2006 Toyota 4Runner Sport Edition 4.7L V8
I explain 4x4 settings, lift, tires, & do some donuts:)
'06 Silver T4R Sport Edition 4.7L V8 4x4 - Old Man Emu - Front: 885/NC Sport Shocks, Rear: 895/NC Sport Shocks - Diff Drop - BFG All Terrain KO2 in 275/70r17

"ruining my gas mileage but I don't care". Yep that's me too. ;)
When you engage center diff lock, it's doing a little more than you think. Here's a summary of all the electronic aids.
ABS - We all know what this does. Pulses the brakes on the corners with lowest traction to keep all tires turning (to prevent lockup and allow some steering control during panic braking).
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) detects when yaw rotation rate doesn't match what it should be for the current speed and steering angle, and uses ABS system to apply brakes to individual wheels to try to prevent excessive oversteer/understeer. (e.g. if oversteering left, it brakes tires on right, and vise versa). Works both while accelerating and braking.
Traction control - Cuts the throttle when it detects one or more wheels spinning faster than any other.
ATRAC - applies brakes to individual wheels that are spinning faster than the one on the opposite side of the open front or rear diff, transferring power from the tire that is spinning (presumably without traction to the tire that has grip).
Normally all these aids are on at once, and if you get any asymmetrical wheelspin, the first thing you notice is traction control cutting power. If you manage to spin all four tires at once (fooling traction control), and then get the vehicle to rotate without a steering input to match, then VSC will kick in to prevent oversteer, understeer. But then as soon as it activates and brakes at one or more corners, traction control will also cut the throttle, killing all the fun. This is why people often associate VSC with traction control, but they really have two different goals.
Locking the center diff, disables VSC and Traction control, but leaves ABS and ATRAC enabled.
This makes it possible to drift in snow, and for ATRAC to do its job while crawling offroad (otherwise it fights with traction control). If you do continuous tight donuts in the snow in 1st or 2nd gear, eventually there will be enough difference in speed between one of the tires on the left and right (due to open front/rear diffs), that ATRAC will kick in, but it doesn't really stop the fun. ATRAC works best for crawling in 4LO where the highest torque can be transferred through each diff to the high traction side, during the brief moments that ATRAC is braking the spinning low traction side.
It's possible to fool it into disabling VSC and Traction control by simply turning on the circuit that also turns on center diff lock light, and there are threads detailing ways to do that. Because the center diff in the full time AWD system (used in the V8) has a bit of a rear bias (I've heard 40/60 or 35/65 f/r), disabling VSC and traction control while keeping the center diff unlocked has some handling benefits, although it's a bit more noticeable during high speed dirt road driving rather than in snow where you're more likely to just be spinning all four at once.
Greatest thing I ever purchased on 2005 and still killin it. worth every cent
@ J_mosk I bought a 2007 Toyota 4runner limited 4.7 V8 almost identical to this one I put the same exact tires on mine although I don't have the lift. You inspired me to get one of these. Needless to say I cant wait for a snowstorm here in Pa :)
TheSteelcitysfinest congrats on the new truck! How many miles on it? You got the KO2’s in 275/70r17? Do the tires rub without the lift? Mine were rubbing with the lift but it was an easy fix. What are you plans for future mods?
Hey thanks a lot. I got it with 190000 on it got it for 6 grand. The body is in excellent shape. The tires are 265 60 18. No rubbing. However the rear end feels a little suspect when riding over bumps. I’m going to get a remote starter for it for now but nothing else I can think of. Looking forward to more of your videos. I’m going to try to make one if we get some heavy snow though
I bought an 06 4Runner a few months ago, It only has around 65,000 miles right now. It's a Sport Ed and I put Biltsteins on it. I bought Blizzaks tonight online to keep it safe this winter.Of course, it has 4WD, but it's the 6
How do you like it so far?
I’m really enjoying it. I had a Legacy and that was great all year round , but I wanted an extremely reliable SUV, so when I saw this low mileage I took it. The Blizzaks are an amazing tire. The grip and stability I’m really enjoying.
If your thinking about the truck or the tires , you will not go wrong either way. Btw, maintenance such as oil changed , plugs etc on this truck is so easy and simple.
I have a v6 too…driven both engines, v6 is almost as capable. But oh my it’s so nice to tow stuff in a v8.
Center diff lock only send 50/50 power to front and rear axle. It does not lock all 4 wheels like a real locker does.
It is a real locker, just a center lock that will make sure theres 50/50 torque going to front and back, in-order to achieve 25% each wheel all the time, one will need a front, center and rear.
@@davidlcb Mercedes Gwagen has front center and rear. Too bad those badass trucks are wasted on Rich idiots and hollywood degererates
you sounded like you were thoroughly enjoying yourself. lol
👍
great vid.
have one exactly like this one sr5,took it on snowffroad yesterday OH MY its a monster it ploughed like no problem LOVE the 4runner
Love mine. these things are beasts in the snow... good vid..
