DARN GOOD BARGAIN, BUD

[@kennetheady1347]

It was parked in my neighbor's driveway and his wife wanted it out of her way. So I much obliged them 1k$ later. 😁$$$$

[@Gamecock94]

I just got my son a 2003 V8 Sport with 182k for $5500 USD. Sure it’s a little long in the tooth and needs a few things but I’m in love with it, it’s easy to work on, and will last him through college (and beyond) if taken care of. Already put about another $1k in it, but it’s a fun process and will bring my son and I closer to

[@hattrick257]

That’s awesome

[@liamkingsbury7438]

So cool dude

[@ImperatorCaesar22]

That’s a great deal

[@SIUDubFiend]

Hopefully rust free, that’s a good deal! Just brought my 07 v8 home with 140k miles for about $15k. Little more than I wanted to spend, but it’s in great condition and was close to home so I could personally inspect it before buying. I had people in 4-5 different states looking at 4Runners for me. Good to have friends…

[@nathanielthomson2860]

thaaaannnkkk you. this is wildly helpful. starting my 4th gen build in the fall

[@davidkirwan304]

I just got a 2005 V8 with 330kms... A lotta road on her but I am pumped to get into the 4Runner world. Thanks for your insightful videos.

[@davidwayne9982]

I agree-- I love the METHOD wheels too!!! I don't need over fancy crap to get screwed up later.. :)

[@gregmitchell6062]

I truly enjoyed the grow up comment. I’ve only been out on a real trail less than a dozen times and line choice seems natural to me. But in my opinion I’m still a noob. Once I get my son a 4th Gen Runner. It’s on!!!

[@skysoldierdogtraining]

I did TRQ Ignition Coils on my 05 V8 4runner. So far has seemingly given the ole girl a bit of a pep in her step.

[@skysoldierdogtraining]

Haha Two days later. Removed them. They seemingly limited the ole girl from getting past 2k RPMs.

[@joseg.almeida6866]

I think I've been spending the same amount on my Sequoia 07 but without wheels, fridge and the rack. I spent a lot doing the timing belt and water pump, lower bolt joint and undercoating. But overall happy with mine truck. Good videos 👌 thanks for share that

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thanks for watching!

[@dosvaskosfarms4643]

Great Video, like the fact you enjoy your build and plan to keep it forever. Living in Texas, I have an 05 Runner, no rust 160K but pretty much stock other than a new TRD grill like yours. When she turns 20 going to give her a face lift, Great content, thanks for sharing

[@CanadianGearhead]

Thanks for watching!

[@ice-cold4342]

You did good job with the build dude,she looks great.I daily drive 2012 tundra and I want want a newer one but I just can’t justify price they want for newer ones.

[@bobbygrey5859]

Great video and comment at the end regarding the rear locking diff. I've only used mine once off road other than that I just drive smart lol. I my do a video for my Gen 3 4Runner Limited. Thanks for some ideas. 👍🏾

[@shawnscott1491]

The Pioneer 2660Nex is what I go and its pretty great. For $350 and got it installed at bestbuy - $500 total. Good unit

[@michaelochoa1264]

Awesome video. Man I get excited when I see vids pop up about your T4R. Hey question. What kind of stock head unit did yours have before you upgraded.

[@CanadianGearhead]

It was just the standard JBL unit without nav. Thanks for watching!

[@nirsman23]

The Deez Nutz had my dying 😭😭

[@charleskohlmyer9628]

Thanks for the videos you've convinced me to trade in my 2021 Chevy Tahoe Z for a 4th Gen 4Runner!

[@hattrick257]

lol good idea

[@mercurials54]

I got my V8 sport edition shadow mica 4runner one owner 💯 stock for 12.5k, added 285s on TE rims just need a leveling kit to get rid of minimal rubbing at full lock under load.

[@taliesinangling3564]

Take your coilovers out and cycle the suspension to do the trimming, then you’ll know you dont have rub while actually using the vehicle

[@TheDayisMineTrebeck]

Sounds about right lol. Bought my 04 V6 Limited 4wd for $5k in 2016. Have spent at least another $5k in upgrades (dobinsons, Camburg UCAs, rims, 285s, sound system) since. Well worth it!

