Hefty Fabworks Skids on 2022 Limited Just finished installing a full set of Hefty Fabworks aluminum skid plates on my 2022 Limited. They fit perfectly with no cutting or modifications. Only issue was with the gas tank skid steel bracket near the rear wheel was 3/4" too short. I simply...

I just removed mine from my 2022 Limited which was required to install my Hefty skid plates. But the part I removed is attached to the factory steel engine skid plate and has a small rectangular opening in the center directing are to the skid plate which has a wire mesh screen before the air is...

That's why I bought 17" rims with the same offset as the stock 20" rims hoping to minimize the chances of tire rubbing and give me a better selection of tires to choose from.

I really like the performance of my 2022 LE with the 20" wheels - gas mileage is somewhat better than advertised and pulling my small travel trailer in the mountains is good so I am hesitant about increasing the tire overall diameter. I understand the tire weight will also play a role in the...

When I took my stock Limited with the 20" wheels offroad last year in Colorado, I was mostly concerned with tire damage. Since I did not have off road tires or aftermarket skid protection, I was very careful and did not have any problems although there were some scuff marks on the tire...

They are on my list too. Per specs they would be 11" wide on 8" rim per BFG specs which is wider than the OEM 20" set up. As I mentioned, I was thinking the narrower 9" would have a couple advantages. I guess the wider 265/70/R17 being an OE size would not cause rubbing issues on a 15mm...

I bought 5 Toyota 17" x 7.5" rims with 15mm offset to install a set of all terrain tires to use when traveling to go offroad, mostly in Colorado. All other times I will keep the stock 20" set on the vehicle. I'm partial to BFG All Terrain tires since I've gone through 3 sets on my 1996 Ford...

Just learning about 16" not clearing calipers, didn't know that but was discounting 16" any way. I was intending only considering wheels with +15mm offset to keep the tire positioned same as the original 20" Limited tire/rim combination and keeping the tire width and height same or very near...

Finally, after months of trying I have landed a 2022 Limited 4Runner without third row seating and running boards. Should be available next week. I intend to add rock sliders and aftermarket skid plates and have been investigating replacement wheels for the Limited 20” wheels to use off road...

I was hoping to buy one for my soon to be 4Runner. I have a front receiver hitch on my 1996 Bronco and it's super for navigating trailers into garages and other tight spaces that would be very difficult or impossible with just a rear receiver hitch plus I could use my winch on the front or...

That's good to hear how well the ATRAC works which for me would be nice not to have to upgrade the standard open rear differential of a Limited.

Sorry but I disagree. The full time 4 wheel drive has it's place off-road which in my mind is typical Colorado type rocky roads with switch backs where many times has good traction but the sharp turn requires the front and rear drive shafts to turn at different speeds to negotiate the turn...

Apparently that's almost the same for lockers too. I don't own a 4Runner yet, waiting for the 2022 to buy a Limited. Since the Limited is not available with a factory rear locker, I started this thread assuming there was a selection of aftermarket lockers available that would fit a 2022...

Anyone seen a 4Runner front bumper set up with a 2 inch receiver hitch instead of hidden winch? I have a front 2 receiver on my '96 Bronco and can use my winch on the front or rear plus it's great when pushing a trailer into a tight space or garage using the front hitch.

The main reason I lean toward the auto locker in the rear is it's on all the time but does not cause undue stress on the drive train when traction is restored and you are turning. With a selectable locker you must turn it on when you lose traction whereas with the auto locker it does it's thing...
