Haha. Thanks!

Hey thanks 🤘🏻

Thanks for watching! I’ll have a walk around coming up after I get the rear bumper installed. I’ve been waiting about 10 weeks to get it so far. Should be here soon.

You’re welcome! Yea there’s so much more work involved than most realize. Thanks for watching!

What wore out on the SPC arms? If I did it again I’d max out at 34” tires. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.

@@DBCoffroad their x-axis bushings

Thanks for watching! It was more work than I was expecting.

Thanks for watching!

@@DBCoffroad I'm glad you posted that supercharger video too. Wish it were bigger...

@@OverlandEngineer that’s… what… she… Yea I wish the numbers were better too. Especially for the cost.

@@DBCoffroad 😂😂😂

Yea I was thinking about pounding the tub. Does that work enough to matter?

Hi Chad, what offset do you have on your wheels? I'm considering going 35x10's as well and am still figuring out what offset is best for maximizing clearance

Thank you. Unfortunately I’m going overland. Got the front bumper now and rear should be in any day. I’m more about function that looks though. So we’ll see what happens. Thanks for watching!

@@DBCoffroad I can dig it. Overlanding is awesome. I guess what meant was rolling around in a Toyota with "raptor lights", empty fuel cans mounted on every window, and a rooftop tent that only gets used in your front yard for the gram!!!! Lol. I just like busting chops. Anyway your rig is awesome.

@@txrunroutdoors Haha. There are a lot of Mall Crawler Overlanders for sure.

Yes

@DBC Offroad if you are more about function than looks, I just got a 4runner and come from the backpacking and canoe tripping world. I would love to trade knowledge. For example, Roof Top tents are just ridiculous IMO. I have a 3 person tent that weighs 22 ounces, I can set it up about as quick as a RTT, it can take 60+ mph winds, I don't need to pack it up to drive off, and the sleep system inside weighs next to nothing - yet is comfortable. Everything fits in a backpack, on carry on, in a canoe, etc. To get good, light, comfortable gear you spend money, but compared to a RTT you save. Unless you are camping where crocodiles can't get up that high, a RTT is not for function. It just looks like a cool tree fort. Of course I also look at overland gear too and take the best from that world - I won't be using a tiny backpack stove for example. But, I've had ice cream 4 days into a 2 week canoe trip with dry ice, and steak at safe temps a week and a half in. So, IMO why get a tiny fridge requiring power, an extra battery, electric run, etc? Get a nice yeti or Rtic cooler. A new company called Canyon supposedly has a better design than yeti, and cheaper. And, you can leave it out of your vehicle if it is locked (I use a bolt/nut - if the lock gets jammed you are screwed, and if bears start using tools, we are all doomed) - less risk of a bear trying to tear open your car.

Hey thanks. Total Chaos Fabrication makes spindle gussets. A couple other companies do as well. I had Silver State Offroad weld them on when they did the gears.

Thanks for watching! I have -25 offset wheels. So they stick out a bit more. I have the ride height set where I like it. Driving on the pavement nothing really rubbed. It’s when the suspension articulated Offroad it caused problems. And I drive fast and want to crawl so I was going to have to clearance the fenders no matter what. This is just what worked for me. Thanks again!

If you’re not rubbing, are you even doing it right? 😂

I think if you run a 0 offset wheel you don't even need to BMC or correct of im wrong?

How do you like it? I might have to do a 1” body lift just to allow the full up travel of the suspension. Right now the bump stops are still spaced.

Thanks for comment! I like the excessiveness of having to do 35s. I don’t mind cutting and making it work. So I think it is worth it. If you don’t want to cut the fenders then go 33s/34s. ReGear is 100% worth it. Even if you just do 33s or 34s. I have 4.88 gears for the 35s but there are also 4.56 kits if you don’t want to go bigger. Gear install was about $1500. I also had them do the ARB Front locker. The ARB locker was $1049 + you have to get the compressor and compressor mount. Hope this helps. Thanks again for watching.

