KkonaHi808,
Did you do the spacer lift kit or coilover kit option?
If you did the coilovers, which struts did you go with?
And how is your ride quality now vs stock?
Sorry for all the questions! There are not many posts on this kit. But wow it looks good!
I realize this thread is a couple months old.
OP, could you tell me of your mpg has been affected much by the SL 285s? My expectation is that the mpg would not be affected much, but curious to know your experience.
Thank you!
The TRD lift on the Tacoma vs the the stock TRD OR suspension is a nice improvement to the ride quality. The TRD lift feels much more plush. I hope the 4runner lift is the same.
Look at Nitto Terra Grappler G3 275/70r18
They are Standard Load (SL) tires. These would be the next size up and I think 46 lbs.
Or Nitto Recon Grapplers 295/70 r18 also standard load, and weight 52 lbs.
Not sure this helps, but my son has a Tacoma TRD Off-Road I-Force Max. He put on Nitto Recon Grappler 295/70r18 in Standard Load which are 52 lbs. His MPG is steady at 19 MPG now.
Also, Nitto (probably other brands too) make a 275/70r18 in Standard load that are about 46 lbs. Those are Terra...
I’m curious to see how many Pros actually sell in this color. Personally, I think it looks good, but it’s not something I’d choose—and I suspect a lot of others, especially those willing to pay for a Pro, might feel the same way.
That makes sense. I was not considering the affects of the tires on the stock wheels with stock wheel offset. The tire width could potentially hit the UCA.
The powder coated 17" TRD off-road wheels looks very good. They are a great looking wheel.... except for that machined aluminum lip.
Not...
What is different about the SR5, that 285/70r17 is the largest tire that can fit without rubbing? That tire size is only .1" taller than what comes stock on the off-road, which has the same ride height as the SR5.
Is the SR5 built differently?
I think the video is pointing shell's quality of fuel due to the additives. Not all fuel is created equal. He states Shell fuel with the additives, which they only put in the premium fuel, is the best fuel for a vehicle. That was due to the additives, not the octane level.
You can have crumby...
Does everyone just not understand that the octane an engine uses is based on its compression ratio?
87 vs 91 vs 93 isn't based on quality, it's based on octane.
If your engine doesn't have the compression to burn 91 or 93 and burn it more efficiently, you are wasting your money.
By some of the...
You have 285/70r17 in Load C (32.7" tall)
The 4runner comes with 265/70r18 in Standard Load SL (32.6" tall)
They are basically the same size tires.
The biggest difference is that you have heavier C load tires with a deeper tread depth. And that's not taking into account the specific trad...
