Ditto. Mega-clickbait.

Also. I endorse this message. Mod up the wifey's!

Na 4Runner is already modded perfectly. Just ditch that massive trailer and learn to rough it a little more and you’ll gain plenty of power back. And refinance the 4Runner.

Love the vids.
 
Jason, I am a fellow Florida 4R Owner. I am down in the Tampa Bay area. I want to thank yo, your videos were pretty instrumental to me wanting a 4R. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
 
Jason,

Love your Vlog. I have a 2016 Trail and am looking at roof racks. I'm torn between Front Runner, Ezi Awn, and Baja. I was wonder how you like your K-9 rack and would you purchase it again or go with something else. Love you get your thoughts.

I'm thinking of getting the Slee sliders as well and was hoping you could answer a couple questions. How are they holding up and have you had to use them to life the the vehicle? Had any significant impacts with them? Last thing I was wondering is if the silver Slee tread plates can be removed. If I go with the Slee sliders I'd like to remove those and have them powder coated black to match the rest of the slider.

I love my slee sliders. I made a movie about them as well - check out my YouTube channel, 12 or so movies ago.

The part that says slee is a removable plate that you bolt on during installation. Mine are black, so unless something changed you can get them as you like. If I remember, there were two or three color options when I ordered.

I’ve had them on since august 2016 or so. No issues. I’ve jacked the vehicle up with them numerous times, slid them on rocks (only a little, not a hard core wheeler), hit them on rocks - never an issue.

When you get them, bolt them on, you’ll see. I think there’s something like 14 bolts on each one to the frame. They’re seriously stout. I have seen a variety of others and none have been as rigid and tough as these.

Saw your (clickbait!) video about selling the 4Runner.



Why not satisfy your urge to get a Land Cruiser by modifying your wife's? That way you get to keep your 4R and scratch the itch of having a LC200 you can take out from time to time.

Haha.

Well, it was a very true headline! It was the entire story about THE decision to sell the 4runner. But I ended up deciding no! I could have used: “I decided to sell the 4runner” - and while that would have ALSO been technically true, it was too clickbaity.

Look, the purpose of a headline is to get the viewer to open the message, start reading the email, start the video - whatever you’re intended action is. It’s marketing!!

So about my wife’s 200 - I’m operating under very strict rules with touching that! No lift, no rack, I’m going to touch some things up, but this is not an urge to spend money on mods that I’m fighting. What I’m fighting is the lack of power the 4runner has when towing my turtleback. Almost everything else, I prefer the 4runner over.

I’ve kinda resigned to the idea of super charging the 4runner at some point. I need to find a way to make some extra money!

Haha. Love the trailer though. Makes setting up and breaking down when moving every day with kids so much easier!!

The k9 has been pretty good to me. But if I had to do it again, I’d go front runner. I’m about to do the change so I can’t tell you all the differences or good examples of why, other than I know many others who run front runner happily and some who’ve switched from Eezi awn to it.

Sounds like the Magnusson supercharger is the way to go, but then you'll need an auxiliary tank to deal with the hit to driving range unless you're ok with filling up way more often.

If only Toyota put a real drivetrain in the 5th gen...

Whew. Tell me about it.

Speaking of which - do you know of anyone that makes an aux tank?

Towing the turtleback nets about 200 miles of range and it drives me bananas!

You get an automatic boost in mpg if you set the trailer down in a good location, and base lots of hikes and activities ON FOOT around it. Or just park it somewhere, come up with a dope locking system (or hide it behind trees), then detach it and drive around without it all day?

His content is merely a regurgitation of what others are doing in the "5th Gen Scene" in the pursuit of commercializing an audience on social media.

Every time he says "wow" in a video take a shot, 1,000,000 percent chance you will blackout. Use to enjoy his content, can't say i still do.
 
he's nothing more thant shill for CBI, and his video's are pretty much a infomercial for CBI, whether he likes to admit it or not.
