05 Tundra DC, 06 4runner, 98 Tacoma , They’re not going anywhere!! Never had a problem, except the Takata airbag recall, and a ball joint recall on the Tundra

Every time I watch your 4runner videos, I want to sell my 03 SE just to get rid of the cladding. That color matched 4th gen looks so good! Old is gold!

Old is GOLD!!! My first car/truck is an 06 4runner, and I plan to keep her around as long as possible!

Old is gold bro!! Currently own a 2006 SR5 TRD off road Tacoma 4x4, gonna be my keeper forever (was my great grandpa's old truck), and a 2010 nissan xterra for the wife 4x4. Both beautiful trucks and we love them to death. Tacoma's got a 3in lift and gonna be adding 33s on her, and the Xterra has 2.5in lift, with 33s on her.

Old is Gold

The sherpa is so good!!! This is not for everyone, but raptor lining the paint and spraying it with clear coat is great for those that hit the trails often. You dont have to worry about branches leaving streaks across the side of your car and cleanup is a breeze. A dark olive or forest green doesnt look bad either, black works too.

Yeah…. Old is GOLD 03 Limited 4 runner.

03 Limited V8 checking in, I love it and will have it forever. Have a 3” old man emu lift, 33” falken wildpeaks, victory roof rack, and dirtcom trail swing tire carrier. I’m doing the head unit this weekend actually.

OLD IS GOLD!!!!!

Old is definitely gold. '03 Sequoia 😉

Old is gold!

Old is gold. 02 WRX and 09 V6 4Runner

I've been looking to get a 4th gen runner recently. Couple of days ago I think I convinced myself that a sequoia is the way to go.

Old is gold 👌

Agreed. You won't find me driving a 4 cylinder 4runner even if I had the near six figures it costs to purchase one.

I love my 02 4Runner , but the more I see yours the more I want an 07/08 V8 with TRD Pro rims

old is gold

Old is Gold! 05 Limited

You should do the Diode Dynamics SS3 fog light upgrade. It’s totally worth it!

Oh how old is so gold! I’ve got my 2018 4runner. Definitely want to hang on to it for a LOOOONG time Edit: have you done a video on the best way to paint correct then ceramic coat? I know I’d be super interested in that…

I like the older models because it signifies you got a awesome truck with a awesome price tag what else could you want ? I also dont like being flashy they also look more rugged because they got some wear and tear.

Bank account drained successfully 👌🏻

I heard the Doug thorley factory recently burned down and they are just now getting back to manufacturing

Hi 4Runner owner here, great video, nice setup. Would be curious about your ceramic coating and what if anything do you apply to your undercarriage ?

Yeah... I dig my 04, V-6 198,000. I like my Boss head unit with the back up camera. I'm the second owner running Continentals. I will look for replacement headers and , eventually , will recover the seats. I live in Tampa, so don't get back into the woods often. Only gripes is wind noise around the doors (?), and the cracked dash. Any recommendations for reconditioning my stock wheels ,and exhaust for the V-6 ?

What would the tube headers equivalent be like on a v6, would it still be worth upgrading. Idk engines like that

Just get offset rims to get them out a little. You should not run spacers. Why cut corners when building your rig.

I finally finished my 06 frame swap. Ive gone through 4 sets of cheaper wheels trying to find something I like

I agree with You totally!!! I’m still trying to decide what to do with my stock 05 V6 4-runner as far as the leveling and tires!?

Love my 08

Loved the vid! Would you recommend the place where you did your paint correction near Toronto? My 3rd gen is in desperate need :)

Great upgrades! Old is Gold!! I have a 07 4Runner Sport Terrain edition, and I noticed in this video that you've upgraded your 4-Runner'stemperature dials (that look like those in your Tacoma's dials) and swapped the side of the location of the flasher button. Would you provide a link of where you acquired those dials? Also, was it difficult to swap position of the flasher button; as mine is located on the far right side closer to the passenger seat and I would like to move it closer to the driver side of the dash? I've upgraded all of the exterior lights to LED from halogens, and added the "Toyota" grill with the orange lights (like what you had previous, but changed out for the one without the orange lights), as well as swapped out the dealer roof rack for the Sherpa roof rack which I think added a more aggressive appearance. I've performed a cost comparison between painting versus wrapping my 4-Runner, and I'm leaning towards wrapping due to the costs. Overall my 4-Runner is in really good condition given its age, and from where it originated (Ohio) and the lack of rust to the undercarriage. I learned that I'm the second owner of "Stella" and it's evident that the initial owner was just as OCD as I am in taking care of their possessions. However, the fender flares, due to being plastic and not metal, the paint didn't age as well and there is oxidation, as well as some paint blemishes to the body itself. To paint the vehicle, I was quoted $10k, where as to have it wrapped would be $3k-to-$4k. Thanks, and keep up with the awesome videos!

Love my 07 old is gold atodaso

I have the v6 2005 4Runner. Do these also suffer from the cracked exhaust manifold?

Ooooold isssss goooooold

old is gold! where can i find the windscreen protector?

I really want to do some Doug Thorley headers, but trying to figure out if it’s too involved for me to do or if I should take it to a shop.

Anyone having issues getting Doug Thorley headers? I’m looking into getting some soon. I think last time I check on the website they were in stock

Hey bro, I have a v8 4runner and am considering selling it for a tacoma. I was wondering if you could only have 1 which it would be? I have the tow package so I'm wondering if I should just get a trailer instead. Thanks!

Brother I’ve been trying to find a front diff and transfer case breather, can you help me please!

For rust proofing, any recommendations for the 4th gen? Looking at Krown or Corrosion Free.

Did your Hollywood bike rack end up rusting? Mines pretty shot

I have an 03 with 44k miles, trying to use as a daily driver. We live in deep deer country and my wife is scared to drive it because we can’t seem to get it insured for the real value. I’ve tried all the collector companies, etc. etc. so I’m thinking a minimalist Bull bar. Don’t want a big thing, but just enough to protect it some. Any ideas?

I've modified my 4runner wit dents and scratches, all for free.

What wind/rain deflectors are those on the 4runner?

9:25 please do

do you have links for the wheel set up?

With the doug thorly headers, do you still have the cats on it?

Just stop!

I'm not off roading. ever. I don't need to be more aggressive either.
