Beautiful setup, I must do this to my 1794. But I did not see a torque wrench. If you over tighten them, it will turn out to be a problem. Just my two cents, great video!
Thank you and as for Torque I have done it so much I can get really close without one. But I always go back and check my torque to be sure. My torque wrench was in my work box and failed to video it.
Thank you for the great video! Please, please get a torque wrench on those lugs for your safety as well as others on the road. 🇺🇸 Under torqued lugs can come loose, over torqued lugs can have fractures.
You are so right. Planned on getting video of that in the follow up but I had issues with the video. It's getting about time for a tire rotation that would be a good time to check the torque on the spacer. It's recommended to recheck the torque at least every 6000 miles maybe sooner if you are wheeling it pretty hard. Thanks for the comment and the compliment. Fresh installs should be checked after the first 200-300 miles or so.
The nuts securing the spacers still have threads on them to thread down some more. I’ve came across the same thing and decided to get extended studs. Did you already have extended studs or stock? Curious because mines 1.5 spacer and the nuts torques down only half way. I see the nuts on your spacer didn’t cover all the threads on the studs. Is it normal for the nuts securing spacer not seat all the way on the studs?
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad you were able to seat the nuts securing spacer all the way in on factory stud? I’m not able to do that on 1.5 spacer. Been on forums and had couple suggestions to go with extended studs or extended cone nuts for the spacer on stock studs or both! How many turns did you get on stock studs and stock nuts that came with spacer?
@@_takeit3z yes. The holes are recessed. The holes to secure the spacer leave you with threads that mimic the depth of thread that would show if the wheel were place on the hub. Longer studs weren’t needed.
I used a thin wall deep 7/8 or 21mm on the wheel side. The hub side(spacer to hub) may have used a smaller socket size I'm not sure. Would either be 19,7/8 or 21mm deep socket
Changing the wheel is the proper way to get it to fit a +18 offset minimum.. also a 4" lift... literally just go to custom offsets galleries and filter what your trying to run. It helped me alot.
I have a 2021 tundra if I run 285/75/18 on my stock wheels will have have any rubbing issues without spacers or would u recommend a 1 inch spacer or 2 inch space? Thank you for your help.
Somehow I couldnt see your comment. Sorry it took so long for a response. I would have had less issues with something less than 2". I have learned through this that there are tons of variables and that may not be your experience. Thanks for the comment.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad question for u I have a 3/2 ready life and stock wheels on my 21 tundra trail edition. If I run 285/75/18 on my stock wheels that come on my truck which r the black wheels not the trd wheels but similar do u think I will have any issues with rubbing?
I'm curious about the rub after that plastic piece coming out. What spacer lift did you put on the the struts? I am getting ready to bump up to either 295 70 or 35x12.5 on stock pro wheels and just curious how yours has worked out. Right now I have 1.25 wheel spacers.
I'm not sure on the brand of lift as it was installed prior to my purchase but Its approximately a 2 inch spacer. I plan on tackling the plastic areas this weekend to see how much more I can clearance. Really think that 1 to 1.25 wheel spacer would have been perfect with out rubbing but 2 inch was what I went with. If I can cure the rub I really like the look.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad I've seen a few Tundra's with the high clearance cut much like the 4Runner like you have don on yours and I used to have done to ours before upgrading to a full Hefty Fabworks bumper.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad We have the Hefty Bumper on our 4R and absolutely love it. Nice thing is that it's aluminum so it only weights 65lbs. The owner Chris knows how to use the aluminum and make it very strong. I seen it on another 4R hit a deer at highway speeds and still perfect no issues. In fact he ran it for a few more years and then later upgraded to a different hoop style and sold his old one to a friend.
Just a couple of wheel spacers and all I had to do was remove a wheel. Now. If it would have been a major repair, then yeah I would have double checked everything prior to.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad but still, a quick opening of the box would have instantly told you there was a problem. Anyone who orders parts for their vehicle would have checked them out when they got delivered. Then you double down and the day of the install still don’t open the box until the second you need them. Lol
Not talking about this guy, but if somebody does something only for the looks, how is that pointless when the point of doing it was for looks? It would obviously not be "pointless".

perfect poke with the 2inch spacers, get you some 1/2 or 1inch bumper spacers it will solve your problem, no cutting and removal of mud flaps.
I will probably give that a try. When it flex’s it’s still getting into it more than I would like.
She'll be tossing rocks all up on your doors now. Looks great.
It did throw a little more stone for sure.
Ceramic sacrificial layer is a must.
Your son is so adorable! Great video !
Thank you!! 😊
Those crickets with the background noise though... LOL
Yeah they were crazy loud all summer.
It sure does look more aggressive. Any changes in the vehicle handling ?
Yes. I have had no issues with handling suffering. No regrets.
Fitting the front for a short time is ok as the Toyota 70 series front axle has a wider track than the rear, which is a pain when driving in sand .
Has it caused any issues to your paint with it throwing stuff up onto the sides?
Hasn’t been an issue.

Did you actually use a tork wrench...or just a power bar
Power bar for 5 miles the torque wrench and after a few hundred miles I checked em again just to be safe.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad cool

Factory studs. All usable threads were seated properly. Have been on for a year and still maintain proper torque/tightness.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad you were able to seat the nuts securing spacer all the way in on factory stud? I’m not able to do that on 1.5 spacer.

Looks goood!!!!!! You running spacer on your 4 runner too if so for how long? Any issues at all? Thanks in advance
Thank you. No spacers on the 4Runner but I do like the look on the tundra so I might install some in the near future.
@@Wheel2LiveOffRoad 🙏 Tundra looks really good! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@Jaico2024trd 🙂🙂🙂👍
What size socket did you use
I used a thin wall deep 7/8 or 21mm on the wheel side. The hub side(spacer to hub) may have used a smaller socket size I'm not sure. Would either be 19,7/8 or 21mm deep socket
Solution to the rubbing would be a 295/70/?
285 75 were perfect. Availability at the time led me to the 35 12.5's. Which I like better but it has turned into quite the challenge.

What brand did u get
G2 axle and gear. 2 inch.
What’s offset of your rims?
+60 I think, Factory TRD pro wheels.

I’m not afraid to cut but realistically it’s probably going to be that or a bumper. How to you like your hefty.

@@White_buffalo_4r cool good to know. Thank you.
I had anxiety watching this. Seeing the kid out there with no jack stands was tough.
Appreciate the concern. He was under the watchful eye of his mother just out of camera view. Thanks for watching.
It’s called a torque wrench
They were properly tensioned prior to getting on the road.
So you didn’t open everything and made sure you have all the parts before you start tearing shit apart? 🤨

Why run muds when you don't do any mudding? Pointless.
who said i dont
