I know this is a dated response, but it's what I'm researching right now. I personally love the look of 255's on the 5th gen and that's the direction I'm going. Were you looking to add spacer for the look or to help with rubbing/fit? I assumed the slightly narrower tire would be an easier fit...

That looks great. Same color too. Are those the stock tire size (265/70)? Just tying to picture the look I'm going for.

What size tires are people using with the OME lift/suspension? I generally like the look and snow/mud performance of a narrower tire (255/75r17) at 32" but it seems like most are using 285's to get a 33. If using the 285's are there any other mods necessary to fit the tire in? Wonder if 255's...

I have a '14 T4R Trail (KDSS). Stock, it sits with over 1.5" drop in the front. I see that some people level with Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to leveling with the adjustable shocks over just putting a permanent 1 - 1.5" spacer on the front. If I use a...

Seriously? You know exactly what I'm talking about. I love when pretentious people try to give advice and assume we're all small little common folk.

I totally appreciate the difference between an MT and AT tire. I guess I thought it was size that was being pointed out as a non-upgrade from stock. I prefer a 255 or narrower sticking close to the 32" diameter. If my rig has a CAI then it's encapseled in some sort of freak factory package that...

Definitely not interested in bling...I can hold off on the fuzzy dice. The air intake and exhaust, as other posters said, worked well on other vehicles so I assumed it would benefit on the 4runner. Apparently not? Just the air intake alone on my manual transmission Xterra worked wonders. I...

Recovery gear for sure. And now after having my rig for a couple weeks, I can comfortably say that the suspension it at the top of my enhancement list. It's awfully soft and dips with braking more that I like. I looked at OME but on the 4Runner it's a 3" lift and I really don't need that much...

Agreed and I'm happy to be part of the club. Thanks for everyone's help.

My trailer can go in some pretty rough places. It's an expedition trailer with 32" M/T Tires, independent suspension, and built like a tank. For clarification; when I say I want performance, I'm talking about responsive power, not speed. I'm not very impressed how sluggish the 4Runner is with...

I'm new to T4R life with my new '14 4Runner Trail, coming from an Xterra. Since I haven't determined any specific weaknesses or needs yet, I was hoping I could get some help with the priorities in modifying the off-road and towing performance with this rig. I want power, hauling ability (we...

I really appreciate the help! Sound like it will work great and verifies my first impression of the back seat. I'll definitely be avoiding the sun roof. This is my daily driver and will only have the family packing in for weekend off-road camping trips. Not looking for luxury. Just need to...

The new Sequoias are certainly not an off-roadable vehicles. I had an '06 Sequoia and the old models were great and modifiable and wish they didn't change the design. Unfortunately those are old enough that any old style Sequoia are maxed out with mileage. I'm struggling to find a true off road...

I'm ditching my Xterra off-road project, before I waste any more $ on her. My growing boys (already 5'9" - twins) were totally cramped in the backseat for the last 3 hour camping drive. I've had a 4Runner Trail on my list since I almost talked my wife into getting one for our primary car but...
