Bass fishing for channel cats in AZ.
A spur of the moment trip ended up being the most action packed day of catfishing we've ever had. I believe this whole cove was a spawn bed for the catfish and they were very aggressive to anything going through the water. It made for an amazing couple hours.

In this video I make a flip down tire carrier using metal from various items bought super cheap at Amazon return auctions. It's a great way to save money on buying new steel. In total I spent about $5 on the table itself, the rest was items I had laying around the garage.

3RD GEN 4RUNNER FLOPPY MIRROR REPAIR
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 11 měsíci
All three of my 3rd gen 4runners have had this same issue on the drivers side mirror. Since I haven't had any luck finding decent mirrors in the junkyard, I decided to try and fix the mirror. This was an exploratory repair and I only filmed in case it was repairable. This only took maybe an hour, but did require modifying some tools to work. The spring in the mirror is under a lot of tension, s...

This video covers making a winch mount plate for my wife's 3rd gen 4runner, and modifying the recently built bumper to mount the fairlead and recovery points. I've ran the same winch on my 4runner for a couple years now, and it's always worked great. The goal was to conceal the winch behind the bumper with no modifications to the grille shell, while also having the 31" Nilight light bar and sid...

I was hoping to be more in depth but I got carried away during the mock up and welding portion, and didn't film much. Hopefully it's enough to understand how it went together. The light bar is a 32" Nilight purchased from Amazon. I've used these for a long time now and have had great luck with them. The ditch lights are random lights off of Amazon as well. Building one from scratch is a lot of ...

In this video I'm swapping out the factory, non-adjustable sun visors. They're being replaced with 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe visors. They literally screw in, in less than 5 minutes using just a screw driver. The best part is the parts were under $20 from my local auto salvage yard.

Amazing job, looks factory.
Awesome quick fix, worked perfect. I used a C- clamp with the swivel head removed to hold the compressed spring while installing clip. thank you.
Awesome I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Just used this to fix my 97. Great job
Thanks, I'm glad it helped. The aftermarket mirrors suck and all the old stuff is breaking.
That looks awesome man! Great build!
I think I like this more than my current 2001 Limited visors that have the actual extenders in them...
That's SICK! Awesome mod, man! Got me half considering cutting up my 4runner now... haha.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video. Thank you
Thanks for the video. Just completed my mirror sway. I have to crack open the mirror and solder a few resistors together. Other then that clean install 🤙
That’s crazy definitely gonna consider this muzzle
Bro me next plz
Genius
How are this pantagonia tires treating you? I’m in the market for new wheels and tires and seen a couple people run these
Off road performance I can't complain about at all. They've done well in sand, rocks and snow. I haven't got great life out of them, usually less than 20k miles. It's not entirely a tire issue though, since the 4runner is easy to knock out of alignment on nasty trails. I've had one blow out, completely my fault as I had aired down to 15psi and made a 40 mile trip highway trip at 65mph. I think the sidewall had been compromised on that one as the others were fine. I've had one replaced due to a screw, and one due to a huge AZ thorn through the sidewall. All of those were replaced under Discount Tires road hazard warranty no questions asked. Discount seems to have discontinued carrying the Patagonia line, so my next set I plan to get the Yokohama Geolander M/T's. When new they were fairly quiet on the highway, as they wear and chunk out on trails they have become pretty loud.
@@zealousoutdoors thanks for the reply. I think I’m going with the geolanders then. I had them before
Has anyone found a link to buy this new from amazon? I Dont have a junkyard near me to salvage. or does anyone know the part number? need to find one in khaki
What size screws?
I'm not sure I used the screws that are stock for the 4runner.
youre a fucking wizard. truly master class
Unfortunately it has got too hot in AZ to give it a try with actual camping. Thanks for watching!
do you have the specs and dimensions!?
At 1:07 I show the specs on a yellow notepad. I did change the length from what is written from 15x34" to 16x34" for the main bottom section. The depths were based on my truck having a 2" body lift to keep it flush with the frame. I have done another box on a non body lifted 4runner, and it looked like it would be fine as is. Overall it's width and length is 16x34 and it's 12" deep towards the axle and 10" deep towards the bumper. I don't have measurements for wood floor, but it was all made from a 4'x4' piece of 3/4" plywood.
That’s sick man!
Nice job 🙌
Thanks for watching!
it almost makes it a similar design to the 4th gen.
Very nice and clean work! I like that you think outside the box. Very well made cargo space. I’m currently adding USB ports to my 3rd gen 4Runner. As I finished the rear seat USB outlets yesterday and going to finish the cargo area today I noticed you have them in your video. Very handy in off roading/overlanding. I have a homemade spare tire carrier and bumpers also. My similar compressor is installed behind the front bumper with the tank in the old spare tire area. Thanks for the video. It’s giving me something to think about.
I've been thinking of mounting the compressor in the rear box and running an air fitting to the outside, using the 2nd battery power posts that are already in that corner. The only thing stopping me so far is that the 2nd battery runs off an isolator and I can hear the compressor motor speed up and slow down as the isolator cycles. Because of that I usually have it hooked directly to the main battery. I'm sure it'll be fine it just sounds funny. The usb ports are also off the 2nd battery and control the interior lights I mounted in the rear. It's really handy for charging all my stuff while not needing the truck to be powered on. I have plans to do the CS144 alternator upgrade which would probably help with the high amp draw of the compressor. With the 200w solar I have up on the roof I can have the fridge on 24/7 and the batteries are always good to go. I appreciate you watching!
The work you’ve done is awesome. Hope you consider the inside noise if you install it inside. I immediately thought about when I saw your compressor. The noise these compressors make is insanely loud though. I’ve gone through 2 compressors already and if I burn this out I’ll get two smaller quieter ones and install them inside the driver’s rear quarter panel to try and protect them from the elements. Switching the compressor on fills the tank and gives a burst of air on the first tire which really helps. My other 4Runner is a 1st get running front and rear winches off the original alternator. Hope I didn’t just jinx myself with that comment. That one has an awesome air system. I’ll do a quick video on it and post it.
Oh yeah I'm sure it would be loud. I use to build bagged minitrucks and the compressor was loud and would run a lot. I only really air down a couple times a year so it probably wouldn't bother me too bad on the 4runner. I'll keep an eye out for your 1st gen video. I love old Toyotas, the oldest I've had was a 73 HIlux. I'd love a 84-85 4runner but the straight axle trucks demand some money.
Can I pay you too do this too mine?
I've done a couple for other people so far but at the moment I don't have the time and space. Thanks for watching!
Hey, i know it may be asking a lot but do you by chance have a parts list on what all is required to do the swap? looking into doing this myself and want to know what i'm getting myself into😆
I don't have like part numbers since I bought most of the parts from a local sheetmetal supplier. It's basically 01-04 core support, fenders, hood, hood hinges, hood latch, hood latch support, grille, headlights, side marker lights, grille filler under headlights. I had to find the marker light clips on amazon as they didn't come with the new fenders. The new grille came with the clips to mount it. I want to say all in it cost about $800 in parts. I have the steel bumper so I didn't need to find a factory style. I tried to find a complete donor truck with no luck so I went aftermarket on almost everything. I also had to work the a/c lines and dryer to fit, but all the stock 4runner parts where able to be used. I hope this helps. It's a fun mod that gets a lot of compliments on trail runs.
@@zealousoutdoorsThats awesome, thanks so much for the info. i cant wait to get started. hopefully if i remember i can give more info on for the next person that wants to do the swap too :)
I prefer the 4runner front end but that being said you did great and it looks awesome! Nice work!
Good comparison. Bad muzzle awareness and safety. Sticking your face and hands on the wrong end of the muzzle is bad news.
You are 100% correct. Thanks for watching!
All your mods are well thought out. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

