I have been slowly making updates as needed as well, and it looks like a lot of the stuff I have been contemplating has been done to your rig. I have had my eye on a grill that looks very similar to that one, just recently bought the ko2's, and have a lift on the way. Thanks for showing me the potential of what mine may be looking like in the next couple weeks!

I've also got an 05 v8. I love it. I have Falken Wildpeak MTs and they're quite nice, but I think I'll get some ATs like K02s for my next set, as I had some on my previous 97 4runner and I liked them more than the Falken's I've got now. Since you're looking into suspension, I've got Dobinsons IMS coilovers and I've been extremely impressed with them. I highly recommend it if you're looking at suspension.

But since the car has not been garaged these 18 years, clear coat is peeling badly. Need to address that. But other than that, no issues other than regular maintenance. BTW-you may want to consider rustproofing the frame.

The lights on the frame underneath that light up when doors open, was it hard to configure or setup and was the headunit regarding the backup camera hard to setup as well? Wondering if you can do a video on how you set those 2 up. I like how minimal you kept it and love all the interior infotainment is. I'm hopefully will be getting into a 4 runner again soon because I have 3 dogs and will be most likely be setting up the back cargo and seating area the same. Glad I stumbled onto your channel and video! Out of everything you set up, I like the wheel setup, infotainment inside from the phone holder to screen and backup area was cool. I'd want the same setup. I listen to a lot of music when I'm driving and my girls do too so hopefully I can set it up for them. They love sticking their heads out the window and going bye bye is what going for a ride means for them. I'll be mostly going to Cali hitting the road with them alot.

Hey thanks man! Means so much. Im happy with how its turned out and appreciate all the positive feedback. The joying head unit was a risk but it has really paid off, its been great for me. Since I posted this video I upgraded the cloth to black leather via a premade kit by a company called Katzkins. I was planning to make another video on that and can include some sections to talk about the under lights and back up camera. The back up camera wasnt too difficult to install, hardest part was threading the cable through the rubber sleeving to get it to the spoiler. I accidentally wired the cable too short and made it way harder than it needed to be. Alway be sure to add way more slack in the wiring than you think you'll need! Lesson learned. Be on the lookout for that updated video.

Thanks man! Not a problem, I found so much helpful info on YT to give me inspiration so I'm happy to give back. The phone mount was originally mounted with double sided tape (3M commercial grade very high bond) for about a year before it started to fail. Since this video was posted I went ahead and drilled two holes to add bolts to hold it to the dash. I figured if I was happy with the location for a year I might as well make the mount more secure. Only bad thing is that it sometimes gets in the way of large water bottle or cup if i need to put one in that location.

Did you have a link to the joying wiring harness? All of the harnesses seem to be for the non American models on the website. Great video!

Thanks! When I ordered the joying head unit, I added in the Toyota wiring harness it recommended. I couldn’t find the link, the website isn’t the most descriptive unfortunately. It must’ve changed since I ordered. I’d bet the non American model would use the same harness though.

16mpg city, 18mpg highway. I got about 3mpg better before the mods. Tires made the biggest impact on the fuel economy.

I bought a trd grill from someone who had a Tacoma and basically hacked away until it fit in the spot of the 4Runner grill. With the help of many zip ties and epoxy we’ve got a finished product. Cover it all with a coat of paint and it looks brand new!

I took them off and haven't regretted it at all. Usually I didn't even use them to get in/out but my pants would brush up against them and get dirty. They're very simple to remove/install so you can always try it out and reinstall if it isnt for you.

Thanks so much for putting this together! Quick question... I have an 07 4runner Limited. Joying keeps telling me that the only two that will fit on mine are the 7" and 8". Obviously that's not true if I don't mind the screen not fitting in the slot, which I don't. Did you have to do anything special to make the 10" work? Thanks
@Etch_A_Fletch_
@Etch_A_Fletch_ Жыл бұрын
The 10” display as it comes will not fully lock into place on the head unit. The display is detachable from the head unit with quick connects and then there’s a video cable that plugs in. I added longer machine screws with a ton of small washers to attach the quick connects to the back of the display to make the display stick out further. It needs to stick out about an inch further to not contact the dash. Easy peasy once you figure out what screws and how many washers you need.

with all the lights you’ve added or upgraded, I was wondering if it is a good idea to get a bigger battery? Sorry, I don’t know much about these type of things and am trying to learn more. great looking 4Runner tough.

Thank you! Most of the lights are relatively low powered and not all used at the same time. I did opt for a higher quality battery but will probably just keep 1 unless I start going on more camping trips where I need more juice.

Great video! Gave me some ideas for my T4R. Would this lift allow for 285 70 17s?
@Etch_A_Fletch_
@Etch_A_Fletch_ Жыл бұрын
I had to trim the front fenders, body mount, and hammer down the welded seam. I’m sure with more cutting you’ll be able to fit 285s. To be honest though, having tires that big with the same lift I have will make it look like it isn’t lifted at all. I’ve had people think my setup doesn’t have a lift with my tires and lift combo. It would be nice to go back to C loaded tires as 275s are only in E load.

I did upgrade the bulbs to LEDs for both low beams and high beams. I thought about changing to an aftermarket version but honestly the stock ones don’t bother me. If they weren’t projectors then I’d probably be more inclined to upgrade. Plus that’s a $$$$ upgrade. Mine are starting to look a bit yellow, might be time to sand and recoat with 2K clear. Checkout “rickyspanish_4runner” on Instagram. He’s a buddy of mine that also has a galactic grey 4Runner and he has a great set of lights.

Wires were ran under the trim on the floor, through the cargo side panels, up to the spoiler, then a small hole drilled to run the wires to the mounting location on the center of the spoiler. The head unit has a trigger wire that connects to the reverse light circuit so it knows when to kick on.
