  1. TRD Pro: 35s on OEM TRD Pro wheels

    Probably a good idea. The question is if the tire will fit in the spare slot. TL/DR: It will if stock size for 18" wheels. I decided to keep the OEM 265/70R18 wheel and tire as spare and treat it like a donut spare - drive slowly and get the bigger tire fixed right away. (I put Toyo...
  2. TRD Pro: 35s on OEM TRD Pro wheels

    That price on the Amazon page is way over the MSRP of $245. and the Toyota parts dealers mark things down a lot - but there will be a shipping fee (which I guess you can avoid with Amazon Prime but still not worth it at that price). I suggest googling the TRD Pro Wheel part number...
  3. First off-road in MudBath Pro

    cool - Rapidan was also my first off-road excursion. Was at ~1750 miles. Nice area. Not much farther north and west is Peter's Mill which is fun and has some challenging off-shoots worth trying- including Walter's Gap which gave my undercarriage its first rock marks. Next on the list for me...
  4. 17x8 +12 Offset + 285/75/17 or 295/70/17 + No lift = Possible?

    Agree with Papa. 285/75/17 are slightly larger diameter (33.8") than the 285/70/18 (33.7") I put on my TRD ORP. At +25 offset I had to remove crash plate and bend up tab for air dam screw and still had some slight rubbing of forward felt in reverse. Switched to +45 offset and the felt rub is...
  5. What lug nuts are you using?

    Yep - I had addressed that above. Knew about the change in internal size of lug nuts - the surprise yesterday was that the lugs I got from spacer experts were bigger on the outside than the 6G4R (22mm vs 21mm OEM)
  6. What lug nuts are you using?

    Mounted the tires with these lug nuts this weekend.... they look great, BUT we had to run out and get a 22mm socket for my impact wrench - biggest one I had was 21 - which fits my TRD ORP lugs but these need 22. (Son grabbing a 22mm lug wrench to have in the truck in case of flat since the 21...
  7. How does Hybrid iForce Max engine cool down the turbos after a hard drive?

    That’s the ticket! {not sure why text search did not work for me - maybe it skips over tables?} Thanks. And thanks for bringing explicit Toyota facts to the discussion.
  8. How does Hybrid iForce Max engine cool down the turbos after a hard drive?

    Vahn: Can you provide a section number from the manual? I know the manuals are not all the same (although I thought there were only a Hybrid and non-Hybrid version since my manual includes details about features only on the higher trims) but page 94 and many pages before and after are in Section...
  9. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    Yep - and they are 68# (I'm looking at the Falken spec sheet - looks like they come only in C - so my error above). Makes a huge difference in MPG (this statement is based on comparison of lots of miles with and without heavier tires - I'm not just guessing here. See my recent post in Hybrid...
  10. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    Correction, the Wildpeaks are true 34" tires so you need a different adjustment. Not positive but I think its 4.3% so: 251 * 1.043 = ~ 262 262/17 = ~15.4 (Ok, not that big a difference but over many miles it does matter) AND, those Falkens are HEAVY (like 68# in the E load) - which is a...
  11. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    assuming this is DTE right after fill-up. Note that at 0 miles DTE, you have ~1.8- 2.0 gallons in the 19 gallon tank still. 251 x 1.034 = ~260 miles adjusted DTE (for larger wheels) 260/17 = 15.3 MPG Not great, but in the range I've experienced if much of your driving is city. (e.g., with...
  12. RCI Full Skid Plates (Steel) + Rock Sliders Installed. Covers engine, transmission, transfer case, rear differential, gas tank

    I ended up ordering the CaliRaised step edition sliders. I liked the RCIs but shipping cost was prohibitive. Cali has free shipping so the small price delta was overcome by a LOT. But wanted to mention that after reviewing the very detailed RCI installation guide, they have an ingenious...
  13. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    TRD ORP Hybrid - Normal mode Air Dam on; OEM wheels/tires: 22 MPG average over 17 fill-ups and ~ 6k miles Air dam off; TRD PRO wheels w/ 285/70R18 Toyo A/T III E-load (57#): 18 MPG average over 8 fill-ups and 2.4k miles - includes 3.4% milage adjustment to account for difference in tire size...
  14. Random Daily Photos of the Day Thread - Post Your 4Runner Pics! 📸

    Took off the running boards to test fit them on my son's 5G4R as I just ordered the CaliRaised step edition rock sliders. Result: middle bracket fits - front and rear brackets don't have body screw holes in the same place. Close but no cigar. Will be posting the running boards for sale once...
  15. RCI Full Skid Plates (Steel) + Rock Sliders Installed. Covers engine, transmission, transfer case, rear differential, gas tank

    Am shopping for sliders and the ones you have a top contender, except for concern expressed in another thread (RCI sliders review): " RCI did not supply a kit to mount the sliders on my Non-threaded frame and the shop had to come up with their own method which seemed less than ideal." So...
  16. Random 6G4R Observation of the Day - Rear Seat Floor Attachment Point Covers

    I've strapped my TRD ORP rear seats up a half dozen time before, and I always use the covers that are on the bottom of the seats to fill the gap in the attachment point. For the first time today I realized the covers are two different sizes. Just struck me as weird, surprising and notable...
  17. Which Drive Mode are you all using for daily driving?

    Holy Crap - I just tested this and you seem to be right. When in Eco it stays there after engine off and then starting again later, but when in Sport it reverts to Normal at next start**. At least that is what happened to me today. (And I reminded myself how much I hate the artificial engine...
  18. Anyone in N. VA

    I sent a message to Chaos a few weeks back as I was planning a off road day but never heard back. Does look interesting. Please report back here if you give it a go. I've done Peter's Mill and the much more interesting offshoot Walter's Gap in Geo Washington National Forest just east of I-81...
  19. Onboard Air Compressor in Trailhunter 4Runner -- Specs? ARB Air Compressor?

    Thanks Corey - I think you are right. If only I could find an official Toyota installation guide to go with these PNs. 4RUNH Obtrifr Kit - Toyota (PT949-89241) - MSRP $1475 (on line at <$1200) 4RUN Compressor On B - Toyota (PT949-89240-AB) - MSRP $697.10 (on line at <<$500) So do you think...
  20. Onboard Air Compressor in Trailhunter 4Runner -- Specs? ARB Air Compressor?

    Nope. But you MUST also be tracking this other thread where I'm trying another tack - asking the company that makes the compressor. See my last thread there. Will try to remember to update if NSV gets back to me. integrated compressor install And someday someone is going to figure this out...
