Thank you. I discovered that cut in my Pro, and many people didn't know about it.

awesome video! it's a great lesson for people who are doing a viper cut. the plier method is really good and overlapping cuts like in the TSB help to make it clean!

@VikingsGarage 3 ай бұрын

Absolutely!! Full cuts could cause the paint to crack. I appreciate your support!! 🤘🏻

I'm installing 285/70's tomorrow when my rims arrive and this definitely will help on my TRD ORP. Thanks.

Very good job. I added 275 70 17s with wheels zero offset. Very minimal trimming and used a heatgun to push the linner slightly back.

Subbed a while ago. I didn’t even own a 4Runner. I just liked your videos. I just purchased my wife a 2024 premium’s 4wd in the underground color. 3rd row, softex seating, heated seats and moonroof. I almost want to trade my 21 tundra CrewMax 4x4 for one lol.

So she doesn’t want to lift it. It’s pretty much a mall crawler lol. Except we go to the snow, camping and fishing alot. With stock height she’s looking at some AT tires. She had the Ko2 on her 2020 RAV4 and. What’s the biggest she can go with no rub? Non TRD. Ko2 Woldpeak at3 Toyo open country “”” She’s getting those same bronze heritage wheels.

Much appreciated for your support!! Get 285’s and do this bumper chop and you will be golden. Keep in mind that even in the stock form these 4Runners are very capable. 💪🏻

When I put my 285’s on (they were also on wheels with a negative offset. May not be bad on OEM positive offset) I had to cut not only a large part from the front, but also a BMC and large amounts from the rear of the wheel well as well. Oh- and had to remove the front Mudflaps. It was a HUGE cut job. But…. It’s done. No regrets and it’s much better.

Good stuff. My 21’ TRD ORP came with the XP Predator Pkg, a southeast port package, with TRD Pro wheels and 265/70R17 Nitto ridge grapplers. I’m wondering if the first owner had this done already as my tires don’t rub, that I’ve noticed. I’ll be checking mine in the morning for sure lol appreciate the content! PS Put my beautiful Vikings garage patch on the rear of my back seat where I put all my patches, so the jealous drivers behind me can read them all when my rear window is down lol God bless~ Chandler~

Working hard here to get my silver 2018 TRD ORP to "PRO Spec"! Thanks for all the insightful videos! One thing I would love to do is match the black overlays on the back (Logo and 4RUNNER) to the letters on the front pro grille. I did get the OEM garnish. Those TOYOTA letters look different w every change of the light, any insights??? I'm looking towards 1H1 (Predawn Gray), 1E9 (Galactic Gray Mica) or maybe MGM 1G3 is closer?

I just bought a 2024 TRD pro and mine never rubbed not even offroading once fast forward I'm now on OME BP51's with 285/70R17's with the stock TRD wheels and still don't rub? 🤷‍♂️

@tylerrr. Ай бұрын

I need to do this. When backing out of my driveway if my wheel is fully turned or close to it it will always rub. Sometimes it happens in drive while at full turn but not nearly as often. Definitely happens every time I bust a U'ee though and it's annoying AF.

Which side of the Irwin pliers is the "red" side? And why does it matter which side is on the bumper painted side?

Thank you sir!!! Do you think 285 70 17 or 255 80 17 would fit without a lift?

@VikingsGarage 3 ай бұрын

Definitely 285, although I would recommend a 1 inch lift with it. not sure on the other size.

On your red 4runner you swapped the mirrors with heated Rav4 Canadian mirrors with a convex section of mirror. Is there a version of this for the 2020+ with BMS? Will you be adding it to the new 4Runner?

Not that I’m aware off. You would loose the BSM

Viking and Company, I could use some real world 4runner advice. My fam is considering nabbing one of these final 5th gens. Narrowed it down to the Offroad Premium, Offroad Premium with KDSS, or the TRDPro. Resale value is meaningful, though we do keep vehicles for the long term. Mostly on-road and light trail performance prioritized. No major offroading or modification intended at this time (perhaps mods in future), but we like to have serious get-out-of-a-jam capability just in case. How would you rate these three options?

@VikingsGarage 3 ай бұрын

In order of personal preference: - off-road premium -TRD PRO I personally would stay away from KDSS. Good luck with your purchase and enjoy!!

I have a 23 SR5 Premium with Matt black TRD pro newer style rim/concave design . Just swapped the stock Bridgestone dueler on that rim. No aggressive threads. Haven't noticed any rubbing. Maybe this only happens with tires with aggressive treads. Can you chime in. Thanks for the heads up!

@VikingsGarage 9 күн бұрын

It is only on certain type of tire tread + only will do it in reverse at full tilt.

@teddynaicker2997 9 күн бұрын

Thanks Bro. I already checked it today after watching your video. At full lock up my gap is like after your trimming. Not even close to rubbing. Also I try not to fully lock up my wheels as I was told by a experienced mechanic that it's not good for your power steering pump. Thank you!

Can you tell when you get a 4Runner in for repair, people who take really good care of their car? Like I detail my engine once a month and I wonder if I ever took it in if the mechanic would notice