I totally agree. Most tires are slightly smaller than their claimed diameter. Like you said the 35” is really 34.8. Most people that put 34s on their Toyotas are really a 33.8 or something similar. I also agree with the offset. I have Relations Race Wheels RR6-H. They have a -25 offset (3.77” backspace) I like the slightly wider stance of the wheel/tire with -25. The Icon Rebounds I had previously were 0 offset (4.75” backspace). Even with these, trimming at full bump and lock would still be needed. Even after everything I’ve trimmed it’s still rubbing on the rear of the fender. 🤷🏻‍♂️ always a work in progress. The SPC upper arms help. From my research they help stuff a larger tire in the wheel well, at the sacrifice of altered Caster and slightly less front end handling. But I don’t have first hand experience with those. Again. It’s all an experiment. Shove some big tires under there and let me know how the experiment works out. I always want to learn more. Thanks for watching!

Yota for the win. Why 5.29s?

@@DBCoffroad it works well. i had 5.29 and inchworm gears setup and cases and i had 5.29 with 35'' 12.50 i might use the wizard to find out if 4.88 or 5.29, now i got about as much power as a fart. . believe me when i say i have had a few rock crawlers with arb front back. dual cases.. sometimes i just smoged a rig then sold it . to restart a build. now i got a nice silver 2000 3rd gen , with trailgear.marlincrawler,all pro parts and e locker. and my 5th gen just needs sliders, messed my 5th up bad on cadillac hill last year. that bolder i got hung up on

I haven’t ever really been a fan of a body lift. The rubbing isn’t bad enough on the firewall for me to be really concerned. And so far the extended bump stops are working well.

I hope so too!

What about gears?

Thanks! Yea I just realized the washer skid is rubbing at full lock to the left. 🤦🏻‍♂️

What kind of shocks or lift is on it?

I have a -25 offset. So the tires stick out more. Which is the main cause of needing to cut. I like the stance better than 0 offset wheels. If you want to know the technical details if they will fit, what Tinker's Adventure video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gqeJeseUsLmlY6M.html He breaks it down really well. Thanks for watching!

I just used a corded Ryobi angle grinder with a metal cutoff wheel. Seemed to work ok. www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-5-5-Amp-Corded-4-1-2-in-Angle-Grinder-AG4031G/205558109

Umm. I don’t regret the regear. 100% worth it. A 34” tire would fit perfect as well. So 34s are the best option with no rubbing. My 35s still rub a little on the firewall, body mount and washer tank skid. But having done it I wouldn’t go smaller. There’s just a little more trimming and I think I’ll be ok with it. The 35s climb rocks better than the 33s for sure. Just depends on what you want to do and how wild you want to get.

Oh and no body lift. I’m not a fan.

Thanks for watching! 34s 1. I’d still space the bump stops. My 33s would rub on the inner metal fender at full compression. 2. You could get away with less fender metal trimming. I have a -25 offset on my new wheels. The old Icon wheels had a 0 offset, which I think would be perfect for reducing the trimming for 34s. 3. You’ll still have to do the body mount chop. I think that’s just inevitable with anything larger than 33” tires. I think 34s are the Perfect size for the 4Runners. 33s are a smidge small. And 35s take a lot of work and are still a smidge big. Hope this helps!

@@DBCoffroad - that’s what I needed to know, thanks!

Very true. Wheel offset matters as well. I have -25 offset. So they stick out quite a bit more.

