@@brokenlegz Yeah, just another knob head. Not even legal, not engineered. 🙄 Wait until he writes it off and finds out his insurance is void. I’m pretty much betting if his finance co found out all the mods to it while still in warranty have voided the warranty as well that they would cancel the finance contract and repo the vehicle. Why do kids always believe that they know more than Toyota engineers. If the vehicle doesn’t meet your needs stock standard - then you bought the wrong feckin vehicle. 🙄 Shoulda bought an Iveco daily or something, but not a Prado Kakadu. 🙄 Kids. 🤬👎

[@babasdiary230]

Hi, I live in Dubai and own a Prado with Petrol engine (4 Ltr , 275HpV6). I am currently running on a 265/70/R17 BFG KO2 with 2" TJM lift and do pretty lot of desert drives and planning to go for bigger tires. But ia m worried as it affects the overall gearing of the vehicle and ruin the engine and transmission if the drive ratios are not corrected to suit larger diameter tyres. Did you do any such corrections as you have increased by almost 5" ?

[@mandras79]

Hi Aaron! 2021 Prado would fit 265 / 75R17 tires. The factory wheels are 265 / 55R19. Do you think it will fit under it without modification? The car has a rear air spring with KDSS manufactured for the European market. Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@targetoz5470]

Hey Aaron, regarding your tire size choice how come you didn't go for a 285/75/17 which is exactly the same diameter just skinnier, wouldn't the 285's have fitted without mods? Dunno just asking for when I do the same to my Kakadu. Cheers Steve.

[@AaronOffroader]

Hey Steve, nahh unfortunately. Even the 285/70/17 contact the top of the guard on full uptravel (in the front) Putting anything with a larger diametres like 295s a bigger 285, or 305s will contact the guard quite significantly. The body lift moves the body up 1" Allowing a 1" bigger tyre radius before contact or 2" of diametre. So for 285/75/17 or 295/70/17 basically need the same amount of work as the 315/70/17 i put on 👍🏼 Hope that helps.

I'm surprised there isn't more chatter in the comments about the legality of these mods. Your tyre size is way above legal even with engineering and you can see why from your brake tests. If you have an accident caused by your inability to brake your insurance company will not pay out and that is an expensive lesson to learn

Body lift! I was just starting to like the channel then you go and put a body lift on. They are a bad idea. I have had to fix many body's where the body lift has caused too much movement and cracked the sheet metal.

[@tasrocket]

No no no you can’t put 35s on a Prado and No it’s Not legal at all with or without suspension lift Currently in NSW the VSB14 allows a 50mm lift (increase in vehicle height due to suspension and/or tyres), any higher than 50mm will require certification. This limits 4WD owners to the industry average 50mm - or 2" as it's often referred to - suspension lift and restricts them to standard size tyres. The new 75mm lift rules will allow a vehicle to be fitted with a 50mm suspension lift kit and tyres that are 50mm larger in diameter than the standard items (only half the increase in the tyre's diameter affects the height of the vehicle). /In general terms, your average 4X4 ute could legally run a 50mm suspension lift and 32" tyres, although it will of course depend on the vehicle make/model and it's approved standard tyre size(s).
