1jz Swapped Tacoma XRunner?? Built-to-Drift Pickup Slays our Yard

Pro-Am drifter / Toyota enthusiast Brian has been with his Tacoma X Runner since day 1. At some point he decided that a single turbo 1jz would be a better fit for his truck drifting shenanigans - and the world became a better place because of it.

[@thedontdieproject8694]

That was so damn sick. I have been inspired. I'm getting a project today if not tomorrow. Dope vid

[@rad8078]

Greg Hutch record it if you do get a project

[@lukebarnard7684]

Vin VS Kikawa daily space race

[@thedontdieproject8694]

I will for sure. It's a different type of build tho

[@Soysaucerc]

The filming, editing, quotes, and shots in this vid plus the build and the vehicle he started with all combine for craziness

[@thedontdieproject8694]

So I bought my project. A 87 K5 definitely gonna need love but I will give it to her. I made my first ever video to. It's terrible but a quick into to the ttuck

[@nottommy1002]

Whoever edited this episode deserves a damn raise. Those effects brought me back

[@enriquepastor3626]

0rang3z old daily transmission days

[@noahj1593]

I bet it was kado

[@Mrimnotfluffy]

Maybe young Kado came back for one last HOORAH!, defiantly had his flare.

[@noahj1593]

Felix Del Rio they had him back to help with some editing they were behind on. I bet this wss one.

[@nissan300zxmike]

Flare reddit reference? @Felix

[@Hoi4ofgender]

These Pro-Am guys got wicked builds that are hella creative. Keep these guys coming back they deserve the recognition

[@jward803]

I endorse this 100%.

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

You should get drone so we could see the whole smoke cloud after these :D

[@colestowing8695]

I cant believe I'm the first one to notice that you commented - You guys are awesome, hello from the USA!

[@LOUDFARTNOISES]

Oh hey

[@pebblez_]

Da fuccc u here too?!!!

[@PolarisEricson]

I dont know why but this episode was such a throwback to the old DT days. I absolutely love how the channel has grown, but I defenitely cherish the old days. Keep doin the sends mydudes.

[@Neozev]

BRING BACK DAILY TRANSMISSION

[@markernest2254]

That dude has such great natural enthusiasm! Sometimes I get the sense that people featured are putting up a little front for the camera - this guy was just nonchalant, and ready to get some!

[@Travelakad]

Damn! That 1J can rev all day long! That engine is strong AF!

[@gregorizi]

and tune

[@qqqqqq724]

wasnt shit. seen and had countless motors bang off redline way longer way harder.

[@av3n..353]

qqqqqq724 calm your tits buddy, always will be a straight 6 or NHRA v8 that will rev 'til your pickle gets a tickle, but don't mean it'll last you regardless if it's toyoter or audi or whatever your preference is, every engine can be built limitless but doesn't make it indestructible . Besides my r6 goes to 11k cruising 😎

[@logankotz6851]

as if someone with a bunch of q's in their name is credible lol

[@chickenfishhybrid44]

Given.. it's a Toyota after all

[@MicahDiaz]

That was sick. Trying to swing man line in that beast. Guts

[@670fastcrf]

Micah Diaz seeing an access cab taco in there makes me realize how small that compound is!!! Even more respect for how you killed it in your e46!!!

[@ryanlott6309]

Would be fun to see you two do something together.

[@XJR15ftw]

Dude, your run was easily the most epic RWD run ever made there. Please come back!

[@colinhawley8050]

Not even three seconds in, and it's already on par with the beater Viper last Monday. What a truck, and what a Build Breakdown. In the immortal words of Nigel Thornberry, Smashing

[@spencerpearson1321]

Hey man, I always see u down here. Love ur profile picture.

[@elliott_d33]

He had an #AINTCARE sticker on the dash

[@colinhawley8050]

Elliott Downer missed it first time through.

[@enriquepastor3626]

I agree with that guy being pretty awkward and sometimes even a wannabe douche... But hey man not everyone has the skills, if the guy or anyone have nice cars, why shouldn't they come and show them if hoonigan invites them?

[@madmax-fg7du]

At least he stuck with a Toyota engine -Nice build

[@rogerwhitley9478]

mad max I said the say thing

[@OMFGSTFUWTFBOLILLO]

mad max My only wonder why did he swap out the 4.0L V6 that comes stock lol yes it doesn't have the most power but you can turbo the stock motor or even supercharge it...

