The HC additions were a nightmare no matter how accurate my measurements were the plastic corners to the wheel well never fit right took another hour of trimming down
Thank you for continuing to provide quality detailed content! It looks like you are running B-5100’s but are you on stock springs? If so, had any issues? I’m about to do the same install (but w/ smittybilt winch) and am a little concerned about the stock springs. From what I’ve read, some say they’ll be okay while some say to upgrade...🤔
Just bought a 2014 runner trail and I love the look of the c4lopro. Just what I want for my ride. I'm in ND. You mentioned that c4 is located in SD?. Anyway,......
Since he hasn't responded yet, I can offer that, according to the C4 web site the bumper weighs 75lbs., and the winch he's using weighs about 50lbs. I would imagine the light bar weighs no more than 10lbs (I saw a 30" Baja light bar that weighs 6.5 lbs, and it looked a little smaller, so 10lbs is probably a pretty close estimate). Hope that helps.
So it's been a number of months, are you still happy with your decision? Would you do anything different next time? I've been wanting a new bumper and winch and your video makes it look super doable.
this is perfect. im 67, so I dont want to make my runnr look too agressive, lol! yep, this, KO2's at stock size, upgrade to all LED's and my 2018 off road premium will last me a long long time and be capable enough if needed!
Just a heads up if you're unaware brother, the Evo VR 10S wireless winch has been recalled and they now only offer a wired only option or a $100 dongle to use your cellphone as a remote.
Was the winch problem on one of your videos? I don't remember. I bought a Rough Country winch for my 4R so I'd like to know what broke. I did the LFD hidden winch bumper and love the look. How do you get to the clutch control on the winch? I had the same concerns on that power steering line and ended up bending the brackets toward the radiator and even bent the line itself. Good video.
Thanks for the wonderful detail. I will be purchasing the C4 in the next day or two. What was your logic on the C4 with or without the bull bar? I like the clean look without and slightly less weight. Any second thoughts on your choice or comments about functional advantage with either the mid or higher bar? I have the 2017 Off Road 4runner, also in white. Thanks again!
Thank you for great details about the install. I have 5th gen as well (2021) and looking to do the same upgrade. Did you consider CBI bumper and if so what made you pick C4? (Im torn between the 2). Thank you!
I had that same bumper but with the bull bar when I had my 4Runner.. even bought the C4 low profile bumper for a FJ Cruiser I had but never got around to install it before I sold it. hint hint if you lived closer to Texas Mike I’d let you have it for free.. but shipping to Oregon might be pricey… :)
I considered the C4 bumper for the FJ and decided to keep it stock but if I did it again I'd go with that. I wish Oregon was a little closer to Texas! I'd still consider paying the shipping if you want to see what it costs to 97703 :-)
Very nice! I'd start with some good tires... from there it really depends on what all you want to do with it. Sliders, rooftop tent, winch bumper would all be nice options if you're planning on some overlanding.
Did you have to put in a front leveler kit? I was thinking of doing this w/ my 21 TRD OR but dont know if it weighs down the front of the vehicle too much.
do you really need to pull the whole plastic front end off? I saw a CBI Bumper install and they do the cutout in place. I ordered a bumper and not sure which way to go. what do you recommend?
@@DeLaneyDays he never answered my question but i ended up removing the plastic front end. It’s easier than it looks but take your time so you don’t ruin any of the tabs. With the plastic front end off it’s easier to trim it. It also makes the bumper, winch and light bar easier to install. Taking it off is the best thing to do.
That remote is cool. I got my c4 bumper about 3 weeks ago and with the same lights. Question… extreme lights website suggest I get the other remote for the lights that we both have. But that doesn’t have the I guess relay like yours in the photo on their site shows. So kinda confused as to which remote to buy. Thank you if you can help.
@@DrivenCompanion Yeah that one did seem to need a lot of work. I would keep your eyes out for one that is in great shape, but be warned you will be shelling out more money. The 3rd gens are very much in demand and the prices are gettin up there.
Awesome video man. It's hard to find one going through the details you've walked us through. Makes this project look much simplier than it could be.
Glad it was helpful!
The HC additions were a nightmare no matter how accurate my measurements were the plastic corners to the wheel well never fit right took another hour of trimming down
Great video man. Lots of hardwork between the install and the editing!! Really like your channel i have a 21 taco. Excited for more of your videos
2:14 😂😂 I was like what's happening. Nice video man 👍
does the truck sag now?
Thanks for sharing, well explained and gives me the confidence that I could do this as well.
Not everyone clicked away. Well done. Great touch with the call out overlays.
Looks great! The ac tube didn't get in the way? I have installed victory 4x4 , same winch. The ac tube on the passenger side gets in the way!
This was super helpful great job ! How do you like your duratrac tires? How are they in deep snow and on ice?
Great video! My light bar is going bad, any way you see being able to replace it without complete removal or the c4
Looking good. Great video editing quality.
4runner has blank aux switches that you can run to through the console for switches
What did you use to cut the bumper?
I used Dremel 3000 rotary tool. Use lower rotation speed as high speed will melt the plastic
Awesome, it looks like factory installed. I love that you kept the original look integrity
C4 Brother Jab! Ha ha! Great vid. Looks great on the rig!
Thank you for continuing to provide quality detailed content!

