09 ac 2.7 5spd on 315/75R16 with stock gears

Well she's on the tires and rolling and able to maintain highway speeds along BC's ever changing in elevation costal highways. Lots of shifting is happening and she's sucking back fuel like a college girl on your dime but it's only temporary and it looks dam good !!!!

 

I want 35's on my 4 banger

 

Everyone needs 35's

 

Hell yeah. I have my gears, just need the rubber now.

 

Awesome. Whats your mpg, the nerd in me wants to know.

 

Poor lol I've burned through almost a quarter tank in under 120km but I also have an rtt on and had my old set of tires in the back

 

You think I'd be ok with 35s on stock gears just running around town?

 

I don't find it that bad, I'll let you know once I got the tent off the truck. However if you're auto don't attempt it the only reason it's bearable is cause I'm 5spd.

I also have a mpg update....

So yesterday day I filled up and went about my day, keep in mind my truck is very armored and is still carrying around an rtt, but I managed to get 140km to 1/4 tank combined city and highway. With the 265's I was seeing around 170km to 1/4 tank sans tent

 

That's not too bad, and I am a 5 speed.

 

I am going to do 33s at first but this is good to know when I eventually switch to 35s

 

With 35's and stock gearing you may get better mpg in 4th gear than 5th on the hwy. Either way you should regear.

 

I plan on it, I've got 4.88's and arb front ad rear lockers waiting to go in next weekend just wanted to post my findings also the odo is off so it needs to be corrected. So I'm now at 230km indicated at half a tank

 

I have 4.88's with 33's right now. I feel like the truck shoulda came with 4.88's from the factory

 

I've never had an issue with the 410 gears I was quite happy with the performance before I went bat shit crazy on the mods.

 

Soo got some 4.88s put in the truck on Sunday... mother of God its amazing with the 35's it's feel like the truck felt with the tiny ass stock tires I have a 5th gear again and don't have to worry about headwinds lol

 

How much did it cost ya? Looking to get a feel for how much it is when I eventually swap over.

 

I bought a used 3rd and front diff from a guy parting out his tacoma soo I got a crazy good deal on them since the lockers and air compressor were included. Plus prices in Canada don't reflect costs in the states. It Costs us a lot more basically

 

Gotchya, that's some damn good luck!
