Sherpa Motorsports 2004 Long Travel V8 4Runner Build Walkaround 

NICE

Good to see the self-lubricating plastic suggestion in action! Wish you the best this season! Thanks for repping us 4th Gen 'Runners!

Dig the new wrap guys

Can’t wait to see it on the lakebed in person

You inspired me to continue building my 03 v8 4runner, i hope one day i can get mine on the track!

Damn already at the lake bed! 4runner looks awesome!!!

See yall out there!

I have a 4th gen 4R and a gen 1 Raptor and I love seeing this truck and progress! Really makes me want to all out with the 4R one day. Rad stuff guys!

Nice video

Love the new wrap! Go Team #4628!

pretty cool to see you guys running that 4Runner hard without any bypasses!

I freaking love this truck! Rooting for you guys at KOH!

Wow 😱

@Sherpa Motorsports Kickass build! Although I'm a Jeep guy I'm looking forward to following your channel.

What a kickass video guys! Really impressed by the production. Somehow the Sherpa 4Runner just keeps getting cooler and more badass. Can't wait to see how you all do. Go Team Sherpa!

Awesome, I can't wait for the race content! I'm really impressed by all the work you've put into the truck and the wrap looks great.

Can't wait for this year's EMC. Love your videos. Will be watching you and some of the other small teams. I'm hoping one of you guys, small teams, will podium!!!

This is a work of art!!

Love seeing this thing, it's an absolute beast!

Yesss sherpa upload! Super hype keep it up guys

First time seeing your channel. Alex did a fantastic presentation. It's one thing to list equipment and specs, but he sprinkled in a generous amount of WHY bits for almost everything**. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks! **Informative on every item: Amber lights because you like it in the dust (and matches the wrap color), UHMW skid for slickness, limit straps and coil-overs critical to prevent CV binding, factory brakes for easy parts, S-pod switch pods simplify wiring (and allow duplicate pods), air-jack for lightness, fuel MPG and reasons, etc. Damn great details.

Great video. Looking forward to all the KOH videos.

Toyota 4runner awsome 👌

Love the build!

I'd day to have this done! It is a great use for a 4th gen and that V8! I'm loving Icon!

I been looking St doing the fj cruiser t case swap on my 4th gen but wasn't sure what all is needed to do the swap @Sherpa Motorsports

Bad ass

Really generous guys from Sherpa❤️👍🏻quite delighted to come across your path. What a beauty..not a toy at all,here goes my subscription,sharing,and thumb up My little way to reciprocate for so much from you🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻👍🏻

Cool video but I would've liked to hear about the drivetrain and any mods in the engine bay.

I bet whoever wired that rig is pretty cool

i watched the whole damn video waiting see that rig in action for goodness sake!!!

Dope

Awesome buggy God bless from Canada eh I have a 03

Awesome as usual! If you get a min could you tell us the model # of the rear Dobinsons? Thx

Do the 2009-2014 caliper and rotor upgrade from a 5th gen, bigger caliper bolts up to stock spindle and parts at any part store or junk yard love it on mine 😎😎😜

Looks like ya guys got ride of the 20 plus switches that were on the center dash

Niceeeee.... pls build mine......

is the bumper custom? i wasn't able to find the exact one on the addicted off-road site

You guys run Icon's IIC system? What inputs does it use? G-force and vehicle speed? To meet rule 3.9.7-2 I imagine it cannot or must not be enabled to use shock position? Is this something the team has to block in the software or did Icon pretty much produce these shocks for 4600 class? In the same vein the rule states you can't use position but I guess velocity (dx/dt) is okay? The whole system seems like it would be a lot of fun to mess with and tune.

What do you think of a V6 racer? Are you allowed to do any engine modifications to the V6 to make it race ready? - Supercharger or even the simple plug and play Pedla Commander to give it faster response? *I have the 4th gen

how much does all this tuning cost approximately?

Awesome build, makes me want to move to the desert just to do this. so what is done to the motor? or is that some no-tell secret stuff?

Any horsepower mods? Awesome detailed video! Subbed

Awesome truck! Why do y’all have a front bumper like that? I understand it may just be a legacy item on the vehicle but it seems like a lot of weight that’s just hurting performance. Just curious, thanks! Lot of cool stuff on this thing!

Are you running a factory ECM/ECU? Also have a 4th gen myself, been following you guys for about year now. Love the content on the 4th gen.

Out of curiosity, why did you opt not to run bypasses on your suspension setup?

How many miles are on the truck ? Original engine ?

Slightly not applicable but since your doing endurance based racing, I'll try a go: on the v8 platform, what can be done to address better durability/reliability/service for the v8 Trans and 4x4 actuator? I have a deal waiting for a 2006 w v8 and 238k but I know for a fact she hasn't engaged 4x4, well ever

will you guys be at the Big Sky 200 this year?

Cool! Why 5.29 vs 4.88?

Anyone know how much this would cost to build? I gotta think that after man hours it's 100k+

7% 😶‍🌫️

enough with the mods already, just buy a jeep

What about the engine mods!? 🥹
