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.

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.

Thanks for the tip on rebalancing.

What PSI are you using ?

We had these same Toyo's for 5+ years on our 2020 Ranger in E-load LT265/70 R17. Traded our Ranger in for our 2026 ORP. Win!

Our ORP came with four optional black 18" wheels (PIO) and a full-sized spare that had the original 18" silver ring wheel. I won't do 5-tire rotations and left the mismatched spare wheel, but the tires all match.

Replacing the spare tire is easy... for Discount Tire! I lowered the spare onto my creeper dolly, rolled it out, then put it inside the cargo area so DT didn't have to lower & raise it. I rechecked the pressure, then reinstalled the spare myself. The chain hoist is smooth and easy to use. I found that while nearing the top, need to rock & wiggle the spare around to make sure it's fully seated in the forward brackets.

Several here have 285 spares. Our LT275/70 R18 spare looks to be the max size to fit up in there.

Power was out all day due to the atmospheric river, but I made it out to get some Nitto Terra Grapplers installed on my Limited!

Went with 265/60R20 to ~match the 32.5” dimensions of the OEM 18 inch trims.

Also ordered a 5th limited wheel (PN 42611-35680) so I can replace the steelie with an identical spare and do 5-wheel rotations.

Will also be receiving the Lasfit rear seat back protectors here momentarily to complement my OEM all-weather mats everywhere else.

Interesting, Nice wheels btw

Let's see what you've done to your 4runner today / lately ?‍

Cali Raised Ditch Lights installed. 27W with side-projecting LEDs. Love it so far! Very bright at night and helped with peripheral views to watch out for wildlife! I have adjusted them to be at 10 & 2 o'clock position with slight tilted down.

The pods have slots for amber lens attachment that I may get in the future.
