Up till recently our main focus was building up our ’07 FJ Cruiser. It’s now to the point where it’s an incredibly capable overland/ offroad rig so now we’re directing our attention to our brand new 4Runner TRD Offroad.

We’re by no means experts; in fact we’re fairly new at this whole modification thing. To make up for our inexperience we do tons of research on products, parts, and materials before installing them on our rigs. Occasionally we make mistakes, of which we never try to hide; in fact those instances make for great video content. :)

We welcome your comments, suggestions, and experiences. After all, that’s one of the best ways to learn about this stuff.

In this thread we’ll be posting videos we produce showing in detail our build’s progression. In the coming few months we’ll be doing this;

Steel front bumper with winch and lightbar. (Doing that on Black Friday.)

3” Toytec Boss lift with 285-70-17 tires.

Steel rear bumper with dual swing-outs.

Complete air compressor system including tank.

Stay tuned for much more to come in the following year!

It was a long time in the making, but it's finally done and uploaded to our Youtube channel!

Our long awaited Relay/ Fuse Panel video took a ton of research and planning to produce, we think it was worth it though. Now all our electrical add-ons will be operated safely and reliably.

We hope you enjoy it and gain some insight and inspiration to build your own!

In this episode we raise our rear differential vent, or breather, up to avoid water from getting in during river crossings. Often called the Scuba Mod, this is one of the best DIY modifications you can do to your Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, or FJ Cruiser, and one of the least expensive. It has the potential of saving you $$$$$ in repairs.

The other day we replaced all our interior lights with LEDs. The difference is astounding!

(HID Kit Pros, around $70)

Here's a video we put together of the install. We hope it helps you with yours;
