Jason Koertge abandoned his 5th Gen for a ........

The big question that hasn’t been answered is do his tires rub with the new rig?

Now I'm curious.... What is his instagram account name?

I personally am a big fan of his. This is partially correct: he is an amateur in overlanding only, but his love and authenticity in learning about the 4Runner was real. So was love of the outdoors. He did a lot of the work on his truck himself, and when he could not, had it filmed by the guys doing it....and always giving huge props to the shops and manufacturers. Respect where it was due.

But he is NOT an amateur in video creativity and editing - in fact i have yet to find a better, more engaging content creator that make trips out camping/offroading (or even just plain installing stuff on his truck) fun and interesting to watch. LLOD channel is another one at this level. Jason's interactions with his family and friends are also genuine. SO that said Ive watched a bunch of his stuff, and I would consider myself a tough sell for youtube attention. Admittedly, this particular video as linked above does not do him justice compared to his earlier stuff.

To each thier own, but i am a Jason K - fan, but yeah sorry to see him trade in the 4Runner for that beast of a truck, but he gives the reasons in a few of the videos.

Agree. I actually started watching his videos before I even had a 4R, I really enjoyed the production value of his videos. His early ones were a bit cringe worthy at times, not for the quality, but just his lack of offroad experience. He progressed quickly though, he was smart enough to quickly link up with others more with more experience.

I actually look forward to seeing the Ram in action; I find 4R stuff boring at this point. The only other YT channels I consistently follow these days are Lite Brite and Trail Recon (both Jeepers)

Swellrunner. He has a real estate company named "Blue Swell", he named his 4R the "Swell Runner".

I've enjoyed several of his videos.

He also gave away some of the stuff he had on the truck to his followers when he went full CBI. I remember signing up and really wanting to win the c4 lopro bumper he literally gave away for free (including shipping). Also gave his RCI skids and a few other things IIRC.

Can't hate on a family man who likes camping and wheeling with his kids.
