Just to add some specifics on tire size, since a few people have said 33ish or whatever the equivalent is... The max tire size without any mods in standard tire sizes on an 18" wheel is a 295/70/18. This would be a 34.3" tire. I've been running that size in Nitto and Cooper, with no mods...

Yeah I hear ya, and agree! I've been shopping casually for many months, and intensely for a couple weeks. I would now consider myself a hardened veteran in the art of buying a 4Runner in post-covid 2021. I had to learn quickly 🤪 I started out close to home, at the Toyota dealer in Boise (where...

Obviously it's an interesting time to shop for a 4R or any Toyota right now. Dealers are maintaining pretty much zero new Toyotas in their inventories and I'm seeing 2 or 3 year old used 4R's in the sought-after colors with asking prices 15k above that of the price for a brand new one. I'll be...

Hello All, I've noticed over the last few months that my driver side seat heater is stuck on. As far as I can tell, the switch doesn't do anything, regardless of the position. My guess is that it's stuck in the Low position. Obviously I can start replacing switches and stuff, but I thought I'd...

Hello all, I'm having air bags installed on my '99 in the rear this week (Air Lift 1000). The goal is to regain the rear droop when towing a trailer and camping gear. In my research, it seems that most (or many at least) have opted for a single Schrader valve that's tee'd out to both bags. The...

Thank you so much for all the replies. Really excellent information. From the sound of things, I think a cooling system flush will be the right first step. Just looking at the small amount of coolant I can see at the top of the radiator, it does not look good. Pretty brown/rusty looking. The...

Hey All! I've browsed through the many overheating threads, and I haven't seen this discussed (forgive me if I've missed anything). My 77 FJ40 (2F motor, 77k miles) likes to overheat when I start driving it in the spring/summer. It stays garaged in the winter. The magical key seems to be the...

Hey there, did you end up getting this wheel and tire combo?

Assuming these are sold??

Something I'm curious about but haven't seen discussed after reading through this thread is how wide the stance becomes on an upgrade from stock tires to something like a 295/75/16. Specifically, I'm curious about how close the tires are from flush with the fenders. I did see Keowee's pictures...

Nothing like reviving a 12 year old thread! I'm looking to get some new wheels, and I've got the same question. Most of the vendors mentioned in this thread don't seem to offer a 3.5" backspace anymore.

Just to clarify, my project is the FJ40, not the 4Runner. (I think you knew that, just wanted to mention it) If your rubber is ok, I would just tape it off when painting. I only did mine in black because it had so much overspray from a previous owner paint job. I spent around $275 for 5 gallons...

If you mean the rubber window trim, I taped it off. I gave this subject some thought and asked around some forums as well. There are a few ways to do it that work, but taping's the way I went. Very time consuming. Also, due to the overspray paint all over the window trim from the PO, I did...

Nice. Looks good. Sent from my SCH-I535

Is that one plastidipped? The best source for information is dipyourcar.com. It's a good place for supplies, and thousands of members in the forum have dipped their cars. Oh, also search YouTube for dipyourcar. The owner does some excellent videos there. Sent from my SCH-I535
