Giving The Overlanding Toyota 4Runner Protection On The Trails – Part 2 – Carcass S3, E13

Watch Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOrymRg-hAI

Those front tow hooks attached only to those access plates? I don’t think that’s gonna work, truck looks great though!

Wow one of the few videos where someone working under the vehicle is wearing eye protection.

I wonder if they'd work on a first Gen Tundra next?

A Rigd Ultraswing or a Dirtcom hitch carrier would have done the same thing as your tire carrier without the ugly holes.

How do you know it’s an American build show
1: no guard on grinder
2: welding spatter all over the paint

One concern I have is that you mentioned welding the nuts to the backside of the bumper so you don't have to reach back there to take them off. Those look like grade 8 bolts and nuts. Welding them may affect their heat treat. I would suggest using the plasma cut table to make plates with hexagon holes that you weld to the back of the bumper instead. You can even stack them until they make a deeper hole than the bolt length to make sure they completely unscrew. This way you can hold the nuts without screwing up their heat treat.

Finally a Toyota project. Now only if power nation would build some vintage Toyota engines and newer ones

Interesting project. I have a 2011 4Runner that looks just like this. Great vehicle. Never breaks. 👍

09:23 should have kept the lower grill instead of cutting it off.

Finally a 4Runner build
😎💪🏼

I like that you kept most of the original bumpers. It’s a clean look.

Hi How muchyou make the rear bumper for toyota four runner 2021 for me?

This would be great for dispersed camping in the National Forests. The roads aren't good enough for the average street vehicle but a beefed up SUV would really be slick. I'll probably copy this. I'd probably add at least the rear as a locker but even better would be both front and rear locker. In all think strongly about a decent air compressor and a spare battery and a jump box. It really sux to not be able to start the vehicle because you ran the battery dead in the middle of no where. A power inverter is a great addition too or a small generator.

I sincerely hope that the next video dedicated to this 4Runner includes some engine and/or transmission upgrades. You've added all the weight of the heavy front and rear steel bumpers, a heavy steel rear tire rack, the steel rock sliders, and a heavy winch. You're going to add a bunch of rooftop camping stuff too, which will add weight. And you've increased the size of the wheels and tires, effectively gearing-up the truck. The 4.0L V6 only has 270 HP and 280 ft-lb torque and a 5-speed auto trans. Your stated goal was to have a mild off-roader that would be good to use as an on road vehicle most of the time. So without either boosting the HP or changing the gearing of the truck, you've effectively made it worse for driving on the road, which will be the case most of the time, because you won't be running in low range on the street.

Awesome video by powernation

Zzzzzzzz frrrp

Good luck 👍
