How To Install a Lift Kit On a 5th Gen 4Runner-All The Details

- IMPORTANT EDIT! We made a mistake on torque specs for the upper and lower front control arms to the frame bolts/nuts. We displayed the Nm instead of the lbf measurement. The correct torque is- 85# for the upper arm to frame bolt/nut and 100# for the lower control arm to frame bolts/nuts. We're very sorry for our mistake. We promise we'll triple check our information going forward.
In this episode we install a 3" suspension lift on our 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner. We chose the ToyTec Boss lift kit for our overland rig and couldn't be happier. With it we also installed a front differential drop or, diff drop. Hopefully by watching our video you'll be encouraged to do it yourself or, DYI. It's so easy, even a moron can do it. Be sure to watch all the way to the end for some funny bloopers. We install new inner fender splash guards from Rad Rubber Designs too! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Subscribed!!! Thanks for sharing the wisdom. Very much appreciated. Now on my way to view all your other videos and await new ones. 👍
I have no experience wrenching on any vehicle but with this video you gave me the confidence to do my own lift on my new 4runner. Thanks for all of your time to put this together. Learning to work on my own vehicle has been on my bucket list for a long time and you helped me over come the fear and anxiety to get it done.
did you end up installing that lift all by yourself?
@@joshuajay2886 I did. It took me the whole weekend. Mostly because the dobinsons installation for remote reservoir shocks kind of sucked. Also installed steel front and rear bumpers.
Now I see why you got the CZcams Certified Mechanic T-shirt. Took you 19:26 to install complete lift on your 5th Gen 4Runner.
I just completed install of Icon 2.5 Coilovers w/ CDCV, SPC Upper Control Arms, Icon Rear 2.5 Shocks w/ CDCV, Icon Overlander Springs, Toytec 2" Bump Stop Spacers, and all related hardware. Took me 2 days. Haha.
I can say your video was instrumental in helping me do it myself even though I'm not near as fast as you guys. You both have been my inspiration in my 4runner build. I want to thank you for all you do and please please keep it up.
The wonders of video editing! :) We're incredibly happy we were helpful. Thanks for watching!
Can I just tell you guys how great it is to see how well organized your video library is. The description on the photo make your site like a reference manual when I work on my FJC. Plus you guys crack my girlfriend and I up as we can relate to some of your moments ✌🏻👍🏻🤛🏻
Thank you so very much! Your liking the way we have it organized makes the hours and hours we spend watching CZcams channel building tutorials well worth it. We're glad we are a help in your build.
This was a great help, even though I’m not using a toytec lift it was perfect for the deconstruction. Thank you!
Hello from Decatur... Great job on the videos found you through a comment on Facebook 4Runner forum. Slowly working on making my 2010 an overlander seeing what you have done has given me some good ideas. Thanks
We're glad we can help! There's a lot to come, stay tuned!
watching this video makes me happy, you guys are awesome
Thanks Samuel!
haha you guys are great. love the vids. that 4runner in red is the best in my opinion !
Love you guys videos! Definitely one of my favorite CZcams channels to watch!
Thank you!!!!
Great video, pretty clearly shows what needs to be done. Thanks!
You're very welcome.
The out takes are great ! Keep it up you too. I’ve just started to mod my 2015 4Runner, I’ll be looking to you guys for help!
I love it. I love these and Grand Cherokees. I got a 2019 Grand Cherokee Limited with the HEMI and is amazing with off-roading BUT...I hate that Chrysler didn't do a solid axle in the rear, cause if they did it'll be easy to drop the front diff a bit but since its independent in rear too, the only thing we can do is use spacers or up to 2.5 of lift max.
Awesome channel! Can’t believe I’ve never seen any of your videos. Looking forward to watching them all
Welcome aboard!
Enjoy the 4runner and the overland trips and enjoy that new Suspension
On the rear spring install, don't make the end of the spring touch the keeper. Back it off 1/4 inch or so. That way it won't squeak later on. Zero effect otherwise. I REALLY like that you did your test drive before retightening everything and hopefully marked them for easy visual inspection with a paint pen. That's something I've not seen anyone do yet and wouldn't have thought of even myself. Great job guys.
