Maybe you already have a video answering all these questions. Thank you very much in advance. Oh I a got my TRD OFF Road last Wednesday 🙂
Hi,
Congrats on the new truck! I do have a complete review and walk around on my channel will answer all of your questions. th-cam.com/video/Zrtd5qsXDbQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks! Jim and Erin
Great video! Looks like you’re having a blast. Hello from Canada. 🇨🇦
Friendly Manitoban Thanks!😉👍
Hello from Florida
Kind of scary at 1:23 going down the steep hill and the rear end kicks out to your right a bit. Were you using crawl control?
David Laperouse
I did have crawl control on that time.
You are legends! No crappy music. Also cause you own a 4runner. I own 2 4runners and both are awesome. Everyone has a lot of smack to say about the truck but when they're stick in snow or need to a tow or haul. I just smile and say, oh well, shoulda got a 4runner.
News that matter lol thanks!
They are truly great vehicles. Absolutely love mine. 😉👍
Hi. Love the vids. Keep it coming. Did you take off your sway bars?
Jose Bernardo Hi! Thanks and glad you liked the video. I did not take my sway bars off.
@@jimerinrose6235 Is it stock? It looks like it has a small lift on it?
Terri Cragen has a 3inch lift and 285’s
Great video guys! 12 minutes of just good wheeling. Of course I'm a bit biased....same truck;)

Dan Serrano th-cam.com/video/tkh2qwhvLck/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for not putting music all over this video. Made it better to watch. Did you lift your vehicle?
LOL No Problem. :)
Yea it has a lift but in some of the video's its stock.
If you see the shinny running boards it's stock.
If you see the black slider's it has a 3inch lift
Jim/Erin Rose ok. That’s what was throwing me off because some shots it looked higher than some. 👍🏾
The best video I have seen showcasing the truck's overall capabilities... and I've viewed hundreds. Toyota should be paying you guys. Love to see more
Thanks so much!!!! We only wish!!!! I think Toyota is more likely to deny our next warranty claim then pay us. LOL
I have the next video in the works just need a few more trips and it will be done.
Great video and amazing piece of machinery.4runner is on my bucket list .
Thanks!
Bad Ass. I have 2013 FJ lifted in North FL. All ur footage down south looks very familiar. Citrus Ocala etc. Nice
Thanks! Yea I'm in SW Florida. The Florida footage is from Babcock Ranch, Hard Rock, Citrus, Yucca Pen, Lazy Springs, and off 75 in North Port. I'm in SW Florida. If you are ever down here let me know I'll direct you to the good spots! ;)
@@jimerinrose6235 Will do. Appreciate it.
@@jimerinrose6235 I have the exact same 4Runner, same year and color haha, I live in south florida and I have been dying to take her on some trails. Im prepping to take her from Patagonia to Alaska next year. If you know anymore solid spots please let me know!
That hill he’s going down at the 1:30 mark is hella steep! Great video!
Thanks! ;)
Yup, this video single handedly convinced me to get a 4Runner when my wife's lease is up in less than 2 years. Will pair nicely with my pickup truck! Nothing but bigger rigs now for our growing family and long drives on the highway. Safety first :)
Mike C That’s awesome! Can’t say enough good things about the 4Runner. They really are a great all around super capable vehicle. Glad I could help with your decision!😉👍
You don't even need the TRD. Go get the Trail trim
kanamekuran23 that’s the plan.. but it’s called the TRD Off-road now.
Would you mind making a video about all your upgrades (lift kit, shocks, etc.) done to your vehicle?
Yea a bunch of people have been asking for a video like that. It will be the next video I make.
Mods video is up on the channel 😉👍

@@jimerinrose6235 Awesome, thank you! Very nice rig!
Grg Ng My pleasure, thanks.
Great video, I’d love to take my 4runner to the same places. Love that’s there no shitty music
a j Thanks!!!! Get out there! 😉👍
Piece of shit Jeep couldn’t tackle even 1/3 of this trail!! Go Toyota!!
Man..imagine if it would be a rental 4runner.
Guy wouldn't have gone easy
I know most of these +400 comments say what a great video… but here one more;
For real what a great video in
My opinion the best in TH-cam from 4Runners…
So impressive simple, amazing Real!!!
