- This video is a glimpse into what Hollister Hills SVRA has to offer. We had a good group of 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runners, a Toyota Land Cruiser & a Toyota Tundra in our line up. There was some nice rock crawlers there that we got a couple clips of we show in the beginning. This video has some raw footage & some videography sections. We hope you enjoy the show!

Yup, it took a Land Cruiser to pull that 4-Wunner off the rocks! ONLY KIDDING, I love all things Toyota. '96 Tacoma 4wd 2.7 as my daily and an '06 100 series fully built (minus front locker, soon enough). Seriously though Thank You Tim for all the videos. My 100 series only needed to be baselined but my Tacoma (350k) pretty much needed a full front end bushing/rebuild/etc. Your videos and tips have been great. I always follow your Amazon links in an attempt to give you some love there. Cheers!!
Your'e welcome Randy. Good to hear you've been getting some use out of our videos.
Thanks for using our links Randy. We never knew Amazon had a program that shares the wealth. Before we found out about the Amazon Associate program, we were already linking things we bought via Amazon so people could get the same tools or parts we used for the job. I'd say I've purchased 95% of the tools I've invested in during the time we've been running this channel from Amazon. I let the reviews lead me to the purchases I make. If the tool gets really good reviews, I'll usually go for it and I'd have to say I'm been very satisfied with my purchases. I use to just link the the tools I think most people wouldn't have available in their toolbox but recently decided to link all the tools we use throughout a video because somebody watching might just be starting out and doesn't own many tools at all. Pretty much all the tools that I've linked are the same tools I've purchased for myself. There is occasion I've linked a tool I don't own and that's when it's the case that the particular tool I bought isn't available anymore and then I seek out another tool that's very similar that also gets really good reviews. What's good about the Amazon Associate program is it's not making the product any more expensive to purchase. The only difference now is Amazon is giving us a small cut which I think is pretty cool and pretty smart on Amazon's part.
Lots of cool rigs! Great video, can’t wait to attend something like this 🤘🏻
One day events like this can be lots of fun. What we have found though when going on multiple day wheeling camping trips, a much smaller group is better logistically. Keeping track of everyone and sticking together is really hard with a big group and everything slows down. With more rigs theirs also more chance someone will break down, and then things slow wayyyy down.
No doubt about that, 3-4 rigs is great to on a multiple day adventure for sure.
... After the 2 first defeated custom buggies at the beginning of the clip, i was expecting Timma to jump in with his 3rd gen and show them how is done!!🤭😜 .
Great video BTW. Loved the drone footage. Thank you for everything you have done for the 3rd gen community Timmy.🙏
That would have been cool if it played out that way. That first obstacle seemed pretty hard. The concrete pipes are hard to gain traction on and you needed a lot of clearance. Those guys where slamming and scraping the shit out of their rigs. With what the bodies looked like, those rigs have been wheeled pretty hard. I guess for me with my 85 4runner is I want to do challenging trails but I doubt I'm going to be the guy who sees really hard obstacles, like an alternate route, and tries to negotiate it even though I believe there a very good chance I'll sustain body damage. Sure, if there's only one way through a section of trail and I sustain body damage getting through, that's one thing. But, if you're on a trail, and one route is super gnarly with a high chance of sustaining damage and there's another route that's easier, I'll most likely choose the easier route. The goal with my rig is to do challenging trails and have fun in the back country but not look for the hardest lines everywhere I go because ultimately that means you roll your rig and mash it up so bad that maybe you can't even fit a windshield in it anymore. Then it becomes a trailered vehicle and I don't know if I'd want something like that because I really don't have the room for a vehicle trailer and then have to buy a truck strong enough to pull it to places.
Great video. Would have loved to been there with all those Toyota’s. I have a FJ and my son has a 3rd gen. We are starting to build them up and watching your videos helps big time.
That's cool you're doing this with your son. I think teaching kids how to wrench is falling by the wayside. Lots of young firefighters that I have helped train over the years know zero about auto mechanics. You're a good dad. Good to hear you guys are putting our videos to good use. Happy Wrenching!
