Lockers and lower tire pressures and use 4Lo

Dude with the Blue 4runner: if you used your emergency brake a little bit when you're starting to spin the rear tires, it makes the rear axle be more of a limited slip, because the axle cannot freely spin the tire with the least weight on it. It forces the rear end to rotate at the same speed and torque.

Use 4low second gear. It gives you the same power as first, but with more speed. That way your momentum will pull you up that hill. I would know.. I drive a 1993 4Runner, and I can climb hills 4x the size of that..

Nice Toyotas! Before you take the time to do a SAS, you guys need to do yourselves a favor and buy rear Aussie lockers. It will be the best $300 you ever spend on your rig. I had a 1994 pickup for about a decade that was all done up. The best thing I ever did was 4.88 third members from a 3rd gen 4runner and a rear Aussie locker. The Aussie locker totally transformed it off-road. I was doing stuff in 2 hi that I use to struggle to do in 4 low. Made the pickup a beast. That being said, I sold the pickup and bought a minty fzj80. Loved my built ifs pickup, but the 80 is just baller all around.

The solid axle made all the difference 👌🏻👍🏻

12:57 Land Cruiser Rules Great Crawling!!!

Bro. I second that. Lower the pressure by at least 20 PSI and go 4lo

Nice job guys. Looked like fun. I just recently converted my a/c from 12 to 134. 1989 first generation runner. I like my 3 slow, actually runs well with the manual trans. I rebuilt the motor last year.

The land cruiser is the top tier and will not be beaten. Not an opinion. Just straight facts

Great Video. Thanks for making it. Good to see the difference between the 4Runner and the Land Cruiser

LC 80 series for the win. HDJ81 owner here. Thanks for posting.

So good! Catching up on the rest of your vides... right... now!

Man my old 85 solid axle 22re would of made light work of that bump.

great vid Overland...cant wait to get my rig in this mix. :)

Very entertaining to watch! More vids like this 👊🏽 If you all are ever in SATX, I have a 04 Tacoma i can throw into the mix

landcrusier if its triple locked with a solid axle, thats gonna be hard to beat with no lockers an ifs lol :D great video i have a 2000 xj im gonna go against in my 93 3.4 swapped manual lol

Awesome job fellas, diggin the Toyotas

That second guy in the 4 runner is REALLY lucky he didn’t snap one of his fronts..

Diff lockers are the No1 mod every off-road truck must have... everything else comes next.

Great vid guys. If that is the mud pit in McAllen, I climbed that hill in an '83 FJ60 Land Cruiser on the first try. It is actually steep and somewhat tecnical because it has a slight turn and is conducive to tire spin. Good challenge

DOPE VIDEO AS USUAL!!!

What a great video bro, you guys are doing great. Keep on uploading such videos

Yessss I have a 92 3.0 I just got a new engine installed she’s a exp extra cab;)

Love ur video guys did a good job & honestly 💯 percent Land Crusier 👍🏻👍🏻

I have a 95 4runner with front and rear Detroit lockers and 5.29 gears ⚙️, all pro off road lift with front axle swap. Hasn’t been driven since March of Last year and my goal is to get her back and on the road to be able to go out and offroad with her. Last mechanic messed up and didn’t put enough oil in the read differential after putting new gears in. 12/17/2019 12:12AM

The J80 is such an unassuming beast of a 4x4.

Love all truck but toyota land cruiser .takes the cake keep the videos coming .

When you don’t have lockers in the south we do the “snatch second and let it eat”

Great video dude!

I've got a 1990 pickup with the 3.0 and 33s 4.56 gearing, rear locker, cut the back bumper off 6" for better departure angle. And honestly if these rigs had rear lockers itd make a huge difference. Sick pickup though with the 3.4. When my 3.0 gives up(its got 330k, but with plenty of life left) that's what I want to do.

Bumping Calibre 50 @ 11:26 nice!

Cool video. 4low. 1st to revy 2nd revy. Woulda made it over every time. Lol and throw lockers and straight axle. Makes a big difference

This is sick and I haven’t watched it yet!!!

Land cruiser is the shit! Too bad about Jonathan’s rig, but you guys are handy with the wrench. All good.

Please make more videos of landcruiser 80 and 100

Have 95 V6 toyota 4x4 no ac, replaced o rings on ac compressor and hoses.Now it pumps cold.Chill and Thrill

Of course the 80 series got it!! Great video!

For that type of terrain a rear locker will absolutely put you in a different league, no other upgrade even compares, not tires, not links, not engine. Put a lunchbox in and you'll tank right up that hill.

That advertisement was boss!!! Popped that shirt open!!!! Haha

If you were close by I would bring my stock 85 pickup beast to the party.

I had a wicked flow it also made my 4.0 xj sound like a Honda. Didn’t keep in on for long for obvious reasons.

In Australia the pickup known as the “hilux” didn’t go to independent suspension until 1997

If I was there I would air down then try 4lo 1st to 2nd to gain momentum.

bahahahaha that commercial was awesome!

Rad! The Cruiser crushed. I do think that the IFS rigs would have zero issues if they have a rear locker. Lockers make all the difference..

You guys are pretty much the only page that makes 2nd gen 4Runner videos. Do you guys know of any after market headlights that fit? Not the bulbs, the actual headlights

10:24 That thing sounds gnarly!