That’s the best performance of almost a stock 4runner it’s capable of doing!!
The Simplicity of why we love 4Runners
Toyota awesome!!!
Excellent video guys!!!
Thanks so much for the nice comment!
5 years and 130k miles and the 4Runner is still blazing trails! Such a great vehicle can’t say that enough!
Toyota should compensate you for all the 4 runners this video has sold. Im convinced into buying one now! Great video
Chuckie Gamber
LOL Thanks!
Let us know when you get one so I get my commission from Toyota 😂
@@jimerinrose6235 ill be sure to cc you in the email to my local Toyota sales rep!
Chuckie Gamber 😂👍
Love this video- only vehicle I have bought multiple of 4Runner TRD off road / premium. I leased one fell in love after having two Jeep wranglers in the past. As soon as I could get out of lease I bought an SR5 with all the bells and whistles but only lasted two months until trading it for a TRD off road premium x-series. This is my keeper. I don’t care if I ever want a different vehicle in the future I will pay off and keep this one as long as I can. This trucks are amazing! I tow my travel trailer all over Florida and near by states with it and I off-road on what we do have available in Florida. I saw in your video that you were in some of the spots in Florida but at around 8min in where was the rocky place? I was drooling. Im over the sand, mud and little tracks here in my state where you able to find some places in Southeast? NC or TN? Thanks for your time! Enjoy that beautiful truck! You’re doing a great job demonstrating its capabilities 😎🚙
Thanks Appreciate the comment. Yea you can’t beat a 4Runner. I’m in SW Florida just sugar sand and mud down here. I have individual trail video’s on our channel. I would recommend traveling so many cool trails out there!
Hello mate.Nice video with no 5 min bullshit and 5 sec off roading.
Your rig got factory rear diff lock and what lock did you use on front?
tear off Hello 👋
Thanks for the nice comment!
I totally know what you mean with some of the off-road video’s. 😂
The truck came from the factory with a rear locker and A-Trac.
A-trac is great, it applies the brakes to the wheel that is spinning allowing power to go to the wheel that has traction. It’s a great rig I off-road at least once a week and it only got stuck once. 😬
Jim/Erin Rose How often do you use the diff locker? I have 14 SR5 with no locker (4wd though) and I’m thinking of installing one
@@fernmon8208 I use them on the tough stuff. It makes climbing a lot easier. A couple times the truck struggled a bit and when I hit the lockers it was like getting a push in the ass!!! LOL It really depends where you wheel.
really nice video here showing what the 4runner is made to do, they are impressive. it makes me want to get rid of my tacoma and get one.
pile846 thanks!!!
Two things about this vehicle:
1) There is no need for a hood scoop on this one....so why is it there ? Hood scoops kill mileage.
2) The mileage is beyond awful. I know it's a big vehicle, but man, when gas goes to 4 bucks (and it WILL when Biden takes office), this will be too expensive to own.
I like it and would buy it, but item #2 makes me worry.
1) Who cares the hood scoop looks super cool!
2) If you are worried about MPG you should by a prius
All the stuff newer cars have ie (direct injection, CVT and 10 speed transmission, cylinder deactivations, turbo's) Gives them great MPG but kills their longevity and reliability.
Buy what you like and don't look back.
Im getting one next year but, sr5
Can you tell us about that time (or times) you were actually scared for your life or the life of your truck? I think my wife would take away my keys to the 4Runner if I showed her your videos. Erin's gasps are real 😱
I look at every obstacle as doable or not in my mind. If I decide I can do it I really don’t have much fear. It’s making that decision before hand that gives me a little bit of anxiety. If you do something enough it just becomes second nature and your confidence drives you more than fear. If you put me in a situation I don’t have confidence in then my fear will kick in.
Awesome! Guess the only advantage of Jeep would be better wheel articulation with sway bar disconnect. Would KDSS help much with that?
Thanks! Jeeps are really great off-roader's. I just don't like how they drive on road. They would be the last vehicle I'd want to drive cross country. Some of our trips we put over 5,000 highway miles round trip.
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Wanting to buy a 4runner or Tacoma TRD. What model is this? TRD off road with stock tires or TRD Pro?
