Hey I just picked up a nightshade and looking at wheel options. I like that you stuck with the OEM 20s and wrapped ko2 on them. Just wondering, did you add spacers? Or is that how the wheels fit with that size?
1.25” spacers all around and did require some fender liner push back / trimming. When getting an alignment, setting caster as far forward as possible within spec will prevent it from rubbing on the body mounts! Hope you enjoy it!
This is a great vehicle. I have this exact one, and I will drive her until the wheels fall off. Which hopefully means until about 400,000 miles. Side note- I have nitto ridge grapplers tires and the factory running boards, and a third row seat which is not very spacious but works for a short drive
Sure do. I will make a video in the coming months on that. Just a quick recap for you… ~130k miles, averaging around 21mpg (lots of highway driving), only major repair was the water pump under warranty, oil change every 5k miles, and a 100k service that included the spark plugs being changed. That 100k service was about $1000 at the dealership. Car runs fantastic. Still pulls strong and smooth
Great overview! The POV driving shot gives a high quality feel to the video and really puts you in mindset of a driver.

I’m hoping for 400k as well! I was between the Ridge Grapplers and the KO2s. Sometimes I do with I had the third row seat option. Enjoy the 4Runner!
What tire shop did you have swap your tires. I am having a hard time finding one to swap to that size for me.
I had a local shop do it for me in my town. Are they hesitant because of the wide tire and smaller rim width?
Do you still have your GS350? If so, can we get an update video (maintenance, repairs, mpg, overall thoughts)? Have a great day.
