How well do the stock birfiels hold up to 35's
been on 35's and 4.10s daily driven in 2 different trucks. 81 p'up, 22r, welded rear. started on 36tsls and that sucked, switched to bfg km1. didnt pay attention to the tire wear and only time i really noticed it was in the parking lot. then switched to bfg km2s and noticed how much tire wear i was actually getting from the spool. it quickly wore the leading edge off the center lugs(8" wheel), whereas my fronts still looked brand new. but offroad traction won out so i kept the spool in. i put in a marlin clutch (1600) that helped a ton offroad and in-town driving. stock birfs held for a long time but passenger side is "clicking". 1 set of spares then longs.now in my 87 runner SAS the 22re seems to do a lot better job with the 4.10s and 35s. spool is NOT going back in. not practical in a DD. i am saving for aussies at least. duals on the ups truck. 37s next year and i will stick with the 4.10s and do some motor mods. mostly because the guys i wheel with have 4.10s and spare 3rds are really cheap around here.
What others get won't necessarily be what you get, and there's no exact equation to know what it will drop to if it does.
4.30 and 33's work great for DD. I'll assume 4.10 and 35's will SUCK in town but will purr on the highway. 16-22mpg
jrock what tire/gear combo are you running?
Any guy who takes his woman wheeling enjoys her. A woman who is owned is left at home to cook, clean, and keep beer cold. So if this offends you you should stop looking and go have some tacos. And a beer. If your old enough.
Now who is from the central valley? How would 35's and stock gears do up the 4 lanes?
my best friend ran 35's with open 4.10s and he had to pull some hills in 1st and 2nd gear. that was on a 83 22r
The only thing i will say i do like about the 4.10's is cursing on the highway