Thanks! ;)
Mine is a TRD Off-Road
I planned on changing the suspension (3inch lift OME) and tires, (285/70/17 BFG KO2'S) so money would have been wasted on the Pro. Plus you can get a way better deal on a new TRD Off-Road than a new Pro.
Jim/Erin Rose what year?
In my opinion I think Toyota company should hire this guy as a test driver trucks ASAP , he is doing great 👍 good job
Mustafa Mayahi Thanks! 😉👍
I’d take that job for free!😂
Love your videos..you are proving that a basic stock 4Runner is very capable and often there is no need to spend thousands and thousand for added gears and fancy expensive upgrades.
Thanks!😉👍
Excellent video and demonstration of the 4Runner capabilities. If I only have a 4wd 4Rrunner with A-TRAC (no front or rear locking diff) do you think this is still possible? How heavily did you use locking diffs?
Thanks! You can do most trails with just 4wd and atrac. Just pick your lines and use some momentum if needed. I just have a rear locker, I use it when a climb gives me trouble.
Good video, shows the capabilities of a stock OR...the chick is a little jumpy though!!
Thanks! If you watch year 2 she's a lot less jumpy. In year 3 I think me rolling down a mountain is the only thing that would get a gasp. LOL
Goes to trade it in ( Adult owned Never off road or molested ) 😂😂😂 Jk on a real note awesome vid 👏😎 I’m looking to purchase my first 4Runner and wanted to see how well they did on the trails. This gave me the answer I was looking for. Helpful vid!
Dan the Moto man LOL 😂 Don’t worry I don’t plan on trading it in anytime soon. Going to run the wheels off this one literally! 😜 If you get a 4Runner you’ll absolutely love it. I’ve owned a lot of off-road vehicles over the years and this is by far my favorite. I have more videos on my channel highlighting different trails around the US. If you need any help on mods or trails don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks! 😉👍
4runner trd offroad off-road 4wd a-trac diff locked wheel
Is there any lift on your vehicle or just stock? I just bought a 17’ TRD off road and I’m curious if I really even need a lift or just some good AT’s?
Trevor Harlan some of the clips it’s stock others it has a 3ich lift. If you see the chrome running boards it’s stock black rock sliders it’s lifted.
Jim/Erin Rose thank you!
Jim - did you re-route the exhaust crossover right behind the transfer case? Or did you just get an extended skid plate for both the exhaust crossover and the transfer case? I Can’t quite tell in the video.
Great footage with your 4Runner. I just picked up a 2020 TRD-Pro in the Army green. My first 4Runner is a 97 that is still kicking after 276k miles!
Kirk Rasmussen Thanks and congrats on the new 4Runner that color is badass!!! I bought the three piece skid plates so yes it covers the exhaust crossover and transfer case. I highly recommend going steal instead of aluminum. 276k that’s not even broken in!😂
Jim/Erin Rose - thanks for the response! Yes the 97 is running strong, manual with the rear locker, it has definitely seen some adventures! What is the brand of the steel 3 piece skid plate that you use? Thanks again for the info and great video!
Kirk Rasmussen RCI steel, pretty good my only complaint is the welds on the front skid are not the best I cracked one the first time out. 😕
Hey Jim, do you have crawl control, locking diff, and Atrac on your 4runner? And if you, how often do you use them? We are getting ready o buy a 4runner and are either going to get SR5 Premium or Off Road Premium. We're just not sure if the extra 4x4 features are worth it. Appreciate any feedback from on any 4runner owner. Thanks!
I have crawl control, terrain select, rear locker and Atrac. It all comes standard on the TRD Off-road and Pro. I use the rear locker and ATrac the most. I rarely use crawl control/terrain select. I would absolutely recommend getting the TRD Off-Road Premium. 😉👍
@@jimerinrose6235 Great thanks for the recommendation! By the way, did you KDSS on yours and if so do you recommend it?
Cris Gonzalez My pleasure! I do not have KDSS so I really can’t say. I’m really happy with my OME suspension love the way it drives handles way better than stock. I’m sure the ride with KDSS is also way better than stock. I know the KDSS does make some of the mods a little harder.