[@remar-6]

OMFGSTFUWTFBOLILLO in-line over V any day.

[@Nycist]

Stole that BOV right off of Brian O’Connor’s Eclipse😂 Awesome send though.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Quality content. Every episode gets better and better!

[@zachcolon4563]

Manline in that long ass truck AND tried to whip 180s on the dock... savage 💀😂

[@joealex65]

1JZ Tacoma? DAMN! This is just PURE madnes!!!!!

[@arturgrudzien5258]

at last someone with a good "this is Wrap! " That was just awesome

[@XanderJuhasz]

Keep the pro-am guys coming. They just build it and send it! I love the enthusiasm they have! I’ve wanted an x-runner since 2005, and I want one more now than ever lmao. The guy killed it! This is hands down my favorite video from y’all!

[@pudymelon3560]

Tacoma throwing harder than some of the cars!!!!!

[@thedudeprime4677]

The blowoff valve sounds like those thick bendy straws when you blow through them

[@Josh-py2in]

The Dudeprime better be careful, bendy straws get you jail time and a fine these days

[@michael_graper]

Lol

[@Malibus_Most_Wanted]

lol but yeah i dont like the sound of it i like rally sounding ones more

[@NN-pr8ru]

*ＴＯＹＯＴＡ* 💕💕💕

[@riperoni861]

10:48 This hit on a personal level.

[@brodeygary7693]

Everything about that truck drifting felt so wrong BUT MY GOD was it beautiful. Well done brian

[@thedudeprime4677]

Never did I think a Tacoma could shred like that

[@mkIIIsupras]

Join the page supratrucks on facebook and you will see all sorts of taco's shredding.

[@Toyota4Life]

Stop sleeping on toyotas cars.

[@Toyota4Life]

the Xrunner was faster then the 350z around a racetrack when it first came out

[@Itsdanej]

Today is my birthday. Waking up to a 1JZ swapped Taco build video was like you guys read my mind. One of my favorite motors and favorite trucks! Thanks Hoonigans for the great content!

[@dramad2974]

Sdxrunner@xru, the 1st I know of in so cal to go straight missle drift in an x. Setting trends. You all know who I'm talking about, he deserves some credit imo.

[@spencerpearson1321]

Ah the sweet headache that comes from screeching tires an turbo blowoffs.

[@MasterDrhd]

As a 2005 xrunner owner I cringed when he smashed his bumper into the wall. 1jz xrunner is bad ass. I offten dream of putting a 2jz in mine. Great video

[@Ned669]

Dude this guys awesome.. makes me think I need to get back to improving my 2006 Tacoma. Much respect

[@carnoises5726]

hes the living embodiment of a psycho from borderlands, and what would be their drift machine, this man is a legend 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@wootystyletv]

WITNESS ME!

[@Kyoju252]

The JZ memes tho. 💀💀💀

[@masaharumorimoto4761]

That's why I LOVE hoonigans in the morning!!! Takes me from sleepy-head to full ear to ear smile! Thanks fellas!!!!

[@johndough8413]

Hert getting all philosophical. That's life advice right there.

[@joshbacon8241]

*”POWERRRRRRR!!!!”* _- Jeremy Clarkson_

[@BloodyPandaAE86]

really unfortunate that Clarkson Hammond & May hate modded cars 😞

[@noodlecake7410]

he has room for a another turbo 😂

[@Zapperzz99]

**another 3 turbos

[@alexstromberg7696]

"4 liter with only 240hp?" well you yanks had 7 liters with like 150hp so nothing new

[@TDJDriftersBoss]

Alex Strömberg they will make 240hp for 1 million miles

[@muzz3564]

Love Brian,kinda mild mannered to chat with and then a Beast behind the wheel!! WOOOO

[@prabawajayakusuma4111]

He smiles look like Cleetus McFarland

[@johnw3443]

be back after the vid ;) Edit: Brian killed it ! didn't think he'd go for the dock but then not only went for it but got it turned around ?!! Shit Yes he did! The Drift Slayer slays for sure! Thanks Hoonigan :) PS : you know that ain't the first time Johnny been smoked out and won't be the last XD

[@RockerboiProduction]

Dude, Xrunners in general are amazing. I would love one.

[@xxENDSxTHExROUND]

RB Productions I’d recommend one. Been having mine for 13 years and haven’t had a single problem with it

[@123vaw123]

Just get a nismo 2wd frontier...

