Thank you for you kind words. I would try to share my experience as much as possible when time available. As for your questions, IMO; 1) The disadvantage on SL rated tires are strength in offroad against punctures. To my experience C rated tires are a nice balance between onroad comfort and offroad peace of mind. This time I’m taking some risk with SL tires. Since I have a new kid I most likely be on gravel roads / easy trails. 2) I don’t notice mpg hit on these Toyo 285 SL tires. To me they feel like having stock 265s. For sure this all depends on driver, traffic situation, etc.. 3) Most important thing is push the fender liner as far as possible and fit the bottom 10mm bolts. Then cut the lower lip of the bumper to match the fender liner position. Use a heat gun and push the mud flap as much as possible. With that I think closer to 2in lift you should be able to fit 285s. Factory TRD ORP wheels are +15 offset vs TRD Pro wheels are +4 offset. You have better offset to fit 285s than me. So you should have better luck than me. Both 5100 & 6112 would be really nice. If you could go for little expensive shocks with adjusters the ride would be even better. I had Elka 2.5DC on my TRD ORP. The ride comfort offroad is next level. My TRD Pro shocks are pathetic compared to those.

@@LionRunner ok got it. I am a 90-10 driver (90% on road) here in Texas. high way comfort and driving through rough bumpy roads are priority for me. may be Bilsteins would be too rough for my needs? but then again its very affordable and I can get mild lift. given if I go 285 and have high centre of gravity having a good handle and less body roll might be a good bet too I am guessing.

LoL. I had to ask the owner to pop out the plastic cover on bumper to fix the recovery hook. I didn't want to take the blame for damage if it breaks. And I just towed to the next side road and left. Don't want anyone to sue me for doing something in good faith. Also one of the reasons I don't give my email or phone number in my about page. I'm just sharing my experience and not expert advice. Don't want anyone to sue me if anything goes wrong.

@@LionRunner I totally understand. I just found it funny. Glad you cover all your bases, as today's sue-happy population, will try to get their money one way or another.. LOL!!

Even changing the entire housing is not too bad. (there's a newer video) I'm a big fan of the new housing now. Who knows what I will do next. LoL.

Sadly yes. Not easy as other trims. I really wish I can swap the bumpers, but seems that's not easy too. Right from the tiniest parking sensors.

@@LionRunner I ended up removing the bumper on mine to do my fog lights. It was surprisingly easy, though I did get a scratch or two while doing it. But yeah swapping the bumper is definitely a complicated job. A lot of people swap in the SR5 bumper but at that point I think I'd rather get a nice steel bumper or something.

100%, Limited is a more hard working machine in our house hold. I used to carry heavy loads from storage for my wife's business. Also driven in couple of serious snow storms when wife have to go to work. One time came back as building management could not make it to open the building 😂

@@LionRunner 🤣 Yes sir. Nothing like a TORSEN LSD. Which is partially why I love our STI.🦾

1) To change the bulb I didn't have to remove the housing 2) Remove the bulbs you turn counter clock wise 3) I have another video how I change the entire fog light housing without removing the bumper.

Thank you 🙏🙂

In this case the driver was applying brakes as needed and in control. If the sensitivity was medium or higher I would expect the car would break way before and could potentially cause an accident as the people behind would have not expect the vehicle to apply breaks at full force too early.. I'm not sure, just thinking out loud.

Yeah, Anything later than that may be too late for a 4Runner vs something like S4 has by far stopping power.

I haven't seen there's such a law for fog lights. However I have a video swapping the entire reflector fog light housing to OEM like LED fog light housing. That thing have a strict cut off line and a wide beam pattern. Let me try to put the link below but sometimes youtube block links. If you don't see the video link in few minutes please check from the videos on this channel.

Here's the video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3myeYSPbaaGkLMfeature=shared

Sadly I don't have this 4Runner, had an accident by the dealer. But I can say the cheap amazon bulbs on my 2019 4Runner still works.

@@LionRunner ok lemme give this a shot. I was looking at reviews and some folks were saying the bulb stopped working after a year. there are so many options these days with wide price range. sometimes just not sure if spending another 100 on just bulbs for higher qulity ones really worth it

🤣🤣🤣

Thank you 😃

Not fair, I check the price just now and it has dropped even more. LoL..

Bulbs like Lasfit LA or Nilight are brighter than both these.

No diff drop. By the way this 4Runner has a new lift setup in my newer video.

Thank you very much for the offer Astra. I will let you know when I'm doing such serious reviews. With busy life for now I'm only doing unplanned personal, friends and family videos.

@@LionRunner Good to know, I'll continue to follow you on the channel to give you support and if you have time to do a review video, I'll be back in touch okay?

FYI, There is a newer video on this Limited where I change the entire housing without removing the bumper.

That's what I'm thinking too.. LoL Happy Father's day KissKiss.. 🙏

Very good advice which I never thought about it when doing this. Thank you very much 🙏

for Canada it would be the Toyota Canada site. Let me post below, but not sure if KZbin blocks posting URLs or not. If you don't see it under this comment, that means KZbin blocked the link I pasted.

