4Runner vs Pickup vs Land Cruiser Hill Test (EP 19) // 3.Slow Gang

[@jgfrakes2736]

Dude with the Blue 4runner: if you used your emergency brake a little bit when you're starting to spin the rear tires, it makes the rear axle be more of a limited slip, because the axle cannot freely spin the tire with the least weight on it. It forces the rear end to rotate at the same speed and torque.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Awesome thanks!

[@bird289]

Nice

[@StubbornOffroad]

Lockers and lower tire pressures and use 4Lo

[@rooobzsd6769]

right, i have the same truck!

[@mechanicanizer3349]

Use 4low second gear. It gives you the same power as first, but with more speed. That way your momentum will pull you up that hill. I would know.. I drive a 1993 4Runner, and I can climb hills 4x the size of that..

[@ridebc153]

Doubt it.

[@iansimson1159]

You're absolutely right. I've owned many second Gen 4runners and 3rd gen pick-ups. 4low 2nd gear and there's now doubt. You're going to to make it. I thought they were in 2 wheel the first couple tries with the trouble they were having.

[@Confindencedrugee]

The solid axle made all the difference 👌🏻👍🏻

[@4015_]

and the triple lockers

[@isaacayala9176]

He doesnt have triple lockers lol

[@zarkeh3013]

I might say, 2nd being the coil springs.

[@xthexadvantagex]

4015 _ only a center locker no lockers on the axles. The flex on the solid axles definitely helped though

[@xthexadvantagex]

Dylan Saunders lots of land cruisers came with center locker only

[@benjaminausbrooks1296]

Nice Toyotas! Before you take the time to do a SAS, you guys need to do yourselves a favor and buy rear Aussie lockers. It will be the best $300 you ever spend on your rig. I had a 1994 pickup for about a decade that was all done up. The best thing I ever did was 4.88 third members from a 3rd gen 4runner and a rear Aussie locker. The Aussie locker totally transformed it off-road. I was doing stuff in 2 hi that I use to struggle to do in 4 low. Made the pickup a beast. That being said, I sold the pickup and bought a minty fzj80. Loved my built ifs pickup, but the 80 is just baller all around.

[@RobertCarrizal]

12:57 Land Cruiser Rules Great Crawling!!!

[@corinavirus2020]

The land cruiser is the top tier and will not be beaten. Not an opinion. Just straight facts

[@GRAV32DI31N]

brandon castillo not necessarily my leaf sprung pickup goes just as far, all in the driver. Landcruisers are heavy and have more panels to worry about

[@corinavirus2020]

No sir. The LC is top tier.

[@jaymoar3561]

It’s long and it’s heavier, you are wrong.

[@joshxt]

It is #1 in the world in the off-road competitive scene for a reason. No one comes close

[@jaymoar3561]

Joshxt 3rd gen 4Runner is the best cause I own one. 🙂

[@soulsurfer8797]

Bro. I second that. Lower the pressure by at least 20 PSI and go 4lo

[@NAMULTISS]

Man my old 85 solid axle 22re would of made light work of that bump.

[@MarvelousSeven]

*would have

[@josechavez7033]

I have the same truck but with the 22r mine is stock and would have crawled up that hill easy

[@Ghostrider-71]

[@dandorris8531]

Nice job guys. Looked like fun. I just recently converted my a/c from 12 to 134. 1989 first generation runner. I like my 3 slow, actually runs well with the manual trans. I rebuilt the motor last year.

[@Red_Beard_Builds]

landcrusier if its triple locked with a solid axle, thats gonna be hard to beat with no lockers an ifs lol :D great video i have a 2000 xj im gonna go against in my 93 3.4 swapped manual lol

[@craigcaryl116]

Great Video. Thanks for making it. Good to see the difference between the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser

[@CarlosfVilchez]

I have a 95 4runner with front and rear Detroit lockers and 5.29 gears ⚙️, all pro off road lift with front axle swap. Hasn’t been driven since March of Last year and my goal is to get her back and on the road to be able to go out and offroad with her. Last mechanic messed up and didn’t put enough oil in the read differential after putting new gears in. 12/17/2019 12:12AM

[@TheRandomDead]

4:59 how much was the exhaust?

[@codydavis7825]

I've got a 1990 pickup with the 3.0 and 33s 4.56 gearing, rear locker, cut the back bumper off 6" for better departure angle. And honestly if these rigs had rear lockers itd make a huge difference. Sick pickup though with the 3.4. When my 3.0 gives up(its got 330k, but with plenty of life left) that's what I want to do.

[@johnvela8100]

Love all truck but toyota land cruiser .takes the cake keep the videos coming .

The J80 is such an unassuming beast of a 4x4.

[@CoastalGX]

Land cruiser is the shit! Too bad about Jonathan’s rig, but you guys are handy with the wrench. All good.

[@arhashim78]

Diff lockers are the No1 mod every off-road truck must have... everything else comes next.

[@akewt]

finally somebody mentions the need for diff lockers. 👍

[@GRAV32DI31N]

In Australia the pickup known as the “hilux” didn’t go to independent suspension until 1997

[@grizz_mate2907]

are you sure mate? i have a 1991 4 runner and it had ifs, or has mine been shipped over??

