  1. 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. : )

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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..