8:25 Ayyy my poor choice of line made the cut haha! Video came out great man, was a fun day!
Matthew Hennes glad you liked it! We tried to get footage of everyone but it’s hard to drive & film at the same time
i didnt see anything wrong with the line?
The slow mo tire spinning shots are awesome
You made Sean happy with this comment.
love it! I have a 3rd gen runner and an 86 pickup best of both worlds.
Hell yeah brother! We have watched your channel many times! Love the content.
@@TimmyTheToolman Well that's rad. Thanks.
Looks like it was good fun!
Sean S twas’ !!!

It was all Sean. Looked like a fun day.
@@TimmyTheToolman well thank you sean for the awesome video bro
3rd gens for the Win!
Robert Thomas 3rd gen is the best gen
Dam good shit
We're glad you approve.
Hi Tim, I've never seen that you've done a video on removing the front sway bar for more offroad travel. Wonder what your thoughts are on that, and if you've done it, does it make the truck feel weird on the road without it..??
It's ok to disconnect the sway bar at the end links for better wheel travel while off-roading but it's smart to reconnect it before getting back on the road. The sway bar is important to help maintain control of your rig. Some guys completely delete their sway bars but I don't think it's a good idea.
@@TimmyTheToolman Thanks, I'm gonna try it and will let you know how I feel abt it.
@@W7DSY Ok. I recommend you start off by taking corners slower than you usually do. You will get more body roll without the sway bar and I'd hate to hear that your report back is you lost control of your truck and wrecked it.
@@TimmyTheToolman You read my mind. Besides, I likely won't take it loose until I'm ready to go offroad.
Hey! was wondering what size wheels/tires these 4runners are running? Just got mine on a 3" lift with 16x8 wheels and 33" tires. wanted to see how I can fit 35" possibly. I live about 30min from hollister svra and will be going soon once the smoke clears up and the heat goes away lol
All these rigs had 33’s. 35’s will require some trimming.
@@TimmyTheToolman PERFECT! just what I wanted to hear haha Hope to see y'all out at hollister this fall!
Have any idea who makes the amber and clear light combo?
Justin Robertson IT is probably an extreme LED light bar
Lot of 4Runners! Some aren't running any skid plates. Many only the stock one. Is that normal? I'm not brave enough to go without them.
Much smarter to have at the very least the stock skid plates. Thicker aftermarket skids would be even better to protect vital components like your engine oil pan, transmission and transfer case. Other things to think about protecting are your fuel tank because it hangs fairly low on the driver side, your rear differential is another one, and your rear control arm frame mounts are yet another thing to protect.
Very cool, glad I watched! More inspiration to finish the 3" lift on my '99, but it's 32 degrees outside and I've got a cold! :(
Take care of yourself Jaime. The mountains aren't going anywhere.
@@TimmyTheToolman Thanks man. I'm not planning on getting it done in the next week or so, unfortunately. I live in Idaho, so hoping to be seeing some snow soon!
@@jaimechriswisser4281 I've been to Idaho for a mtn biking and camping trip. I rode in Ketchum, Galena and Stanley. Got a freaking speeding ticket in Ketchum driving 27mph. There's sections in the town that are 20 mph. It was 8pm and nobody was on the road. Cop was a dick. I usually support law enforcement but not when it's obvious they're preying on out of state drivers.
Tim, is there any way to improve the 3rd gen V6 performance besides installing a supercharger? My engine has 275k miles and I just can’t justify a supercharger. However, when the engine needs to be rebuilt, I wonder if anything can be done? Know of anything? Thanks
ty6896 short answer is no. But the deck plate mod adds a little pep in the throttle response, headers that allow more flow, but ultimately you need boost to increase performance or what I think you’re referring to as wanting to make your truck faster. Turbo charger or supercharger is really the true way to add horsepower to your truck.
I don't have experience rebuilding these motors so I can't advise you here. I know back in the day people would talk about adding a different cams, boring out the cylinders and putting different pistons in, yada yada. If you have a shop with experienced engine rebuilders, they'd be the people to ask. For me, I probably wouldn't bother trying to sup up one of these engines. My 98 rig is a slug now that I added some much extra weight to it and I'm ok with it. It just takes me a little longer to get where I'm going on road trips. Not a big deal to me.
