I read somewhere that wheel upgrades can affect the ride quality. Anyone have insights on wheel sizes for better off-road performance?

Bigger tires can improve traction but might affect MPG. It’s a trade-off!
Don’t forget about lighting upgrades! An LED light bar can not only improve visibility but also enhance the look of your 4Runner.
I’ve had my 6th Gen 4Runner for a few months now, and it’s been fantastic off-road! I recommend checking out the Rubicon Trail. It’s challenging but absolutely amazing!
I’ve heard great things about Rubicon! For some easier trails, try Moab. Perfect for testing the limits without feeling overwhelmed.
Don’t forget to invest in good recovery gear! A winch can save you in tricky spots. The 4Runner is solid, but sometimes you just need that extra help.

Absolutely! I also recommend getting some off-road tires. They make a huge difference in traction!
I’ve been using the Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires, and they’ve been fantastic in various terrains. You might want to check those out!
Great recommendation, obrown! I’ve used those too, and they are a game changer for off-roading. What driving techniques do you all find useful?
When descending steep hills, use low range and keep a steady pace. It helps maintain control and prevents sliding down! It’s saved me a couple of times.
That’s solid advice, frank88! I also suggest learning to read the terrain. It really improves your driving skills and keeps you out of trouble.
What accessories are must-haves for the 6th Gen? Besides tires and a winch, I’m curious about lighting options.
For lighting, I recommend LED light bars. They provide great visibility at night and enhance safety during night trails. Plus, they look cool!