4 year old awesome video. Thx for sharing.
i sent my dad who has the same truck this clip....i have the 2014 version...definitely getting the ko2 !!!..gd video man enjoy
Dope video!! I got the Ko2's on my 95' SR5. They slip a little bit but a killer in this blizzard
You sir, ran like four stop signs! Lol
Lmfao 😂😂😂
FiresprayXL i
I have a 2004 Limited V8 running Big O Bigfoot AT right now, when these are done I am def going to the new KO2! Nice rig!
I love it!! By the way, just subscribed 😊
I have a sr5 v6
Hell yeah with the Phish sticker!
Always representing! The 4Runner will be on tour this summer!
Was that Apex Technical school parking lot? Nice 4runnner!
It’s too bad they eliminated the v8
for your 3in lift did install new uca's or did you get the correct alignment with the stock ones?
Chingy Thao First I ran the lift without aftermarket UCAs at first but could not get my alignment/camber correct. It was wearing my tires unevenly. Now I have Camburg UCAs and everything is perfect.
You got so distracted you never went up the hill in 4Lo.
Question
When I activate the 4 wheel drive system, a yellow light with an x appears in the lower right hand corner of my dashboard, is this normal? Or is the light supposed to be green?
V8s are AWD?
Luiz Paulo Mederos yes
Luiz Paulo Mederos 4WD.
NO...Some V8's are not AWD...You can get both...2WD or 4WD...
*starts driving north*
Nice vid. Just curious but do all the SportEditions Come with XREAS? I have a 2004 v8 Limited W/XREAS. Can i do a suspension lift with Xreas or do i have to delete it? Thanks
u can do it...
Tamayo1980 all sport editions do indeed come with xreas. I did an entire xreas delete. Took out all xreas shocks, springs, plumbing, & reservoirs.
😲 woah, your 4runner looks great, hmm I thought the 2002 4runner (last 3rd gen year) was a good car for my freshmen year of Highschool, I might have to reconsider buying a 2006, but I assume they are $$$. Probs like 15 grand maybe?
Hammad Ali 3rd gen is great. 4th gens you can find under 10k easily. Be patient when searching, look for one owner, taken care of, maintenance records, car fax if possible.
What type of offset are you wheels and or do you run any type of spacer on them?
Stock Sport Edition wheels with Spidertrax 1.25in spacers.
How'd you get around the xreas when you did your lift?
Myrdoc I took out all the xreas shocks, springs, plumbing, & reservoirs.
Hello sir, I have another question please. In this video do u have ur 1.25 spacers on ?
Thank you
E . S . yes on the front I have the spacers that come with Old Man Emu kit from Toytec Lifts
j_mosk
Im sorry got me wrong. I meant the wheels spacers , the spider s one
Thank u.
Yes I have Spidertrax 1.25in wheel spacers at all four corners. Really like them, no issues at all.
j_mosk
I wana really thank u for ur help. 🙏🏻
do you have a aftermarket exhaust +j_mosk
I don't but have thought about getting one. The stock exhaust is really quiet.
alright sounds nice
i want a 4runner so badly but am struggling to find a used 4x4 one around my price range :(. Dont think its worth buying a 2wd 4runner, no fun.
look at a zuki xl7, its around the same size and its a fraction of the cost, granted its not as good as a 4runner. just bought mine for 2100$ with 150 000km
Are there any 4th gen V8 4runners offered with 2WD?
ficklecycler yeah, sadly they did make 2wd 4runners, and V8 could be 2wd in certain configurations 😂😂😂
unfortunately i have a 2Runner :( cant wait to get an actual 4Runner very soon
ficklecycler yes my mom has a 2009 V8 4runner 2wd.
Deep snow?
How many miles you got???
Seattle808 just over 130,000 now
Clean!!!!! Just a baby with still only 130,000!!! :)
Seattle808 yeah she's running strong. Love these trucks. Super reliable. No major maintenance items.
I just swooped up a 2008 sr5 with only 88k V8 of course haha ;) I did my first upgrade, got Cooper st Maxx's these thing are unstoppable in the snow!!!
Seattle808 Seattle808 nice...Congrats! Wow only 88k...great find. Really good in the snow. I've never had any problems. Can get through pretty much anything with the center e-locker engaged.
Could you please do your videos without the swearing so my kids can watch too.
John Donaldson Honestly didn’t even realize & it never crossed my mind that people might watch with children. But I do understand & will try my best next time :)
What?
Great vid, but it annoyed me how you kept blowing the stop signs in the parking lot. Traffic laws apply in parking lots and an officer CAN ticket you for running them. The whole "traffic laws don't apply on Punic property" thing, applies to ranches, and residents, stuff like that. But parking lots, gated communities, etc, you can still get a ticket. But great vid 👍🏻
Meant Public property*
Stop signs are just suggestions...
false
Fruitloop.
Its_Ya_Boi120 look at Johnny law over here! Lol.
Call it a fucking truck again -.-
Want to sell it? 🤣🤣
Don't watch this with your kids around. The guy keeps swearing for free.
Deniza Constantinescu i know so unnecessary.
lol i didn't even notice.
That's the real-world. Get over it.
Deniza Constantinescu stop by my pawn shop between 8 am and 9pm Monday-Saturday to shop the best used junk
Oh calm down