[@mitral5333]

I need to move to Canada. 127K mile V8 4th gen for $10.3K!?!?!? Damn!!’

[@hattrick257]

I got my 2004 v6 4Runner 160k for 7k in New York. I’ve had it for 2 years and it is awesome. 😎

[@rperfection1457]

Enjoy while we can. imagine working on electric cars making modifications. I already picture some of us growing old , boring and have nothing mechanical to do for fun.

[@scottg2946]

Your 4Runner definitely is a sexy beast!!

[@bss2692]

Awesome List (with pics!) one question - CHASE LIGHTS! You have the "rear spoiler" - does this get in the way of visibility from cars ? how far back behind you do you have to be to see them? they look like the Spoiler interferes - and that's what's keeping me from doing this. Thoughts ? love the channel!

[@CanadianGearhead]

I was concerned about that too but the lights are bright enough that it doesn't seem to be much of an issue. You could also mount them higher up if you want to but I chose to have them tucked in for better clearance

[@justincuarte5485]

Weird question, I have an 03 limited v8, how do I point my headlights down? I think I got the same set as you. Might be different for the pre-facelift though.

[@CanadianGearhead]

There are adjustment screws on them, not sure if it's the same for preface lifted ones either but maybe I'll make a quick YT short for ya

[@follow_fraser3081]

Apparently the Doug Thorley building burnt down in 2020. Since then yup- very hard to get. Burtman says usually its a 3 month wait from purchase date.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Interesting, that makes a lot of sense!

[@SlimNubster]

Pardon my intrusion, but what do you do for a living? That's a lot of sweet upgrade flex.

[@kennetheady1347]

😎 I enjoyed all of this. I'm a subscriber of yours. I have an 06 4Runner SR5 V6. 200k. I paid $1,000 for it. I'm definitely using some of your ideas. I'm keeping my 4Runner as well. 👍🏼😎🌴

[@CanadianGearhead]

That's a smoking deal!

[@kennetheady1347]

Yes it is. It needs paint really bad and a serious detail on the inside. I'm happy you came with almost 75% tires.

[@bierlichen1]

Another great video. Did Canada separate from North America? I live in Minnesota and I don't remember have to take a boat to cross over to the continent that Canada is a part of.

[@CanadianGearhead]

Not sure if serious lol

[@jweems440]

Would you care to go a little more in depth on those hatch lights? I really like those.

[@BryceTube]

I know this is just a parts list, but I wonder how much was the DT short tube install with welding stock cats

[@CanadianGearhead]

I had a friend do it so I'm not sure what the going rate would be at a shop

[@8151noname]

I have about 17,000 CAD in my 04 V8 and it's not near finished yet.

[@joshuacross4886]

I got a 03 2wd 4Runner sport for $2000 with the V8. Obviously it will never be fully capable off road vehicle. Any thoughts on upgrades?

[@marshallsaltzman9924]

Probably needs a new rear drive shaft. There was a TSB about the factory ones being bad.. they were warrantied til 2016 I think. Check the weatherstripping above the doors in the front, it might leak in heavy rain.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Just wait till you kid gets closer to college age. You'll be kicking yourself in the rear. I was driving junkers until my son graduated from college, then I splurged on myself with cars and boats.

[@CanadianGearhead]

No I won't. My business relies on the the 4runner being interesting. People would get bored with a stock one real quick.

[@kevintmerk]

What was the name of the tire on the Tacoma ?

[@CanadianGearhead]

Motomaster Eliminator X-Trail AT

[@Kaizen_101]

Are your tires all season?

[@CanadianGearhead]

Yeah they're rated for winter too

[@madhadder6754]

Pound for pound 4th gen rules. Also you have the v8 not happening with 5th gen.

[@allthings_boost]

I’ll save you some time 27,000 dollars

[@jeffsmithfpv]

Slowly convincing me to go with a 4th gen

[@CanadianGearhead]

Do ittttt

[@SlyBurrito360]
