Thoughts on 37s

They are about $1000+... but if you notice ECGS I think gives you a break @ $800 probably for keeping your diff core cosidering you have certain gear ratio

 

Yeah that's awesome. Madi like

 

If I can only sell my bfg 33's id be a little in the plus to get my gears... two guys flaked on them

 

They say they warranty up to 35" tires.. you better change your specs on your profile quick to 31's

 

I'm running 4.88's with 33's. haha I think having the auto helps, but realistically it's geared about the same as the 1st gen manual.




I got my gears from ECGS. It has been a couple years now, but it cost me $2250. $200 of that was shipping ($50/diff to and then from); $900 was the front ARB, and the rest was parts and labor.

 

I'm in 37s with 4:88 auto...

My milage was about as bad as my stock 2014 tacoma.

 

Less talking moar wrenching.

 

Haha

 

Id love to wrench some more but we finally got some rain.... I wanna chop some more off my mount. Anyone use some poly mounts? I wonder if they are smaller in diameter than the stock mounts?

 

poor wheel bearings

 

Actually mine doesn't seem to eat them any faster than anyone else, even bone stock rigs. You'd figure being beat on and underwater several times would have done them in a long time ago, but they are still rockin'. I changed them out 5 years ago as preventative maintenance because I'd read all these horror stories, but they still looked fine.

 

I'm currently wondering if I should change mine too. Eveyones seems to go bad. I have 162k and I just shook the tire and I can't feel any slop

 

If it ain't broke...

 

I think I'm going to put a set on my truck now that I need new tires. I will post pics of the mock up to see what I all need to cut on the fenders.

 

Mine are gone after 15k...I blame it on a lot of hard miles in Barstow (probably 1k).

 

Is it both sides that go bad or the diver? I wonder if its from the wable in the driver side axle that has an affect on it????

 

When I owned my 2nd gen my driverside WB went out at about 130k miles. I replaced it and it went bad again at 135k miles... So Who knows. I don't trust them shitty wheel bearings anymore. It seems to be a hit and miss with alot of people? Passenger side was still perfect at 190k miles.

 

This! I've only replaced one passenger side wb, but 3 or 4 drive side wb. Only have a 125k miles... can't wait to deal with them when I step up to 37s

 

I wonder if it's a quincedence or if it has to do with the axle vibration. I'd love to see someone install a GoPro on the shaft while they are driving and see if it's vibrating
