One of the best looking runners I've seen. Really good job!

The top tents make me wish Toyota could do a "camp" version of the 4 runner that comes with a built in tent/ceiling like camping vans do.

[@user-fi1xu1pp7p]

It is such a nice 4runner, but goodness gracious, 20k is unreal !!! My 4runner only has about $2500 in upgrades. Level kit and wheel/tires. As for the body, I actually did my own viper cut mod which came out good. The next thing I want to do is put a metal rear bumper and that's about it for now. That will get me closer to 3k in mods... Lol I don't know how you got to 20k but still, your build is awesome 👏🏽

[@michaelweber6329]

Beautiful truck, beautiful woman, beautiful dog.

[@BigRoss246]

Sweet. Consider Dyna-matting all 5 doors. That was my first mod (along with changing out the sound system). I actually did 2 layers of it. Cuts down bigly on road noise and improved the audio quality. Nice truck lady.

[@dhh488]

What did you get for a sound system? My 2022 Tacoma Off Road has a really bad sounding factory stereo and I would like to upgrade it.

[@BigRoss246]

@@dhh488 Hi! I stayed with the stock head unit (which I’m switching out soon) and did a JBL Amp and JBL Cleansweep (which you won’t need if you go with an aftermarket head unit), a 12” JBL sub and this old school dude made me a custom sub enclosure, and I went with Hertz Component speakers (x6). I’m soon going to get an Alpine iLX-W650 head unit as during Covid you couldn’t find any head units worth a good fart. That sound proofing is the key tho. Let me know what you come up with! Good luck!

[@dhh488]

@@BigRoss246 Hey Big Ross, thanks for the response. I see the head unit you're looking at is $400, so not too bad. I'll have to give this more thought, but thanks again.

[@stevenandre6008]

Just did this to mine. Dynamatted the floor and headliner as well. Also put a layer of sound skins on all doors.

[@bigeasy5881]

best runner i've ever seen!!!!!!!

[@lunamaria1048]

My most expensive mod for my 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road is the Magnuson supercharger. That was $7k and I got a lot more out of my build, spending close to as much, including the ss. $20k in mods, just on the things she mentioned is just money not well spent. You don't need those expensive Fox Shocks, not for overlanding. I have a Magnuson Supercharger (my favorite mod), King Shocks, Victory 4x4 Blitz slim front Winch Bumper and Warn winch, 35" KM3s given to me by my brother's shop (I swap based on needs), No RTT so have my entire roof back as storage. Lots of storage!😁 I did a rear seat delete in 2021, so have tons of interior space. To sleep, I use an Australian double sized swag tent on a cot that elevates it off the ground. I also purchased DeepSleep's 4Runner solo self inflating air mattress with memory foam, that perfectly contours the side of the back of my 4Runner, leaving tons of space, with seats folded down, but i did a rear seat delete, so have tons more space. It is a great emergency option for when weather is bad, or Grizzlies are poking around. When not in use and deflated, it goes in an easy to store bag. I have an effective dual battery, inverter setup, plus I bought a lithium ion battery generator (a good one), that can be charged while I drive, or via solar panels that came with it. It improved my night time/meal time experience 150%! It runs everything I use at night, all night (laptop, fans, charging phone, USB lights, heated blanket etc etc),. Freeing my main power up, so I never have to do the wake up power level check, anymore. I love it! Oh and I have an auxiliary long range fuel tank too, doubling my range. If I didn't have the ss, I still have a far more superior build, for less.. With double your fuel range, lots of storage now, having my roof back as storage, so my build can sustain me for A LOT longer, and I have all the power i need etc. I know this post was long, but I just wanted to point out to potential overlanding newcomers that her build is a huge waste of $20k. Also, you can find excellent condition gear second hand, including offroad bumpers, or anything else you need. There is soo much of it that great deals come easy!

[@shogunshogun]

Thanks for sharing, your build seems more efficient money wise and effective for a longer overland trip!

[@Miggy738]

What an awesome build and I’m slowly getting mine with the ladder rack for the back.

[@allthingsunrelated2919]

Great video and well edited. I like your first discussion on having a dog and how it impacted your exploration adventures. I too want a camping buddy (dog) but not sure I want to give up that flexibility to go anywhere at anytime. Thanks!