I will never buy a 4runner off road used
I have a 16 trd off road (silver) mine is stock with bfg ko’s in stock size. This are pretty indestructible vehicles long as you use your head when off roading. Is your truck stock with a set of bfg’s or do you have some suspension work done ? What size tires ? This is an excellent video !!!
Mike Jr Hi again. I responded in your other comment. In this video some of these clips the truck was stock. Click on the description to see how to tell, specs are also listed there. Thanks again for the comment.
So you made it to hardrock in florida, looks like utah, North Carolina or tennessee all in 1 year. Good job. Just bought my wife the same 4runner and I have a fully locked 1998.
JBird117 lol Yes Hard Rock and a other trails in FL, Tennessee and North Carolina, California and Arizona To see Utah, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Virginia you’ll have to watch this years video th-cam.com/video/tkh2qwhvLck/w-d-xo.html 😂
Congrats on the new 4Runner! 3rd gens are bad ass too. My buddy just bought one it’s in another one of my videos.
What tires do you have on there?
BFG KO2"s 285/70/17
Jim/Erin Rose looks awesome!
i will never buy a toyota 4runner used never
Lucky Frank I don’t think people sell 4Runners they just keep them forever! 😂
I got mine used but it was a lease driven by the dealership owner's wife... completely stock and low miles. Didn't think twice. It's not so stock now!

Great vid!! With the 285 KO2s did u need to do a body mount chop or was there not much rubbing even with the toytec 3” lift?
Thanks! I did not have to do a body mount chop
Great vid and representation of this vehicles capabilities
Brad Anderson Thanks!😉👍
I have a childhood friend who told me that I need a better car when I told him that I had a 4Runner. I had to give him a pass cause he's an old friend. A few minutes of your adventures and I can't see how anything else could be better.
Derrick Medina
You need a better friend!!! 😂 lol
Just kidding, unless you’re in the off-road community people have no clue just how good these trucks are. I keep pushing mine further and further and it just doesn’t give up. If you have time go to my channel I have a lot more videos working out the the 4Runner. Thanks!
Great compilation showing why these mountain goats are worth buying. Don't need the screaming girl panicking every time a wheels comes up tho. Sheesh. Everything is in control until someone starts freaking out the driver. lol
Thanks!! Yea She's a screamer! LOL
When you were bogged at 11:00, did water come inside under the doors? Haven't had mine in a deep deep crossing, yet, and always wondered just how "waterproof" those door seals are.
Noxious News I did get some water on the passenger floor matt so the door seals are not 100% water proof especially if your sitting in it for a little while.
I think I saw some Hard rock off road park, maybe a little Citrus? Other places definitely weren't Florida lol.
Spot on!!!!
ol Honking Jim
😂 sorry
Looks like fun! Earlier this year I picked up 2013 Trail Edition T4R, silver as well. I've had it for 15k miles now, and STILL haven't had any offroad fun with it! Hopefully soon. Looking forward to some snow wheeling this winter here in New England.
Michael Smith Thanks!! Once you do get it off road you will be addicted 😂
@@jimerinrose6235 thanks! I'm sure it will, back when I had a modded Grand Cherokee I really enjoyed wheeling that. It's just tough finding places to go here in New England. Luckily the 4Runner is very comfortable and also makes a great commuter, haha.
Just bought my 2019 off road today. Same color. You know every single inch of that truck. Awesome driving and great footage. Makes me proud of my purchase. Now if only I could learn to drive it like that. Edited: I guess I should of asked if it's lifted at all and what size tires you are running?
Thanks! :) Congrats on the new truck!!!
In some of the video's mine is stock.
If you see the chrome running boards it's stock.
If you see the black slider's it has a lift.
The upgrades it has are OME 3inch suspension from ToyTec, SPC adjustable UCA's, RCI full steel skids, RSG Sliders, rear end breather relocated to gas cap and BFG KO2's 285/70/17's. I also did a TJM Snorkel last week. Can't say enough good things about the KO'2. In my opinion they are the best all around tire you can buy!!!!
Wow! That was a very impressive demonstration of 4Runner Off-Road capability. Certainly more than I would have believed possible. Toyota should pay you for it and use it to sell more of these trucks / SUVs. ;-)
John Roth Thanks!! 😉👍
I’m all for Toyota paying for my trips but I doubt that’ll happen. 😂
@@jimerinrose6235 LOL ....LOL .... LOL
At 1:46, the creek crossing, is that hurricane creek trail?
