I was never a fan of this channel purely because the builds required way too much money to do, they weren't relatable. It is nice to see these builds although being an entire channel/shop revolved around these is hard to watch over and over. BUT this video alone about Stage 1 was extremely relatable with the preventative maintenance and replacements. Not exactly how-to's but a great laundry list of things people at home can do to keep their rigs running, especially great Toyotas. I look forward to seeing Stage 2 and similar video-content in the future because I legitimately think you guys are on the right track to broaden the channel's content for variety to attract more viewers!

New here and subscribed after watching this video and couldn’t agree more. It’s content like this progressive build I enjoy. Could I possibly responsibly afford an all out build yes do I or the average weekend warrior need it no. It’s builds like these that point out key points where anyone can say yes that’ll be my stoping point or what are other options at these point to fit me.

Most people in this economic climate will not be buying new vehicles, due to the astronomical expense. This build makes perfect sense for the majority of enthusiasts with an older; but, legendary Toyota! This is probably why I subscribed! I do give some credit to Last Line of Defense! He also does great builds! Thank you all! Take good care!

No lower ball joints? Maybe I missed it. For those of you who don’t know, the ball joints fail catastrophically on these trucks, it’s very important to check them for play on a regular basis and replace them with OEM LBJ’s ONLY on an as needed basis.
@janpur14172 жыл бұрын
I got a 97 4x4 4R: Good build! Please install OEM lower ball joints and a radiator (Denso works fine) to avoid pink milkshake. Install OEM alternator brush kit and starter contacts into the existing alternator/Starter. A/M parts FAIL! Install the A/C idler bearing 6203 (avoid A/M), had the 4R since 2009 and it is in pristine condition. Did all OEM bushings all around. I have 2 drive shaft in my shopping basket for my 100 LC and after seeing you do the shaft, I now want to purchase those shafts for LC as it is my long distance vehicle. Any A/M Cv's are junk! (the inboard splines wear out in less than 15K miles). Best would be to reboot the OEM CV's. Keep an extra ignition coil pack, 2-3 fuel injectors. TPS. If you plan to do the rear axle bearings/selas pelase follow TIM's video on KZfaq (pay attention to the Sharpie test on ABS tone ring retainer: if didn't mount properly, oil will leak again) Good Luck!

Something to consider for future projects . Any bushing or suspension thru bolt should be torqued with the full weight of the vehicle , wheels and tires on the ground or a four poster drive on hoist. It's not always easy to do, but doing it with the full weight of the vehicle will prevent the bushings from twisting which eventually leads to cracks and failure .

I think it severely missed the budget part of the budget build. They were already 8 grand into it not counting the cost of vehicle and engine repair cost, and the only overland parts that were installed was diff bushings and a 4 grand ICON set. Which is the opposite of budget suspension
@scubbarookie Жыл бұрын
If you consider how this 3rd gen is being built, it is a good step in the right direction. Mainly, because it is a Pan-American expedition build. The budget is in the consideration of the long haul; eventually an ultimate build, for Overlanding. The suspension seems to be one of the biggest expenses, if your a serious enthusiast! I'm just glad to see this build finally! Lol. Take good care out there!

this is a very cool series, now i don't think id call it a budget build, as some things you could do differently to achieve the same goal, but none the less a great start. Id also like to say for people who like to work on their own or trail repair, when doing most of this not the tools and what your doing, i love have my own quick guide to stuff ive already done to help get it done, and its also a great way to know what minimal tools to carry.. I cant wait to start my Pan America build if i don't take my ADV. and again great job
