Feature Friday: TOP 17 Super White 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner Builds In 2021

Featured Photo: Nick Gaudette (@Offroaddad) 2016 Trail Edition

Well, it is time again to focus on the WHOLE RIG vs a single modification. We will be focusing on the most popular color for the 5th Gen 4Runner: Super White. This Feature Friday was a fun one for me because I was able to see how different, even a common-colored 4Runner, can be from one another. Super White and Blizzard Pearl have had their share of “bad luck” for Toyota in the past, to the point that Toyota USA had to issue a recall of customers’ paint for peeling and fading. Some customers’ paint peeled so badly that you could see the bare metal, INSANE! Super White is a single-stage paint from Toyota that requires a good amount of care/wax. So keep your rig looking good and your paint shining, and you shouldn’t have an issue.

Each 4Runner listed below has its own purpose, from a daily driver to a family overland rig, and everything in between. Below you will find 17 Super White 4Runners with a handful of wheel combinations, suspension setups, RTT/roof rack options, and also one with some killer PINK powder coat!

These featured rigs are in no particular order, but definitely show them some love by following their builds on Instagram.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

Before I even had 1500 miles on this rig, I took it to Calico, CA (Phillips Loop & Kramer’s Arch) to see what a bone stock 4Runner was capable of. To my surprise, it performed AMAZINGLY. After that trip, the build process had begun. Every part had been thought out and planned for. I was fortunate enough to have great overland/wheeling minds around me. Being able to pick their brains during this build made it fairly easy to choose which parts to go with. If I want to hit the trails with the boys or go on a weekend desert-camping getaway, this rig is more than capable. (Or even a trip to the grocery store). Truly happy about how versatile my 4Runner has been during these last 2 1/2 years. Every stage of this build has taught me many lessons. Hoping 2022 will bring more blessings and rig parts. Big shoutout to Showstoppers Off-Road, RS AutomotiveWorks, 88 Rotors Off-Road, JH Garage, and everyone else who has assisted during this build’s journey! Last but not least, thank you to my SCUMBAGS OFF-ROAD FAMILY!

3. Ryan Lau (@4runnersaurus) 2021 TRD OR

MODS LIST:

Exterior:

• Dobinsons IMS Lift, 2.5″ Lift
• Yokohama Geolandar MT G003 (285/70/17)
• Stealth Custom Series Ray10 -38mm offset
• LFD Ruggedized crossbars on factory rails

Interior:

• Teton Workshop shifter
• Lasfit LED bulb swap
• Husky floor liners
• Jecar MOLLE rear cargo window panels

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

My build is a daily driver first and a weekend warrior second. This means that it still needs to do things like fit inside parking garages and haul today’s giant stroller in the trunk.

Suspension:
I went with the Dobinsons IMS because it seemed like a good budget middle ground between something like the Bilstein 6112s and an entry-level ICON kit. So far, the suspension runs great off-road and is firm on pavement, in a controlled way. In addition, I have the SPC UCAs, which, in combination with a fairly aggressive BMC, ensure zero rubbing with -38 offset wheels.

Tires:
I had concerns about going with MTs for a family vehicle, but those have now gone away as the faint rolling drone actually serves as a white noise machine, and the family will sleep like rocks in the back on trips. I haven’t had much impact on MPG, and the grip these Yokos provide is insane.

Armor:
If you have a family (as I do), sliders or some step are a must on a lifted rig, so I chose to kill two birds with one stone by installing sliders on both to protect it and make sure the wife could get in without hanging onto the door for dear life.

Other exterior mods include the Southern-Style Offroad rock sliders, LFD Offroad crossbars, and Stealth Custom Series Ray10s wrapped in Yokohama MTs.

A Pelican case is currently inbound to mount on the LFD Offroad crossbars, as I found out on a recent family trip that I need a bit more storage space for those longer hauls.

Interior:
Inside, I’ve swapped out the interior LEDs with red bulbs so as not wake the kiddo at night. Other mods include a shifter from Teton Workshops, rear headrest grab handles for getting in, and MOLLE panels added to the cargo windows to mount family essentials like paper towels and first-aid.

Overall, my rig suits my needs perfectly – I don’t currently have the flexibility to go all-out on a build, but also don’t want to drive a run-of-the-mill crossover. I still love firing up that ancient V6 with the overcompensating loud start-up fan, knowing that wherever our family decides to go, we’ll get back home without a hitch.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

My favorite thing has to be my Solar Setup! It’s a nerd flex, but I love it. After installing the Renogy 100W panel, my fridge is fully powered by the sun year-round. I don’t have to worry about my fridge losing power. Food and drinks stay cold. I mounted the panel on my roof with the ability to tilt to get extra light during certain hours. One cool thing is that Renogy has an app you can connect via Bluetooth to check all vitals and your battery charge rate. If you upgrade to their batteries and inverter, you can also see consumption rates. I do not have this capability right now, but when it’s time to upgrade from my deep-cycle battery, there will be an enhanced experience via the app. Something to look forward to as I continue the build-out.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

