Off Road Testing my 240,000 mile 2006 Toyota 4Runner V8 - POV Impressions (Dobinsons 2” IMS Lift)

[@LaoKast21]

That 4Runner is clean! And Toyota trucks have some of the best names. 4Runner, LandCruiser, Tundra and Tacoma are great names!

[@akilanelango8997]

One truck you Americans are missing out on is the Fortuner. Badass name, based on the Hilux and absolutely indestructible.

[@thunderbear0]

Indeed

[@steviepusmc88]

@Cars top speed And drift & its by far the best name!

[@runnerxa]

Land Crusher is the best name out of these. You mention it and most people know what it means.

[@fernandez06]

@@steviepusmc88 No, 4Runner will ALWAYS remain as top one

[@neonreign2988]

I love Toyota

[@AdrianKurian]

True!! Camera never shows how steep an ascent or descent is.

[@rampagedingo]

I love to see that the 4runner is doing well and has the 2 inch lift. Thanks for responding my request for showcasing the vehicle with the 2 inch lift.

[@AdrianKurian]

I asked him as well! Hope you’re having a great day!

[@rampagedingo]

@@AdrianKurian likewise man. Enjoy your Sunday.

[@ikeglinsmann9759]

My wife and I spent a year traveling the western hemisphere in a '97 4Runner and I'm so sentimental for the 3rd gen specifically. This makes me willing to give 4th gen a shot as the older ones become harder to find. Thanks!

[@Mustafa-db8gi]

I love the view you get from the drivers seat with that big hood! Great video! Keep it up.

[@aldemar9416]

Toyota 4 life. Love my 4Runner so much

[@jgonsalves22]

Having the off-road video was good enough. But having two vehicles in one video?! That’s legendary!

[@TheTopher]

Had to take out the Talon for some actual speed haha

[@alejandro11000]

4runner is so damn quiet! Love your truck, especially with that 4.7!

[@thunderbear0]

Wait what they using same engine of 70 series land cruisers?

[@alejandro11000]

@@thunderbear0 no, it's the 2UZ-FE in the 100 series

[@tangledline]

5:35 Should be a "No Exit" sign to left..lol. Very very well maintained course. I love it.

[@RyanBurnsRed]

Best 4Runner promotion I've ever seen

[@alexflosho]

That looks like the best off-road house anyone could ask for. I know you don't live in it, but I would. You a real classy dude, you tapped off your feet before you got in the car. I didn't know you were into MTBing

[@TheTopher]

It’s a fun course, really glad to have it within an hour’s drive. Most of the miles I put on the 4runner are going mountain biking lol

[@alexflosho]

@@TheTopher haha if I had a car it would probably be the same

[@academiaengineering5136]

Yeehaw 🤠 what an heck of a day of off roading adventure!!!

[@academiaengineering5136]

Hi topher, I finally got a ❤️ from you!!!

[@adrianstephan4011]

This was so exciting, thanks for the video man, great one this time XD

[@chriscleveland9203]

Looks like a fun time!

[@joecama554]

Awesome video! Love the 4runner

[@furkanakkas5100]

Dude i love your videos mann. Realy great quality. Keep it up buddy. Greating from Turkey btw :)

[@nooddles12]

I love what you do for me, Toyota!!!

[@WorkingTitleVP]

Just picked up an 05 v6 and can't wait to put a little lift on her. This track looks like a blast!

[@ImYoutubing247]

Yes! Been waiting for this. Crazy how this 4Runner is worth more then your Lexus in today’s market lol

[@TheTopher]

It’s a lot closer than I would have thought!

[@lawan8025]

Scotty likes this

[@ThePedalDance]

Looks like it worked out great! Well done:)

[@swasho2939]

ha this is cool ive always wondered what an offroad POV would look like... like a real life video game

[@kozo61]

4 Runner goat

[@kpokfposkf]

The side-by-side seems like lots of fun! Do you think it's worth it? By not spending thousands of dollars modifying a rig and saving up the money on off-road related repairs. Seems like a wise choice to me. 12.7-13" stock ground clearance seems good enough, don't you think?

[@TheTopher]

Absolutely. Imo it’s the most fun to dollar ratio there is! The 4 seater talon had a little more trouble with break over angle because of its longer wheelbase but we haven’t run into any issues with clearance on the two seater. The extra width and stability with the 1000R is worth it. The 6-speed DCT is a lot of fun too. Half rally car half rock crawler!

[@iheartgs400]

I need to try this out on my 03 GX470 I honestly am not going crazy offroading but just enough to have fun

[@el1teman]

Where is the audio system review?

