Thanks for making this video, give us ideas how to changes the wheel studs on our tacoma. i have aftermarket wheels on my tacoma, makes me worried every time because little bit off the thread bits the lug nuts.. great video thank you.
Thank you for the video excellent information, a few weeks ago I purchased a 2023 Tacoma, the rims on it are dark gray and I want to get rid of the chrome lug nuts, would you happen to know the part number of the OEM non-chrome ones.
noob question but can i ask how you safety shifted your gear to neutral to rotate the wheel to remove multiple studs? i wanna do this but scared that once the car is in neutral it'll roll off from the jack or stands
Just make sure you block off the rear tires in both front and rear of the tires with a tire stop, brick, 4x4 piece of wood, etc - both passenger and driver side tires. SAFETY FIRST!
How much excess room did you end up with inside your lug nuts? I need to swap my studs as well but, I’m scared they’re going to max out my lug nuts (I also have similar aftermarket wheels and lug nuts). I currently get 7-8 turns on the stock studs
@@loganrodgers3193 of if I can recall there was about 1/4” - 3/8” extra room inside the lug nuts. I’ve switched out the tuner style lugs and went with McGard hexagonal lugs. Much more robust for a truck.
Yeah man it's ridiculous how short they are even stock. On the trd pro 4RUNNER rims not much thread to grab on with stock lug nuts to. Not ok with that🤦♂️
Your aftermarket lug nuts may be the problem. There are conical lug nuts with and without a collar. The variety with the collar has a centering function and add additional thread if they fit the inner diameter of your wheels stud holes. I faced a similar issue and realized the elegant inexpensive solution for my circumstance was the collared nut. Hope that helps folks.
Any chance you tried these with the OEM wheels and lug nuts to see if they would still work? Planning something similar but keeping the stock wheels for dealer visits…concerned those longer smooth collars will interfere with the stock lug nuts
I believe the Tacoma lugs are not deep enough. However I got some 4runner lugs at the yard which are OEM ET style which is slightly longer. I need to take dimensions as I have (6) in the cab for in case of a flat - otherwise I may need to carry a 1/2"" wheel spacer for the spare.
@@randomrebuilds yeah I’m planning on buying either longer OEM style or open ended ones for the spare. More concerned about the part of the lug that goes into a wheel. I may just go ARP all around