Watching these because I'm too broke to do it to my own 4runner atm...
NICE install and cute pup !
Mark and Merri thanks for the awesome video and corrections that were made! Hope to run into you on the trails sometime!
Thanks for watching Joshua!
You mentioned that the lower A arm camber and toe bolts would freeze up from corrosion. Your fix was anti-seiz on the bolt. While I agree with doing that, the real issue is the adjusting sleeve becoming corroded and attaching itself to the A arm bushing sleeve. This can happen with either the toe or camber adjustment. I would anti-seiz or heavily grease all contact surfaces. You lift was nice, good choice and good job. 09 4Runner Trail edition,
Another great video guys, looks like an offroad super adventure mobile driving down the road near the end. Have you considered upgrading your rear links at all? I have a set on order for the FJ now. Thanks again for the great video, love how you threw in the torque specs as well. Cheers 🍻
Thanks Gamma Boxer, we're glad you enjoyed it! We upgrade our rear lower links on our FJ, will likely do the same on the 4Runner. They're in a vulnerable spot.
Really appreciate you making this video, I was going to pay to have someone install my lift until I watched your video.
Great! That's the main reason why we make these videos.
Thanks so much for this video. It was incredibly informative and helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Love you guys! I
Very inspiring couple with your DIY segments.
Very detailed for noobs like me.
Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Love the bloopers!!!
Great video as always. Not sure if it really matters but on the front strut lower eyelet bolt the nut should be in front.
Good job, we put OME on our FJ,you're suspension lift does look " Red Hot " ,thanks.
You guys are great to watch. I would love to see you do something with a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4x4.
Send us one and we'll see what we can do. :)
Suspensions aren't an every day thing... and I love your DIY confidence!
Thanks!
So uplifting to watch these
Thank you for the detailed video.
You are welcome!
Even with the differential lowering kit, consider changing out the needle bearing in front drivers side diff. The additional axial strain caused by the suspension lift will eventually degrade this bearing. I have seen it dozens of times, generally manifested in a roaring oscillation sound at certain speeds, 40-50mph in most cases.
Yup, got one on the shelf ready to go in.
@@WanderlostOverland Is there an aftermarket permanent fix to this? Or does the needle bearing just need to keep getting replaced?
Helpful and entertaining video! You said loctite if you don't want something to move and I did no catch the other brand for items you do want to be able to move. Thanks
Never-sieze, or Anti-sieze
Yeah... You two are adorable. Funny who gets to drive too. Happy wife, happy life! Good stuff. Wish I had the tools and space to do more DIY stuff on my rig. But city life is what it is. Thanks to your video, however, I feel like I will have at least some knowledge of what's going on when I eventually talk to the shop that does my lift. Thanks.
Thanks, and thanks for watching! Yes, having a nice, and heated shop is very nice.
Great video.....you guys are fantastic! You’re inspiring
Thanks so much!

Thank you! Hopefully we'll meet up someday soon.
Another Very enjoyable interesting and informative video..thanks for making and sharing...
Thinking Forerunner 2020..
What suggestions have you for choosing a model..there seem to be several to choose from..
Any information would be greatly appreciated.... thanks 😊
Every single thing you can take a 4runner through in a TRD Pro or a TRD Trail can be done in an SR5 with slight upgrades. You generally end up saving money going SR5 even after a lift. If a fake hood scoop and plastic valances are worth $5,000-$10,000 it to you... be my guest.
This was by far the most informative install video I've seen, I appreciate it. Would you mind sending the link of the lift you purchased?
Thank you very much Dylan! Here's the kit we're running; toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/25BOSS-FJ210P--Boss-Performance-Suspension-System-for-10-4Runner-and-10-FJ_p_1619.html
This is way beyond any skill level I have however very interesting video! Can I hire you guys to do this to my 4runner
Love your videos! Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Great informative and entertaining video other then that you tightened down the control arms while suspension was sagging proper way would to to Drop vehicle back on tires on ground load the suspension when suspension settles then tighten both upper and lower control arms the way you show is miss leading and could bind the bushings and cause brand new control arm bushing to rip and tear
Great job on this video!
