[CharlieDoan]

[johnnyboii666]

@CharlieDoan i think a 89 and 4 i have the same truck just not lifted nd badass

[MrRjc916]

dude that is one badass 4runner

[dragonvue09]

that engine sounds good.,

[sawyerbobby]

Toyota trucks around those late 80's and mid 90's are the good Toyota truck years. now the new ones are just too "civilized" to be made to a rock crawler

[CharlieDoan]

What year is that?

[crystalroxduh]

haha thats my cousin driving(:

[Dry8Ice]

thats right! toyotas are dope!

[lifeisgood070]

holy crap

[rusted70chevy17]

Power steering pump is in pain with those big tires lol

[Dry8Ice]

@rusted70chevy17 get a couple steering stabalizers

[subasurf]

IS that the powersteering pump I can hear groaning?

[lalunette]

Very well executed traverse.

I love how the engine jsut growls along... happy and content !!!

[juvi81]

[mudpupp7]

[yodakungfuu]

hey can you let me know what kind of suspension you put on that truck . my 4runner is almost exactly the same, but its still all stock. and i want to restore it to be a rock crawler or mud slinger .

[fergiman]

i want your 4runner dude, mines starting to look like that tho

[fioz951]

stupid jeep .. get out of the way

[xETSxFridgeRaider56]

ok i know this is a stupid question, i guess i need to get in touch with my inner red neck but what is better IFS or a solid axle? and why? thx

[toyotaofdesmoines]

Well, rock on, we should say! Thanks for sharing the amazing experience!

[HedgehogAirsoft]

Jeeps have better performance, and have been proven in the military, the Toyotas will never die, most reliable vehicles out there. And I'm a Chevy guy. I've loved Jeeps waaay longer than Toyotas, it's your decision. It's all about having fun and helping eachother out. Oh, and the Taliban's use Toyotas and Nissans lol if that's military.

[redneck025]

that 4runner makes it look easy lol

[josemanuel599]

mhackel1, for you what is better to off road, the solid axle front or IFS?

[clim84]

I got the same white paint and shitty stripes LOL but I dont have the SAS or the 4.3

[nowel288]

jeep cherokee or toyota 4runer???? i own a cherokee but i like toyota,whitch one have better performance???

[313foxbody420]

where do you get solid axles for these? all most every video, a toyota that is supposed to have IFS has solid axles, indicating to me, that it is easy to do. so, is it easy to do and what axles would one swap from?

[mhackel1]

@313foxbody420

Most people use a front axle from a 85 or older toyota 4 runner or pickup. Try local salvage yards or online. This axle was salvaged from an older truck we used to wheel and then the frame bent in half so we took the drivetrain out and put it into this 4 runner.

[skateshortys8]

@mhackel1 what engine is in there?



[FTORC1]

@313foxbody420 You can also go with Land Cruiser axles, Dana 44's, Dana 60's and anything else you want to stuff under it. They make SAS (solid axle swap) kits to fit just about anything. The Toyota 8" solid front axle came standard on the 4x4 pickups from 1979 to 1985.

[benlyons83]

@313foxbody420 My SAS cost me 10k

[CharlieDoan]

@313foxbody420 84-85 look like these model got 4x4 with double solid axle

[thefatcat13]

OMG Thats Fucking Sexy!

[wunthang]

that toyota came through like it was nothing in its way.. NICE!

[andydmaan]

Good job man drove like champ, wow Impressive, good runner and good driving skill aswell, keep it up :-)

[04zr2]

lol how many mexicans can u fit in that

[axelbrinck1]

nice flex going on there

what height tires are those? I notice they are not too wide

is that better for rocks and mud?

what type of power steering do you use to keep it from straining?

[4x4Tinny]

Good effort, made it look easy.

[DEADFROMMAYHEM]

how much does it cost to lift a 4runner? (sorry for my english)....i have one 1984 4runner...its fully stock...

[forrestjpierce]

@DEADFROMMAYHEM Tighten your torsion bars add some spacer under your leaf spring and coils in the front. Its a 3" lift for $150. You can run up to 33" tires. Plus alignment. Ebay

[mycatwilatackyou]

I'm on my 4th Toy , I freaking love them .. thats all I will ever own ..

[ggiizzmmo]

what a monster, ya 4 runner

[Dietzie84]

Any idea on what springs this rig is running? I have a 84 4Runner 2Ldiesel that i want to get more flex out of to keep up with a mates Patrol in the rough stuff

[mhackel1]

They are custom made. I forget the length but they have heim joints in the eye of the leaf spring to allow them to twist in the shackle mount. Works well!

[gojo1091]

chevy 63's is what i run on my yota-great flex with ride- just have to move the front mount foward.@Dietzie84

[Profoster1]

@Dietzie84 the best springs for the front are the rancho 44044 and for the back 63 inch chevy spriings. BEST SPRINGS to get the most flex

[benlyons83]

the Japs build good cars.... bloody tuff these trucks

[guyred99]

4-Runners seem to handle trails amazingly. They're just well built vehicles.

[baldguy2b]

Good looking Yota, sounds good too.

[gerby1818]

ya they rock

[randyrhoads6]

I want my 4runner lifted :[

[kyle5670]

niceeeeee

every type of terrain is possible with the ol' runner

haha

[demensionflip]

4runners are for champs

[RCkid8]

what year? what year? i need to know! i love the 4runn's thay are the best!

[Necrolemus]

84 only 1 with solid front axle. 85 through 89 had independent front suspension. all first gen were best.

[jupskids]

85 had sfa too. 2nd gen and on good for DDs, 1st and 2nd beastly offroad

[Necrolemus]

thats right, my dream runner is an 85 with solid axle and fuel injected 22re engine. wat DD's?

[jupskids]

good luck thats hard as shit to find now. daily driver. when im older i want to restore either an early runner like the 90 i have now, or a fj40.

[bungholio13tp]

4runners 86 and up had ifs

[gerby1818]

no 85 had solid axle to they diddnt make the ifs till 86 same with the pickups

[Necrolemus]

late 80 early 90 pickups and 4runners pratically identical, 1995 wen they changed to tacoma and changed 4runner design out of the pickup chassy. if that makes sense?

[gerby1818]

yup it makes sense

[Necrolemus]

2nd gen or first runners for the win!!!

[petersmusic808]

I like 4runners!!! i've got the red one! how much he wants for the black one? lol

[oneal852]

nice.....

[kingzy5000]

oh man thats nice... it makes me regret selling 89 4runner :(

[daxmadden]

Camera Man is READY to BUY!!!!!!!!!!

[cd360spider]

nice dude. My 4runner looks almost exactly like that only mine is dark blue with black rims. What kind of engine does he have in it?

[mhackel1]

He has a 4.3 chevy motor.

[RIGAMORTIS22]

what is it a vortec?

[bmwracer01]

I just got a 85 runner Im building :)

[mhackel1]

Awesome! That is the year to have.

[jeepruler]

Toyotas are gay

[doublekickdrummer]

Pfft fuck off. Jeeps are gay.

[sai00anbu00root]

[jupskids]

jeeps shit, i let a lifetime jeep owner drive my 4runner on a few hillclimbs, first toyota he ever drove, a month later he bought a tacoma and sold his old jeep

[Necrolemus]

[DeathSycthe02]

[bcbrossman]

Sweet 4Runner. What trail was this?

[mhackel1]

I think it was trail 10 at Rausch Creek Off Road Park.

[whiteXXXchicks]
