I think the sweet spot for most folks is the 285/75/17 aka the 34". Looks bigger than the 33" but doesn't have all the hassle like a 35" does. Great video!

Been on the fence about upgrading to 35's or keeping my 33's. Thank you. I will be staying with 33's 😂

i like the way you vlog Zak.we are thesame.trying out brands that realy work and comparing each other which is the best...

I got the 21LB SCS F5 rims and 265/70/r17 XL Baja Boss AT tires. For what I do it is a great combo. Nice and light!

The weight comparisons you did are great and super helpful. Lightweight anything pays for itself in dividends over time, especially wheels/tires. Sub 20lb wheels aren’t hard to find these days and the only way to get lightweight mud or AT tires is to go skinny which I don’t hate

I just recently got 285/75R16 MT Baja Boss AT's for my 1st gen sequoia, running on Series 80 LC rims, have 1 inch spacers up front for caliper clearance and frame clearance, 2 inch OME/Bilstein 5100 lift from all dogs. Loving them for sure, they definitely are hefty but about as hefty as the K02's I just got rid of on the same rims. Handles great, especially in the wet, and are way quieter. With balancing I am going with balancing beads here shortly as I requested them at discount tire but alas they don't carry balance beads so. Reason why I want to go to that is its a better dynamic balance and also don't have to worry about throwing weights or the tire shifting on the rim while aired down. I went to the MT's because of a friend with a 4Runner went to them and has done a lot of back country driving in dirt, mud, and snow in the cascades and east of the cascades here in Oregon and he loves them for the traction above all else. I did have to go with E rated tires due to being a chunky boi of a rig that the Sequoia is lol but means less issues down the line... BTW link to the recommended channel for the traction comparison?

Possible to go with 33’s a mild lift, aftermarket upper control arm and not rub with TRD Pro wheels? Also I assume a regear is not needed for 33’s? Thanks again.

I really appreciate what you're doing here. I've run MT-BB ATs and love them. I guess the question is, is it worth going from 34" to 35" tires? You gain, at most, 0.5" in ground clearance and you might gain weight along with all the other mechanical considerations that come into play with larger diameters, negative offsets and heavier, unsprung weight. I do think that "pizza cutters" are worth looking at for a few reasons and Kai goes into that really well. I think that keeping the lift below 3" and maintaining a 0 or +4 offset, while not as "sexy" looking provides a number of practical advantages over the "burly" look. Regardless of which direction one pursues, the hit to the bank account is roughly the same. :)

Could you send the link for the c4 fender liner kit for 4Runner 5th gen ? Thanks in advance.

Tried a few setups and have become a pizza cutter believer. 255/80 r17 for me.

Great Video again! We are so much alike in our setups and what I have done. I just recently went from a 285/70 Hankook MT (too loud!!) to a 285/75 Ko2, love them, and no noise! But, the rub is back again, on the pinch welds, so time to cut, bang and grind again!! Those new wheels are sweet, bead locks make no sense to me unless you are locking both beads and running Baja 400s or something. Have you considered Total Chaos long travel race kits? I am looking at those to get some 35s more clearance, very pricey with new axles and all, but I am considering.

It would be easier to clear larger size tires if you go with zero offset or even positive offset. The MT BAJA AT in 255/85/17 is an interesting size that I would like to see more videos on.

I was curious how you found theRS7-S wheels(more like if theres an accessible weight database somewhere?). Sorry if i missed it, listening at work.

The answer, even for 33s, if you can handle load range E, is the 255/80 size. Very light, no problems from width

Any word when C4 is coming out with the 4Runner kit for the 4Runner to the public?

4.88:1 makes sense with 35’s. How much does your vehicle weigh? Rooftop tent, awning? Thanks again. I think lots of folks don’t consider a regear when they should.

Have you ever considered the cooper evolution MT? Only 64lbs for a mud terrain for a 35. That’s what I’m gonna run once I’m done with my 285/75/17’s.

What did you think of the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003, I think I seen you run those? I'm doing 285/75/17's and was looking into these but haven't really heard any feedback on them.

did you consider portal axel kit from werewolf? expensive but solves all the issues with bigger tires...

What is your MT Baja boss aired up to on the regular ?

the baja boss are heavy AF, running a 295/70/18 on my f150, great tires alkl around and in the snow, mud etc but they are heavy

Did you use the Tacoma Fender liner from C4, on your 4runner?

That sound you hear in the background are Jeep owners laughing uncontrollably. :)))

Great content as usual. Personally, I think the 35s look real nice but the hassle of doing all the extra stuff is just not worth it, plus costly and compromise reliability on the rig. My 2c.

on 34s now and can exchange for 35s and debating if its worth the hassle for the extra inch of height specially when I can get em for the same price lol

I plan to go to 34s after much research.

So I just bought a 2023 0RP yesterday and I’m looking forward to the modding process. I come from jeep wrangler family and I don’t understand how the 4runner gets such bad fuel mileage. I averaged mid 16s with 37‘s in a Rubicon gladiator. I will say the Toyota is significantly more comfortable on the road!

Is your old RRW wheels for sale?

Pizza cutter 35’s is the ticket but it’s not social media worthy.

Great video, but tire poke is dumb, just throws ricks and kids down the side of the vehicle.

Kinda funny how many overlanders are realizing how freaking heavy all their rigs are and are now discovering the wonders of keeping things as light as possible. A decade of social media trends made everyone overload their trucks with 200 lbs tens, 600 lbs of armor,100 lb tires, on every corner, 300 lbs of drawers and fridges, all before they even put their 200 lbs bodies inside the truck. Just so they can drive to a campsite that most stock Subaru Crosstreks could get to. Hybrid tires come to mind as well. Seems the trend is to make it look as aggresive as possible, just for looks, while they all perform ever slightly better than an AT, while all weight 20 lbs more. Pretty much all hybrids aren't even 3 peak rated. Hope this trend continues. Hopefully this pushes manufacturers to keep giving us lighter and lighter options.

Not gonna lie I’m a little disappointed. I’m running 33s and your title eluded to this being a video about 33 vs 35 but it was mostly 35 vs 35 and wheel vs a different wheel….

Wider is better.