What I like most about this setup is that it keeps my rig relatively lightweight. I know we can sometimes get carried away with adding everything out there. For me, this is perfect for the weekend adventure from light to medium wheeling, yet still being a daily driver with decent miles per gallon. The mods selected on this build were chosen based on the type of wheeling I do. From the bumper to allow a winch for those times I get into situations, to lights for night wheeling. I’m sure things will change, as many builds do, but for now, at its current state, it has been solid.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

I love how it is just enough without being too much. I can take it from the beach in Santa Cruz to snowboarding in Tahoe, and I don’t feel out of place. I love the look the Viper Cut gives it, paired with the Ko2 tires and their tread. I love that I can throw anything I want on top and head out camping, or just strap 2 kayaks to the rack, then the paddleboard through the back window, and get out of town.
It runs like a champ, ride height is perfect, and it handles the road, rain or shine. It fits exactly what I want and need from it. Navigating through the snow in the winter and heading to the lake in the summer, and every daily commute to work (Kaiser) in between. My kids love it, and so does my fiancé (who has a 2016 MGM SR5).

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

What I like the most about my set-up is that it is very simple and everything on this rig serves a purpose, from the low-weight wheel setup to the correct lens on the lights. There is nothing on this rig that serves no purpose. I am ready to camp at a moment’s notice.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

Having the custom pink powder coating done has definitely made my ride stand out in a sea of white 4Runners. I didn’t want a ton of pink on my ride, but just enough to make it stand out. We powder coated the front & rear D-Ring shackles, winch fairlead, tow hitch receiver, and the SSO sliders (custom color layout), and our shovel, because why not!

One thing I learned when looking for the pink I ordered was that not all “pink” is a true pink! Some were purple, some were peachy colored.

I am glad I took the time to order the swatches before jumping the gun and sending a color to my powder coat guy. I also learned that you can’t expect to get the powder-coat color from the swatch if the item wasn’t already chromed. That definitely played into our decision to choose our custom color, as I did not want the unnecessary cost of chroming pieces before powder coating them in a whole different color!

My best interior upgrade is the radio head unit, one of the best upgrades I’ve done! The only downside is that it does stick out and partially blocks the air vents. However, this is a minor inconvenience for what this radio head unit offers! Toyota did NOT upgrade the head unit to support Apple CarPlay in their 2019 models, which were pretty rudimentary for being so new. I can go more in-depth on this head unit alone, but that’s another story. I highly recommend it!

The build is never done, as there is always something that can be done to help improve your ride and help make trail runs safer!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

I’m a “buy once, cry once” kind of guy, but I also am on a budget. I did a lot of research on every mod I made to my rig before purchasing anything to get the most bang for my buck while also avoiding sacrificing quality. I definitely can say that doing most of the work myself was probably the most enjoyable part of my build. Any work that I could not perform myself was passed on to a local shop in my town that does exceptional work. I still look forward to more self-installed mods. Turning my GF onto the exciting world of Overlanding, and meeting all the great people along the way, is something I always enjoy. Get out there and explore !!

• Waterport Weekender

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR SETUP?

Everything has a purpose. I spent hours researching (big up, Trail4r) and chatting with the community to build a trail-friendly, 95% road, and remote-worthy rig with a ton of interior space. Traveling to different trails, routes, and excursions requires a lot of road travel, so I made sure I had wheels that could take a beating and tires that could handle 90% of what I wanted. I’ve done parts of Fordyce, lots of spots on the Rubicon, and most of the Oregon Coast with this loadout.

The camp gear is essential to my trips. The Waterport Weekender for showers and dishes, fridge for chilly C- and EcoFlow for the work/life balance. Roam makes phenomenal (and sometimes expensive) products, but that awning has gotten a lot more useful than I would’ve imagined. I really value having a cozy interior,r so the roof rack was a must. The sliders have been rested on (almost full weight). The ladder helps me reach my storage bags and also lets me steadily target shoot.

It’s a build that lets me trek alone or with my better half (pictured). And that’s what I value most

Being the foundation of my whole build, the Dobinson’s MRR suspension has to be my favorite part of my rig. Once I began adding more weight to my build, I knew I was going to need to upgrade my suspension and not cheap out. Since I loved my previous Dobinson twin-tube suspension, I opted for their premium MRR kit with full long-travel in the rear. It’s been a blast dialing in the long travel, and I’ve been amazed at how much the extra flex and articulation help while rock crawling. I didn’t want to be limited to what kind of wheeling I could do after adding an RTT, and the Dobinsons helped me with just that. I’m now able to comfortably load all my camp gear while wheeling as hard as I’d like, whether it’s climbing rocks or blasting 50mph down fire roads.

Final Thoughts

Well, I hope that if you are a Super White 4Runner owner, you gained some inspiration from this week’s Feature Friday. I also hope everyone was able to get some upgrade ideas for their build, because, as we all know, the build is never finished. Right?!?

We want to get inspired by a variety of setups. Next week, we’ll be showcasing rock sliders! Thanks to all for your time! Seeya next week!