@@LionRunner no available download for my car. 2019 corolla. I already tried this before. Thanks anyway.

@@KYU_07 I guess 2019 Corolla headunit is very matured at this point and maybe nothing to fix. Trust you have no issues / problems with it.

Oh wow. That make sense. Thank you very much for that tip.

لقيت حل؟

@@QmyxX لا بس عرفت وش المشكله ، المشكله ان ذا نظام خاص في الشرق الاوسط مافيه تطوير من برا

1) When I had 275/55R20 I see some scratches on the tire pretty close to the wheel. Now with 285/70R17 the scratches from curbs seems not even half of the tire. 17in combo seems to be perfect for drivers like my wife who don't see curbs. LoL. 2) When I had 20in wheels I didn't like seeing components like brakes through the wheel. I like how the 17in wheels hide them and put attention on bigger tires. 3) Around here we have some crazy potholes with out warning and I assume with more cushion with 285/70R17 tires I'm far from tire punctures / damage. (just an assumption. Will post if I get in to trouble)

@@LionRunner thanks for the reply! Can you tell a major difference in ride?

@@bkketner123187 I don't remember I felt a difference. But the trick is your body forgets the difference really quickly and adapt to new.

The comfort is not too bad. Yes you can use any kind of shocks in the back while you still have the spacer over the spring. Now I'm running a different lift on this Limited and I really like it.

@24:28 see the product description at the time of recording this video.

I used to spend $30+ per side with famous brand wiper blades in my previous 4runners but the look and performance was not to my expectation. Been using these rubber inserts for a while now and its very good imo.

@@LionRunner yep, spread the word to Toyota/Lexus owners!!!

For this test I was using Midland T71 handheld. Didn't use anything different. Just used the same channel on both radios. On my trips some of my friends have Midland GXT1000 handheld. Never had a problem.

Congratulations..!! Hope you like it. I'm still addicted to 4Runners, LoL.

Me personally won’t pick ORP with KDSS, one of the reason been reliability. I don’t want to deal with Toyota dealer only repair part then KDSS start to leak or have lean issues. I enjoy the JBL sound system in the TRD Pro (and Limited). Not bad for a Toyota. Also having remote start from phone was a big thing when we had the new born in winter time where I was able to start the car from the hospital / doctor office. Automatic head lights, dual zone climate control also nice to have. Non KDSS ORP is really value for money and you can pick aftermarket suspension way better than TRD Pro Fox. Wider 7.5x17 wheels on ORP are also a big value when you want to upgrade to bigger tires. The big reason my wife drive the Limited is because TRD 4wd selector is too hard to use. With Limited fulltime 4wd she can just drive like a AWD vehicle without thinking about anything. Our previous SR5 with 3rd row was crazy value for money and I could have added front and rear lockers, suspension, tires and make it more capable than a TRD Pro. So in summary every trim has a very valid reason to buy.

@@LionRunner much appreciate your detailed response!

Can’t go wrong with any 4R

I bet it should be same as this. When I go to the Toyota firmware link in the description and select 2019 CH-R I see 2 firmware updates "17TMT2NA-DA01" & "17TDT2NA-EA07"

This is my friend's 4runner. We try different LEDs.

@@LionRunner which LED light BILD do you think are better ?

@@saulmartinez7179 are you looking for low beams or high beams?

@@LionRunner looking for both kinds. For a 2016 4Runner trd pro

@@saulmartinez7179 For low beams if you see the Auxito low beams video it has an advantage not having external driver its easy to install. For cooling since the fan is not facing the dust cover I think there is better air circulation. The beam pattern is pretty close to stock cutoff line and to my eyes there’s no glare. For highbeams the best DRL I’ve purchased in Xenon Depot LED Pro with the provided DRL driver. The con is its not as bright as some thing like Auxito 9005 with fans. But those high power bulbs tend to show slight flickering in DRL mode. I could not find a bulb with fans that has a DRL module. I’ve even tried super expensive Morimoto 2strock 3.0 and they are still not clean as Xenon Depot LED Pro DRL.

I did not check this at the time but I did a quick check today morning and seems like I still have them. But better expect for the worst in case they get erased.

Thanks!

245/40 R19/20 would be way too small for this generation of Venza. 245/50R20 is the factory you have for 20in wheel option and for 19in 245/55R19 is.

බොහොම ස්තුතී 🙏🙏🙏

TRD Pro are only about 1in lift front and 0 in rear compared to other 4x4 trims. That's why TRD Pro also have same 9.6in ground clearance. Also TRD Pro have +4 offset 17x7 wheels vs SR5 have +15 offset 17x7 in wheels. Since it's +4, pushed more outward it has more chances of rubbing issues. If SR5 had same 1in lift like TRD Pro , it might have less/no rubbing I would guess.

I wonder what website is to be used in middle east for firmware update. For US its "www.toyota.com/firmware-updates". Pls search around, middle east might have a similar one.