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Just discovered you guys..love your presentation
Thanks!
Hey Guys! Love your vibe and vids! I'm going to be doing this soon. I bought a full King kit with adjustable resevoirs and extended travel. Hopeing to get around a 2 to 2.5" lift. Everything else is stock on my 2021 TRD ORP. Got the Kings used for really cheap. they were bought last year and have around 8000 miles on them. I'm also getting new SPC uppers and will do the diff drop and sway bar relocate. Wanted to know if you had to modify anything to get the 285's to fit or did you simply add the lift and the tires were good to go? What setting did you end up with on the SPC's for the ball joint. "D" is supposed to be factory. What did you end up with and would you mind explaining why? Also, what alignment specs did you end up with? I've seen other videos that say 0 for everything but 4 for caster was right for them. Is that where you ended up at?
You know, a video on this subject from you guys would be amazing. I trust you and would love to get your take! Thanks again for everything and keep doing what you're doing!
These videos make it seem easier than I thought. I just might do it myself now. What lift kit do you recommend if I’m not a hard core off roader but still want the occasional off road adventure without the rock climbing?
For your application I'd likely go with ToyTec's Ultimate set. Give them a call or email and ask them for their opinion. Tell them we sent ya!
Can't afford the Toytech boss lift yet, maybe this fall. I did however order my Rad Rubber engine splash guards. Thanks so much for the video. I'm binging out on your channel. 😁
Good choice!
Still the best lift install video
Thanks! Your comment made our day!
p.s. Just a reminder: Our t-shirt fundraiser for TreadLightly ends October 19th. Make a donation and get a cool Wanderlost t-shirt! Here's the link to our fundraising site. It explains all the details: markmerri.wixsite.com/wanderlost-overland
I can do this! But will have to find out the procedure for KDSS. EXCELLENT job folks! Subscribed.
I'm looking into doing this lift but I also have the KDSS. Were you able to find some good direction as far as doing the install with a KDSS?
Def have to be careful when dealing with kdss. I have yet to find an install with the kdss systems.
@@GetOutsideWV Not yet Scott.
@@ecaro5461 Thanks Edmundo, that's what I figured.
Great video! Very detailed... I am getting ready to install SPC UPC and a Toytec spacer kit on a Pro. How are yours holding up? It seems like by removing the UCA that saves a lot of work as opposed to separating the lower to get the strut assembly out.
The most recently designed SPC arms are rock solid and extremely dependable. Ours are holding up great!
Thanks for watching!
This was a very good and informative video. Thanks yous guys. I just bought a ‘17 4Runner myself and plan on doing this exact setup. Looks amazing. If you don’t mind me asking do you have a total part list and approximate cost. Without taxes of course. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching Josef! You'll be very happy with this suspension system. It's been a couple years since we put on ours. For pricing a current options you're better off referring to ToyTec's website. There you can build your suspension exactly how you want it.
Highly recommend using spring compressors with locking pins way safer, the ones without should be outlawed too dangerous, great job you guys 🎉 and gals nice channel
Question for you.
When you stated you got 3 inches of lift by measuring from the ground to the lower fender lip, what was that measurement?
Hello. Super helpful info. Great job and thanks for posting. Do you happen to remember the ABS line bolt size needed? I want to pick it up before starting the project.
No, unfortunately I don't
Hi, I have recently started watching your videos. You guys are great together! I have a 2005 Tacoma so while it's not a 4runner or FJ, we are close cousins. I have to ask--- what breed are your dogs? They look a little like Scotties but I'm not 100% sure. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Welcome aboard! They're Cairn Terriers, second cousins to the Scotties.
Great video. You need to torque lower control arm bolts at ride height not full droop. They will bind and twist when you torque them at droop.
