4/5 things in the picture are dead

 

Since you have a locker, you're the same as me at 4.30

If you were open diff though you'd be 4.10

 

4.10s on 32s were already enough for the Tacoma when I had it.

 

5th item being the photographer; he's dead on the inside

 

Was that V6 or 4 cyl?

I like the snappy around townness that my 4.30's and 28.8's give me now, so I'm trying not to get too crazy

 

3 of the dogs + 1 of the trucks

 

V6

 

Just checked tirerack and I can't find a metric 33" that fits a 15" rim... am I missing something? I did find 33 10.5 15s in a KO2 and they're 216.99 vs the 31s at 174.99

I think that's why I wanted 31s

 

I have never encountered an automatic taco I wasn't faster than, even when I've been heavier and with larger tires. I've driven a few and they're just so sluggish to respond and shift. They do waste a significant amount more power than a manual stock for stock its actually not possible for it to be faster than a manual that isn't driven by a quadriplegic.

 

Opened up the 980Ti because I was curious. This is a total loss and I doubt I’d feel comfortable bolting it back together and selling it on eBay as “not working for some reason” listing. One of the cable’s heatshrink melted and dripped down. The aluminum heatsink also has burn marks.

So my options to replace it with a GPU of equivalent or better power will cost me more than this card did new 5 years ago.

 

33/10.5/15 That's what i ran on my grey truck, no it isn't metric but its the right size

 

My 4:30 taco with the 4 cyl 5 speed is on 32" tires. I noticed no difference in power over the 31" tires.

 

It's a turd cause you can't bang gears which is most of the fun in driving


BUT I honestly can't comment because I've only ever had autos in vans haha and I haven't had a van in 3 years

 

That's the strange thing being its a limited it does not have the locker.

 

33x10.5 are slim to none, there's a few MT's out there though.

 

Cool, I'll probably just go that route then... but it'll be next year at the rate I'm going with the rest of the truck rebuild


Running stock rims I should only have to do the pinch weld mod correct?

 

It's finding anything in 15" rim size that's killing me

 

Yea, lots of hammering, have to cut the wheel well liner too.

 

Maybe he didn't know how to drive stick lol

I used to have a v6 Prerunner (auto) and with ECT on I remember it would scoot pretty well...was all stock, no added weight.

My current truck with the MT even supercharged feels like a slug but I attribute that to the armor and especially the tires
