    Spare tire mounting for 4runner

    Awesome! Thanks for the info. That's a really fast delivery time, considering I'm waiting at least a month for everything else. So the backup camera isn't useful at all with the tire blocking it? How about the collision detectors? Did you have to disable them so it's not beeping at you all the time?

    Hey! I am also in San Diego and also new to overlanding. I have been exploring local trails around Ramona and Palomar Mountain, but haven't done anything more adventurous yet. Apparently there are two OB meetups in SD, they next get together on 9th and 16th of July. I'm planning to hit up both...

    Spare tire mounting for 4runner

    It has a poor man's lift via spacers. The dealership does this so they can put larger tires on them and ask waaaaay over MSRP. Besides that, it's stock. It will soon get rock sliders and a roof rack. I am considering a hitch tire mount, and that should be the end of it.

    Cool, that looks like an option when traveling light. I think I'm leaning towards the rigd ultra-swing. It's only 60 pounds without all the accoutrements.

    Yea, I can see how hard it would be to swap on the trail. How long did it take for you to receive your RIGd mount after you ordered it?

    Also, how difficult was it to get your spare onto the roof? How did you end up mounting it? Thanks.

    Spare tire mounting for 4runner

    Thats good to know about the roof rack. My concern was the roof dynamic maximum carry capacity of 120lbs(according to Toyota). My Gobi rack is 70lbs of that, plus the tire should put me at max or even over. I've been listening to the Overland Journal Podcast a lot, and they hammer on the roof...

    Spare tire mounting for 4runner

    Hey OB! Got a newbie spare tire question: I have a fifth gen 4runner that came with four 32.7" BF Goodrich all-terrain K02 tires, but just a factory 31.6" spare. Everything I've read suggests running a full size spare, but as far as I can tell, I can't just put a 32.7" tire where the spare sits...

    Thanks for your reply. Just going out and off-roading is the conclusion we came to as well. Have done some easy local stuff around home and had a blast. Now we're looking to go with a group on something more adventurous, hopefully OB will help with that. Also planning to take a I4WDTA course in...

    Hello all! We are Igor and Katrina from San Diego. Just got a 2022 4runner TDR-off-road. We have been camping for a while, but have zero experience in off-road travel. We would love to benefit from the wisdom of the OB community.
