What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

I'm on 265 Wildpeaks now, unless I get a big "skipped leg day" vibe after the lift I'll either stick with 265's or maybe step up to 275's.

I figure if I go to 285's, I'm only really getting about 1 inch height and width more from a 265. I'm just not sure if trimming stuff is worth the inch in the long run.

 

Math looks good but with that much negative offset you're probably going to have rubbing.

 

Would it be rubbing of I stick with the 265's?

From the post above..."I'm on 265 Wildpeaks now, unless I get a big "skipped leg day" vibe after the lift I'll either stick with 265's or maybe step up to 275's.

If I have to trim it's not a big deal cause personally, I like the aesthetics of a bigger poke out. Plus if I'm forced to do it because of offset alone, then the issue of the in difference of the tire size is moot, and jumping to 285's would be on the list after the 265's need replaced.

 

I think that the Wildpeaks are pretty well known for rubbing with 265s even on a 0 offset wheel. It has to do with how wide the tread is on that tire compared to some others.

 

not the coolest mod in the book but I installed the garmin dash cam mini 2, using the dongar adapter..arrived yestereday and it was a really easy install and again whoever shared the dongar adapter on here, thanks again!
I won't bore the thread with the pics..

 

stock off road wheels and 265 wildpeaks no rubbing at all.

 

The stock wheels have +15 offset so they usually work.

 

Which adapter did you use?

 

You will definitely rub with 265's and a -25 offset. It's all fixable though.

 

Adapters – Dongar Technologies LLC

the toyota 4runner kit $29.99.. comes with pin adapter and short mico usb cable connection..

 

I have some tires on order - looking to move up to big boy tires.

 

What size is big boy to you? 33’s, 34’s, 35’s, 37’s, 40’s?

 

Thank you very much!

 

One of my H9/H11 conversion bulbs (Phillips made in Germany) went out, so I will most likely go back to stock bulbs and call it a day.
I heard about the short life span compared to the 55w OEM ones, this bulb didn't even last 1 year and a half.
It's a shame such a nice vehicle is being kept back by such shortcomings.

 

The stock bulbs are long life bulbs. You're trading light output for longevity.

 

Well, given I am driving a lot at night, and in remote areas, I dont want to be changing bulbs on the side of the road.
I swapped the OEM halogen fog lights for OEM LED ones, they are making a huge difference.

 

I’m getting the stock size - 33’s but getting BFG all terrain @GrantA

 

I think stock size is 31” if not a small 32”

 

yep. Mathematically it comes to 31.606 inches

265 (the tread width in millmeters). 70 (the percentage of tread width of the sidewall height). 17 (the height of the rim in inches).

70% of 265mm = 185.5mm. 185.5mm is exactly 7.30315 inches - this is sidewall height. 7.30315 X 2 (for the UPPER AND LOWER sidewalls) = 14.6063 inches + 17" rim height = 31.606 inches.

This number CAN vary a bit depending on tread depth, manufacturer, Rim width, Inflation pressure, etc... but RARELY will it vary more than .3-.4 inches. In fact it USUALLY varies down in value, since the lower sidewall typically has a slight outward "bulge" due to recommended pressures. This outward bulge removes true height. Most 265/70/17 tires are on the order of 31.25-31.5" tall.

to get a 33" tall tire in 70 series on 17" rims, you would need a minimum tread width of 290. A 295/70/17 tire would be 33.25" tall... a 285/70/17 tire would be 32.70" tall.

Every 18.143mm of treadwidth = 1" of over the rim size for 70 series tires.

Made a rack, still got to make the cross bars.

 

Build thread please, with details, dimensions etc. I think it’s against the rules or something to post things like this without a thread.

 

Installed the Anytime Front camera and gutter grill mod. Thanks for the help @j4unner !

 

Well, I didn't really take any build up pictures. Kinda came up with an idea(fj style), ordered 1 5/8"(o.d.), 3/16 wall, aluminum tubing, bent it with a pos bender that kinks a little, welded it with a spool gun(which was a pain and some welded are pretty. but not bad, just not to my standards since I'm a welder/fabricator by trade, but I rushed).. Anyway its strong as fuck so,, it'll do.

 

They never kink if ya fill em with sand before bending.

 

looks good! also, good spot for the camera too..

 

So change them out once a year

They're $10/bulb and easy to install.

Mine have been going strong since 2018 but probably do less night driving than you.

 

Well I almost did something really stupid. I almost traded my 4R for a 2 door Rubicon today. Jeeps have become so stupidly expensive. Instead I went back to Discount Tire to have my AT3’s rebalanced for the 5th time. This time they offered road force. It seems to have done the trick.

 

Do they have this for a 2017 Pro??
