  1. A word of advice to the producers. Any one with an IQ above room temperature can replace the front disks and pads on a 4Runner, The expertise is in the rear where releasing the star wheel adjuster a to be able to get the rotor off and then re-installing it and then adjusting it CORRECTLY (so the parking brake actually works again) would make for more interesting viewing and your viewers might appreciate solid tech help like that. Basic R&R does not make great viewing

  2. You guys next project needs to be a mid-late 70's (73-77) Muscle car. These cars are getting popular, atleast here in the Southwest and West, as a muscle car build because all the "desireable" cars have either already been built or are so expensive that the average guy can't afford them. You can pick up a mid-late for under $3,000 running and driving. You guys should show your viewers how cool these cars can be with little money invested. Earlier this year I picked up a 73 Buick Regal for $1200 and after putting new tires on it it passed inspection and is now my daily driver. Since I've had it I've rebuilt and repainted the engine and transmission, cleaned up and painted the engine bay and trunk and cleaned up and painted the frame and replaced all suspension bearing and bushings and still haven't spent 5k on it.

  3. Nice build so far! That “little” rubbing that you guys aren’t going to do anything about…for now, is going to be BIG rubbing once you’re aired down and on the trails. I promise. Looking forward for the next part of your series!

  4. Question, since you are making custom bumpers. Wouldn’t it have given more room (and allowed better views) to access the suspension by removing the bumpers prior to Icon install?

  5. Okay guys…time to do an Xterra overlander or just a good mod for Xterra owners….and remember there's always the AMC Eagle Wagon rock crawler build! DO IT!!! I wont stop until you DO IT!

  6. If you think about it, it's pretty cool that you can get some altitude to make it more capable without destroying the ride now a days. The days of having a purpose built rig is just about done for. The price of owning multiple vehicles for different purposes is stupidly high. Most people cannot afford that anymore. The quality has really come a long way. Now if I could just find a simple leveling/lift kit for my Trailblazer I'd be a happy camper. An inch or 2 would be perfect. I've bottomed it out a couple of times and never even taken it "Off roading". Just snow. What we call "Budda Trucks" are everywhere around here. 6+"s of lift with $1000+ wheels and tires for the looks alone. Impractical as Dailies that never see a dirt road, much less a trail.

  7. Do not have to torque down any brake parts fastners,a couple ugga duggas with an impact is good enough.The front brake set up in the front is a pain in the ass,GM used it as well.One is the pins freeze up.The TPMS,bypass it since the sensors are government spy devices as well and are not accurate

  8. Really enjoyed the episode. Like the different style camera work by the guys, in the beginning, describing parts and tire rub. Keep up the awesome content! Loyal fan

  9. So you're going to tastefully lift the truck, add bigger tires and wheels, and you're not going to do anything to improve engine power or performance? These 4Runners have a rather outdated 5-speed auto and you're not going to do anything with gearing to compensate for the bigger wheels and tires when you're not running in the low-range off-road? So you're going to make the truck worse for the 80-90% of the time you'll be driving it on the road. Did I get that right? Also, you'll be taking the truck off-road, presumably over worse terrain than you would if the vehicle was stock. Why not upgrade the stock, plastic skid plate to something aluminum or steel? Seems like a lot of missed opportunities here.