@@DBCoffroad same here. I’m running the SCS F5’s -38

I really like them. Donut Media's video is what got me interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecqjmZpmt6iXfIE.htmlsi=I-MRvzRuGFWOhRAm After watching it, I figured I'd give them a try. I'm a big fan of the Nitto Ridge grapplers but the Kenda RTs were so much less. I'm on my second set now. There's really only a few things I don't like: They are decent in snow, but they are not 3 Peak Snowflake rated so they are a little slippery on hard pack ice on pavement. The sidewall design is not my favorite. However, its super aggressive and protects really well against rocks when you air down. More than other offroad tires of similar Hybrid design. So it's really not a big deal. Honestly the only reason why I'd go with a different tire at this point is just the curiosity of trying something new/different. If I buy something else, I'd try the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs. Thanks!

@@DBCoffroadgotcha. Yeah the r/t is what I’ve been looking at. My ram Cummins has the 35” ridge grapplers and they’ve been great for towing my 40 foot fifth wheel across the country. I’ve considered the Baja boss, for the 4Runner but they are probably the heaviest tire out there. The Baja boss is also more expensive than my ridge grapplers. I’ve considered the max is razr at, but like the look of the r/t a little more. Thank you for the response.

Honestly not really. 32s are the biggest you can go without rubbing. When I put my 33s on the stock wheels, I had to trim about 1/4-1/2 inch off the front of the wheel well and take the mud flaps off. Its minimal trimming that no one would notice. If you are set on NOT trimming, just get a better 32" offroad tire and you will be good.

@@DBCoffroad appreciate the response. Thanks!

Just to avoid trimming?

Yea I agree. After having them for some time, I like them. I kind of want to frankenstein 37s in there somehow. haha

To each their own right? Don’t do 35s then. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A big factor that I didn't really go over was the Offset on the wheels. I have a -25 Offset which makes them stick out more. I'm not sure how much you would have to trim with a 0 Offset wheel. Other people have done 1" body lifts or similar and used SPC Adjustable upper control arms. Regardless, I think you would still have to trim a little. 34s are honestly the sweet spot for 4Runners.

Thanks for watching. It is a lot of work for sure. I didn’t mention in the video but the lower control arm is pushed as far forward as possible to make room for the larger tires. I also think wheel spacers or -35 would make the rubbing worse. Because then the tire would stick out more and contact the fender more. 0 offset/4.75”backspace wheels would rub the least. Except I just liked the additional stance of my -25 wheels. 34” would really be optimal. The upper control arms don’t matter so much unless you get the adjustable SPC arms.

Like OP said, definitely worse. I have -38 offset on uniball TC UCAs and I still rub on the back side and I’m only on 285/70/17.

The suspension upgrade is still worth it. 😉

Fox 2.5 DCS Suspension. It’s about 2.5”-3” up front.

Because I’m crazy and decided to cut. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Still can. #37s 😉

Wait…. What’s the question?

@@DBCoffroad I just don't see the need for 35 on a 4Runner and who wants to do a body chop and increase the roll over risk ? and who wants to re gear and get lousy MPG No question just my feelings

Perhaps. Depends what mods you like.

Cutting? I like the 35s. I’d maybe try a different offset wheel and upper control arm for different caster so I could cut less. But I’d still want to shove too much tire in a small wheel well.

That’s probably a better stopping point. 35s are a lot for the 4runner

Do you know how much Portals cost?

Yea 35s was a lot of work. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or put them on a wrangler….

@@RandomUser1668 Jeep fans unite!

I see you’re not a fan of cutting. To each their own right? Everyone mods their rigs to their own taste. What kind of lift is the 4” lift? I don’t like body lifts from seeing others have issues with them. Gaps. Bent bolts. Body shifting forward on the frame. But that doesn’t happen to everyone. So it just comes down to personal preference. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

@@DBCoffroad It's an Icon suspension with toytec body lift...haven't had any problems but I'm running BFG K02 AT 35x12.5 which aren't really 35"...they measure out right at 34" running 35psi. To me, it just seems wiser to implement a small body lift, in conjunction with some adjustable control arms or something along those lines as opposed to hacking away at your vehicle...as you said, to each their own.

@@brandonboseman4184 How do you like the Icon setup? Got any pics you could send to my IG?