Very nice video.
You guys are a riot
Wow , top shelf “how to” video. I love your style guys. I wish my wife would work with me on my truck 😬. Im a huge fan 👍
BTW - I see you have KDSS equipped and rear set of coils seems to be extended travel? I see you installes it more than 2 years ago , did You run into any issues through these years? No KDSS lean? After watching your video Im thinking of installing exact same set , If you could share your thoughts that would be helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks 👍 We actually don't have KDSS, but we did put in extended travel rear springs. It's hard to go wrong with a ToyTec lift. We're going to be changing out ours this fall to their Aluma series. The Boss we've been running has suited us just fine though.
Good Video
You all make it fun with the little jokes. Thank you for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
Wanderlost Overland - I recently discovered you guys and ya'll do any awesome job! Thanks for the info! I was curious however, did you end up needing to install extended brake lines in the front or rear with this lift? I have the same Toytec kit sitting in my garage waiting for a cooler weekend so I can install, wanted to know if I should order the extended brake lines before I do the install. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Kelly!
Extended brake lines aren't necessary although, the rears do run out of slack at full drop. We're going to be upgrading our rear links to an extended travel set soon. When we do we'll be changing out all four corners to extended stainless steel braided lines.

Great video! I have a '16 SR5 and I'm probably going to go with the same suspension lift soon, but with JBA high caster UCA's (because the price is right). Honestly I don't think I would have chosen to do the lift myself if it wasn't for your video. I had a bunch of questions, but I think I found all the answers in the comments! Thanks for all the responses.
I'm hoping that the lift won't take too long to do in my garage with some jack stands and a buddy.
One question with regard to the front springs and the weight rating... My front end is stock, but I plan on getting a SSO Low Profile bumper w/ light bar and a winch in the next year or so. I think you guys ended up running the same bumper. Is it reasonable to get the heavier springs (700lb instead of 650lb rated) right now, or should I wait until the bumper install and swap the springs then? I don't know if the heavy springs would be way too stiff on a stock front end, but I don't want to buy twice. Did you guys upgrade the front springs to accommodate the weight of the winch and bumper or are you still running the 650lb springs? Thank you!
Thanks for
watching! We're glad we were of help.
We stuck with the 650# springs up front. The weight of the bumper/ winch didn't make a
very noticeable difference in ride or height. Our advice is to call or email
Hugo at ToyTec and ask him if you should go with the heavier springs. If anyone
would know the best approach he would. Tell him hi for us!
Awesome job, well done, and it looks great
Perhaps a good recipe on meat and potatoes on the next vid LOL 😎
Thanks George! Yes, meat & potatoes are our staple foods!
Excellent video and explanations. Funny to see you still using that crappy (& hot!) Trouble light when that wheel well is lit up with LEDs so beautifully! I definitely need a lift - my sliders and front bumpers are weighing everything down. I am not sold on big 285 tires because I'm concerned about power. Did you notice any annoying drop in power with all that rubber?
Also, you gave off road but no KDSS? Did you remove it?
No noticeable power loss at all. Thanks for watching!
Hi thank you for awesome videos. I just have a question about your Toyota lift. Is it necessary to change clamshell bushing on the driver side CV axle?
Not until the needle bearings fail.
Great video and I've seen several like this but isn't it easier to swing the lower control arm down and pull the shock out from underneath if your not replacing the upper control arm?
Another Oscar performance!! (golf clap) I have a 2016 4runner TRD PRO that HAS NOT been driven off road, but both coil over springs have broken. It has 82000 miles. It has the stock Bilstein shocks that were supplied with the vehicle. At about 35000 miles, the passenger side coil over spring broke in 2 places and the front end sagged and made a horrible racket. I had that replaced, and the dealership supposedly sent the busted spring away for analysis. Yesterday, I did a brake pads/rotor change on the front end, and discovered that the driver side coil over spring is now broken in 2 spots. The reason that this was not noticeable is that the spring broke at the top and at the bottom, and there was enough meat left from top to bottom so it didn't make noise or affect driving. The stock shocks and springs are no longer available.
