I dig The Chase light bar ON the rear

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Sweet setup Bro I got 5 3rd gen runners and 1 4th gen Runner 1 GX470 and Looking to grab another v8 4th gen for my wife

[@florindagonzalez5700]

This is the only time a used vehicle, in my opinion, is worth it's unreasonable price. You do the work for me, I'll pay.

[@PeterGamerMax321]

What a beauty!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Outbound Nevada is Pretty good My buddy Albert Makes the Molle Pannels also but he makes the. For 3rd gens 4th gens and 5th gens and tacos tundras and more and he takes custome requests also makes them for the door pannels and many other locations including for custom mounts for cb radios and more for the dashes

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

The Bilstein 6112 Are my favorite

[@robbayarea4849]

Sweet Rig! Just got me a 2000 SR5 4x4. I'm inspired by your build. Can't wait to do some off-roading. Cheers

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Nice rig. I have a 2000 with manual 5 speed. 228K and still going strong.

[@LuisGonzalez-zk2uy]

sick ass runner, one day I will have one.

[@jasonrotairo]

Super clean Runner. It’s nice to see new 3rd Gen walk around. It’s inspired me to get back to my build. Love the thorough walk around. You ever think about doing a drawer system? That’s next on my list.

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Thank you! And awesome! Glad to inspire! I did want to do a drawer system at first, but I got the molle panels and some stackable bins. For now it’s working out for me 🤷🏻‍♂️.

[@Ninerin0]

That is a sweet looking ride! I have a black ‘97 with 283k miles on it. Most everything is stock, but I’m thinking of putting new bumpers and rock sliders on her. Should probably upgrade suspension first tho lol

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Jba makes a heavy duty Upper control arms now there thicker

[@Fernandomarquez04]

you gotta wrap and sheath that wiring underneath or youre asking to invite electrical gremlins and to start popping fuses. otherwise very clean rig

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Oh yeah, it’s all been cleaned up now! Just had it re painted and went threw everything!!

[@dennisleegy]

Great video. A lot of specific details that i didn't see on other peoples video like opening the vacuum hole for the brakes.

[@WoodcockFamilyOverland]

Very nice 4Runner, I wish they had a better aftermarket in UK for my Surf! Some really good inspiration for mine 👍

[@richardchamblee965]

I love the tricked-out customizations!

[@ohsnapsitzjustin]

Could u make a video on the brake booster mod? Super interested in it! Thank you!

[@mikebuquett5315]

Wow thats a beautiful one. I have a 97 SR5. But im having issues with her right now 😢. When im driving it in the freeway it doesn’t stay still. It feels really dangerous.

[@pricelesst4r]

Sweet rig!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Do you got a link for the Rear chase bar and the Yellow ditch lights and the clear Ditch lights you mounted on the front

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Xprite 36" LED Strobe Chase Light... www.amazon.com/dp/B07YXPXJLV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Those specific lights are not available any more. But if you look up “cannon led pods” you will find super similar ones.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@redrunnerDesigns appreciate the information I will go check it out

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice 3rd gen Bro my 97 LTD 4x4 is Desert Dune been trying to find the tail light guards for ages I ordered a set a few years ago and 7 months of waiting and the company returned my money and said they were no longer making them

What's the part number for the front bilsteins

My buddy just ordered one for his dodge. I can do a video on his!

[@marioadili7334]

I love you rig man! I would love to know where u got your fender and rear door flares from. The black one’s! Thanks in advance. Been looking for them forever

[@redrunnerDesigns]

These are actually stock flares for 3rd gens. They came on some of the Sr5’s. Took me 3 trips to the junkyard to piece the complete set together.

[@Aiyescourse]

Nice

[@lasaventurasdemanda7713]

Very nice 4runner love you roof rack info for the roof rack were i can buy it thanks

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Thank you! Unfortunately no! It was a group buy of custom made racks from somebody in SoCal. I have since modified it from that.

[@aaronbrittain5176]

blue4runnersr5 here love the walk around. if I wanted to add the jerry can holders is that possible you think if I asked? man is your set up almost like mine obviously mine is blue with different up grades but so close 😂

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Yeah man call them up. You might have to drill into your swing arm if there’s not spots for it. Hit them up and see what they can do! I follow you on Insta 🤟🏻

[@aaronbrittain5176]

@@redrunnerDesigns same here dude🤙🏼. We talk about a little on rear springs. I’m running 891 OME but still have sagging issues even with the 2” coil boosters what’s your take on them

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Get the OME 861’s they are much stronger for the weight and still ride good!

[@aaronbrittain5176]

@@redrunnerDesigns I was told that the 891 were the heavy duty ones and are meant for added weight

[@redrunnerDesigns]

They are. And you added a few hundred pounds of weight with the bumper, spare tire, gas, Jack… there’s also 851’s which are not as heavy duty I believe.

[@hotbusa08]

Hey I love the Redrunner I'm working on sourcing all the part for my 98 4runner and was wondering what is the actual suspension setup, I want to get the perfect spring setup for the weight I'm putting on the roof with the tent and I'm building a drawer system so it's going to be pretty heavy. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Thank you! For the rear I’m using OME 2861 LandCruiser coils on Bilstien 5100’s. Soon to be switching to 5165’s.

[@hotbusa08]

Thanks I will be looking into them

[@2vot]

where did you buy the oil catch can

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Amazon. I just search for a oil catch can and found a universal red one. I used my one hose and fittings.

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Hahaha. I know, I’ve been slowly taking them off! But some I can’t replace so they’re staying for now.

[@ricksmith7659]

@@redrunnerDesigns I can relate. I'm a little surprised your not running coilovers. I just installed Elka coilovers on my 02 and love them even though they're 2" I can't feel a big difference between the Elka and the 2.5" Icons on my 99. The Elka's are $500 less and appear to be higher quality with great customer service.

[@redrunnerDesigns]

@@ricksmith7659 I think the next set of front shocks I will go with will be some type of coil over. Haven’t done to much research on them yet. I will look into those though!

[@RobustArid379]

no rust underneath means you are in california

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Yep! And whenever we come back from a trip, it gets pressure cleaned! Then spray painted every summer.

[@Circlec135]

Great runner!! Maybe try filming landscape?

[@redrunnerDesigns]

Yeah I realized that after I was about halfway thru! I usually use my GoPro for this stuff.

[@Reqzabx]

Have any videos on taking off the brake booster fitting and drilling a larger hole?

[@redrunnerDesigns]

I do not, but I can make one. I have a spare motor that should have one on it.

[@yoda1090]

Great looking truck and walkaround. Can you explain more on drilling the vacuum fitting, I never came across this in the forums and I'm having similar symptoms after the brake upgrade.

[@redrunnerDesigns]

I’ll try to make a video addressing all of the comments on here. But I’ll try my best to shortly explain it here. Where the brake booster vacuum hose attaches to the block, that fitting should unscrew. Than use a drill press and make the opening bigger to allow more volume of vacuum to the brake booster. That allows it to “regain” pressure quicker. Hope that helps.

[@yoda1090]

@@redrunnerDesigns thanks for the tip, I just tried it out and it helped give the pedal a better 'firmer' feeling

Thank you! For which horns? The regular horns are just HELLA horns from Amazon. And the “train horn” was a cheap Amazon one as well.

[@damacknificent151]

What headlights are those? Are they way better than stock?

[@redrunnerDesigns]

I go over it a little @11:14 They are absolutely better than the stock ones I had. All the parts are generic from Amazon.

Absolutely amazing! Gives me inspiration for my 97 4runner that I'm starting out on right now. Had it for a while but doing a 3 inch lift and tires right now to start.
