Kevin Estela's 2015 Toyota 4Runner Walkaround 

It’s refreshing to see a vehicle built to blend in and not have every cool new trinket hanging off it. I live out of my truck up to 6 months out of the year in rural, suburban, and urban areas, and you’d never be able to tell by looking at it from the outside. Looking forward to the interior tour.

Good stuff. A sensible setup that doesn't add crazy lifts and a ton of weight. Looking forward to the next one.

What I love about your videos is how practical and accessible your gear is. As someone with little to no disposable income there are a number of these items I intend on purchasing immediately.

Never thought of storing a tourniquet on the grab handle. Brilliant idea.

Love that low profile bumper and winch combo!

Twice, including yesterday I needed TQ at a wreck. Great idea to locate there! Always have one on IFAK and multiple in vehicle kit but that accessibility may help ME if pinned in vehicle.

I have the same set up with the strong box, molle window mounts, and overhead rack. Can't wait to see the video on it

This is a fantastic 4runner setup. Sensible. Capable. Sustainable. I love it.

Can't go wrong with the SSO front bumper. Great quality. I am running the Falken Wildpeak, AT3W, and soon to put on the new AT4W. I run in "toyota circles" and have heard a lot of complaints about the KO2 and keeping them balanced. Good video.

You should upgrade that highway safety vest to a tear away version so if it gets caught by a passing vehicle you don't get carried down the highway. Tear away is mandatory for all highway emergency response these days.

Looking forward to the follow up video.

Fantastic advice and helpful information. Great job.

Beast of a rig !!!!

Who needs a new car when it’s a 4Runner 😎. Bout to do some of the same to my 2008 4R. Good tires, small lift, and front bumper. Only thing I dislike about these suvs is the massive plastic rear bumper

Ok. Watching this gives me more confidence on my 2015 Toyota Tundra with200,000 miles on it. I’m hoping to get 100,000 miles more out of it

Thank you for the content . Respect to someone who has been there and back.

I love my 2016 4Runner Premium, it is still a stock 2WD I don't need anything more since I live in the Tampa, FL. and it is nothing but concrete. I will say it is a little weird every time I watch other 4Runner videos and everyone always talks about having 90,120 and upwards of 180K miles on their 4Runners. I just rolled 62,552 miles on my 4Runner as of 2/16/24, I to have owned since brand new and is paid off, car payments suck. I think I need to make some friends so I can actually get out and drive it more. Kevin, great video and I am glad to see I am not the only one who doesn't mind having a stock 4Runner. I guess us older guys are just more practical I guess. Keep the videos coming Brotha.

Great video Kevin, my 4Runner SR5 2012 with 112.000 miles was my concern. After watching this video and reading some comments, I'm no worried about the miles anymore. Waiting for your next video. Ty

Love the setup.

Finally a vehicle video that doesn’t have 40 grand of accessories lol. I’m selling my beautiful modded out 6 speed manual transmission lowered car to get one of these or a truck.. can’t decide.

Love these videos can’t wait for the next part

I was debating weather to get the jeep gladiator rubicon or the dodge rebel for a Overland land build so, I test drove a Toyota 4Runner TRD off road premium while my wife’s camry was getting work on at the dealership and I love it just sitting in I new it was quality built I mean it felt solid like a Mercedes G wagon so I Ordered it that day 2021 TRD off road premium the minute I took delivery I started my Overland build went with the bilstein 6112 with westcott desing pre collar kit which kept me right at 3” lift in the front the rear I did Old man emu 898 rear springs and bilstein 5160 in the rear for extra weight prinsu roof rack for my ikamper mini rick sliders ladder that’s it also dual AMG batteries. Tires ko2 285/70/17 and wheels Method 305 17x8.5 drives better than stock maybe a steel bumper next with winch so, far i put 10 grand in Mods buoy in Japan with pride your right 180,000 miles on yours and you said it’s just barely broken in I got 30,000 miles on mine I have i long way to go 🤙🏾

Glad to see a fellow North Carolinian.

Kevin is the only dude I know that can look cool while wearing Curb your Enthusiasm attire on

Cool low-profile set-up. I would definitely go with a hammer style window break in lieu of that spring activated one. I have witnessed the spring activated punch fail to break glass in emergency situations. Especially when tint is involved. Nice mods.

Great video! Excited to see your input on this. I’m own a 2009 4Runner with 285,000 miles with no issues. Still running strong. Im thinking about getting that rear rack for extra fuel like yours.

Nice rig! You failed on the license plate though 😂

Great video! I’m considering buying a used 2015 Toyota 4Runner. The question I am trying to answer is whether or not the 2nd and 3rd row seats can be flattened on both sides for car camping.

Good stuff brother!

Love the video but check into the law a little more about that “snake bite medicine” must be an original sealed bottle to not be counted as an “open bottle”

I also havea 15 4runner. I'm hoping to add a winch behind the stock bumper, then get a license plate mount that attaches to the fairlead to completely (hopefully) hide it. Did you put in a secondary fuel tank where the spare used to be? I know there are some folks out there who do that. I also keep my resqme tool attached via rubber band (for isolation) to my 4wd lever so it isn't in my field of view....but still accessible to driver and passenger. It's illegal in my state to hang things from the mirror.

You have a link to that tourniquet?

I bet I know some of the stuff in the back. You sound like the guy I heard on The Fieldcraft Survival Pocast about a Cold Weather (not just winter) vehicle survival kit. Kinda weird

Great walkthrough- thank you for posting!

Thanks for the video. Good information. From a survival standpoint, should you have a moonroof or not? Thank you and keep on the good work!!

Hi, good staff and video. Could you help to find same outside rack for spare tire… Thanks

Very nice gear and well thought out for yourself and considerations for us to ponder. My question would be around your comment of not drawing attention to yourself or being overall tacticool. I do admit I like some tacticool, but I just don't do it due to the increased level of theft. Some people will steal anything not tied down and locked...and many times even that does not matter. You have some very nice stuff inside in your secret stash in the back...peeping crooks could bust out a widow and at least attempt to separate your vehicle from its hidden treasures. Thoughts on vehicle security do's and do not's other than an expensive car alarm?

Well done!😊

Awesome, add armor & weapons on it be a nice technical 😂

Thanks for sharing. What package is you rig..TRD/ Trail.... what special features does it have that you recommend it there any features you would like to have or added?

For 180k miles you’ve kept this car very clean. Curious what your maintenance process (other than oil changes) was. I would love a Kayak video btw. My ears perked up when you mentioned that.

Nice! My neighbors daughter has that same car.

Toyota, for when you want to get anywhere and always get home.

I’ve been looking to get one for a daily. My 7.3 F350 is too expensive for to/from work. Is there a year better than others?

NICE,,,,MOM SAYS JUST KEEP THE OIL CHANGED

What is the name of your watch? Grant from North Carolina

Do you have any issues with no plate on the front with all the driving you are doing?

Excellent advice

FYI people can still read your plates in the opening few seconds

want to see part 2

Bro the tape for the license plate didn't help much haha

Mike how come your boys at gbrs had James arrested???

No EMP shield?

Do you have to take your bumper set up off when you change the oil? I know stock I have to take off the front skid plate. Great video! Thanks!

BANG BANG ‼️

No widdle wadder? 😂🤔

Is it me or do those vehicles look like pennywise from IT.

Over extend roof racks, aka date wreckers 😂

Kevin is not likeable. He started the video with "I don't care if you like it or not." Turned me off.
