Where are you buying parts? I just bought a ‘99 Hilux Surf and would like to change some stuff out

Which shop performed the V8 build?? I'm interested.

100 miles later he’s phoning his Salesman and asking why it over heated and won’t move. Twin turbos are engine eaters

can’t wait for more content on this truck!

Must reseal the half moon plugs when doing the valve cover gasket’s

HAVE THE EXACT TRUCK IN ABOUT THE SAME SHAPE== PUT BA,LL JOINTS ON YOURS !!

Man she’s gorgeous. Nice work

Fake

I got a guy selling one for 7300 I'm wondering if I should get it It has 210000 miles frame is clean no rust srs model i havent checked tye transmission oil for coolant cause we uave different schedules. Do you think that price is crazy or if everything checks out should i get it?? I been thinking about it for 2 weeks lol help

I have a 1996, bought it new and have done all the maintenance myself. I’ve over maintained it through the years and have treated the frame every year due to living in the rust belt. I would never sell it and just bought a 2024 before the V6 is gone. I’ve done my valve cover gaskets twice. The only aftermarket part is an all aluminum radiator

Loved your video. A little constructive criticism: When you guys are pointing out things in the engine compartment, it would preferable to see what you are referencing rather than having the camera on the hosts. I have subscribed!

the bad pedal comes from the out of adjustment rear pads... several hard braking in reverse will adjust them out and make the pedal better. .try it!

I like my 4runner limited edition. It's the best

What a clean rig and a great walkthrough of the maintenance these needs. Putting this into my saved videos to come back to when I pick up my own 3rd gen, or Hilux Surf as they're known here in the UK. I grew up in New Zealand running around mountains and farms up on my babyseat in one of these rigs, can't wait to get one of my own now I've got the means. Great video cheers!

Where could I purchase that lift in the video thumbnail picture?

I have a 99 limited that has 185k now. The upper and lower ball joints and all the suspension rubber should be replaced with uretane.then it will handle like a race car.

Do these work with a kdss 4runner?

That’s a 5th Gen but okay

I want that bumper on my 2016 LX.

I bought my 1999 Dark Jade Green 4Runner 4WD with 150k from a used car lot for $5500. I’m the 3rd owner, and I sequentially did some proactive repairs for minimal $$. In the last several years, the worst thing that’s happened is a $350 starter replacement. My son had a 2024 4Runner Pro, and his is way more advanced, but I love my 20 year old classic that still runs like a Swiss watch.

Does your friend have a UA-cam channel where he shared how he did all the repairs to your 4Runner?

Would be nice to get links to those forums for the specifics on timing belts replacement, tundra brake upgrade, lower ball joints, etc

She only kind of knows what she’s talking about , she doesn’t work on this rig

3rd Gen Surf owner here in NZ. Just found your channel. Subbed

my 4runner that I bought in ~2018 is almost identical to this. The only difference is mine's a 2000. Same color(s), factory diff locker, same interior, and even the same tan husky floor liners. I don't have the original floor liners though. Mine has spent it's entire life in FL and GA and thankfully I can also say the frame is almost spotless. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do with it.

I have a 99 4 runner. My AC comes on when it wants and sometimes I can control it and other times I can't. Is it just a loose wire or what?

🌴 Hey guys great find 👍🏼 it’s a project vehicle,but gen 3’s are so worth it , like you I found one but mine isn’t a 4 runner mine is 2002 S-R5 2 wd, which for me was great it’s got 197,000 on it runs great but needed some of the usual maintenance that the previous owner didn’t want to do , I didn’t have any paperwork or history on the truck except an oil change sticker from a garage in Sebring fl. And a bunch of Disney stickers on the back window, ( soccer mom’s ride ) I bought this truck as a small boat tower, it’s a 3.4 V6 , not the greatest on gas around 21-23mpg but I’m in it for reliability in the long run ,it’s clean the under side looks like show room ,it’s got a few door dings and a small ding on the hood other than that it’s a clean body , mine was $5000 , I’ve replaced battery, radiator, valve cover gaskets, plugs, wires, air filter , oil change and filter, pcv valve, cleaned mass air flow sensor, replaced a leaking brake unit on firewall , ( still needs timing belt , water pump , pully bearing job yet ) just replaced a rear main seal tranny pan seal replaced Tran’s fluid filter new trans tail seal , also fixed right rear leaky axle seal replaced bearing , so there’s been a lot done but this is a J truck built in Japan and it will probably outlast me ! I’ve had a bunch of other vehicles in my life but this is one I’m in love with , I’m feeling lucky that I found it 👍🏼

I own a 5th Gen but I'm holding out for the 7th Gen, 2 cylinder, twin-turbo...the gas mileage is gonna be great!

My dad has a 4Runner 😊

why would you build such a pos? the turning radius on these rigs is horrible.. 3rd gen sure, this? WHAT A WASTE

If anyone knows who can repair a 2005 4Runner AC control unit please message me. Toyota said the part has been discontinued I’ve gone through two eBay units that were duds. Any help is appreciated.

Another solid video, Just straight to the point with everything! We released a portable jump starter. Can we invite you to do a review? We have emailed for an inquiry.

1:00 exactly this! This is why I'd build my own over buying a super clean/modded one. They all have the valve cover leaks. All of them. Over 10k, I'm getting a 2010 4runner or V8 4th gen

I love the looks of these 3 rd gen 4 runners. You got a good one. Unfortunately ,for me in New England ,rust kills them in under 15 years. .........so I have a 5th gen 4 runner SR5. Have to wash them constantly in the winter

That sound deadening under the hood looks like it had a rodent nest at one time. That what mine looked like. Mice!

Why does it always have to be four wheel drive?How often do you actually use it? I would be fine with a two wheel drive

New to the 4runner Fam, cant wait to see what yll turn this truck into

Can I fit a yakima 18 skybox on the 4runner with these without hitting the tailgate?

Where was the "test" part of this video?!!

Obviously these guys have no clue what a 4runner is. I just sold a 2002 with 276k on it, greatest truck ever, just bought a 2006 Sequoia. Learn your crud guys

Yessssssssir

Where did you get that bumper?

That’s what I’m looking for… how much?

How much to build another. 2024 trd pro 2000 miles on it and I also bought this vehicle to replace a jeep rubicon 2003, I bought it new. stretched 14 inches 39 in super swamper Currie rock jocks f/r. Twin transfer cases. Nv4500, mated to a 383 stroker Chevy 12 inches of long arm suspension. Just sold the jeep and the Toyota has been a failure in stock form on easy camping/ fishing trips. Magnuson super charger waiting for delivery. How long to build another. Pay in bitcoin.

Looks like a regular white dude with a regular lifted 4runner 😂😂😂

Nice truck. I have a 2002 limited with heated seats and have checked others at the junk yards and the wiring is all there. All you need is the switches and the heating elements 2 per seat, or get seats from a limited that came with heated seats and swap them.

Did u buy this 4runner used? How much did u pay for and what miles it had?

any follow up vids to this? I have the same one and have a few niggles that i'd love to fix. How can i get in touch with you guys?

Why did you go with an E load range tire ?

I did everything you guys did in addition fuel filter Trans radiator cooler Rear shocks & springs + torsion bar Rear upper&lower control arms All LED interior bulb swap