[@_madpanda]

Bottomline, she loves 4runner because she love her dog. 🙌🏻

[@worknclass8079]

Nice! I’ve got the 4Runner addiction bad. What a wonderful life it would be traveling and camping! We off grid camp a lot but my entire set up is in a large Alice pack. You have a great companion! Enjoy!

[@vins1521]

Wow, you are ready for anything in that setup, love your 4runner, looks amazing.

[@coreyseals4269]

Just want to say nice looking 4Runner and you're doing what you love too!

[@TheEssentialist865]

I’m in love!! And that’s a really nice 4 Runner also

[@jyanezny]

Awesome truck. Even nicer outdoor lifestyle. You go girl!!!

[@eric9432]

Beautiful Tunner you have there. I am in over $20k in upgrades on mine too. It all happened so fast lol.

[@noahpickerill3749]

How much is your 4RUNNER+the 20K in upgrades 60-70K?

[@AbuInsights]

the front mods are dooope!

[@anthonyrenaud5783]

Tough and beautiful. Bad Ass Rig!!!

[@tjman4943]

Beautiful build. I love that C4 swing out, that may be my favorite part.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

I reheated mine to 4.88’s and it’s perfect, drives like stock or maybe even a little better and I can do 90 all day long uphill if needed. You’ll love the upgrade

[@kingblackheart919]

Reheated? Like in the microwave on high?

I stopped at window and dog….🎉. I did the same thing with my first gen, (I’ve owned 4). My current pup hasn’t really warmed up to the idea, but my original golden loved it…plus the side window. 🐕👍🤪🇨🇦 Any vid with…”and my dog”.

[@michaelpalm2210]

mine is stock roof rack and running boards. Ive got some work to do!

[@carbonking53]

If you are going to go all in with lots of mods and add ons a 4Runner then Magnuson Supercharger is a must. Or else you a very heavy lifted slug that can barely get out of its own way.

great entertainment video, I have a 03 v8 4runner completely stock now with 29K miles on it and about 8K miles off road. My tires are the original Dunlop Grandtrack. still on. Newer got stuck or in trouble off road Good sells women hats to you. To people that wAtch you they need nothing you advertise ability and experience is all, rest is money wasted.

Nice rig

[@sebastianromero420]

You are very good with money 😂

[@Brian-mb6sp]

Looks awesome for a overland vehicle. As a Hardcore off-road to hear that price tag. I’ve done dual T case, 1 tons swap, coil overs, 1.25 Heims link, locker gearing, power assist or hydraulic steering. Still sexy AF though

[@Brian-mb6sp]

@@KtP370 dual tcase will multiply gearing ( customizable for rock crawling for tall boulders rocky trails with high speed and low torque) 1 ton axles for large truck will have larger axles for higher horse power or strength for binding a wheel. ( better to break and outter axle then inner, you keep 400 dollar in parts , instead of 1300 with 40 mins of work on a trail) 1.25 chromoly heims instead of bushing for travel strength. Lockers lock all wheel so they put in work. Better power steering to move big tires when your truck is sideways and you still have to turn. Look at king of the hammer rock crawler videos. Thanks for asking!

My rig is also made around my furrkids :)

Is the horizontal bar across the front grill that says TOYOTA stock? I think I've seen it on some brand new models, I love that. Or is that an upgrade?

[@greensandbeansgaming1358]

20k into it, is that the way to go you think instead of going Pro? Is the warranty effected?

[@jbstuff]

Man I'm working on a Ford Ranger currently and I WISH that there was an option to replace the tailgate with a swingout tailgate.

Awesome job on your 4runner! I've got a 2015 SR5 and so far have got over 7k in upgrades and still going. This is my second one, I love them!

[@CzWill]

What are your MPG with all that weight?

[@3chim7noi4lenden]

How are your $20K upgrades impacting the weight and handling of the vehicle? I had $25K upgrades to my FJ Cruiser (including super charger) and I felt it was too heavy and under power.

[@kostanos]

Good question, +1

[@leadpilled5567]

Regear would help with that