[@GRAV32DI31N]

Deklan Nelson yeah mate in the hilux (pickup) it didn’t but my mate has a 1990 4Runner and his is ifs

[@turnerappleton5026]

When you don’t have lockers in the south we do the “snatch second and let it eat”

[@jerryyang3516]

Do you guys even lower your tire pressure

[@heartsky]

For that type of terrain a rear locker will absolutely put you in a different league, no other upgrade even compares, not tires, not links, not engine. Put a lunchbox in and you'll tank right up that hill.

[@Agent.K.]

If I was there I would air down then try 4lo 1st to 2nd to gain momentum.

[@johnruef6942]

Cool video. 4low. 1st to revy 2nd revy. Woulda made it over every time. Lol and throw lockers and straight axle. Makes a big difference

[@joavila]

Great vid guys. If that is the mud pit in McAllen, I climbed that hill in an '83 FJ60 Land Cruiser on the first try. It is actually steep and somewhat tecnical because it has a slight turn and is conducive to tire spin. Good challenge

[@dallasphillips6872]

Yessss I have a 92 3.0 I just got a new engine installed she’s a exp extra cab;)

[@tahirusman5929]

When you see the LC climbing up that hill so effortlessly you will understand why it's Toyota's most expensive SUV. I've had obnoxious 4runner owners tell me that their 4runner is just as good as an LC 🤣

[@NKPGarage]

Of course the 80 series got it!! Great video!

[@vadimnesen8060]

I feel like a "lift" is negative physics up a hill. I've seen lower AwDs do better

Traction control made work out of it. All these guys need are lockers

[@luvlivingcruisers2454]

Great video 👍 Landcruiser is the Best ! I owned FJ40, FZJ80, FJ CRUISER, & 96 4Runner. 4Runner is the best of my Daily rides.

[@felixfelix3421]

I have never done this but couldn't they have just gone slower and more controlled and easily climed that?

[@jjadventures7656]

Probably

[@eviljesus5411]

this is sand not rock they needed more speed actually. A subaru would do better there lol, traction control would act as dual locker and they're much lower center of gravity.

[@russman109]

Rad! The Cruiser crushed. I do think that the IFS rigs would have zero issues if they have a rear locker. Lockers make all the difference..

[@isaacayala9176]

I have same 2nd Gen as Jonathan, getting an order together from 4crawler, anything else I need for your lift besides the BJ Spacers and coil spacers? Panhard bracket or did you modify yours? Shocks and alignment ?

[@soulsurfer8797]

Looks like you were about the hit the highway with that much pressure. “First Yota I am referring to”

[@isaacayala9176]

All trucks were on street pressure just to see how it would turn out.

[@valentinmonarres151]

On the pick up, can you put a link to the kit you used for the front and back suspension. Did you do long travel on both?

[@jesse7055]

Thanks for the video, so you guys don't lower the psi in your tyres???

[@russman109]

My main question is, what the hell happened to that 4Runner's steering to allow the wheels to point in different directions like that?! That doesn't look like a broken engine mount. It looks like a failed idler arm, or bent center link, or broken pitman arm etc...

[@jjadventures7656]

My guess is the camera captured a different and that didn’t really happen As if you slow it down to 1/4 speed on KZbin it’s literally one frame only and doesn’t make sense

[@ryannance9673]

"it's just camera angle" wtf? Your high, homeboy cranked his torsion bars all the way up to get a couple inches of lift. That throws who front end out of wake

[@carolyngrove9970]

did any of you try airing down or 4lo snd gear???

[@CatchandcookMatt]

The ac is sucking when you stop cause the little electric fan on the front side of the rad took a crap. Same happened to my 2nd gen.

[@adamlongoria4795]

Do you have a 3.0 block? Where you guys from?

[@toddhoffmaster6057]

A locker in the rear axle, lower tire pressure and low range would have had any vehicle up that obstacle the first time like the LC. Do the 4 runners still have the rear sway bars connected? Another 4” of articulation if you take them off.

[@ward1440]

I noticed what appeared to be a connected swaybar on one of the 4runners. That definitely didn't help any.

[@brydonspencer2947]

Question can the sunroof on the 2nd gen pop up?? Mines one only can slide open but I have not found the button to just pop up the sunroof

[@eltorito1011]

I'm really looking in to upgrading my 1990 Toyota Pickup. Has anyone of you all tried running 35"s? Would you go for the SAS or are you happy with the Total Chaos iFS long arm kit and King Shocks?

[@isaacayala9176]

SAS vs LT is user preference and depends what you are trying to do with your pickup. Personally I love my LT but in crawling applications you can see where Solid axle comes in handy

[@jlucguerrier]

Over 100k views with no thirst traps besides the Land Cruiser. Well done, gents!

[@shotajukharize2404]

Solid axles are favorites on any type road

[@menwithapthy]

Do y’all’s ever have banging around noises underneath? Have a ‘91 4runner, sounds like metal on metal when I’m driving around. Normal or do I need to check it out?

[@henrylima6974]

Ujoint maybe

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

Why no test drive in the pickup

[@stevew9247]

how did that roof rack help you get over the obstacle? Rear locker, rear locker, rear locker. and lower the air pressure so it doesn't ride like a tank.
