That's what I always thought the typical choices were for gears

Then would 4.56s gear you lower than stock with 33s? That seems like a pretty big difference

 

i think they're just a tad lower than stock. don't quote me on that though. there are gearing calculators online if you're interested. i can't remember the name though.

 

alright thanks i'll look it up. I'm curious now

 

me too, let me know what you find.

 

cot damn 358 and the light comes on for me

 

295-ish and I don't even HAVE a light.
ZING

 

Well so far I found this link on another thread here:

http://www.toyota.com/upfitters/pdfs/specs/2009TacomaProductSpecs.pdf

assuming the 2009 ratios apply to all 2nd gens, it looks like you were right John, the v6 being 3.73 (excluding the xrunner)

I also found this chart on TTORA: According to that, it looks like 4.27 would be ideal for our trucks with 33's, so I guess 4.10 or 4.56's would be the way to go for 33's on the v6

Somebody please let me know if I am missing something. I know almost nothing about gearing, so I'm just learning.

 

trd offroads have an 8" diff the trd sport has an 8.4" diff

 

What size tires are you running?

edit: and you've got the v6?

 

i think i'm doing something wrong.......

lol

 

this shit pisses me off

Can people not get decent jobs nowadays

 

thanks for the help guys i knew i could count on you guys, so i think i will go with either the 4.10 or the 4.56. i dont plan on ever going up to 35s i really dont have a need for anything bigger than 285s. i do plan on going to a mid-travel set up in a yr or two but im not going to go up in tire size.

colin i saw you truck in toyota mag hahaha and i think im going to go with your suspension set up when i up grade

 

haha, that's awesome, i just got the email with the magazine in it. i had no idea they were doing a page on out trip.

4.10 sounds like it would be good for you. 4.56 if you have a lot of extra weight or some other form of resistance on your truck.

and if you go with icon you'll love it. go with the new 2.5 inch rears though. the 2.0s are great, but they aren't rebuildable like the 2.5s are, which makes it difficult for them to handle extra weight in the rear.

i actually just took a picture yesterday that i need to post. turned the upper bushing washer on my driver rear shock inside-out.....limit strap time.

 

yeah i'm with you man. I don't understand how people are getting that kind of mileage cause I'm nowhere close

Yeah I think if I was regearing I'd probably go 4.56 for a little better towing and performance offroad, but if you're not towing much I would think 4.10 would be what you want. Just my .02

 

Can I have you 2 cents so I can have four?

 

Hell no! There's a lot I could do with that 2 cents!

 

Damnit man

 

Visiting my Dad over the weekend in Atlanta. Filled up part way there, 20.1 MPG.

Just under 1/2 a tank left, so far I've managed to get 254 miles out of it. Cruise control at 70 gets great MPG.

 

Coby, this is the picture i was talking about.

turned the "cup" washer completely inside out.

 

colin why did you flip it?? wat was the diff from wat it used to be? and ya i saw that they just came out with those 2.5s. i would def like to get those bad boys.

so last night i was sitting in my recliner watching family guy and i hear an engine reving really high outside. so i go out on my pourch and i see a uhal trailer in the middle of the grass by my apt. with smoke every where. and 3 guys trying to dig it out of the soft rain soaked grass. so i ran out to my truck and drove it out and around up onto the grass. the look on all their faces were priceless, like thank god someone that can finally help. i guess they had called 2 different tow companies and the tow companies said that they either couldnt help them or it would 2hrs till they could get around to our area.
so i flipped my truck around and hooked up my snatch rope that my buddy made for me when i was still stationed on a boat. hooked it to the tow ball on the uhal, flipped that little diff into 4wd hi and gave it a little skinny pedal.
as the my tires dug down into the grass a little i got the nice jerk on my truck and the uhal popped right out. had to keep pulling it out and over a grass burm and onto the pavement. i felt so good after doing it. they said a couple big trucks and a h2 just drove by and didnt even slow down. here are some pics

this uhal was completely loaded full with this familys stuff. it was stuck to the axels.

here is where it was stuck



had to pull it all the way to the street on the other side of the berm

and thats from my truck


so i think i should have some good karma for a while....
