The Toyota 4Runner is a fairly common daily driver that boasts some underlying off-road capabilities. But as the off-roading trend of Overlanding continues to get more and more popular, we decided our stock 4Runner would be the right candidate for the guys of Carcass to get to work on. The biggest challenge behind the 4Runner Overlander was to turn it from a factory stock SUV to a heavy-duty, jack-of-all-trades, on-road & off-road beast that is just as good performing through the dirt as it is driving down the highway.

Overall, this is a great build. What's the reason behind not installing 6-piston calipers on the front brakes? The increase in weight is considerable. Also, throttle control devices that take voltage from the accelerator pedal circuit tend to cause problems over time because the voltages in that circuit are so low that if the device draws a little too much power, the vehicle won't respond properly, if at all. There are a number of videos on YT documenting this unfortunate phenomenon. Banks makes a device that draws voltage from the OBD-II port instead which won't compromise the performance of the accelerator circuit. Thanks for posting this video.
Excellent! Made in the USA #1..Please keep jobs from here going,. World are waiting from goods and Ideas from the land of the US of A. Thank you! ( Keep the CopyCat China away from us!)
what kind of roof rack mounting bracket di you used?
Sweet video! What seat covers are you running on this 4Runner?
Not underpowered? These things are severely underpowered, it needs a V8. Should have built a Lexus GX 460. They are about the same price as well.
If you guys wanna take my 96 ram1500 and upgrade some stuff for the show you can😂😂😂
I see so many of these "overland" trucks / SUVs that never touch dirt, mostly sitting in mall parking lots or on a commute to work…
Can I get the parts you swapped out please?
That front lift does not increase travel. It pushes your control arms down so the vehicle rises up. Doing this sctual reduces droop, but you still have the same range so it will increase the up. You have the same travel range, uou have just moved it off center. Even if your Icons are "extended travel" it isn't s true long travel set up.
I was visiting friends in the Yucatan area of Mexico last week. Clicking channels on the tv I found this exact show being played, except it was dubbed into Spanish. Very funny watching you guys talk in Spanish. lol.
Here's a crazy idea for the Carcass guys- build an OBS Ford with a 10 bolt axle replacing the Dana 44 TTB. Maybe even put an LS in it.
Man there's so much that could have been way better.. that tire carrier is going to end up hitting the glass and them sliders are perfect to hang up on and not slide ..
the way you torqued them wheels tells me you dont know anything about torque patterns and you aint no mechanic you work off a script written for you
in the state?of n.c. where i live any driving lights that were not factory installed are illegal for on highway use.what your doing makes your high beam lights illegal for on road use and will keep the vehicle from?passing inspection.
Dumb question, but where would an average schmuck like me find the torque specs for the calipers?
Very nice truck. Only thing I don’t like is no roof weatherstripping.
Nice job love the show.
Need to have more insulation/silicon while installing roof rack.. as its well said- water knows where to flow, and in this case it has plenty of room from the roof..
Did the little bump you got from the intake and exhaust offset the weight added to the truck? How does it feel now vs before the modifications? How about gas mileage?
Thanks so much for the great content as always!
“Lets replace the rotors and pads but keep the shitty stock calipers”
Need your opinion on somethin;
What would you say is more fun, over landing or off Roading? and what would separate them both? other than what?
I thought the Flowmaster Flow FX muffler was a bit droney, so I went with their 50 Series Delta Flow. That has a nice deep tone when you're cruising but doesn't get to ricer-ey when you give it some gas. I'll be having the shop that installed it for me replace all the piping down stream of the muffler with either 3" or 3.5" tubing this spring to deepen the sound even more.
Genial
What's the crew following you around with now since you took their truck?
5.29 gears and your in business
Love From Pakistan ❤️
I could never get in their and not to lower control arms.
Power Stop brakes are a great value upgrade. I do a bit of towing and I do not experience brake fade much. Major con is they made the brake pedal feel soft compared to OEM.
Awning,dual battery system,fridge and so much more potential on this Toyota! Blank canvas
Any tire size that isn't stock will rub. Especially under articulation
Using drilled and slotted rotors is a huge L when offroading. Mud will wear those out.
No panhard bar relocation. Big L for handling
Black Rhino wheels are hard to install tires on. Just by hand. But their valve stems are not as recessed as they should be
Wild choice for a roof rack when so many no-drill options exist
The 1gr fe sounds awful, no exhaust helps it do anything but drone.
I like the rear tire carrier. That's it
