One of the best looking runners I've seen. Really good job!

[Biggiiful]

The top tents make me wish Toyota could do a "camp" version of the 4 runner that comes with a built in tent/ceiling like camping vans do.

She turned it into the perfect “zombie apocalypse survival car”.

Bottomline, she loves 4runner because she love her dog. 🙌🏻

It is such a nice 4runner, but goodness gracious, 20k is unreal !!! My 4runner only has about $2500 in upgrades. Level kit and wheel/tires. As for the body, I actually did my own viper cut mod which came out good. The next thing I want to do is put a metal rear bumper and that's about it for now. That will get me closer to 3k in mods... Lol I don't know how you got to 20k but still, your build is awesome 👏🏽

Beautiful truck, beautiful woman, beautiful dog.

Just want to say nice looking 4Runner and you're doing what you love too!

[TheEssentialist]

I’m in love!! And that’s a really nice 4 Runner also

[Miggy]

What an awesome build and I’m slowly getting mine with the ladder rack for the back.

I love this 4RUNNER. This ones done right. If you're always exploring than how many miles are on that nice rig?

Great video and well edited. I like your first discussion on having a dog and how it impacted your exploration adventures. I too want a camping buddy (dog) but not sure I want to give up that flexibility to go anywhere at anytime. Thanks!

Sweet.
Consider Dyna-matting all 5 doors. That was my first mod (along with changing out the sound system). I actually did 2 layers of it.
Cuts down bigly on road noise and improved the audio quality.
Nice truck lady.

Wow, you are ready for anything in that setup, love your 4runner, looks amazing.

My most expensive mod for my 2019 4Runner TRD Off Road is the Magnuson supercharger. That was $7k and I got a lot more out of my build, spending close to as much, including the ss. $20k in mods, just on the things she mentioned is just money not well spent. You don't need those expensive Fox Shocks, not for overlanding.

I have a Magnuson Supercharger (my favorite mod), King Shocks, Victory 4x4 Blitz slim front Winch Bumper and Warn winch, 35" KM3s given to me by my brother's shop (I swap based on needs), No RTT so have my entire roof back as storage. Lots of storage!😁 I did a rear seat delete in 2021, so have tons of interior space. To sleep, I use an Australian double sized swag tent on a cot that elevates it off the ground. I also purchased DeepSleep's 4Runner solo self inflating air mattress with memory foam, that perfectly contours the side of the back of my 4Runner, leaving tons of space, with seats folded down, but i did a rear seat delete, so have tons more space. It is a great emergency option for when weather is bad, or Grizzlies are poking around. When not in use and deflated, it goes in an easy to store bag. I have an effective dual battery, inverter setup, plus I bought a lithium ion battery generator (a good one), that can be charged while I drive, or via solar panels that came with it. It improved my night time/meal time experience 150%! It runs everything I use at night, all night (laptop, fans, charging phone, USB lights, heated blanket etc etc), . Freeing my main power up, so I never have to do the wake up power level check, anymore. I love it! Oh and I have an auxiliary long range fuel tank too, doubling my range.

If I didn't have the ss, I still have a far more superior build, for less.. With double your fuel range, lots of storage now, having my roof back as storage, so my build can sustain me for A LOT longer, and I have all the power i need etc.

I know this post was long, but I just wanted to point out to potential overlanding newcomers that her build is a huge waste of $20k. Also, you can find excellent condition gear second hand, including offroad bumpers, or anything else you need. There is soo much of it that great deals come easy!

Beautiful Tunner you have there. I am in over $20k in upgrades on mine too. It all happened so fast lol.

[worknclass]

Nice! I’ve got the 4Runner addiction bad. What a wonderful life it would be traveling and camping! We off grid camp a lot but my entire set up is in a large Alice pack. You have a great companion! Enjoy!

[tjman]

Beautiful build. I love that C4 swing out, that may be my favorite part.

[MZ-blwg]

I reheated mine to 4.88’s and it’s perfect, drives like stock or maybe even a little better and I can do 90 all day long uphill if needed. You’ll love the upgrade

[jyanezny]

Awesome truck. Even nicer outdoor lifestyle. You go girl!!!

[carbonking]

If you are going to go all in with lots of mods and add ons a 4Runner then Magnuson Supercharger is a must. Or else you a very heavy lifted slug that can barely get out of its own way.
