    :D i regeared my 02 taco with 5.29 and now running on 35 tires:rofl:. i did the rear gear myself and have the shop did the front, parts with labor and fluid in total of $742 for the rear and $250 for parts and fluid for front. this is to show you how much it costs to regear or the price might be different depend on parts and labor in your area.

    Exactly! That's why I wanna do it myself. I'm looking at a set of 5.29's local with install kits for $325. Then add $50 for fluid and I regeared my truck for under $400 if I do it myself... The rear diff is easy to get out and the front shouldn't be bad. I just need to read on how to set backlash.

    The fronts are precision gear and the rears are yukon. The only downside is the rear is for the 8" e locker rear so I would either have to resell and buy 8.4" gears or buy an e locker axle :spy:

    i would say keep your axle and buy new gear it is easier and cheaper to work with:typing:.

    Had a little time at work today so i fabbed up a simple light bar that bolts directly to my bumper. Tucks tight to bumper, allowed me to put my TRD radiator skid back on and looks alot better than the bull bar i had on there which hindered approach angle severley.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    I don't remember the total, but the weight on the rear axle of mine is 2000 lbs. The front must be heavier, so I'm over 4000

    I replaced the plugs and wires in it. Now it accelerates better overall and the miss-firing is gone. Curious to see how the mileage will do....
