I have a 3rd gen 4runner, it's amazing driving this vehicle 25 yrs old, no issues ever, 2nd owner since 2006
Absolutely. Mine sat for 4 years so I had come kinks to work out. Replaced the gas tank, gas pump, fuel filter, replaced some fuses, new battery, net spark plugs, new suspension (shocks, springs, upper control arms, extended sway bar links), new tires and wheels, new lower ball joints, new Tundra brakes and braided brake lines, new timing belt, thermostat and water pump, new aluminum radiator, external transmission cooler, changed all the fluids. So I've put lots of maintenance work into it, but now that I have it where it is, I'd be willing to drive it across the country. No issues at all.
Running Icon 2.5” lift on my third gen with 0 offset 17” Stadium wheels and 285/70R17 C rated Wildpeaks AT3/W tires with the Icon delta joint UCAs. I was getting a bit of rubbing also on my running boards but what I found was that it would hit the bolts on my running boards. I just tightened the bolts since it was loose and no more rubbing
Nice! That's a good look. Agree on the SPC. Lot's of range there. Same re: Tundra, able to clear 285s with no rubbing.
Thanks! Yeah, it was no problem with the Tundra/Sequoia. The 4Runner took a little more work.
Take of the running boars off the 4Runner better clearance and looks more lifted/aggressive
Eventually will be sliders but for right now, I'm keeping the running boards.
You can also get a lug centric lug nut with the bore shoulder also
Looks good got Rock sliders on all of my 4runners they do help with tire clearence
you can get more forward wheel movement adjusting the lower control arms for max caster; moving rear adjuster out, forward adjuster in, and then use the SPC arms to dial in the camber. That is what I did on my Tundra to clear 285s without and rubbing.
I dont think so
Once you cut the plastic it will expose the pinch weld. If you haven’t already, you will need to do that mod where you need to bang it out flat so it doesn’t catch your tire. This is a must. If you are still rubbing you can change your stock bump stops with DuroBumps. Lastly, 3” coils, but def a pain since you already have a pair on the front. It does help a bit. So something to think about biting the bullet later. Since you have UCAs already just get best ideal spacing and alignment and you should be butter with lil to no rub. Unless you are stuffing it or at full flex which is expected. Lookin great so far though. (4Runner 3rdGen is the BestGen 😉👍)
Thanks! I haven't cut it yet. So far I'm satisfied with the minimal rubbing in reverse. But yes, I'm not afraid to hammer the pinch weld if necessary. I just changed the lower ball joints, added Tundra brakes and steel brake lines and had a leaky boot, so that was replaced too. I'll probably do the timing belt this weekend or next and replace the PCV valve and I'm going to call it a day with the maintenance and front end. Down the road we're adding bumpers. When that happens, I'll switch to a 650 or 700 pound spring in the front and may use that opportunity to swap out the suspension completely, but until then, I'm very happy with it.
Both of them wheels on the sequoia and the 4runner are nice
Do you have the specs of the Lift you have on the 3rd gen?
better off with a 255 85r16 or 25580r17 taller and narrower - they pretty much average a true 33 mounted unlike thoes 275s! good video.
Thanks. These are actually 285/70/17. 0.15" shy of a 33.
What’s up Josh
Yo!!
Omg 🙌🙌😍
I really want the tall skinny 255/85r16 but the tire options suck except for the BFG km3 which is 330$ a tire? Wtf?!!
Yeah, KM3s are pricy. I have a set on my 04 Tundra. But they are awesome!
hell yeah!
That's what I said!
Love the first gen Sequoia.
Hopefully I'll have one for the stable soon. I need three rows now.
Have a 3rd and a 5th gen 4runner currently. Love both, won't get rid of them.
That's my problem too. I love them all! LOL!
@@1stgenoffroad my biggest regret when it comes to cars is getting rid of a TRD 1st gen Tundra when I had my daughter 12 years ago.
It was so beautiful and that V8 in that little truck seemed so powerful at the time.
Ever since then, I swore I'd never get rid of a great car if I didn't absolutely need to.
I still have a modified mazdaspeed 3, that I keep for when the gas prices are high (NOW), or when I wanna hit the twisties in the weekend.
But nothing in my opinion beats the 90's-early 2000's Toyotas.
@@txrunroutdoors 100%!
Thanks for all the great info over the years my man
Hey brother, we can all learn from each other. Might weld my own bumper because of you!
