What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Even if I stay at 33s?

 

yep.

ive driven a rig with an auto and 4.88s. Just like stock but a tad more torque. Not super over geared at all.

 

Aren't you at a super high elevation compared to us though? We are below 1000 ft.

My truck is regeared to 4.56 with 33s and pulls really damn good. Lots of torque like when I had 3.91s on 28s. Plus my 4x4 is heavier than his prerunner

 

Thats what I'm saying

Go for it

 

Prolly gonna go 4.88s if I do regear

 

Better go to 35s then, either way its still cheap for you having only one diff.

 

He is talking about my rig and it was at sea level and again at 10,000 ft.

 

I'm probably going with 4:88's and 35's down the road. Hopefully it's now too undergeared...

 

True. I may wait til I convert it or just regear rear first then the front after I convert it

 

Im sure it pulls good haha. IMO 4.56s was perfect for my truck. I just need a tad larger tires and my speedo will be spot on, the gearing is super close to stock

 

Time to step into some 12.50s

 

Nah I need new rims for that. It can wait

 

We'lll see how this turns out. I still think it will rust. To get a good ground on your antenna, the mount has to have a clean connection to the body. It won't get that with powder coat or paint on the mount. Maybe I'm wrong, but my past experiences with grounding an antenna leads me to having some bare metal on the mount.

 

I would think it'd save $ too, to do the rear and then regear whatever front diff you pick up as it's waiting to be put on.
At least that's my plan. But with 4.56s

 

I had the pros do it, "only" cost me a tad over $1800

 

this.

5.29s for 35s especially for the auto.

I loooovvvvveeee it in my 5 speed. And its only just a bit over geared.

 

Dude you need to get new wheels and tires over the break. You should let me sell them for you

Sounds good man

 

It sounds like it's getting some holes in it. So depending on how bad it is, I might just upgrade the entire thing.

 

Definitely agree.

I had 2 issues with my CB for the longest time. One being that I painted too much on where it mounted through the tailgate latch. The second being that the bolt-hole was too small allowing it to ground out instead of leaving a gap for the silicone washer to be useful. after that I've been getting a 1 or less across the board!

Hmm, okay. As long as it doesn't too crazy over stock.

Y'all may have talked me into going with 5:29's with 35's instead. I just really don't want to overgear to the point that 4:88's would be better for 35's that will see mostly highway to get to trips than off road.

Go with the Magnaflow catback if you can afford it if you need to upgrade. Sounds amazing and yet still quite when needed....

 

Ouch. Well as we're waiting to convert the front why not just fork out whatever for just the back and as we're collecting parts for the conversion the front can wait.
That might save $ in the short/long term.
