Idaho BS thread in the PNW

5.29s and 33s would blow a huge dick for hwy speeds. Like holy shit. He would be almost 4k rpms I bet..

Needs 35s at least. And en really doesn't help his crawl ratio..

Once you g up a tire size you'll be cursing all the gear companies I bet haha

 

You forget just how much higher geared autos are. He would be just under 2900 rpm at 75 mph with 33's and 5.29's.That's not much higher than you are now with 4.10's and 33's. haha Silas runs about 100 rpm less than you at 75mph on the freeway.

But alas, yes, it would not be a whole lot of change in crawl ratio for him. Crawlbox would be much more cost effective.

 

Oh that's not bad..

Go for it mark haha

 

Eh... That gives him pretty the exact same crawl ratio as a factory 2nd gen with the 5 spd auto (3.73 gears and all). Just not worth the money... Either SAC/SAS with some like 6.17's or something or just crawlbox it. Or just live with it now I guess haha

 

remember his factory gearing is 4.56's so 4.88 puts him perfect for 33's and 5.29 is perfect for 35's but lets face it 5.29 is a weak ring and pinion for 35's..

 

It's mark...

Soooo..

Keep it as is

However I am going to enjoy this moment..



Told ya you should just done 4.88

 

He has factory 4.56's... 4.88's would be a waste of money for him... You wouldn't even notice that it changed really...

Put me up against that Tundra I'd be too afraid to break something, but I might give it a run for it's money since I am taller than it, and a lot heavier than that sport and locked and geared. haha

 

So if this is true a gear up for me to stok would be 4.56s. And well yep he should have done 4.88s but no can't listen to us at all lol

 

Pretty sure you have 4.10's stock. Mark's Tacoma has the rare 4.56's from the factory aka he got them for free basically. Free 4.56's > costly 4.88's

 

From now on I think I will just tell all 1st gen autos to get 5.29's... haha (not that this comes up much for me) So long as they are running 33's or bigger anyway. I know Konsta said that the 5.29's are weak, but Silas is doing just fine with his 5.29's and he is running 37x12.50 2nd gen MTR's. Although he is starting to go through CV's like Konsta does. haha

 

5.29s may be OK for those with the 2.7L but not for me. 4.88's are perfect with 33s

 

hahaha i would certainly not be doing a regear or a crawl box now. what do you guys think im made of? hell when im 35s ill still have 4.56s. cuz re gearing to expensive! i was just saying how I wish i was geared lower, not that i am going to gear lower

 

Hey guys, OK, I'm comin to rape your towns and pillage your women. I'm coming up on 95 Sunday/Monday AM for lunch at Geoff's in Mc Call and then heading to Moscow, Ben is coming down to say hi, I'd love to meet any other TW'ers along the way (except maybe Lisa), so if you are along my route, let me know!

 

bad news bro. he closed down...



and LOL!

 

No he would notice. 4.88s are great for 33s and autos.

And that's stupid to do IMO

Plus wth does hieght have to do with? I don't think you'd stand a chance against 400ft/lbs torque..maybe if he had bad tires.

He had t pay for 4.56 anyways for the rear. Could just gone 4.88

No way. That's horrible advice. Silas has had 35s or bigger with 5.29s. Would be way to low geared for 33s.

Cvs have nothing to do with the gears. Just way to big of tires.

I agree..but not. Yes for second part. No to first. I still think basic drive ability would be effected too much with 5.29s and 33s

For me. Gears go as so

1st gen auto

4.10 up to 32
4.88 for 33
5.29 for 35s

1st gen manual

4.10 up to 33s
4.56 for 33
4.88 for 35
5.29 for 37

 

Probably because you were used to your 4.10's and then made the jump to 4.88's. Monte and Ben are still lowered geared than you (granted they have a clutch to put up with).

I like where mine it is at for now. Geared low enough that I rarely have to do much more than barely touch the throttle to start climbing something and it almost won't roll back when trying to climb a big rock. It's actually geared low enough that if I do roll back even just a little it will actually kill the motor! It's not low enough to climb over that stuff by itself though, but people with crawlboxes say they have to put it in neutral to stop. The crawlbox will push through the brakes even! haha

 

I believe he reopened after dealing with the crazy children stealing wife. Mike and Ben where just there.

 

But you hate the hwy...

 

how long ago? i know ben was there right before he shut down. didnt see anything else on his fb either

 

Ben told me that Chef Geoffs had closed down. A shame, really enjoyed meeting him. Great hospitality.
