Northern Virginia Roll Call

Don’t lock the front. You’re gonna grenade CVs and tie rods left and right with how much skinny pedal you use.

 

This is also very good advice for you @Darkgoatracer. You arent friendly on the skinny pedal ever.

 

Me? Use the skinny pedal? Never!

 

So i've definitely decided to regear (i think) should i go with 4.56 or 4.88?

 

4.56. Reading the thread on 35s, that was the general consensus for manual tranny 4.0’s. Auto are 4.88.

 

Use this formula it'll get you close to stock ratio with stock tires.

current tire size x stock/old gear ratio
old tire size

 

The math says that, with 35s, 4.28 gears would match factory gearing/tire size. I would go with 4.56 to be slightly overgeared, like @EatSleepTacos said.

 

There is a quick sand Tunda Pro that drives around Leesburg and every time I see it I’m all !!!

 

Randy are you regeared?

 

Nope but I probably should be. If I go 35s I’ll certainly regear to 4.56

 

488

 

My neighbor has a quicksand trd pro tundra. It's really nice, but to big a truck with no diesel for me.

 

@Darkgoatracer Found a guy selling a rear axle. Down in Richmond.

 

No locker though. Good find

 

It'd get him back on the road for cheap.

 

Atta boy!

 

Dude yes!

 

Did you ever hear back from the guy on Craigs list?

 

I had a similar experience a few years back. I was prepping to have a bathroom remodeled and had bought a shit ton of bathroom stuff. I had also just ordered 4 255/80/17 st maxx from DTD. Everything happened to be delivered on the same day ups. I heard the truck roaring up the road (it had a distinct sound) so i opened the garage and went out to help him. When we had everything unloaded i tossed him a 20. He delivered a lot of crap to my house over the years without destroying it, its the least i could have done. Plus i think we emptied out half his truck that day haha.