[@jonathanmartin1557]

Great video

[@A_guan]

Part of me wants an suv or truck so I can do this but the other part of me wants a fast and nimble car haha. Off roading does seem a bit intimidating though too

[@AdrianKurian]

Well there’s a car that can do both really well unlike other vehicles. Range Rover Sport Autobiography or SVR. They’re not the most reliable but they’ve come far from being the least reliable. The 5.0 V8 and 8 speed won’t give you any problems I believe but electrical gremlins can happen, not all the time but very rarely or maybe frequently depending on the model year you get

[@onlinealias622]

My dream car setup is a ram rebel and a genesis g70. Big, powerful, offroad truck and a small speedy sedan for zipping around. Ill probably get one of the two after my student loans are paid off.

[@Roscoesadie]

Best bang for your buck

[@misterpimlott6330]

Oh yeah!!!

[@thunderbear0]

Man doing this in manual would be extra fun!

[@TheTopher]

A manual swap on this would be sweet!

[@davidjamgochian]

4x4 is a great time

[@supramk515]

Pov drive the heritage edition landcruiser 200, do some offroad on it too

[@Stryckerrr]

Where is this at?? Beautiful 4runner!

[@AdrianKurian]

Do you have plans on getting locker/lockers for your 4Runner?

[@TheTopher]

Nah, a-trac got through everything really well. Kinda wish it had crawl control, but it’s not necessary for what I’m doing with it

[@AdrianKurian]

TheTopher 👍🏻

[@janiahdupree7913]

Hello!!! Are you going to do the 2021 Hyundai Sonata limited car video too!! I wanted to know your reviews on it before I get it. Also, is the 2021 Honda Accord better than the Hyundai Sonata limited??

[@locklear308]

Are those twin tube shocks? I've got kings on my 3rd gen to me...they are just kind of meh. lol

[@columbo6292]

Man, I'm late to the video. But what front bumper is that? Looks great.

[@TheTopher]

ARB

[@Higgin80]

Any rubbing/modification needed with those 255/75s? I just got an 05 V8 limited and am going with a 2.5in bilsteen/ome lift and looking at running these tires

[@TheTopher]

No rubbing after removing the mud flaps and side steps, can’t speak for the stock front bumper though.

[@overlandersnorthwest]

I just bought thr 2.5 inch. Cant wait to have it installed. Did you change your UCAs or diff drop

[@TheTopher]

Sweet! You’ll love it. For my 2” Once it settled Alignment came out great so no need for ucas. And I think you only need a diff drop with 3” or higher lifts

[@samuelrowland76]

It needs some new more aggressive tires.

[@Andrew-xh7oj]

yeah

[@TheTopher]

Eh, it would look cooler, but very impressed with the traction from these Destination X/TS, better in the snow than KO2s and did great in the mud. Anything more aggressive would sacrifice noise and snow performance, which for me in MI is important

[@Icutmetal]

@@TheTopher How’s the durability been with the XT’s?

[@AppyLikki]

My buddy had a v8 with Trd supercharger it was stupid quick for an suv 0-60 was easily under 6 seconds

[@Nicholas-ut1dw]

I have same model and year. How many miles on it so far? I have 136k and its drives amazing. So fun and looks great!

[@TheTopher]

Right now at 246k!

[@AdrianKurian]

Did you not air down in the first few seconds of the video?

[@TheTopher]

I didn’t approach it with enough speed. But it kind of helps show how steep it was!

[@AdrianKurian]

TheTopher ooh my bad it sounded like you were running road tyre pressure.

[@Trailmark]

How are the IMS on road? Mushy like stock? Nose dive when braking?

[@TheTopher]

Noticeably stiffer but still comfortable over big bumps. A lot more stable at speed and a lot less nose dive and body roll,

[@Trailmark]

@@TheTopher Gotcha. Thank You.

[@gianni9046]

do you change your transmission fluid often?

[@TheTopher]

Yeah I did 3 drain and fills every oil change with this 4runner to get it clean, not sure when it was changed with the previous owners. Now I’ll probably do a drain and fill every 20-30k to keep it fresh

[@imranabbasi7871]

👍

[@brig-h8e]

What type and size tires are you running?

[@TheTopher]

In the description!

[@MrAbe956]

What bumper is on your 4runner ?

[@TheTopher]

ARB

[@robertpyles9289]

Hey to the poster. Did you know that Firestone tires is the only tire manufacturer to have safety recalls on their tires that caused deaths when they failed? And the last recall for safety was the Firestone wilderness at and atx tires?
