4x4’s & Overlanding
-
I’ll start it off:
So here’s my rig!
A 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium. When I bought mine, 4Runners were at their peak and the only way to get a TRD offroad/pro was to agree to paying a $10k+ mark up.
That was not going to happen.
I settled on this SR5 premium, it had 40k miles on it & it was a 4x4 which is all that really mattered to me.
The build is below:
- 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium
- Dobinson Twin Tube Suspension w/ Dobinson UCA’s
- Black Rhino Convoy wheels wrapped in 285/70/17 tires
- Body mount chop
- Roam Cases & Roam Awning
- Gobi Ranger rack w/ Ladder
- Baha Designs Ditch & Fog lights
- many others that I have put on the truck/gotten rid of. Including tire swing outs, portable showers, and other accessories.
I’ve taken this truck off roading many times. Busted both of my passenger doors (which are still busted,) replaced my front bumper, drowned my starter, almost over heated my engine— TWICE, busted my alignment more times than I can count, and probably more things that I’m just forgetting.
Some of my best moments came from living in this truck. I lived in my truck for 6 months intentionally. I wanted to live that “van life,” and decided to do it out of my 4runner. I built everything myself and it was a blast.
I’m going to drop a good amount of pictures down below that show my truck in different stages of its build. Some things have been changed up!

@indigo_nico thanks man! I’d love to do so much more to it but all my money is getting taken by IHUK
I’m wanting to go up to at least 34’s, do a tune, and possibly change the rack to a Sherpa one. Once I somehow get enough coin maybe even long travel it!

@worn2fade fantastic thread and can’t wait to see where this goes…I’ll add some toys in a bit

My current ride and the craziest vehicle I’ve driven to date. 6.7L HO, F350, with the tremor package. The claim is 1200ft/lbs. of torque…all I do know is that I am easy on the gas in slippery conditions as she wants to break the tires loose.

My old rig. No overlanding, but lots of hunting and fishing. My hunting group’s last deer lease was quite large, so I would camp at the back of the property away from everyone so I wouldn’t make a ruckus when I set out to hunt the next morning.
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@Go-For-Chill looks killer bro! I’ve never hunted but always wanted to try it. What do you have now?

I think I posted a picture of my rig on here before. 1970 Bronco, 302.
'Rolling resto', it still needs a lot of TLC. Running on 31s, 1" body lift, 1.5" suspension. Converted to an NV3550 5speed.
Still debating if I should touch the body, but then again I know how this ends, been there before.
Current state of affairs:
Trying to hunt down a ticking noise. Pretty convinced it's the valve guides, a buddy of mine will rebuild the heads.

@worn2fade My wife’s family owns a farm and I use it on/around doing all kind of stuff. Most of the time I just fill the thing with fire wood, but haul the boat and toys (dirt bikes, 4 wheeler, Argo, side x side). A buddy of mine is an arborist and drives a 2500 gmc. He got stuck in a snow bank hauling a trailer that was loaded very heavily with logs…I put the straps on and pulled him out barely breaking a sweat. Even he was blown away with the power the thing has.

Super cool @tody - dig the colour too

2017 4Runner SR5. Definitely my fav car I've ever had. Over 6 figures on the mileage now.
First time taking it on properly gnarly stuff was last summer out in the Colorado San Juans. Fun times.