[@DerekSanford]

I bought mine brand new in 2005. Had it for 11 years without a single problem and someone totaled it! I was so sad to see it go, I absolutely loved my Xrunner. It was such a blast to drive. I even did autocross with it. RIP Scarlet. 😢

[@leroystill3178]

I picked up an '06 X-Runner. Race Day Blue. I call it the Blue Bastard. Besides routine maintenance and wear & tear, they're a solid truck. "Stock" suspension from the factory is eibach gas piston shocks and springs.

[@Dezcoma]

I have known Brian for many many years. Hey slays anything he touches! Good job buddy!

[@Frietpan]

that bov gives me flashbacks to the fast and the furious :D

[@BFE08STI]

Horrible

[@wootystyletv]

it sounds just like the one on the eclipse when it burns up.

[@tyd7699]

That’s exactly what I was thinking

[@spoollife4470]

Can’t wait to see gingium’s drift truck here :)

[@jonyrho]

Dang one of the few people that do a proper "That's a wrap!!!". That truck is so sickk

[@johnmiller9756]

The best That's A Wrap yet. By far my favorite channel. Keep up the great work guys. Garage Garage is my favorite series.

[@regular_squid]

You guys need to do build biology on some of Ken’s cars. Getting a closer look into RTR’s work would be awesome. (Hint hint)

[@flavortown8532]

Caleb Kim yeah sift through the ashes of the cossie (RIP)

[@user-gdawg]

Flavortown lol

[@brandonmows]

Flavortown what happened to it?

[@gxrbge3207]

Brandon Zgadzaj check the bonus channel

[@MrMrsregor]

:( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6ngpp6nK6qldU

[@mind7933]

Yo I stayed up Friday night forgetting that you guys don’t post those days. That’s how much I’m addicted to this channel

[@TheHoonigans]

Check out our Bonus Channel for weekend uploads, we got you 👊

[@richdiscoveries]

With the echo of that 1J screaming and those red headlights peering through the smoke when he was on the dock at the end, absolutely perfect!!

[@jakeeclouse4799]

That bov is my favorite. I love the sound of it. That truck is sick.

[@KiingTx]

American flag on a JDM truck with a JDM engine. Pretty dope

[@mranderson6840]

I love how he keeps kicking it and and it just flops around 😂

[@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943]

1J and 2J when they are reved up right before the limiter holding that rpm doing a burny sanders, they sound like nothing else out there!! When you get two side by side and they start to harmonize off one another is even more badder ass!! Love it!!

[@D34ADCH]

This dude seems super genuine and cool. Awesome build too.

[@harrimannn]

This is possibly the most American thing I've seen in a non American truck

[@kmacho714]

Harrison Schneider the Tacoma was made in America.

[@redlion145]

"Made" is a fuzzy term. It was designed by Toyota engineers, probably in Japan. But it was manufactured, assembled and sold entirely in the US by US labor. So there's leeway to see it both ways.

[@Public_Beds]

JDMlove On American soil...

[@SombraGT]

Proudly made in USA

[@ttv.4761]

That man is a savage, tried to whip 180s on the dock IN A TRUCK!! It said you had 43 views 42 likes so I gave you your 43rd like. 100/100

[@BeardedAsshole420]

another savage build never thought id see a pick up drifter let alone a tacoma. but it looks and performs great. love how the headlights are red so while the truck is consumed by the smoke all you see is the red lights which some may think look like evil eyes

[@kentucky9976]

I absolutely love this guy. Everything about it is soooooooo inspiring

[@warlordmedia5304]

That one single grey hair on hurts beard 🧔

[@TheScarcrow]

Crook boys Society came here to see if anyone was going to mention it lol.

[@LurkMoar101]

So when people keep telling me I cant drift my stock VF V6 auto commodore, I have [HOONIGAN]s full blessing to beat the shit out of it?

[@jacobstofmeel3619]

LurkMoar101 pfft, you have the whole of Australia's blessing mate lol

[@M-F-CORGI]

lol, its not that you cant, the car wont drift, you never will get it in a drift.

[@jacobstofmeel3619]

Adam Lazyboy lol true. I have a mate that drifts his VS commie with just the 3.8, manual and a spooled diff, doesn't win events but has good cheap fun.

[@LurkMoar101]

Challenge Accepted.

