Love your stuff man. Thanks for the info. Best channel in San Jose / Santa Cruz hands down.
I got some new 1.5" wheel spacers for my FJ Cruiser lol. If you get good quality hub centric spacers and make sure everything is torqued to spec there will be no issues.
I agree about spidertrax. Only spacer i'd put on my 4runner. Hubcentric and chromoly steel studs. I'd trust it with my life! Had to pay almost 300 bucks for a set of 4 but it was worth it. Going for a conservative build like yours, most guys run 33s on the 3rd gen 4runner i'm going 32's with no lift for awhile.
I used those same spacers on a 4Runner. Didn’t use them for long at all, but they never gave my any concerns or issues. I had so much loctite on them it took a beating to get them off. Took them off because it’s a pain to remove them anytime you have to pull your brakes off
I went sparingly on the loctite cause i didn’t want any issues getting them off later.. it’s funny how most people are scared there going to fall off, but interestingly enough it’s actually hard to get them off if you installed them correctly.. 👍🏼
Looks good! I was thinking of getting wheel spacers, but friends were telling me not. But please let me know how the are very curious cause you yourself said your not a spacer guy. Thanks for the video. Looking forward what your next truck will be, 2022 tundra?
I’m insanely excited for the 2022..
Am thinking to do the same setup , but am thinking if they make a wheel negative so it would be no need for a spacer
Boiler wheel spacers are great too
Looks good! I have an 05 same color! Did you install the fog lights yourself? If so, is it true they are pre wired(plug and play)?
The fog lights were already on it.. but my 2012 tacoma and my 2012 tundra were both pre wired for fogs, back up camera.. etc.. 👍🏼
Like what you've done with it.
I know a guy with two 80 series Cruisers, one Toyota and one Lexus. He’s had both with 35’s on SpiderTrax wheel spacers for years. You’ll be fine.
Good to hear.. 👍🏼
Looks good and not way out there. What size spacers and brand? What was the offset of your tires?
Looking good !
Looks good
I'm somewhat new to the whole car mod thing. I want to add spacers on my 08 tundra but all I have is a regular wrench set. So you have any recommendations on a wrench set that shows the torque you are using?
Any half decent torque wrench will do, but you definitely want to torque wheel spacers.. also, it’s super important to buy quality wheel spacers, your life could depend on it.. i just have a Husky torque wrench, but even the Icon ones from Harbor Freight are pretty decent..
Here’s the link.. let me know if you ever get spacers, and how the installation went.. 👍🏼

@toyotafanatics1 will do! Definitely in the market for some. Any recommended brands?
Are they 1.5 or 1.25 inch?
I'm going to pick up a sequoia as well soon, what mod should I start off with that won't break the bank? Btw mine is completely stock
Good question..
i’m thinking either a leveling kit.. which is very inexpensive and will make it look better.. i’m not a huge fan of how there a bit lower in the front..
or some window tint... or maybe some stereo upgrades if your into that..
@@toyotafanatics1 thanks I might start with tinting the windows out first, then a leveling kit. I have some all terrain tires on already.
@@Outcast_Family OME lift its the best way to go man! Totally recommend for this first gen tundras/sequoias, the ride is so smooth and it looks so cool!
I hope 😭
Would anyone know whether 1" spacers will allow the lug bolts to clear the spacer recesses on a 2012 Tundra setup. I want to keep the spacer width to a minimum to prevent stress on the wheel bearings that the Tundras are known to have issues with. 1.25" would look better but I'd try the 1" if the lug bolts clear the spacer without hitting the hub and having to shave the bolts. Anyone tried this without issues?
From what i have read on some forums, you shouldn’t have any problems at all.. i agree the spacers are no good for the wheel bearings, but a 1 inch spacer would definitely make it look a little better and probably won’t compromise wear too much.. go for it.. 👍🏼
I’ve had those same spacers on my Sequoia for over a year. Just lock them in with red loctite and you’re good to go. You’ll actually probably need a hammer to get them off, at least that was my experience.
very good to hear.. 👍🏼
Any updates on those spacer ?? Any issues ??
No issues at all. Spidertrax are the best.. 👍🏼
Sorry if I missed it but are these 1.25 or 1.5 spacers?
They are the 1.25’s.. 👍🏼
What offset are those wheels?
There a -18 offset
Did you lose any turning ratio?
It doesn’t appear so.. it’s been a few thousand miles with no problems at all.. i really hope i don’t have any now that i just said that.. 👍🏼
Have you noticed any handling difference?
Absolutely none, it might have even improved a bit because of the wider “stance” for lack of a better term.. It handles decently for being a 5,300 lb behemoth on 33’s.. but nothing to write home about.. As far as improvements in the Looks Department.. 1000% better.. Just buy quality spacers (Spidertrax) and you’ll be good to go! 👍🏼
@@toyotafanatics1 looking to put them on my 03 stock wheels. Do you think the spacers will have the same look/effect of stance even though the wheels aren’t as wide or beefy?
Right now I have 4 sets of Spidertrax spacers on my Toyota’s, 88’ Runner, 99 Tacoma, 06’ Tundra and 16’ 4Runner, and they are completely the last thing I worry about.
Spidertrax spacers and Factory wheels are stronger than any other aftermarket wheel.
Sequoia has a nice stance 👍🏻
Very good to hear.. you definitely sound like a fellow Toyota Fanatic.. 👍🏼
1" , quality part , carefully installed ... you'll be fine
Me and my father put wheel spacers on my t100
I did the same. I'm running 1.25 inch BORA spacers.
I’ve heard BORA spacers are definitely high quality.. 👍🏼
Nice.. and you’ve never had any issues?
@@toyotafanatics1 nope all good so far !
you had to do a alignment i just put 2" spacer on mine and vibrates on high speed
That’s a bummer you have vibrations, which kind of spacers did you install? Maybe you could move them around to different wheels, i’ve actually heard that can eliminate vibrations!
What size and type of wheels?
There made by Black Rhino.. the style is called Roku.. there 17x9.5
Did you get the 12 or -18?
Over 5 years of abuse, no problems at all
Good to hear, i can’t believe people run sketch amazon ones when there’s safe quality ones out there 🤷♂️!
Wheres the Cute wife? lol
She’ll be back soon..
What size are those tires? I may have missed if but its late and my wife can't take anymore Toyota shit.
I absolutely loved this comment.. I know this scenario well.. i make my poor wife watch automotive content until she finally says “OK i’m Done”
The tires are 285/70/17.. basically a 33
IMO, you're too cheap. If your safety is a major concern, get the proper wheel for your situation. Yes, it may cost more but what value do you put on your life or maybe even others?
