Great stuff man. Serious information for serious enthusiasts!

[@SnowboundCustoms]

Thank you! Means a lot coming from you 🙌🏼

[@dylanworkley2068]

Sheshhhh and I thought my build was expensive at $14k in parts invested. Can’t wait to see the rear end build come together, should be super sick!

[@SnowboundCustoms]

I wouldn’t have been able to do this without all of my build partners! I’m very grateful for that. It should be sweet. I can’t wait either! 💪🏼

[@TimmyTheToolman]

SICMODS brotha! Can't wait to see the final form of your rig.

[@MrJoseph5120]

I’m knee deep in mind triple bypass all around bump stops front and rear leafs my shit puts in work

[@babyduckmilitia2186]

You could do super duty axles for that!

[@JeremyHoutgoogleplus]

What I always try and tell people just run the rig stock hard have fun save the money for trips and another beater when the first one breaks

[@SnowboundCustoms]

Absolutely! That’s the best thing to do, especially if you’re new to the hobby. I would only invest money into it once you’ve seen that it’s something you enjoy

[@christophergoodwin6846]

I agree with this 💯. A lot of people don’t realize how capable their vehicle is in stock form or with very minor mods. Don’t get me wrong I love everything modified but you don’t need this or that to get out there. Maintenance is way more important than mods IMO.

You don’t think it would’ve been cheaper to just throw a Dana up front & in the back? Or did you actually want to just build a long travel build for hauling ass

[@SnowboundCustoms]

This vehicle specifically will always be IFS. I do want to build a SAS taco one day! I don’t want to do it with a 4runner because it’s easier to damage the body. In terms of cost, I don’t think using a Dana 60 would’ve been cheaper. The fabbed 9 housing with axles is only $1700. After upgrading the Dana 60 to be useable, refurbishing it and removing all the old brackets, you’re at a similar cost already so I’d rather start with a brand new bare housing! The fabbed 9” housing I’m using has the Dana 60 unit hubs for a Toyota bolt pattern too

[@Mario562]

Right on dude, nice build 💯🤟

[@YWaitConsulting]

couldn't disagree with the labor rates more.. I had a shop build my entire vehicle lots of fab work on my 4runner but not one shop I know of is 100hr.. cheapest i used was 185hr. mine sits at build cost of 65K with 35K of this in labor. cool rig never the less.

[@SnowboundCustoms]

I’m basing the prices on the rates I was charged. I work closely with a local shop. He charges my customers $650 labor to fully install a set of bypass shock hoops. It’s not cheap quality work either. He performs higher quality work than many of the high end shops I’ve been to. If you’d like to see a sample of his work, go watch my bypass install video or the rear wheel well tub video

[@btain7649]

What is the wheel mounting surface width of the front end? Also, why long travel over sas? BTW, awesome rig! Thanks for all you do to continue to make this vehicle platform better.

[@SnowboundCustoms]

It’s 69” wheel mount surface width. Stock is 60”. And great question! This vehicle gets driven a LOT and I frequently have my family in it. I needed it to perform great on the highway and on long road trips. I absolutely want a SAS rig in the future, but that will only be on a dedicated crawler

[@OGRadGrow]

Nice 👍🏾

[@DavidDrown-ip5tr]

Well… that’s depressing 😂

[@SnowboundCustoms]

Remember, build to your budget! You can have more fun in a stock 4Runner than a lot of the guys building rigs that never use them. This video serves as a top end baseline of what could be done and many things can be swapped out for more budget friendly items while achieving similar results 🙌🏼 happy wheeling!

[@trinydex]

just goals for how to stay poor

[@OwenWellsp-wz5hg]

What about portal axles.

[@SnowboundCustoms]

Sure if you want to add another $25k on to the price 😅

[@Rubiconromp]

Goodness I thought i was the only one upside down in a toy 😅

[@ultra4suzukisamurai679]

And that’s how I have over 30k into a samurai.

[@Rocklandingoffroad]

Yea just go SAS it will be far more capable and about 10K cheaper on 1ton axles

[@TheSkinnyMechanic]

lol at shop rate of 100/hr
