so maybe 4:56 didnt those gears come in runners and trucks with the 3.0 or something or 4:37?

[THK Matt]

idk.. i know toyota made 456s and 4.88s....

i know the new tacoma style 4runners with the 3.4 "limited" edition came with e-lockers in the rear and 4.88 gears.
probably cause theyre automatics..

my roomate has one and it doesn't have an e locker

do they have a gear chart somewhere that gives reccomendations on gearing and tires?


From what it seems like personal preferance is the way to judge?

there are tire size/ratio calculators

http://www.4lo.com/4LoCalc.htm

I put in my old tire size (33), new tire size (36) and old gear ratio (4.88). It said I need 5.32 gears

[skipnrocks]

Thats cool, I put mine in and it said I need 5.58.  I think its interesting that it basses it off of the origional tire size. So I guess its desighned to just keep a simular feel?

actually, for it to work correctly, you need to put in your STOCK gears and STOCK tire size (this would be the original ratio)

so, if you had 29" tires stock and 4.10s and wanted to step up to 36" tires...you would need 5.08 gears

[Doof]

[yota_krawler]

i got the speedometer to read 85 going down a hill with 410s and 37's in my 86 one time in marin, how fast would that be?

[skipnrocks]

104 ish if you had a 30in stock tire.

[Ramrod]

nice thats a good speed, now try and keep a grin off your face and imagine this truck going that fast through the welthiest town in the country!!

Hahaha thatd be sketch

[lilbuddy]

Well my truck isnt ghetto anymore...

I got the gas tank back under the truck instead of out in the bed. That was ghettoooooo.

Totally stoked now

[Hyena]

that was the coolest part of the truck!

[lilbuddy]

that was the coolest part of the truck!

Oh thanks brad..

[Doof]

no more climbing in the bed to fill your tank lol

[lilbuddy]

And having gas spooge out all over your leg so you have to go all the way home and change... Yeah thats happened.

Im hoping its okay cause i think the bolts stripped out but they wont come out or go in so i dont think theyre goin to go anywhere but well see. Youll love how i did it. I had to extend one of the straps about 2 11/16" so i cut and spliced it in and welded it together... looks haggard but youd really have to look hard to notice.

[lilbuddy]

Oh and to make it better out of all the trucks ive owned i dont have to sit there and hold it in the filler neck! It stays on its own, hella sick tight

[Doof]

ill check it out... i want to sex with your truck again when i get my new DL built... and lowered pretty soon



edit: i at chevron i dont have to hold my gas when filling. thats the only place it does that though

Sounds good to me.

and yeah i could sometimes get it at safeway in both my 81 and my 86 but my 97 i can jsut let it sit. pretty sick tight.

And i have an actual gas cap AND i have the locking door on the outside. Totally stoked on my truck right now. tomorrow im going to see how the skid plate mounts up and put that beezey on there.

Sometimes it will stay, and sometimes you just get to walkin away and it will spit it out and spill 91 octane all over the damn place...
