hey all toyota newbie here i just got a 85 toyota pickup w/ 4cyl 5 speed i plan on running 38s or 39s on the toyota axles i know i will need to build the axles up i am not worried about that.  i am building this toy to do alittle bit of everything. trail , crawl (nothing hardcore) , mudholes and maybe some local tuff truck....the rear will be welded and i might install a locker in the front what would yas do 5.29s , 5.71s or 4.10s w/ duals?

[yota4x4sc]

i would either 529s or 488s cuz there stronger..i had 529s when i had yota axles..i liked them with 36 inch tires

Not many people here run 5.71's, or ever had any luck with them at all.  Generally, if your looking at 5.71's, then you really need to be looking at 1 ton's.  

Majority of us are running 5.29's, and duals, with almost no issues.  There are few running 4.10's and duals, but it's harder on the drivetrain.  The lower gears makes it easier on the drivetrain, especially with a 4 cyl.

thanks for the replys all...5.29s it is. would ya`s still do duals? or will the duals not allow me to spin the tires fast enuff in the mud?

[P-DiseToy24]

Duals will allow you the same wheel speed you have now.  That's the nice thing about duals is you get that low low but you also have the High high for mud/freeway.
I suggest duals to anyone even if your only running 35's or 36's it just gives you such an advantage if you have the choice of such a low crawl ratio.

ya like p-dise said... duels are almost a must..i love them..u will never have to slip clutch again with duels

[scarecrow [OP]]

nice....5.29s and duals it is....my truck is setup for duals but only has a single in it now. i have a hole cut in the floor and mounts welded to the frame. i guess the prievous owner had intentions of duals just never finished it. so what all i need to do is get another toyota tcase rob the gear box off of it order an adapter and bolt it to the front of my tcase now.

yeah sounds like u got it now... good luck

ya then you will have to re do your drivelines.

ya then you will have to re do your drivelines.

i am not worried about that my front shaft has to be done anyway and the rear has a trashed carrier bearing and i would like to get rid of that all together and make 1 shaft from rear to tcase.
