I decided to purchase this because of the price point. If I could afford maxtrax I would have gotten those lol

 

Does this look right for a 2013 TRD Sport on 33's?

Gonna need more monies, anyone looking to buy a kidney?

Is the install pretty straight forward? Remove and replace type thing?

 

This.

This is what I did.

 

Someone say kidney?

 

Are you a manual or an auto? IIRC manuals have a different final gear ratio so 4.10 would suffice. I only say this because I used to peruse the 35" tire with 3" lift thread and there they recommended 4.88 for auto and 4.56 for manual.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Can't bring myself to like this.

 

Gotta man, accepting the cards delt and making the best of it


Hell, my wife setup our wifi at the new house before I got home... our wifi name is "Kicking Kidneys". Lol

 

I appreciate the sentiment.

I am just a sensitive pussy.

 

What a setup!
I may or may not have touched your truck inappropriately while I was there.

 

Its a manual, thanks for that

 

No problem. Hope someone else can chime in and confirm. If not, the guys at ECGS will hook you up!

 

This is my struggle, I'd like to get a rear locker, but if you're going through the trouble you might as well regear, but then you have to the regear the front, so then you might as well get a front locker. It's everything or nothing.

Edit: but I'm a long ways from there anyway.

 

I think @MJonaGS32 had 4.56's. @BudMan has 4.88's. Both on 33's. I just drove to Pinole from Alameda and 4.88's weren't bad with 35's. Bumper to bumper traffic and some 60 mph driving. Not as low as I thought they'd feel. Letting the cool for a bit as is necessary with a regear.

All of us have 6-speeds.

One weird thing. The speedometer shows 70 when I'm going 60. Was the opposite with stock gearing. So the speed sensor is at the transfercase driveshaft/ output shaft?

 

That's usually when there, " Found On Road Dead ".

 

Stick that bitch into 4-low

 

Yeah really just wanted the front, but now im thinking I should regear just in case I want to upsize tires again later on.. So I may as well just save up and lock and regear both at the same time... This is my current train of thought at least.

Although I did buy a winch to compensate for not having lockers... Maybe I keep em open and skip the easy button?