When is thee next event?
Nothing planned just yet. Stay tuned on our Instagram page.
Non of these trucks' tires were aired down?
I have a feeling a lot of them were aired down. The guys that failed at the obstacle at the beginning were getting high centered on those big cement pipes and couldn't get enough traction to get through it. You could hear them slamming and bottoming out. The guy who did make the first big obstacle in his buggy had 40 inch tires and I think the first 2 rigs were probably on 37s. As for the 3rd Gens, 3rd Gens losing traction has a lot to due with the fact there's limited articulation with these rigs even when they have long travel kits. Another thing is I'm guessing is some of the 3rd Gens didn't have a rear locker. The rear locker really helps.
anybody know what kind of front bumper is on the 4R with the black sport hood and 5star wheels?
TJM
Matthew Phanphengdy yep! TJM bumper
We have taken jlu there, its pretty fun
I was going to Hollister Hills in the early 80's when I owned a 68 Ford Bronco.
We have a house in aptos and I lobe going there. I took amc concord 4x4 there back in the day. It was fun to beat up. I'm heading there at the end of December. Gave fun. Love to the toyota and jeeps
what light bar is that in thumbnail sir?
Karson Bussell we believe it to be an Extreme LED X6S bar but it could be something else
Timmy The Toolman i’ll check it out thx man
Disconnect sway bars?
That can help with articulation.
LIGHTBAR before lockers brooooooo
Well, you can't show off a locker while cruising the mall Bro.
Should come with us up Ed Levin park sometime.
Is that legal?
@@TimmyTheToolman Yep, we hang glider pilots drive that road sometimes 3 times a day. We need retrievals a lot of time so drivers are welcome. Just need to sign the park waiver. It's pretty decently technical, probably even more so after the rains.
@@TimmyTheToolman FYI I drive a 3rd Gen 4Runner. 4Runners and Tacomas are fixtures in the hang gliding and paragliding community.
@@SVSky I've mountain biked in that area so I'm familiar with it. Just didn't know if it was kosher to drive on those fire roads.
@@SVSky Well, I reckon we must have subscribers from the hang gliding and paragliding community then. Looks like a fun sport as long as you're not crashing into the face of a mountain or pile driving into the ground.
Lots of nice trucks and some good driving too. Dang, if I went, I'd be the oldest there....by a factor of at least two...except for the guy in the V-8 buggy, and maybe the guy behind the camera. 😂
This old man wasn't there. Timmy was elsewhere.
@@TimmyTheToolman You missed a good day!
Where’s the Brodozer🤔
Couldn't make this trip unfortunately.
It was at the mall!!! LOL
@@rallypoint1 How'd you know? Yep, I was doing some serious mall crawling. Those speed bumps can be treacherous. 37's minimum or you're not getting out of that parking lot.
Red little truck forgot to air down. Thts y he couldn't go over.
I think he was aired down but definitely not enough.
Come to Colorado
Where in Colorado?
Ouray is Disneyland for wheeling. Lot of people from Cali go through Moab to get here.
@@ZacTexC I've never been there. I've been to many places in Colorado for mountain biking over the last 25 years. Grand Junction, Fruita, Salida, Crested Butte, Vail, Boulder, Durango, Winter Park, Telluride, and the area near Monarch Pass to do the Monarch Crest ride. I love mountain biking and camping in Colorado. I've been to Moab many times as well. Maybe well make a wheeling trip out to your neck of the woods. I remember Ouray is famous for ice climbing, right?
Ice and rock climbing
@@ZacTexC Yeah, that makes sense. I was into rock climbing for short time and remember Ouray being mentioned in magazines like Rock N Ice.
7:44 Why not just show him climbing up the tires?
@@TimmyTheToolman the video is playing backwards. That's him coming off of the tires.
Anthony Trujillo yeah it was done for a little fun. You’re the first one to catch it!