[@M-F-CORGI]

Manual and locked diff is alot better then a boat of a auto vf

[@Soysaucerc]

Best Hoonigan episode I’ve seen EVER Too many quotes just in this episode to even go through and list. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. LOVED IT

[@rjaybruhh]

*_I saw a blue one pull into my block a few days ago._* It reminded me of this car so I immediately came back to watch this video. Such an inspirational whip!

[@moteros_garage6522]

Lets not forget hoonigan vs roadkill #roadkillvshoonigan

[@xDeeezy]

after each BB episode i can't imagine the next video beating it, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY DAMN TIME

[@bromer9669]

Love these different builds. You guys should toss the drone up to see how RIDICULOUS the smoke is from above.

[@bloodtearssweat1373]

Iv watched almost all your videos, but this episode is by far the best hands down.

[@AnthonySvt_]

That blow of valve on some sifi shit

[@E_tiBEAMERBOY]

Always gotta stay up for these late night posts

[@BloodyPandaAE86]

11:49 my born-again soul just died a little. and I love X-Runners 😭😭😭😭😭

[@Issac_G]

This guy was right at home , killed it

[@reneschwickart7168]

The Cut to the Star Wars Scene lmao. THumbs up from me

[@prabawajayakusuma4111]

This man love his car so much he decided to use it as a drift car. This should be a romantic movie

[@xxENDSxTHExROUND]

Love this episode. Have an Xrunner myself and I would dream of a day they’d have a build breakdown for it. Finally my dream came true!

[@slcWINGS11]

Smiled through the whole video. That was awesome

[@spencerpearson1321]

SIDEWAYS MINI-TRUCK MADNESS!!!

[@trapzillagaming3900]

3am and i havent tapped my bed yet wtf 😂😂😂😂...well gotta watch it

[@kingldm]

Wow.. sick truck and a decent shred.. those pops and bangs make me happy

[@dominictopping5388]

Wow that was crazy! I never thought I'd see a pick-up doing a 180 up on the dock. That takes some balls.

[@dragodb]

[@taylorjulian2357]

@ 3:50 hert is like “i seen you driving this truck back when you had the 6 cyl in there” 😂

[@eddiebower8883]

Some of the best driving I’ve ever seen

[@HurrJimus]

That blow-off valve sound is so sharp it hurts my ears

[@Malibus_Most_Wanted]

yeah little to ear rapey for my taste

[@unknownlfa]

Can anyone go to hoonigan to look around ?🤔 been waiting till yall posted to ask lmao , thought it was best way

[@andrewbowman2976]

LFAuto they have a merch shop there so technically yes

[@MechanicalSlime]

Yeah, from memory the bakery (the little shop they have) is open a few days a week.

[@mugetsu5752]

The merch shop usually only opens on Saturdays, but they will usually post on the Hoonigan story when they’re open

[@christianrobicheaux8381]

This guy may not be "the best" but he STRAIGHT KILLED YALLS YARD. Way more than anyone I've seen recently.

[@Fruitbootin101]

This is by far my favorite drift build I have ever seen!

[@alfonsoalonzo]

Awesome story and clean build or as clean as a abused with love drift tacoma can be P.S. think guy needs some bigger wheels

[@tenochfabela7569]

[@benwhiting7682]

Those glowing red eyes coming through the smoke looked incredible

[@TheRealBleach]

A freaking tacoma. A TACOMA

[@FlyingSparks12336]

The Real Bleach it’s like a Japanese c10

[@romeosandoval2136]

History was made on this day, the truck may have not been lifted , but it for sure was drifted, the yard was filled with desire, thank god that sh** didn’t catch fire

[@LowNSlowIII]

I need to finish my twin turbo LS swap now. I've got so much work to do to my S10 before then but I am inspired by this guy, hard work and dedicated pays off and it's totally worth it in the end!

[@HazardSports]

10:48 TRUTH straight from the Man Himself! 💪 Nicely said!

[@WildEngineering]

one of my favorite guests since Hert 2029, speaking of which, why hasnt he been around lately?

[@agoodballet]

It’s gonna be a rough Monday, late night KZbin > early Monday mornings.

[@colbyrilling9919]

Andrew Goodballet so true I gotta be at work at 7 and it's almost 3 so no sleep for me tonight

[@KONTRAone]

EPIC throwdown... Homie went INNN! That taco has a lot of character 👍 and you lot have officially inspired me to do a drift build on my W8 passat! Can I has a build breakdown?

[@ObscuredMotivations]
