Your detail was top notch! Great job! Will do something similar for my build, great notes on the tire rack. Nice plasma cutter btw, haha, ez mode. : )
Those front tow hooks attached only to those access plates? I don’t think that’s gonna work, truck looks great though!
I’m thinking that those D-rings on the front bumper aren’t going to hold a lot of weight/force during a winching or extraction.
Wow one of the few videos where someone working under the vehicle is wearing eye protection.
Love you show could the tube clamps be called something else could not find them on website thanks
I wonder if they'd work on a first Gen Tundra next?
can they still open the back hatch?
A Rigd Ultraswing or a Dirtcom hitch carrier would have done the same thing as your tire carrier without the ugly holes.
This might be the best show on POWERNATION
How do you know it’s an American build show
1: no guard on grinder
2: welding spatter all over the paint
Very awesome tire rack. How do I make an appointment to schedule one for my 11 4runner?
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.
Awesome footage and work guys
Finally a Toyota project. Now only if power nation would build some vintage Toyota engines and newer ones
Well done design and build on that custom front bumper
Interesting project. I have a 2011 4Runner that looks just like this. Great vehicle. Never breaks. 👍
That plasma table is amazing
09:23 should have kept the lower grill instead of cutting it off.
Are you losing airflow to the radiators?
Finally a 4Runner build
😎💪🏼
👍👍👍
I like that you kept most of the original bumpers. It’s a clean look.
Why don`t you put dual exhaust on it.!!!!!
Hi How muchyou make the rear bumper for toyota four runner 2021 for me?
I'm envious of the toys these guys have.
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.
You guys have some serious skills. Nice work.
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.
A "Viper cut" on the front bumper cover is a massive improvement for the looks of the 5th gens, and it gives you extra clearance for in front of the tires.
Awesome video by powernation
Every time I see a single tube holding on a tire larger than a factory 30inch spare, makes me worry. Any kind of bouncy trail, that big tire is going to end up at the bottom..
Zzzzzzzz frrrp
Nice work guys! Making that 4-Runner look real!
Good luck 👍
Are these shows new?
