  • Seriously, if y’all could design a 5.7 swap kit, I’d be all over it. I’m going to ride the wheels off my 2015 but at some point in the future want more power. It’s 10k for a 4.0 supercharger kit. Same guys who get that would be more than willing to drop 15k on a swap instead.

  • I have a 2015 4Runner, and I was wondering if you could do the same engine swap on mine that you did on his, and if so what would it run me? Thanks

  • This rig is amazing! Wondering when you’re going to sell it to me ;-) $100k probably ballpark? Lol

  • Do you have more detailed information on the tundra engine swap. This is my dream one day, supercharging the V6 leaves me wanting more..

  • Yoooo, Brenan from https://trail4runner.com/ here. Damn this build is impressive. I just keep wondering how long it took to swap all the electrical and wiring harnesses from the Tundra ECU over to the 4Runner. Jasons wiring game is on point!
