Hi Jim, as always exciting videos! Your videos inspired me purchase this year right car and it was Trail Premium 2016. I bought it in US and brought to Kyrgyzstan. I am so happy with my new rig! I already traveled enough through my country, the car is beast!
Just found your channel, the footage is fantastic. The lack of B.S. just the natural soundtrack and surroundings is what makes it great. Keep up the great work oh the photography is awesome.
Mostly Driver. Smooth and momentum kept that T4R moving. Impressive driving forsake. If you were driving that JEEP it would have looked VERY differently...
Great video (again!), I was impressed how well the 4Runner did. The Jeep (too wide?) didn't do as well (in my humble opinion). That said, it seems like this is a demonstration of two vehicles, and two drivers. The 4Runner driver was smoother, the Jeep driver seemed very 'rammy'.
Thanks for the comment. TRD 4Runners are really Incredible off-road. I’ve wheeled a lot of 4x4’s and they are by far my favorite. The Jeep is a manual with no lockers. Much harder to be smooth.
Love it, have very similar looking 4runner, you doing all this stuff makes me thing I've over built and over thought mine. Great stuff. I'm planning to run the Rubicon with mine next year, IFS group, love the vids
Love your videos! The last 4Runner we had was a 95 and we loved it. I just rented a new one while my Tacoma was in for service and now I’m thinking about swapping for a new 4Runner. Can I ask what real world MPG your getting on the road? Im averaging around 17.5 to 18 in my 22 Tacoma TRD off-road
Nice throttle control making everything looks so smooth. I saw in another comment you use locker with A-trac, do you ever experiment with MTS? What’s your opinion on that system?
Thanks appreciate the nice comment. I just use rear locker and Atrac. First year or so I played around with the other, stuff really didn’t notice much difference.
130,000 Three rear main seals Two axle seals Three belt pulley’s One starter Couple sets of control arms Transfer case seal Lots of mud and water caused most of the failures.
@@jimerinrose6235 thanks for response. I have 2021 TRD PRO 36K miles. Mostly Highway daily driver. I had 2 fox shocks go bad and replaced under warranty. Kind of disappointed since only off-roading is beach driving since I’m on Long Island. I had 2017 TRD off-road like yours. Sold it with 77K problem free miles and got a 2021 venture. Put 11K on that. Wanted the pro and didn’t like the white color. I prefer magnetic gray. I finally got a PRO. Had to travel to MD to get it. Love them. Super reliable. You have nerves of steel on some of the videos I have seen with some serious drop offs and very narrow. I don’t know if I could do that. Not a fan of heights. Be safe. Happy trails. Thanks
I don't think that Jeep driver knows how to offroad yet, mainly with the throttle control. sounded like they were gonna blow their transmission or snap an axle, jeeeez, the noises coming from that thing had me cringing.
The Jeep driver seems a novice. It can be said just by looking at the attached tow hitch killing the whole point of a departure angle. And the control is too jerky. Not at all what a Jeep is capable of
I agree looks like the jeep driver is driving one footed the whole time, he also looks very apprehensive when the tires lift in the air, sort of like it’s a new feeling to the driver and is scaring him off a bit.
