PreRunner B.S.

Okay peeps of the 2wd world. Looking to get a powertrax lunchbox locker. No slip or lockright? Anyone have one and can give me some more views on them. Know a couple guys with them but it never hurts to hear from more people.

 

Damn.. you have the 5 speed or a 4spd auto? That poor little four banger is working hard!

 

I have a 5 speed. I plan on putting 5.29 in as soon as I can quit having wrecks and things breaking. Between my daily and this thing I’ve spent 6,000 dollars in the last month on repairs

 

Yeah id go with 5.29s if i was to do it over again. I have 4.88s and 295s and my truck is still a dog. I have a shit ton of added weight though.

What kinda mileage you getting with the 35s and stock gears? Whenever i swapped out my tires with 295s i couldnt even use 5th gear anymore and was getting 13mpg hwy

 

I have no idea what the mileage is, I know it sucks because it seems like I put fuel in it every time I drive it. I don’t daily it (I daily a Prius, which I love). Anytime I’m driving the truck, it’s pedal to the metal either trying to drive over or through things that shouldn’t be driven over or through. Full send 24/7

 

Sounds like a good philosophy to me! Are there any good places down near you to do some high speed stuff? I prefer that over slow crawling, lots more fun

 

The side of the highway and county roads lol. I don’t know of any legal places

 

What locker have any of y'all installed in your PreRunner? I don't think I wanna go with a lunchbox locker.

 

ARB air locka

 

So expensive lol. Which one did y'all buy?

 

Yeah it was pricy, but so worth it if you daily your truck.

I believe its called the

$1,110 RD129 Air Locking Differential

RD129

 

Did you have to buy an on board air compressor?

 

Yes, got it during a group buy though. Went with the twin, it airs my 295s up real quick

 

Here are a few quotes from my prior posts in this topic about that topic lol

 

Went up this with no locker, almost got stuck. Coming down was very easy though. Only picture I have on my phone. Theres more on my brothers camera.

 

Going camping with the wife in a couple weeks. Camp ground is super secluded and has sandy parts to it. I've got a 2014 Sport. Any need to knows for the sand so I don't look like a jackass? Was thinking about just getting a recovery board off Amazon for $80, I don't see why that wouldn't get me out of any sand situation I find myself in. Also auto LSD on or off in the sand? Thanks!

 

Airing down works wonders in the sand, so maybe invest in an viar 88p so you can air back up once you get back on pavement. I aired down to about 15psi front and back went i went to the beach last time. Truck never got stuck and i used the auto LSD the whole time

 

Ok so I've had my 06 dcsb prerunner for about a month and I'm loving it... except the tires that are on it. It has 285/65/18s toyo open country ats. They have a bit of dry rot (truck came from arizona) and the fronts ride to close for comfort to the cst spindles. I want to go to a 16 or 17 inch wheel and a skinnier tire. If I go 16 I would get a set of 255/85s but what size can I get in a 17 that is skinny and still a 32 or 33 inch tire? Final option would be to keep the 18s and go with a 255/70. But I'm just not in love with these wheels.