My question after all that is what shocks would you recommend to replace the Bilstein shocks and springs (front and rear)? I'm not looking to lift the suspension, but maintain the stock height (give or take an inch)? I have looked at Bilstein 5100 series, but i'm unsure of what to get. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you, and I enjoy your videos!!
Fantastic video!
Thanks Aaron!
@@WanderlostOverland and you responded?! Annnd subscribed...
You guys crack me up, great video though!
Thanks Eric! I try to get Merri to straighten up and take things more serious but she won't listen. :)
The bloopers😂
you don't need to disconnect anything in the back at all... just get your bottle jack out and put it under the bump stop on the side you're working on. Then extend it as far as needed to get the compressed larger spring in. SO much easier!
Wow. Super helpful. Installing a set of Kings..did the rear yesterday and Wil attempt the front with the same UCA these folks use. Didn’t disconnect a thing in the back. Used the bottle jack and went real slow. Worked like a charm
yes it's fantastic right? You can probably put a piece of wood above it to give u more height....
Hello guys,
The video is awesome.
As I comment in another of your videos, I just purchase a 2017 4Runner trd off road and I am planing to lift it, but I have read in some forums about issues after installing the kits.
Did you have to perform a "zero point calibration" after installing the lift and do the alignment?
No zero point needs to be done. Just a simple alignment. Thanks for watching our videos!
9:43 I missed this when your video first went live. Sure enough my OEM splash guards rotten away in under three years. I ended up replacing them with ARK Splash guards.
Nice vid.
Hey guys. Great video. Was very helpful on my install. Love the way your truck is sitting. I didn’t get much front lift out of my king coil overs. And I have the same bumper and winch u folks do. Do you have post lift measurements from center wheel hub to fender? Front and rear? Thanks and keep up the awesome work
We measured before and after from the ground, not the most accurate but it works. We came up 3" front and rear but since putting the heavy bumper on the back it's settled down to around 2" back there.
Great. Do you mind measuring from Center of wheel hub to Fender?
I'm at about 21" up front and 25 in the back. Its a serious rake. I'll adjust the suspension as you did. Similar on the Kings.
Sure, we'll measure it this afternoon.
Center of the hub to the fender lip up front is 23 3/4" and 24 3/4" in the rear.
Great.....After putting on my Kings I'm 21.5 up front and 25 in the rear with the OME heavy duty(440lb) springs in anticipation of a rear bumper this summer.. I have no threads showing on the Front coilovers so I'll raise them as soon as the tool comes in. Thanks again for your effort. Its a great looking lift!
would it be good to put anti seize on the lower shock mount?
Hi there Wanderlost, I'm putting the diff drop in and mine only came with two washers for the long bolt which I assume goes on the bottom between the bolt and OEM big washer. I noticed you also added a washer on the top side where the nut attaches. Did you supply your own washer for that?
Love your content. It is never quite as easy as the videos show, but the videos are a tremendous help. Thank you for the help.
It's been awhile since we did it. You don't necessarily need a small washer against the large washer. I'm not sure why we did. One is definitely needed at the top under the nut.
@@WanderlostOverland thanks for the quick response. I ended buying a three pack (not sure why in threes) of grade 8 washers and used them on the top. Feedback from ToyTec was using them under the big washer was correct, but didn’t feel right not having something on top.
I couldn’t get the original washers off the bolts that were under the big washer.
Awesome, Thanks So Much, wouldn’t take the risk doing this myself tho...
Question if I buy this Toyo Setup do I HAVE to increase the tire and wheel size? Thanks Lot, 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
No need to upsize tires at all.
Great video well explained, with higher lift does that put more stress on the cv and with bigger ties how does that effect gas and gears . Lifted my 13 jk and was not being educated or told by seller that rims , gears , drive line and miss. Needed to go with it 8 gs later and still crappy gas mileage but is awesome to off road as long as you have Jerry cans . Very interested in getting a 4 runner I’m trying to as much self education as possible this time . Your in put will be much appreciated. Note did most of the work myself but all was checked and torque buy 4x4 shop.