TacoRunner
I just picked up some parts for another third gen I bought, and that guy has a 03 tacoma that he 4runner swapped. 😂
That’s the 6th gen yall That thing is literally a taco suv idk what Toyota was thinking by giving them similar front grill designs
I have a 2000 I bought new in Oct. 99. I love it more than anything. I want to do this mod. It's friggin' awesome!!!!!
How easy would it be to mount this to the original mount? In case I wanted not to have anything stuck to the windshield to use my full windshield sun shade and be able to keep it darker to sleep in
It would have to be custom mounted for sure. I don't have a stock mirror around anymore to reference. Thanks for watching!
Nice video , love the rigs
Thanks for watching!
Not sure where you’re located but if you’re in Florida I’d pay you to do this to mine!
😂this is one of projects .. i wish someone Offer as a service... like take my money and 4runner
This is awesome! Looks great.
Thanks for watching!
sure looks like alot of fun!
this is QUALITY Craftsmanship. IMPRESSIVE.
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Good work brother
Thanks for watching!
Super cool!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
weird question maybe but did you come through north FL a couple years ago by chance?
I have not, the closest I've been able to make it to Florida is the northwest corner of Georgia. It's the only southern state I haven't been able to get to so far.
You did a nice fabrication. At first, I thought you were just going to cut a big hole, & end up with a big hole. Very nice job! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Totally different truck 😮
Shows the importance of entry/exit clearances. Nice work
All the extra gear on the rear really hurts the exit for sure! Thanks for watching!
That first drop looked pretty scary! Yikes.
i have been thinking about the same swap for my 97 limited runner . i seen it done with pre 2001 tacoma`s. i`m thinking it would be a great match for my 01 TRD and my 02 TRD double cab. thank you for the great inspiration. best looking front ends EVER !!!!! IMOP 😛
I also thing it was the best frontend they made! I would love a double cab with a normal length bed. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! The front end on my 96 4Runner got banged up after I hydroplaned into a wall… I’ve been wanting to do a mod like this since the radiator core support, fenders, and hood need to be replaced anyway. Gotta bend some stuff back into place first 😅
Sounds like a great time to do it! I have another 3rd gen that we t-boned a f-350 with when a drunk driver ran a stop sign. I had planned to move my original parts over to it, but found a nice donor 4runner that is going to be getting its drivetrain.
@@zealousoutdoors hell yeah, can never have enough of these
Nice job , which tire carrier u got
I made it from random steel I had laying around. Thanks for watching!
Thx for the reply, I like the stuff u done to your 3rd gen, particularly the rear storage bin
The storage has really proven handy. Since I made the video I actually split the lid into roughly 2/3 and 1/3 sections. My fridge covers the 1/3 and is strapped in, so having the other 2/3 side still accessible is really nice.
Looks good
Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Maybe one day I'll get comfortable tearing things apart. Until then, I gotta live with my 02' fat lip bumper. 😢 Cheers!
Thanks, and thank you for watching!
Big front bumper has too much "overbite" and will get hung up on approach angles.
The bumper sticks out slightly more than the factory 96-98 bumper, and a little less than the fat lip 99-02. I don't rock crawl and have only had one incident where the bumper hit before the tires started going up. I use this truck to get me out to hunting areas, where I park and hike in. If I did more extreme trails, I would lose the winch and make something with a higher approach angle. Thanks for watching!
@@zealousoutdoors oh ok. sounds good! be safe and have fun!
I am a novice when it comes to repairs like this. I was tired of my floppy mirror that would swing around. I watched your video and I was able to do the repair! Thanks for the tutorial.
I'm glad it was able to help you!
