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

Factory Replica Wheels and Toyo Open Country AT III's. Completely spaced getting black wheel nuts until I walked out the door this morning. Kind of glad I didn't, I like the look with the chromies

 

yes, garage door openers and I am in the Macungie, PA area

 

As I posted earlier, I had Discount Tire replace my stock (new 2021 Venture with TRD Pro wheels) 265/70R17 Dueler tires with Toyo AT IIIs and found the passenger front rubbed in reverse, steering at full left, when backing out of our driveway into the street with differing slopes. Very surprised that the stock size would rub and a search of the forum didn’t show any other cases for that size tire. Using some masking tape I found it rubbing on both the liner and bottom of the fender. I ended up pushing the fender liner in mod and needing to trim a 1/4 inch from the bottom lip of the fender with an exact-o knife. Looks like that solved it. I just wanted to post that it can happen incase others encounter it. Still very curious what would cause a tire of that size to rub (looks rare).

 

I had the same issues with 1.25 spacers. Stock tire size but ran AT ties. took off mud flaps and trimmed bottom lip as well. still was rubbing in reverse full lock. made a horrible rubbing/clicking noise instead of smooth friction. I ended up taking my spacers off after 3 days of install.

pics are with the spider trax spacers on..

 

It's the Pro wheel offset.

The Pros get the fender liner mod at port before they ship the vehicle to the dealer.

Not sure why they didn't do this to the Venture trim, but they should have.

 

Do you think that is the same with SR5 Premium.. I like the spacer look but had to take them off.

 

Replaced the black/silver shift and t-case knobs with black-on-black.

 

Looks great

 

Hauled about 500 pounds of shit to the trash dump.

 

Definitely.

As you push the tires out further, the more of a chance you have at rubbing.

Were you using a spacer with the stock wheels? How big was the spacer?

 

1.25 inch spacer with stock wheel size 265/70/17 but all terrain tires..so as of now the spacers are sitting in a box lol..

I posted a couple pics above quotes with my spacers on..

 

That isn't too extreme. I would think you could make those work with the fender liner mod and the correct alignment (where your caster is set around +3.5 degrees or so).

I have stock wheels with 285's, the fender liner mod, and my caster is set to 3.6 degrees. With 1" spacers, I didn't rub at all. I put a 1.5" spacer on and now I rub at full lock in reverse. I suspect I'd get rid of the rub going down to a 1.25" spacer........and again, this is with 285's. 265's would be easy with a few small tweaks.

 

Where did you find the transfer case knob?

 

eBay. It's technically for an FJ, but identical to the 4R knob, except all-black.

Were did you get the transmission shifter?

 

Why oh why, would you ever post a picture like that let alone take the picture. A Jeep *cringe* pulling a 4Runner out of the mud....shameful...

 

I have to stop watching this thread. Time to get the paint out and prepare for color filling another shifter (4th one) for this little station wagon.

 

Made a Home Depot run to buy a new door. Then picked up some lunch and headed over to Thousand Hills state park. Looked like a good photo opportunity:

 

Looks like a great spot for a picnic lunch

 

Always seems to work out that way

 

We went from cold in the 40s to sunny and in the 80s now back down in the 50s. Just plain crazy.

 

Almost cut the lanyard off the gas cap today. Such a simple thing that drives me nuts, when it gets tangled.

 

Yeah, it's a pretty nice place to go to. They've got some good picnic areas there along the wooded area we were at and some more along the lake. There's a ten mile hiking trail there that I'd love to walk in its entirety someday.

 

Sounds like a great place all around

 

Baja Designs fogs & milage for the red devil

 

Our family phone # growing up/today ends in 666...Good ol’mom always wanted to change it

 

I'm waiting for mine to get to 80085. My old Jeep barely got that far, but it was awesome when it did.

 

Nice baja fogs buddy but that number...no way

 

Destroyed the Duro bumps while mobbing through the Mojave desert. Time for Timbren upgrades.
