I put a much more aggressive front bumper on my GX. Its the one from Expedition One. This, plus the SPC UCAs allowed my alignment guy to push both upper and lower pretty far forward and keep me perfectly in spec. There's nothing in front of the wheel to worry about. I'm only rolling on 33's now (255/80r17) but I'm hoping that I can get up to 35s without having to cut the front fender at all.

Another great video! Appreciate all the time and effort you put into this. Regarding the cutting, a little tip I've found after using cutoff wheels, dremels, saws, etc. to trim, I've found that an oscillating tool is a great tool for trimming plastic. It doesn't heat up and fling melted plastic all over the place and it's really easy to manage. There's also several different sized heads to be more or less precise. Cheers.

what's the brand of the bump you are using on the GX?

[neriomagilbray]

I have a 4runner with 3 inch lift on stock UCA, and -12 offset wheels, do you think it can run 35? I already have the BMC And the pinch weld! or do you recommend that I stay with 285

This is my first ever comment on Youtube. This content is amazing - but I have a few questions.
1, why do you do all the fitment without the coilover installed?
2, can you do this same fitment and testing with the coilover installed?
3, on the rear passenger side of the GX, if using, or reusing the stock upper control arm, the bracket for the headlights is a mute point?
4, based off the below (my plan) will the bump stops be an issue for me or can i leave the stock bump stops alone? i certainly do not wheel as hard as you do - but in 5 years or so theres a chance this turns into a dedicated trail rig.

My current plan is to install the lift (ironman 4x4 foam cell pro stage 3 with medium load springs). Once i have the lift installed I will ride on stock wheels and tires for about a month before i start fitment for the bigger wheels and tires.
I'm going with a 17x8.5, -12mm wheel and a 285/75/17 BFG tire. It's between a 33 and 34 inch tire.
Once i start fitment and cutting, i had no plans to remove the coils to do this. Can it be done without removing anything?
I do think my fitment will be much simpler than this video describes, but the process should be the same.

Legends says Chuck Noris learned how to fit 35s from Sandy Cats

Love the kid trying to knock the tires down @21:40

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

That wheel and tire combo is pretty sweet love the green you putting on the lexus what brand beadlocks are they

[AntonioClaudioMichael]

I think it was a great narration good video

Thanks for the detailed information in this and the prior video. I am in the late stages of installing 35s on a 2018 GX460, and while I am pretty comfortable with my setup so far, I did pick up some good tips from your video, and you confirmed some things I already knew. Thanks for the pointer for Dr KDSS, some good products there. You also talked me into spindle gussets -- although I don't go off road at the speeds you do, I do some moderately serious rock crawling so it's probably a good idea. I have 35x11.5x17 tires with -10 offset wheels and that definitely simplified fitment compared to 12.5" width, and I am fine with the slightly narrower tire. I will say that if you regear your GX that should alleviate a lot of the transmission overheating you have experienced.

Wohhh that green 4runmer with the 37s is nicee awesome setup

[Papolucho]

It’s a good thing I’m staying with 33’s and don’t wheel too hard lol but this made absolute sense to me and even at 33’s I had to do a little cutting on the bumper and fender liner.Gonna do a viper cut at some point, my wife likes that idea.

[jailbreakoverlander]

Best thing I found for windshield washer was expedition 1 relocate kite huge tank well built and it works

[JakeWhiz]

What is your wheel offset on the wife’s 4runner

[kingbetong]

Maybe should you do a separate video on each vehicle✌️. Sorry i just came here for 4runner. But still very informational.. i just install “34 and dont know what to expect. Nice video(i just need to skip for 4runner side😅)

[vladd]

This is great content, thank you! How much less work do you think it would take for 35x10 pizza cutter with a 3in lift?

[alexs]

Makes me really happy I got a Tacoma. Got 35s on in the back didn’t need to trim because got longer shocks which limits up travel to give more overall travel. Seems much easier until I decide to link it and go full crazy

[DaciaProject]

Pro tip: the optimal tire size on a GX460, LC 150 Prado or 4Runner is 255/80/R17. Thank me later!

[jailbreakoverlander]
