    As to weather or not the Off Road has more ability, Most of that depends on teh driver. Many people on here that have run back to back, have had no complaints about the Sport. I have yet to see someone on here complain that they should have gotten the Off Road......If they have, I missed the post.

    Love my sport. My mechanical LSD + Ebrake is my poor mans locking diff. I also think I'm an ok driver with enough skill to put my Sport in and out of a lot of places a Tard with an offroad would get stuck. Rant over. I'm done.

    Well, it doesn't have an offroad hood so it will not perform as well as the offroad and it obviously doesn't have ATRAC :p

    Tape on hood scoops and other autozone accessories are stupid. The TRD Sport hood scoops are fine and make the truck look better imo. No need to bash the TRD Sports.

    What do you mean by that?

    This TRD Offroad vs. TRD Sport fight is stupid. They're both great trucks, both very capable offroad but with different options...

    I know they are not as stout as the "8.4" non TRD offroad rear end but they still can take abuse.

    Is this the same with the 1st gens? From what I've heard the 1st gen elocker rear ends are not that bad, still not as good as the "8.4" non elocker rear end.

    I moded 1999 Taco so much it had turned to Land Cruiser
    1gen is atleast 1000 lb less
    1gen = 4.10
    2gen = 3.73

    8" 4.10 is thicker then 8" 3.73 (not by much but apparently enough )
    So 4.10 + 1000lb less = elocker FTMW :)
    3.73 + 1000lb more = elocker sukz :mad:

    8.4" rulez them all :D (well until you dump Tundra 10.5 in that thing I guess )

    I would argue your "I can keep up with fully locked trucks" argument is bunk. You've spent so much time on here tellin everyone how your OR has better equipment than a sport and is therefor better. So with a fully locked truck it's better equipment than your OR....which means the fully locked guys were taking it easy or equipment doesn't really make all the difference.

    And it's funny- cause I've been out with guys that have lockers and all sorts of hoopla...and I've pulled some of those dudes out....which again tells me...Equipment isn't everything.

    I would totally agree. But if you put the same driver in a fully locked vehicle vs open, the locked is going to be far more capable.

    The 8.4" housing is stronger. IIRC, the gears are the same.


    What makes you think the 4.10's are thicker? The 3.73's are a stronger ring gear.

    Where did you read about the ring gear size? Everything I find says they are the same 8" diameter?

    IIRC, In order to go down on ratio (go up on number) one has to move contact surface in such a way that pinion rotates more times per one axle rotation. In order to do this you either have to thicken the ring and reduce the pinion diameter or increase the size of ring and make pinion move back. I believe both are done. Either way ring on 4.10 will have to have more iron then ring on 3.73 . Thats why the front 2gens you can not put 4.10 into the 3.73 housing and you need 4.10 housing for that (more room) Thats why elockers are limited on the top ratio. non-elockers can go as high as 5.29 ratio because there is plenty of room.
    I tried finding motive gear explanation but no luck it was long time ago when I find it I will post it.

    The lower the number, teh more strength its going to have. To add more teeth to the same size gear, you have to cut more of them, thus reducing material in the ring gear, and/or going to a smaller diameter pinion. Many times, if going to a numerically higher gear ratio, in the same housing, gear strength is reduced. Regardless, in the end, the tire (traction) is useually the weak link.

    I dont think number of teeths is realy what causes the ratio change. If you have two circles each with 10 inch diameter then they have 1:1 ratio. So one spin of first one will cause the other to spin one time. This is regardles if each have 10 or 10000 teethes. Now if you increase diameter of one to 20 inches. Your ratio is 2:1. You have to cut teethes different way to make sure they overlap correctly but its not number of teethes that make difference its the difference in circles. 20 inch circle will have more material then 10 inch circle. Same way with R&P. 3.73 will require less material then 4.10. and 4.10 will require less material then 4.56.

    Shape of each teeth is balance to carry the max load with out jerking and slipping. Teethes transfer the load from gear to gear but material that holds the teeth is what transfer back to axle so if you have too much stress in between teeth and material holding them is not strong enough it will crack. Simple imagine grinding the ring to be 1 mm thick at the edge. Would that be able to hold teeths together ? Now imaging the same ring having a 1 inch of steel behind the teeths.

    I think Toyota wanted to meet requirements for fuel efficiency so they went with higher gear ratio (lower the number) That works fine for non-TRD's because there is still enough steel to back that ring up. NON-TRDs dont need to have locking ring so their ring is thicker. (somebody has pictures on forum comparing two) But on TRD offroads it looks like they hit too thin. So if somebody with TRD - OR upgrades to 4.10 diff should last much longer, 4.56 would be even better.

    Sorry about long post:)
