2nd gen reg cab re-gearing

I am new to this site so sorry for any flaws i have made.
My question is i am goin to go from stock to 35's with 6" lift and 5:29 gears. Is there anyone whom already has this done or can anyone tell me how much my Mpg will change vs better or less? Also power wise as well. Will be mostly highway amd some wheeling. Thanks in advance!

 

um....less

 

I'm guessing your truck is a 4 cyl and that's the reason you're going with 5.29's?

 

Auto or manual??

 

I don't think there are 5.29s for our diffs yet but if there is someone correct me.

Running 35s myself, went from 4.56s to 4.88s

 

Diverdale- i am aware of less but am I looking at 10 mpg less or 1-2 mpg less?
Deeezy and MKW- yes sir, it is a 4cyl 2.7 5-speed

 

Hows fuel milege and power with 35's and 4:88?

 

And I wasnt aware of there being no 5:29 hears hmmm.. Thanks for that info Large

 

I don't know .. truck has been on jack stands for 2 months waiting for me to install them lol. Will report back. I expect 12-14 mpg

 

Boyyy... Thats gonna hurt the pockets lol

 

Few pics of my girl

 

No 5.29s for the clamshell, so unless you swap the drivetrain out the lowest diff ratio you can get on a 2nd gen is 4.88

 

I live in Nc and was told by my, local toyota dealership, that 5:29 gears are available for my taco No swap needed?? He bluffin isnt he?

 

I'd say so. First off, Toyota doesn't make aftermarket gears so how would they know they are available. Your best bet is to call someone like ECGS, just differentials, yota masters, marlin crawler etc. Nowhere on any of their sites is 5.29s available and I usually check their sites regularly for new stuff that comes out.

 

Oh ok.. This ECGS you talkin bout, what it stand for? Is this a good offroad purchasing website? I feel like i might have heard this before..?

No swap needed? As in, he can get one from the factory, he thinks? I'd like to ask him for a quote and see what story he comes up with. That'll be funny.

 

So 4:88 gears and dnt use the labor of my local yota supplier is what im getting out of all this?? Amirite?

 

Yeah if by Yota supplier you mean dealer, they can't get you gears... Unless some deal was made that I don't know about between companies. There are lots of offroad vendors that specialize in Toyota and they can help you. ECGS is what comes to my mind, but I am sure there are more. And if the dealership can offer warrantied rear end swaps, at a reasonable cost, maybe do it. But typically that is the job of a rear end shop.

 

I have the 2.7 with the 5 speed and 4:88 gears and 33" tires.
24 mpg average.
