welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner, hey guys what's up my name is Jason and
this is my 2016 toyota 4runner Trail Premium, I'm gonna show you all the
things that I like about it and all the mods that I've done to it, but first I
want to give a huge thanks to Scotty Kilmer for allowing me to show you guys
my vehicle alright let's get started, so like I said this is a trail premium
model of 4runner, there's a few different trims you might want to know about
there's the sr5, sr5 premium, trail, trail Premium, limited and TRD pro, this is the
trail premium, some of the notable differences from the exterior over the
trail model is the front and rear bumper valence cover and the hood scoop on top
of the hood, the main differences are gonna be on the interior of the vehicle
for the crawl control and the a track and all that good stuff which I'll show
you here in a little bit, the 4runner has a 4 liter v6 engine with a 5-speed
automatic with sports shift and overdrive, and the 4-wheel Drive system
is controlled by a manual shift lever transfer case, alright so this is the
bread and butter of the trail system 4-wheel Drive features, this is the crawl
control it allows travel on extremely rough road at a fixed low speed without
having to press the accelerator or brake pedal, all you have to do is steer, this
is the multi-terrain select system which has four terrain modes, when you select
the mode according to the terrain the engine power and active control system
is controlled to enhance off-road drivability, this is the auto LSD system
which aids traction by controlling engine performance and braking when one
of the rear wheels begins to spin, this is the active traction control system
that automatically helps prevent the spinning of four wheels when the vehicle
is started or accelerated on slippery road surfaces, this is the rear
differential lock system and it's provided for use only when wheel
spinning occurs in a ditch or on a slippery rugged surface, some other
notable features on the trail premium are the turn signals inside the side
view mirrors, as well as a sunroof on top, in the interior you'll find the soft
Tech's covered seats with red stitching which is a much
better upgrade over the cloth seats, the door panels share the same design with
the soft Tech's with red stitching it makes it look really nice on the inside
it's a great touch and it makes the interior feel a lot higher quality, I
really like the trim in the car also it's a glossy black metallic as you can
see here on the door panel, it also flows onto the steering wheel here as well as
the center console and entertainment cluster, another awesome feature that was
an optional upgrade to my before runner was the kdss which is the kinetic
dynamic suspension system which is technology borrowed from the landcruiser
it's a hydraulic system that reduces body roll when driving on normal roads
and increases wheel articulation when driving off-road, all right now I'm going
to tell you about a few of the mods that I've done to this vehicle, up top you can
obviously see that I have the windshield light bar here with hidden wiring it's
really nice because there's no crazy wires sticking out it's very well hidden
behind the bracket and goes all the way down the channel here into the engine
bay which is pretty awesome, I've got the LED ditch pods which help at night if
you're coming across a ditch like we have back here at Canal, if you needed a
little extra lighting out the side over here to see how far you are close to the
edge those are great to have, I also have the hidden LED bar right here inside the
bumper for a good straight beam pattern, I pretty much have upgraded all the
lighting in this vehicle, for my turn signals I'm running a switch back LED
which functions as white and as soon as you hit the turn signal it flashes to
Amber and then back again when you release the turn signal, it's one of my
favourite mods right there, for the low beams I have HIDs 6000k High Beam DRL
and the fog light it's the same type of bulb it's an LED 6000k LED bulb, so at
night it puts out a great amount of light all together, all right now I'll
show you my driving lights, first I'll show you the LED switch backs that
function as white parking lights, and then flash to Amber when you use the
turn signal, and then back again when you release the turn signal
all right now for my low-beam HIDs, and now for my LED fog lights, and now for my
LED high beams this here is my switch pros unit that I
installed this controls all my lighting on the exterior, I have the wind shield
bar here, the bumper bar, spot lights which are the ditch pods, I never got
around to installing the rock lights and I have an under glow kit which I don't
even really use it was just for giggles I have them programmed to strobe also
and you can even control these while the vehicle is off and through Bluetooth
which I'll show you here in a little bit at night, so my main driving lights are
off I'll go ahead and turn on the windshield light bar, then the bumper bar,
and the ditch pods so those are my off-road lights there,
you have no trouble seeing in the dark with this setup here, so on my iPhone
here I have an app for my switch pros unit that's controlling all my off-road
lights, here and it's connecting via bluetooth, I can actually now control all
my lights from my iPhone right here, so here's the windshield here's the bumper
bar, spotlights, so yeah that's my iPhone controls through my switch pros that's
inside my vehicle, I also upgraded all the interior lights to white LEDs as you
can see here at the bottom of each door has this white LED as a courtesy light,
and here are the map lights this is the dome light in the middle of the vehicle,
these are the cargo lights and these make a huge difference when camping, I
don't know if you can see this but inside my windshield you can see my
wreck Singh v1p dashcam, it's a front and rear dashcam, a great little camera
because when you have a hard wired like I do you can have motion sensing and
shock sensing, so if somebody hits your vehicle it'll start recording and it
also if somebody walks in front of your vehicle it will sense the motion and will
start recording then as well, for my suspension I've done a three-inch old
man emu lift with Springs all around and toy tech spacers in the front to
keep it nice and level all the way across, I also have the Nitro charger
shocks and SPC upper control arms for the tires I'm running a 285 7017
Cooper s TT Pro tire and for the wheel it's a method roost 17 inch wheel and
bronze-colored I've also got the in fab nerf bars on
the side these are side steps to help you get on top of your vehicle like this
in case you have any luggage or anything up here, it's also great for my children
so that they can easily get into the back they use that as a step so that
they can get inside, I got the windows tinted as well I'm running 18 percent
all the way around and I did tint the windshield 35 percent, in this Arizona he
in the summertime it makes a world of difference,
my 4runner also came with navigation as you can see here, and it's a pretty
cool little system here, this is a cool feature here in the trail premium you
have dual front heated seats, and here is the OneTouch powered sunroof which is
great for cruising on nice days, I really like this switch here it has an auto up
or down feature to control the rear window, another cool mod is to the key fob
here, it's something that the dealership has to do, they reprogram your key fob so
that when you press the unlock button twice and hold it it will roll down all
four windows, check it out here, that's friggin awesome I love that feature
there, after my last off-roading trip I decided to go ahead and get the
all-weather Husky Floor Mats it's a great improvement and they're easier to
clean, this is my diode dynamics tail less turn mod, it converts the stock turn
signal into an extra backup light and makes your brake light your turn signal,
the brake light still functions normally as a brake light it just has an extra
function of a turn signal, I really like this mod because it gets rid of another
amber light on the vehicle, and here's the added reverse light, it makes a huge
difference at night especially with my tinted windows
here's a different angle so you can see it a little better the stock reverse
light is actually the one on bottom and it provides very little backup light
these are very high quality LEDs and it makes a world of difference, I'll go
ahead and start up the engine so that you can hear what it sounds like at idle
and when revving it
this vehicle is very special to me because I worked very hard to get this
without any help from anybody, I bought it brand new in 2016 with only
11 miles on it, I put a lot of working doing all the mods myself and I even
made youtube videos to show how to install each mod that I've done, if you'd
like to see some of the videos of the mods I've done, go ahead and check out my
website the Ronin Chronicle com, you can also find me on YouTube, Instagram and
Facebook at the Ronin Chronicle, I started watching Scotty Kilmer videos