@@1stgenoffroad Get on it! Just don't set your truck on fire like I did 😜
I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia that I just put a 3" lift on. I'm looking to get 17" rims and was wondering if I should do an offset of -6 or -12 I want to avoid rubbing the tires on the wheel well
Either one will work. I think the -12 might work a little better.
Really good video answering questions I didn't even know I had. One question though. Do I need an alignment after adjusting caster if everything else is equal?
Technically, adjusting the caster does change the camber, so alignment afterward is a good idea.
Looks great man. I have a stock 3rd gen and I’m looking to get a similar set up like yours, but I don’t want to deal with any rubbing or trimming. Would 275/70 on 2.5” lift have enough clearance? And do I need to do anything with the offset? I also have a 2wd. I’m new so anything helps lol. Thank you
Hi Gary, 275/70/17 would fit on 2.5" of lift without trouble. An offset of around 0 would be perfect.
Thank you
Question somewhat related to this video. I’m a total newbie so please feel free to roast me if I deserve it but this is what I’m wondering about, if I lift my front end on an 04 sequoia for any reason when I set it down it sits about a full inch or more higher then settles after the first drive.
Is that settling due to worn springs or is it just the nature the beast? I would love if it stayed at the height when it first comes off the jack. Thank you
Yeah, it's that the axle droops when it's on the jack. When you drop it down, the axle/tires are still tucked inward because the tires can't move out. But as soon as you drive a few feet, the tires are allowed to move outward and the lift comes down.
@@1stgenoffroad Thank you, you are like the encyclopedia for these vehicles.
@@bripro68 👊
Im new to off-roading. What do you mean by fitting 33”? Are you referring to the tire profile, I’ve been trying to figure this out lol
Welcome to off roading! When folks say "33" tire" they mean how tall the tire is. These tires are 33" tall (they're actually about 32.8" tall, close enough).
Gotcha thank alot. This video helped me a lot as I am trying to figure out what size tires to go with for my 4run. Is the 33” the tallest to go without re gearing?
@@backdoorprofessor2150 Yeah. It will take a lot more work to fit larger tires and you'd probably want to re-gear too. No need to re-gear with the 285/70/17 tires.
Get rid of the running boards and do a paint correction.
Running boards are coming off for rock sliders. I kinda like the faded paint.
Really like the 4runner series. You need to put out more vids. Thanks for the step by step on the lift.
You need a three to four inch lift to fit 33's by 12 and 1/2 on a 15 rim
I got 285/70/17 on a 2.5" lift with -6 offset wheel. Not too high. Not too low.
@@1stgenoffroad you got a good lift height 2.5. And Dobinson is good stuff
Do I need to change up the gears if I was put 35s
It does okay with 33s. Haven’t tried to tow yet but I don’t think it would do great. Personally, if I went with 35s, I would re-gear.
Now you need to fit 35s
And a regear.
Hey Josh I need some advice I switched to Bilstein 5100 shocks about a year ago with original springs on the second clip to level out my truck.
I have jba upper control arms mag lower control arms and old man emu855 springs on the way to get rid of my preload.
My question is will I need to get an add a leaf to level the truck or will 855 springs give me the same amount of lift as OEM springs on the second clip I have about 2 in of lift right now.
What truck is it going on?
@@1stgenoffroad 2004 tundra 4x4 access cab
@@albertballa You'll get around 2.5" of lift on the bottom notch of the Bilsteins. In most cases, that will make the Tundra level, but it depends on how worn out the rear leaf springs are.
@@1stgenoffroad Hey that helps out a lot ! one more question if you don't mind. Once i install my 285 70 17 on stock limited rims and my suspension parts will i rub ? and if i do a hub centric spacer is required correct ?
@@albertballa That size tire will rub on the frame when turning the wheel all the way to the left or right. And that's regardless of how high you lift it. I would add a 1.25" wheel spacer or switch to a wheel with a negative offset.
Dude never said the tire size for the tires he swapped to the squakya
Both tires are the same size. 285/70/17. The 4Runner ended up with the 17"x8.5" Fuel Anza with a -6 offset. The Sequoia ended up with the Fuel Ammo, 17"x9" with a -12 offset.
@1stgenoffroad nice. The tires for some reason that you swapped to the Sequoyah looked bigger. Maybe it's just the width of the rims is all.
