    ECGS all the way. I've grenaded multiple diffs and they've stood behind their work.

    I have 32s now, likely going to 33s next set. I see a lot of people running 35s. Would 4.88 regearing be beneficial to me? I've seen some say get 4.88 even at stock tire size.

    I'd absolutely do 4.88s with 33s. I ran the 285/70R17 tires on stock gears and changing to 4.88s was a night&day improvement.

    That's the same size tires I'm installing this weekend, how is when city driving?
    Did it changed your mpg?
    A lot people says it is a big improvement, but how?
    I appreciate if you can help me out with your opinion.

    Honestly, it's been so long since I regeared that I don't remember what it drove like with the tires and stock gears.

    I own an offroad shop in NJ and we regear 400-500 trucks/Jeeps a year, so I see the difference every day. It definitely improves around town driving and allows the transmission to shift into top gear on the highway taking load off the engine and trans.

    My wife and I were just up in Ouray Colorado this weekend, they hold an FJ summit there but this weekend I saw 3 Tacomas, 5 FJs, 3 Land cruisers, and 50 Jeeps...

    Ya we missed the FJ summit by a week or so, so everyone up there with us were just weekend wheelers. But it was surprising just how many jeeps were up there. Always good to represent Toyota with some Tacomas.

    That's true, but they are still not allowed since it does not explicitly say "Toyota" it's the TLCA that comes up with the rules (Toyota Land Cruiser Association)