Yes!
Are you guys using a lift kit or is factory height?
pulpanochamasterif
In some of the clips it’s bone stock in others it has a 3inch OME lift. Easy way to tell if you see the chrome running boards it’s stock if you see the black sliders it has the lift installed.
It's swain that folks with money don't baby their shut. My 93 0n 35s is doing good for me
Leslie Detrick
Hate the game not the player!😉
What tires were or are those??...nvm.. bfgoodrich all terrain t/a
BFG KO2’s
@@jimerinrose6235 😊 Thank you.
Jeep Wrangler would have called it a day after seeing the first task ....the dirt ...
Love that build!!! My wife and I just purchased our 1st and hopefully only 2020 4Runner TRD off road premium and can't wait to take it out for some dirty fun!
Any fitment issues with the 285/70/17's on the factory rims?
Toyota told me I couldnt run "33's" on the stock rims stating the factory rims were'nt wide enough.
I realize 285's are closer to 32.8" but I've got 295's on my factory rims with a 4" rancho lift on my GMC sierra and the only problem I have is no offset on the rim so the tires rub on the upper control arms on tight radius turns.
Did you have to run a wheel spacer for the factory rims to work with out rubbing?
Terry Fenner Thanks! Congrats on the new truck! No issues with 285/70/17 tires on the factory rims. The dealer is incorrect the TRD Off-Road rims are 7.5 wide TRD Pro rims are 7.0 wide. With 285/70/17 tires 7.5inch rims are recommended. Pro rims are technically too small, but they will work with 285/70/17’s. I have a 3inch OME loft and adjustable UCA. I set my alignment caster above +4 degrees. I also removed the front mud flaps and moved the front plastic liner forward a couple inches. Get that new truck dirty!😂
@@jimerinrose6235 Thanks for the info! We plan to run the rubber off these stock tires and then run a set of AT's before we lift it. Any idea how big a tire will fit without a lift? Great content. Looks like lots of low range action.
Terry Fenner Thanks!! We are out in Colorado now. Running some awesome trails I’ll upload the vids when we get back. You can sell the factory tires otherwise it’s going to take you a long time to wear them out. Just because what we do, I buy a new set of tires every year before our big trip. You’d be surprised how well used tires sell on Facebook. I think 275’s/70/17’s will fit without a lift but I’ve never had that setup.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting!!
Romeo 😉👍
someone years later is gonna buy this thing used with 80k miles and think they're getting a great deal lmao

@@jimerinrose6235 never sell it, it's too pretty
@@LongBoy.0 Thanks!
No plans to sell it. We are getting ready for a 5000 miles trip next month.

Amazing video👍🏽👍🏽
Mohballack Doucoure Thanks really appreciate the comment!
I believe when I get my new one in a few weeks I will save this kind of terrain for my 2005 4 Runner
anyone else love the honk around 3:00? lol
😂 yea I like to let the rocks know I’m coming
Where did u take this at or is it a collage of videos
Collage of clips. If you go to my channel I also have videos of each trail.
Stock? Or lifted?
In some of the clips the truck was completely stock.Easy way to tell if you see chrome running boards it was stock. The upgrades it has are OME 3inch suspension from ToyTec, SPC adjustable UCA's, RCI full steel skids, RSG Sliders, rear end breather relocated to gas cap and BFG KO2's 285/70/17's.
4:25 nice AND Easy.
You should do the commercials for Toyota , this was a great video
eliteinventor Thanks so much!!! 😉👍
@Jim/Erin Rose your welcome I look forward to more great vids , take care
Do you have the 3 inch lift on it the first year?
In some if the videos. If you see the factory chrome running boards the truck is stock. I put the black sliders on when I did the lift .
Do you do anything extra after all the in-water driving? Drain/fill transfer case, rear diff...?
Scott T No, I extended the rear diff breather to the gas cap location and the front diff and transfer case have raised breathers from the factory. I changed the rear diff once and it didn’t have any water in it. The truck has over 40k on it now at 50k I plan on changing the front and rear diff ,transfer case, and trans fluid. I do have a snorkel on order. 😉
