Recommend a shop for regearing?

Hey TW, looking for recommendations for a good shop in the valley for a regear. Driving up to the rim is really making me consider this and I'd like to take it to a good shop to do it.

 

Call 101 Motors in Tempe and ask for Gregg. He'll hook it up if you tell him Sean referred you!

 

I was looking into AZ Driveshaft. They do all types of diff work (re-gear, lockers etc) and have a good reputation.

Interested to hear the outcome as I will be in for a re-gear later this year or early next... hopefully

 

I ended up going with Zuk. My mechanic has been using him for 20 years and he's the only one he trusts, ha. That was good enough for me.

 

Getting it done this week, so I'll let you know the outcome.

 

Did anyone used Arizona Differential llc by Nate 3601 N 36th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85019 ? I want to regear too.

What size and brand gears you go with?

 

I went with 4.88's and Nitro gears. I have a manual trans. Research showed that its best to go with the 4.88's for manual and 5.29's for autos.

 

I decided to go with Arizona Differential on 36th Avenue. They quoted me at $1500 . They show me the shop and the owner was very friendly.

 

Do you have 3rd gen Tacoma on 33" ?

 

I do have a 3rd gen. Working on the 33's next.

 

What was the total cost on the bill?

 

He's not setup to remove the 3rd members, so my mechanic had to do that. About $2100 total.

 

I've got a 2nd gen Taco on 35's with 4.88 gears.

 

I don't know if should I go 4.88 with my 2nd gen . I'm on 33's with a lot of extra weight. Or should I play safe and do 4.56?

 

Do you plan on going bigger tires eventually? Do you do alot of highway or long distance driving?
