    Can you add a set of TPMS sensors 17 4R?

    Did the exact same thing. The newer 4Runners can handle two sets of codes and/or learn on their own, but the 2017 has 4 codes to match 4 TPMS. Get programable TPMS in your new wheels to match the original four from the factory. No need to get anything reprogrammed or flashed after that. If...

    TPMS question

    I had the same in my 2017 Limited. All of my TPMS sensors are aftermarket, since I changed wheels. It would blink then go steady, but not everyday. I added some air, and it went out for a week. Somewhere online or in the manual, it says that blinking is bad or dying sensor and steady on is...

    4Runner hot wheels finally coming!!!

    Found one on eBay and painted the wheels to match the real one. FYI, the model one has the rear window half way down.

    2017 Limited TPMS info FYI

    Always knew there were five physical sensors on the Limited. Reminded every time the spare needs a top off in negative 20 weather. The discussion was are there four channels and four different codes (spare has a duplicate), or five channels and five different codes in 2017 if you have the...

    2017 Limited TPMS info FYI

    Just an FYI on TPMS, four codes versus five codes (spare tire) and different year changes. Under the category of learn something new everyday. I know it is the internet, but I am going to admit I was wrong. The dealer and tire shops have told me for years that my 2017 Limited can only read...

    Fog light film

    I put yellow H16 PIAA bulbs in and clear film to protect from rocks. The yellow light is great in snow and ice fog, but not great since you cannot turn off the white headlights and run only yellow fogs.

    Need Advice re: Changing Wheels (from 20 to 17) on 2012 4Runner Limited

    I switched my 20-inch wheels to SR5 wheels for winter tires, then decided to go to a different set of newer SR5 wheels when I went back to summer. Sold the 20-inch wheels and tires. Everything was easy with the stock tire sizes. I had a tire shop clone the four TPMS sensor codes to the winter...

    Limited tire swap to 17s?

    Needed to get a set of winter wheels and tires, so we got some SR5 wheels and 17-inch tires. When Spring came, we didn't want to go back to 20-inch tires, so we got another set of newer SR5 wheels. See this link: Time for Winter Tire Changeover 2017 LE

    5th Gen Wheel & Tire Thread

    That is the perfect color combo. Never liked the blue until now with the white wheels. That just screams "fun".

    need all weather tires: 2019 limited

    Here are a couple of threads that discuss two sets of wheels, TPMS codes and calibration, etc. You may have a TPMS sensor in your spare. I have two sets of 17 inch Toyota wheels now. Blizzaks in winter are great with all the electronics on the AWD Limited. Summer are Bridgestone; we live on a...

    Tire pressure sensor in spare

    I am sure it does (2017 Limited). Yes, Toyota can only read four codes; it is a copy of one of the other four codes. Had the light come on last winter. Checked all four and they were good. Checked the spare, and it was low. Topped it off and light went out. Visually, you can see that the...

    Tire pressure sensor in spare

    We have always put the spare inside the truck. Did this on my 84 4Runner, Blazer, Yukon, and now our 17 4Runner Limited, which has a TPMS. Takes up some cargo space, but is always warm, pressurized, clean, and easy to get to. A friend at work had a flat on his 2016 Ford, and the spare was...

    Interesting - KO2 Tire Pressure per BFG site

    The "P" to "LT" is correct, and a bigger tire will hold more air. More air (volume) is not more pressure, though. Actually, a bigger tire can have a larger load rating at the same pressure. It has more air (volume) to hold up the weight, and doesn't always need more pressure, if they are both...

    Interesting - KO2 Tire Pressure per BFG site

    Because at negative 20 degrees outside, the pressure quickly drops to where it should be or lower. I set the PSI in the garage; I drive outside. From my garage to the outside can change the pressure almost 10 PSI down.
