High end gear ratio in stock tacomas?

Went out and did some wheeling with a friend for the first time to test out the truck.. Found out my gear ratio is really high i had to end up parking my truck because it couldnt make it up a simple hill.

 

What kind of hill? (like terrain) What were you trying to do to get up it??

 

it was pretty rocky it had like 2 feet deep pot holes or soo. And i tried everything pretty much, even my cousin who has been rock crawling for 2 years couldnt get it to get up..

 

What size tires are you running? Did you regear? You could have tried it in 4 low or did you?

 

I'm not a rock crawler so IDK what to say. I haven't had any issues with the gearing in mine- but I don't try to crawl anything...

 

umm i forgot my tire sizes but it wasent the tires it was the gears. and i didnt know my gear were that bad, knowing that now im going to re-gear. How much you think itll cost? and i was in 4L the whole time. ha

 

The problem starts with bigger tires tho....You have a 6 inch lift and probably some tires nearly 34-35 inches...That'll hurt your engine performance if you haven't regeared already.

It's like 3 or 4 hundred bucks for gears...and probably another couple hundred for labor. Or you can do it yourself. Also worth thinking about putting a locker in the rear end and doing any other driveline mods you have been thinking about.