Just drove my latest purchase a 95 80 series multivalve Cruiser home.Toyota rules in Pakistan.Toyota no.1!

Great video 👍 Landcruiser is the Best ! I owned FJ40, FZJ80, FJ CRUISER, & 96 4Runner. 4Runner is the best of my Daily rides.

Those lockers man!

When you see the LC climbing up that hill so effortlessly you will understand why it's Toyota's most expensive SUV. I've had obnoxious 4runner owners tell me that their 4runner is just as good as an LC 🤣

Dude so sick!

All those 3 are Legends

Hit like before I even saw the video. Anything Toyota 4x4 is a must like

My GX on street tires could slowly crawl up that hill. Meanwhile off road tires, lift, and giving the gas, these trucks have a hard time 😂

I have same 2nd Gen as Jonathan, getting an order together from 4crawler, anything else I need for your lift besides the BJ Spacers and coil spacers? Panhard bracket or did you modify yours? Shocks and alignment ?

Solid axles are favorites on any type road

More challenges super entertaining

A locker in the rear axle, lower tire pressure and low range would have had any vehicle up that obstacle the first time like the LC. Do the 4 runners still have the rear sway bars connected? Another 4” of articulation if you take them off.

Thanks for the video, so you guys don't lower the psi in your tyres???

I got a toyota 4runner 1999 lifted 6 inches with 2 inch spacers and locks in both axles and a lock in the transmission 4x4 manual

Digging the T-shirts, bro.

SAS or lockers. My 90’ with a blazeland long travel had 13in wheel travel which is great for a ifs rig but the rear diff lock and tru trac up front made it what it is today

Loved the video. I was also gonna ask. After I change the tie rods on my 94 4runner. What modifications do you recommend I do?

I feel like a "lift" is negative physics up a hill. I've seen lower AwDs do better

On the pick up, can you put a link to the kit you used for the front and back suspension. Did you do long travel on both?

Toyota really needs to go back to their roots to solid axle in their pickups and cruisers here in the U.S. awesome and fun video.

I noticed what appeared to be a connected swaybar on one of the 4runners. That definitely didn't help any.

how did that roof rack help you get over the obstacle? Rear locker, rear locker, rear locker. and lower the air pressure so it doesn't ride like a tank.

I love the car seat in back Lol

Nice video! Where did yall film this?

So did I notice that Isaac has a USMC tattoo? Im guessing Dave is x military too?👍👍👍

Looks like you were about the hit the highway with that much pressure. “First Yota I am referring to”

Little wheel speed fellas.

Loved the video. Do you sell those 3.slow shirts.

Love your work ❤ I've recently purchased a 95 4runner. It has been showing AT Oil temp light recently and overheating during hills on highway. Any speculations anybody?

Over 100k views with no thirst traps besides the Land Cruiser. Well done, gents!

thank you guys ! Very instructive ! nevertheless, now I don't know if I still want a 4runner over a Land Cruiser ^^

I need to take my gx there asap

what's better / more bang for buck 4 runner,hikux,land cruiser?

Question can the sunroof on the 2nd gen pop up?? Mines one only can slide open but I have not found the button to just pop up the sunroof

Might want to try airing down your tires. It makes a world of difference.

Think the fj made it up easily cuz there’s more weight on each tire of least resistance. Great size to weight ratio. Nothing a good expensive locker couldn’t take care of.

I'm really looking in to upgrading my 1990 Toyota Pickup. Has anyone of you all tried running 35"s? Would you go for the SAS or are you happy with the Total Chaos iFS long arm kit and King Shocks?

Awesome video bro! 👍👊 Did that landcruiser have lockers on it? The 4runner and pickup needs locker and diesel swaps!!! I have a 2010 tacoma with a 6 inch lift, solid axle, lockers and a D4-D diesel swap, I can make it anywhere!!! 👍👊

Buen video 👌

Got a 89 4runner love toyota

4:59 how much was the exhaust?

The ac is sucking when you stop cause the little electric fan on the front side of the rad took a crap. Same happened to my 2nd gen.

Land cruiser is a beast!!

Love seeing that landcruiser eat that hill I have a 2000 landcruiser myself

Sick I have a 1987 Toyota pickup bought it for $700 best little truck ever 22r is a trooper

Im gonna need a 3.slow gang iron on patch for my headliner. Make it happen

Lower tire pressures and lockers. Maybe 4Low too since those ancient engines have NO power

Just subscribed to your channel. So were you guys from in tx .im from RGV

20 years ago I hated Landcruiser, Now I freaking love them.

You should have had a 22re in the line up (i know its 3.slow gang don’t hurt me)

12:51 that’s why i prefer an auto over a manual !

Just found your video on KZfaq wanted to ask you guys some questions. I just got a 1995 4Runner SR5 can I convert a 2WD to a 4WD using OEM Toyota transmission, transfer case,and 4WD complete front end ? If I can could you guys post me a list of things I would need ? Or send me to a site that would be able to help ? This is my first 4runner and don't have a lot of cash that is why I am trying to use OEM parts out of junk yard. If you wondering why didn't get a 4WD one I got this truck for $100 running and in good mechanical condition.

Everyone is buying those fj80’s. Looks good. Looks good. I wouldn’t have got those progressive springs I think that’s what they’re called. Not so great on wash board trails/roads