Thanks for watching! The vast majority of 4Runner owners don't lift more than 3". At that there is little or no extra stress on the CV axles, a front diff. drop kit helps. Going from 31" to 33" tires doesn't require regearing.
Great vid! How satisfied are you with ride quality today? Any regrets or things you would do differently today?
Im Shopping lift kits and UCA’s, debating between Toytec or Icon ?
Ride quality is excellent, still! They firm up, especially in the front, at low speeds,
Great video Wanderlost Overland! I have a question that I really hope you can help me with… If you haven’t already, can you measure the current height of your 4Runner from the floor to the highest point (either the shark fin antenna or roof rails)? I put a deposit on a TRD ORP so have to wait about 3-4 months to get it. I want to do same lift height and same tire size and want to know if it will fit in my garage since I have an old school wood garage door. Doing a simple Google search comes up with a stock height of either 71.5 or 72 inches tall but it doesn’t say if that is to the roof or roof rails. So since I don’t have my 4 runner yet can you measure yours for me? It would be highly appreciated and something that no one has be able to answer me in fb groups. Thank you in advance!
Really love the videos! I too am in the process of lifting my 2020 SR5 Prem. I ordered the HD rear springs from OME with a 400lb constant weight rating and wondering if i need to change to the Super HD Rear Spring with up to 1000 lb? Curious as to what the rating is of the new springs you just installed. Thanks again!!
They say the Xtra HD springs are for vehicles with 500-600 of extra weight in the rear. For a more detailed rating we suggest you reach out to ToyTec Lifts.
@@WanderlostOverland Thank you!
So I just got a 2019 TRD Pro. Did you decide that you needed more lift and therefore went for the TT lift? Bc my Fox suspension currently is very smooth and I'm debating whether it's worth it or not to get rid of it. Basically, my question is: how much more capable will another 2" of lift make my vehicle on offroad situations.
Thanks for the awesome videos btw! My gf and I love to watch them
Yup, we didn't get the Pro because we knew we wanted to get a full three inch lift, and set up for longer travel in the rear. We didn't want to waste money on a nice suspension we weren't going to use.
As far as capability: The extra ground clearance we gained does come in handy and, we're able to get taller tires under it.
I guess my suggestion to you would be to use the Pro suspension for awhile, find out what type and intensity your offroading will be. The new Fox suspension is incredibly nice and may likely be what you need.
Thanks for watching! We have much
more in the works.

Really appreciate your videos! doing the Toytec lift install and had 2 Q's 1. Do you remember the screw size for ABS bracket replacement? Would love to have them ready to go for the install 2. What was that you applied prior to the UCA ball joint connection?
Glad to help! 1)Unfortunately I don't know the size. 2) That's never-sieze, so it comes apart easy next time.
@@WanderlostOverland That’s what I thought! Thanks for confirming!!
Luvly presentation.. me and my son will do this 😍🇨🇦🇺🇸✌️
Wonderful!
Nice video. I’m getting the same lift kit for mine runner too. Do you know if the rear needs extended brake line, is it require to get it???
With both tires at full drop the brake lines are very tight. We're going to get extended ones for ours soon.
Nice 5th gen proper build
Dwayne Blanks thank you
Thanks for the video. Working on my diff drop and noticed the the bold does not complete go through the top nut. Also noticed you put loctight on your nut. I was not able to see the end result on your video of how much the bold thread went through the nut. Can you confirm if it did not go all the way through and if it has not, have you had any issues or loss nut braces if this? Thanks
The bolt most certainty has to go all the way through the nut. maybe the wrong length bolt?
12:03 protecting your manhood 👍 ( that’s what she did) good job guys.

Nice job you two look like you have way to much fun doing installs. But I have a question what size tire did you go with?
We went with 285.70.17.
Any rubbing with 285?
Entertaining video. Since you've had the kit on your 4runner for a few months and on the FJ for a while, how is everything holding up? Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work.
