I think I hate my 4.10 gears, what to do?

Love it just wish i had 255 85 16 tires for it.

 

Talk to @fatfurious2 apparently he'll be selling a set in a couple of months and i don't believe he has too many miles on them

 

Thanks I was out 5 1/2 months last year after the first operation. Got back to work and 9 weeks later tore it up way worse than the first tme. I guess we'll see glad we paid the house off this year

 

Ill be selling 5x 255/85/16 ST Maxx, Level8 MK6, TRD center caps, and tpms. There are currently 12k miles on them and they look brand new.

I already have a few people interested. But im not listing them for sale yet

 

Where did y find 17 inch steelies i would prefer steelies. Broke way too many wheels on trails in my lifetime.

 

FJ steelies

 

This is what I'm considering doing exactly. You should do it first and tell me how it works out....

 

Well it makes sense. If you incease tire diameter you are essentially rising gear ratio so Rpm's will decrease. Like I have 3:73 gears and now with th 33" tire they are like 3:55's theoretically so lower RPM's and the speedo reads lower than actual speed. Please correct me if I'm wrong but this is how I've always known it.

 

I will! I plan on ordering the rest of the wheels at the end of Feb/when the next shipment comes in. It should still be cold. Ill get one tire soon. Then when everything is clearanced, order the 4 remaining tires

 

I've never heard of this

You're correct

 

I think that was only offered on older sport models which are 3.73. Get a true track, they are lower maintenance any ways.

 

: / Sorry to hear that. Orthopedic injuries are the worst. I had my shoulder done a few years ago.

 

Yeah, I wasn't about to bring the rotational mass into it quite yet....engineer?

 

BSME but spend the vast majority of my time doing prototype machining.

 

Have you sold the tires and wheels yet.
Put me on the list of buyers.

 

did you ever recalibrate your speedo? just keep in mind as others have pointed out that its going to be off.

 

not sold yet. But youre on the list.

I hope I dont forget everyone who was interested. Its been a long time

 

Recently installed 4.10 gears with truetrac and I think I'm in love. 2006 V6 double cab long bed with 33s 255/80/17

 

Since this thread was brought back.... i will quote my own comment because I did end up making some of the changes I spoke of.... i still haven't gone to 285s, but i did regear front and rear diffs w/ 4.56 from ECGS, also added true trac in the rear. Bought them pre-set up and swapped them by myself in a weekend. Did the Lexus GX470 big brake swap as well. Adding the true trac to the rear was a great addition, works great with the "limited slip" the truck has already. The 4.56 gearing is, in my opinion, how the truck should have come from the factory. I was worried the revs would be too high on the highway, but it is not bad at all. I am really happy with it. Planning to do the cab mount chop soon, then will go to 285/70-17 or maybe 285/75-17...

 

id be cautious of towing 3500lbs in 5th, your auto transmission temp will be getting up into oil cooking temps.
