4runner TRD Pro

Just curious, why did you do this? What disappointed you about the LE?

Long story short, I didn't have time to wait on a TRD Pro when I got the LE. Then a TRD Pro became available.

My experience with the LE...

Great Lexus like luxurious interior, lots of tech but bit of a floaty ride, rather too disconnected from the road for me. I found myself looking at suspension mods to level it and to get bit more feedback. Then after leveling it, the stock LE wheels and tires would look odd. Everyday I thought about the grille mods.

At the end of the day, the total of all the mods I wanted to do on the LE to be happy long term weren't that far off from the difference.

The TRD Pro... I can leave it stock, just add tint and nfab bars that I can remove and down the road, be able to sell it faster relative to an extensively modded LE. So far am happy with the decision.
 
Best bet is on the passenger side. If you put it on the drivers side and in the future get an after market roof rack and ladder you will have to move it.

I test drove a 4Runner LE as well. I inquired about the TRD Pro and dealer said right away we cannot get one. They're sold out. blah blah etc. It's very difficult to get your hands on one.

So, I emailed Toyota regarding that I wanted a TRD Pro in White and 10 min later someone from a dealer emailed me telling me in 2 weeks will be getting one in super white.
(Exactly the color I wanted)

Same day...and now its on order and my 2016 will be here in 10 days. Cant wait! First one off the ship to CA.

It will be worth the wait! Congrats.
 
Anyone have aftermarket wheels and tires on their trd pro? If so, please post the size of wheels and size of tires.

I plan to put the 1' spacer on the front and purchase some 17x9 wheels with 285/70/17 tires. I was just wondering if someone did it already.
 
Changing the topic. LoL

The dealer gave me an extra TRD Pro badge. I am thinking about putting it on the cargo door. Left, right or not at all?




This is where I put mine.

[MENTION=124732]LawnDart[/MENTION] is running Nitto Terra Grapplers in that size on stock rims. He has an Icon Stage 5 lift too though. His setup looks tits.
I'm also planning on 9" wide aftermarket rims and going with the same tire in either 285/75 or 295/70. Should be fun making those fit....

Almost. I have Trail Grapplers, not Terras. So M/T vs A/T. And correct, I'm at the full 3" lift on my setup. And I went 285/70/17 to keep my TRD rims, which look awesome.

My bad. That's what I meant on both counts. Stock are the Terra's. I'm going with Trails as well.
 
Tease. Can I see a photo?

Right now because I have OME 898s install it's sorta sticking it's ass in the air until the armored bumper goes on (the photo is BEFORE i installed the 898s). But yeah basically imagine that but with the CBI rear and you'll get the idea.

Perfection sir. :cheers:
 
[MENTION=119958]Shaolin[/MENTION]. Why go to 9" rims for the 285s? It's a tough call for me. I like the stock rims a lot, but I want to go to at least that size, if not wider, and still be able to air down without losing a bead.
Only works for me to go after market because I will throw a winter setup on the stock rims of probably 255/75 or 80 depending on what I can find. Narrow works better on ice.