The only thing that has gone wrong was a rear shock on the FJ It blew the seal out. Toytec sent me another one at no cost, no problem. :)
Good to know. I think this kit will be the next mod on the list. Thanks for the reply.
Hey so out of curiosity, why did you go with the boss lift and not the ultimate? What were the factors you looked at and used to make your decision? That's where I'm currently at with my 5th gen and would love any input!
We chose the Boss simply because we've had such great luck running it on our FJ. To be honest, we're not sure what the difference between the two are. The folks at ToyTec are incredibly helpful and they would be happy to explain the difference. When you find out can you let us know?
Wanderlost Overland Absolutely! I'll try and give them a call today if I can swing it while at work during a slow point and I'll come back here and share the info! Thanks for a great video though, and like someone else mentioned the organization is absolutely amazing 👍👍
Hi, Great video. I noticed on Toytecs website the the Boss performance lift, it says "OEM wheels my require spacers" did you guys have any issues with that.
Thanks.
No problems here. The stock wheels fit fine.
Where do you find information on the torque for all the bolts and nuts?
I'm taking the leap and trying to install my lift on my own, wish me luck!
Best of luck!!!
Great video. Does all the diy customization void your warranty with Toyota?
Everything is still covered except the aftermarket parts.
she is hilarious. good to see some out takes. :D
pensrud thanks, well I make plenty of mistakes, so there will always be bloopers. 😄
LOVE this vid! Well done guys!
Hilarious....
Question?
I see your TRD PRO rims... you stated 285 70 R17's? Are these the 7" wide or the wider 8" version to accomodate this tire size?
If they're 7's (OEM) Any issues with the tires?
We just picked up our 2018 4Runner TRD OFFROAD....
I like this look alot!
Thanks!
Bob in Az....
Thanks for watching our videos Bob! Like you we too had concerns about running the tires on these rims. Before we pulled the trigger we did exactly what you're doing, getting first hand experiences. Everyone we talked to that's running this wheel/ tire combination told us they have had no trouble at all. We've been running them for close to 15,000 miles and have no issues. Even aired down to 20psi, no problems.
Wanderlost Overland sweet!!
Good to know I saw the 8" wide version, non OEM, but wanted the factory TRD PRO TOYOTA WHEEL....
No rubbing with this clearance (3") I'm sure? Wheel wells, UCA's etc...?
Also, which vendor/dealer would you recommend for this lift purchase?
Thx again guys!
Az Bob
We had a slight rub in front of the front tires. We simply moved the wheel well liner forward and trimmed the bumper piece a little.
Wanderlost Overland any video of the what you trimmed/moved? Thanks!
Bob..does your TRD Off-road come already from the factory with the equipment that they installed on their TRD?
Hey guys good work. Any issues running the 285/70's on the 7 inch wide TRD Rims?
Thanks Matt! No problems at all on the 7".
Could you please put the kit # in the video description? Thanks
Few more questions for you guys: what kind of grease you using for upper control arms? What brand torque wrench you guys use? I didn’t get those square radiator support shims in my kit, they discontinued 🤔? Weird. And finally, i chose the reg springs. Do I need spring compressors for them? I was estimating that they are a size that still fits with some elbow grease with out spring compressors. Thoughts and advise? Thanks again.
We use a high-pressure graphite grease for our upper arms.
Not sure what brand our torque wrench is.
You may want to reach out to your kit supplier about the missing shims.
You probably will get your spring in just fine without compressing.
Question guys, as you two are my go to for info on a great 4runner build. I just installed the SPC Upper Control Arms on my 2015 4runner Trail Premium along with Icon 2.5 coilovers w/ CDCV. Anyway, my question is, what setting did you set your ball joint in on your control arms? A, B, C, D ??????
Whatever the suggested setting was on the paper showing the positions. I believe it was D.
@@WanderlostOverland thanks. that's how i installed as well. had a toyota mech tell me that when they install they put it in the C position and get more caster. Just wondering. You guys are the best though.
