C4 just got major publicity. This is gonna bring major sponsors for more content and builds

[GoldenHart]

Every time I watch these build series, it always reminds the excessive amount of money spent and how you should learn to do it yourself and save all of that money and learn a skill.
An angle grinder, welder, basic hand tools and a small place to work is all you need. Start off with a small part and enjoy the learning the process. This is what I did 15 years ago and with the money I saved I now have a small shop full of equipment for my projects and from time to time I also do custom fab for others as well.

Thank you TFL, Grant and James for building this SR5 to greatness. I too own a 4Runner SR5! I’ve watched countless videos of TRD Off-road, Pros builds it’s become overkill. There’s little content built around the under appreciated SR5. I can’t wait to see that beautiful beast hit the trails!

[TheLhsgrad]

Maybe have a series about DIY build versus shop build. Great video TFL can’t wait to see them go head to head.

How to make a bone stock vehicle great? MONEY! And lots of it.

[Praetor]

Really really loving this series as I just bought a 2023! Keep em coming!!

I like this series, It will be interesting how well these mods will work. We have a similar set up on our 2014 Trail 4Runner. 3" OME lift with the medium springs, 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires on factory rims, LFD crossbars on our factory roof rack, SSO rock sliders, Toyota TRD aluminum skid plate, 12000 Badlands winch on a Warn receiver mount. It would be nice to have the upgraded shocks and control arms along with the steel bumpers...we went more budget conscious and a bit lighter weight. I am lucky, as a decent mechanic with a fairly well equipped home garage I didn't have to pay for labor. Ours does have a rear locker and crawl control. If we keep ours a while longer we may go with a front bumper like the C4 you used, as it would definitely help our approach angle.

Nice to see C4 on the channel. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. I've got the low pro winch front bumper, rear bumper, sliders and full skids on my '18 Taco Sport 4x4. Still gotta do suspension for the added weight but, DAMN does it look and perform awesome!

The R4T guy got the Fox DSC adjusters backwards. Low Speed Adjuster: is for things that move the shock shaft more slowly like Highway Driving. The High Speed adjuster: is for things that move the shock shaft quickly like off-road obstacles and whoops. The DSC labels relate to shock shaft speed NOT the vehicle speed. I have custom valved and tuned DSCs from Accutune on my GX, they are pretty comfy and versatile. I did choose a different system for my LC though.

R4T seems like a great crew. Watched them with their 2022 Tundra build.

[WanderlostOverland]

Hi guys, it was fun watching you choose parts and build a 4Runner! We’re looking forward to the next episode! ❤

[handlex]

It’s all about ground clearance and tires ! 😉

[scotty]

Love my C4 LoPro. Mounted on '23 ORP with a Comeup 9.5 rs. Coated in Raptor liner. We'll see how that stuff holds up.

[MrBillsfishin]

Lots of really nice parts added. Should be a huge difference in the capability and ride quality.

[Kristian_Saile]

It would be a great service to document the before and after weights if the build as a huge issue these days are folks blowing through their payload. It’s pretty eye opening how much some bolt ons detract from your Pauli’s and how easy it is to be way over GVWR on 4Runners or for any vehicle this size when folks add all of their camping gear, recovery gear, tools, and passengers.

[trailrunnah]

I like the C4 stuff, and as a 4Runner owner I'm watching the build with interest. I don't really understand the reasoning behind getting the rear bumper with no swing out though, seems like the reason most people actually want the rear bumper is the ability to run the tire on the back and attach gear to it.

[richfarfugnuven]

I do wish this generation 4 runner came with an 8 or 10 speed transmission...

[keananfischer]

Dude I have lived in south dakota my whole life and I have never heard of them! Crazy!

[reydossantos]

Great video! Super informative and it’s cool to hear from the suppliers themselves. Thanks for sharing

[BADSKILLZ]

Wow, I mean for a warehouse to have an environment like this shows A LOT... I see y'all!
