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

Do those really allow enough air inside??

 

Cleaned all the COVID road filth off her this weekend and added...an additional 50 to 100 horsepower and street cred with my updated "Jeep Eater" branding.

 

What are they made out of?

 

Took a short drive and they seem to work well. I'll test them out this weekend on a longer drive. The while toyota emblem is the vent. Lots of holes.

Steel sheet metal about the thickness of the window glass that is powder coated.

 

How much shaking do you get with those ditch lights?

 

Hey Jack
Not as much as you would think. The passenger side is rock solid...there is something about the one on the driver side that causes a bit of shake.

When they are on it is not even noticeable at all...and brother! They LIGHT up the road and ditches for sure!

I was very impressed the first time I powered em on driving home at 2am on the back roads...DAMMMMN they lit up the road.

I looked at a lot of the others on the market and preferred the look of the KC Lite ones on have, also got a good deal on em just before the holidays with a Black Friday discount.

 

Thanks for the info, they look good.

 

Added F5 SCS Wheels 17X8.5 with New Stock size Toyo Open Country ATlll’s. OEM 1” 2.5 Fox TRD Front Lift.

 

looks very good, any rubbing issues? did i read correctly. you just have the oem front fox suspension?

 

No rubbing so far. Yes 2019 Pro 2.5 TRD Fox. I’m running 2.0 Fox Shocks in the rear with shields.

 

Sweet must look good, whats the offset on the wheels. i want to replace my pro wheels for those but in black. i hate it so much cleaning it

 

-10, thanks.

 

Try a K02, they’re bulletproof.

 

Thanks Oldtoyotaguy!! I think I might be pulling my SCS wheels and putting back on Pro wheels. Not feeling it with the wheels. I thought about the K02’s.

 

Wildpeak AT3W is a better choice. Cheaper than the KO2 also.

 

Thanks Chris, I tried that route. 3 different sets of Falkens and all 3 did the same issue wheel shake between 50 and 60. 10ply and 4ply. I put Nitto’s back on my same wheels and no issue.

 

I had them in 285/70/17 under my 2016 4Runner with zero issues before I went up to a 295. I currently have them in 265/60/18 under my 2019 Highlander with zero issues. My dad has them in 265/70/17 under his 2019 4Runner with no issues. Had my boss put them under his 2016 F150 in 265/70/17 with zero issue. Not sure what was going on with yours but everyone I have recommended them to loves them.

 

Yeah I don’t know. There are a lot of posts on these tires from other Toyota’s owners with same issue. I called Falken and explained the problem. No issue with returning them to the tire place I deal with. The person I spoke to at Falken recommended to switch to a different tire. I have had a lot of Toyota’s over the years. Never had a tire issue with balancing them.

 

KO2 has a massive history of having vibration and balancing issues as well. In my experience with the KO2, they have always been great. The AT3W gets better wet traction and costs about 2/3 what the KO2 does so they are my go to when it comes to an AT tire. At least for the time being.

 

I currently have Ko2's (275/70/17). They took an incredible amount of weight to balance out. They are a great tire but I don't get the warm fuzzies from the balancing issues. When I go 285/75/17 at the end of the summer I am really looking at the Cooper ST Maxx. I have been impressed with them on some friends toys. If you go with Ko2's just make sure you hit the freeway immediately after getting them installed to verify they are good. Other than that they are a great tire

 

Installed Desert Does It (desertdoesit.com/collections/toyota-4runner) Front & Rear Seat Jackers and Front Multi Mount Panel. The seat jackers raise the drivers seat up allowing for extended leg room, I'm 5'11" and needed the extra height to allow my legs to extend and on the long road trips I've been taking they really make a difference in my legs and lower back. The Mole panel is an added bonus

 

Really? I'm 6'2" and have no problem with leg room. To each his/her own as far as being comfortable goes I guess. As long as you feel better while driving, that's what matters.

 

I had the ST Maxx in 285/75r16 and 255/80r17. Definitely a good tire. I'm debating that or the AT3 this time around. I've already put 34000 miles on in 18 months

 

Got my FN f(x) pros with wildpeak 275’s on. Yes they rub. Nothing a fender liner mod and a box cutter won’t take care of. It’s not much.

 

Lots of upgrades since I brought her home on 6.28.2019. More to come...

 

Seat jackers........wow what will they think of next. The list of accesories and mods for these 4 runners is endless!
As long as you have the $$$

 

Installed interior lights and black scoop. See Carlo’s step by step instructions.

 

Hi Don,
Did you sell the Pro Roof Rack??

 

Me Too!

 

Hi, Yes I sold it.
