What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

[Undefeatable]

Finally installed a matching spare tire to the rest of my tires (285/70r17). Hangs pretty low in the factory location, but not too worried about it. Would rather have the piece of mind of a matching sized spare in case I need it.

Getting ready to spend the anniversary weekend in the mountains next week, so have been knocking things off the to-do list. A few things I got done this week:

• Installed Meso Customs LED map and dome lights
• Installed red rear recovery hook
• Installed LAMTTO 360-deg 4-channel dash cam
• Installed Racksbrax HD quick-release awning mounts

Disabled the fake engine sounds with my new Carista. I had assumed these weren't in use in Normal mode, which is the only mode I use, but the difference is noticeable. I can't believe they don't expose this option in the infotainment, because many users (including myself) see absolutely no point to it.

Maybe I’m just hard of hearing or something, but I swear I can’t hear any ESE in any drive mode on my TRD Pro. For it to be worthwhile, I’d expect it to sound something like how Porsche has a switch that opens a vent to let muffler noise into the cab, but that’s not fake…

The way I can tell is switching between normal and sport when going up the hill @ 25mph towards home. Very noticeable difference in sound, kinda hilarious actually.

But, there is still some ESE in Normal mode even. This became very apparent once I totally disabled ESE!

Looks really nice! What ditch lights are those and brackets?

For better endurance off-road, aired down, etc.

Removed: 5 OEM Falken Wildpeak A/T AT3W A SL-rated tires 265/70 R18
Installed: 5 Toyo Open Country A/T III E-rated tires LT275/70 R18

Toyos ride a little softer on road seams than the Falkens did. They're 10 pounds heavier, but this turbo 4-banger has plenty of pep to keep 'em rolling.

Now I'm left with this "tire tower" in our garage. Anyone need some tires? Only 99 miles on four. Spare is undriven.

edit to add location: North from Phoenix, AZ.

I have the same Toyo 275 E-load tires in 17in and really like them, but I didn’t get a 5th spare. How manageable is it to replace the spare and does it look weird at all when mounted? Just curious.

As a sidenote (from both experience and speaking with Toyota tech) these E loads need balancing more often. I’ve already put over 5k miles on them but needed a balance at 4k miles.

1st time 4Runner owner, but a huge fan since the 1st gen came out. Just installed the Sxth Engineering cold air intake and so far, so good.
