    Nice truck @fishfinder ! How are you liking the 4.88's? You were running them on 33's for a while, was the rpms ridiculous? Pretty set on 4.88's my self but going to be running 33's for a while before I jump up tire sizes. All in all im running a heavy dclb and thinking it should work out. Any feedback on that gearing would be much appreciated.

    Edit: read through the build again and saw some info a couple pages back on the same thing. Sorry for the redundant questions. If you have anything else to add or general mpg your getting that would be awesome. :cheers:

    Thanks dude! No worries. I'm stoked with the 4.88s, and they weren't too bad on the 33s. You'll enjoy them. As far as MPGs go, I'm at about 12-14 now, but I didn't get a tacoma to save money on gas!

    Thanks, I'm okay with that considering I'm getting 12-15 in city and rolling highways. However my transmission is hating me and I'm on 255's. Lol. Now to save my pennies.

    Too fancy looking. I actually like the SCS center caps. I'd want dark bronze color-matched caps if I got any...
