In this episode of Dirt Every Day Extra, the 4Runner takes center stage for some off-road fun. Fred Williams takes us along as he shows us how to get the most out of Toyota’s 4Runner.
The 4Runner was first introduced in 1984 and has since gained a reputation for being a tough, reliable and capable vehicle that’s equally at home on the trail as it is on the pavement. In this episode, Fred reminds us of the 4Runner’s storied past and then sets out to find some new challenges for the 4Runner to conquer.
Fred takes the 4Runner through some tough trails and explains why and how he’s modifying the vehicle to handle the terrain. He gives us a look at some of the modifications he’s made, such as a suspension lift and bigger tires, but also reminds us that sometimes the best modifications are the ones you can’t see, such as the rear differential lock that he’s added.
He then takes us on a tour of the 4Runner’s interior and points out some of the highlights and lowlights of the vehicle’s design. He also shows off some of the accessories that he’s added, such as a winch and some recovery gear.
Throughout the episode, Fred takes time to explain how he’s approaching each obstacle and what techniques he’s using to navigate them. He’s always looking for new ways to challenge himself and his vehicle, whether it’s navigating a rock garden or powering through deep mud.
Although the focus of the episode is on the 4Runner, Fred does take some time to talk about the off-road community as a whole and why getting out and exploring is such an important part of his life. He encourages viewers to get out and explore, no matter what vehicle they have, and to always be respectful of the environment.
Overall, Time for 4Runner Fun! is a great episode for anyone who loves off-roading or who’s interested in the 4Runner specifically. Fred’s clear enthusiasm for the vehicle and the sport shines through, and viewers will learn a lot about the 4Runner’s capabilities and what it takes to push it to the limit.