Thanks for the positive feedback and yes they are the stock springs and I have no complaints post-winch!
@@DrivenCompanion Awesome, thank you!

how much does your front weight now with the bumper/winch/lightbar?
Since he hasn't responded yet, I can offer that, according to the C4 web site the bumper weighs 75lbs., and the winch he's using weighs about 50lbs. I would imagine the light bar weighs no more than 10lbs (I saw a 30" Baja light bar that weighs 6.5 lbs, and it looked a little smaller, so 10lbs is probably a pretty close estimate).

157 lbs

Thank you for the great video! Have you experienced any change of handling the car before and after installing the winch?
That full lo pro ran me around 900
Allocation of fog light wiring? Where did you stick them back on to?
What if you don’t want the winch?
Love the vid, you mentioned the ground wire but where did you mount it to the frame? I see if goes on the back of the winch..
Great video! Approximate price you paid for powder coating the bumper?
I found a local guy in TX he wanted 285.00
Nice job on the video!!! How much sag did you notice after install?
Just a heads up if you're unaware brother, the Evo VR 10S wireless winch has been recalled and they now only offer a wired only option or a $100 dongle to use your cellphone as a remote.
I just bought the same winch and it ships with the updated wireless remote.
How do you access the winch? Plug in the controller and unwind the cable?

I prefer the look without the bull bar and it doesn't seem to offer any real added functionality either
This looks so good! Will be my next ugprade

I just like the look of this one more.

Looks good. Nice job.
I just got a 2020 4runner pro army green, what mods/upgrades would you recommend to get first?
Very nice! I'd start with some good tires... from there it really depends on what all you want to do with it. Sliders, rooftop tent, winch bumper would all be nice options if you're planning on some overlanding.
Excellent job 👏
Did you have to put in a front leveler kit? I was thinking of doing this w/ my 21 TRD OR but dont know if it weighs down the front of the vehicle too much.
Given the stock rake on the 4Runner I'd definitely do at least a leveling kit. Mine was already lifted slightly on BIlstein 5100s.
@@DrivenCompanion thanks for the info
do you really need to pull the whole plastic front end off? I saw a CBI Bumper install and they do the cutout in place. I ordered a bumper and not sure which way to go. what do you recommend?
Did you ever get this question answered anywhere else? I’m wondering the same thing.

Not sure unfortunately... this was the recommended remote with the light bar when I ordered it...
@@DrivenCompanion Do you have more info on that remote?
Great how to video! With the extra weight of the bumper and winch, did you lose any overall lift or get any sagging in the front end?
Probably a small amount but it's nothing noticeable
looking good did u upgrade the tires to 285's
Yep! th-cam.com/video/ZIWnY81iaXg/w-d-xo.html
Where did you mount the license plate?
Under the front passenger seat! No tickets yet but it may be coming yet...
Nice, do you still have you 1999 4 Runner?
Nope, it was overly problematic so we got rid of it
@@DrivenCompanion Yeah that one did seem to need a lot of work. I would keep your eyes out for one that is in great shape, but be warned you will be shelling out more money. The 3rd gens are very much in demand and the prices are gettin up there.
