~~Re Gear, 4 cyl, 5sp, 35" Tires~~Please help!!

Hey Everyone,

First off i have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4. I recently added a 6" fabtech lift and 35"X12.50 toyo Mt's. Ive been searching on the fourm for a few days now and cant find a thread with somebody with the similar set up as me. My truck drives fine in town but i do find myself at loss for power on the freeway and pulling hills "which was expected". I planned on regearing my truck shortly after the lift but cant find any information with similar setups.

My Questions:

What would the correct gears be to put in my truck?
Is it possible to have the stock power back with 35's?
Does anyone sell a kit that comes with everything?
What is a respectable brand name for gears?

Thank you for any information that can be suggested!

 

AnyIdeas???

 

Check out this thread http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/132970-4-56-vs-4-88-gears.html

Most of the guys have 6 cyl but you can post there and get some info.
I'm thinking 4.88 gears for those 35's but I could be wrong.

 

well most guys that do regear get 4.56's or 4.88's

 

i ran 5.29s on my 88 with 35s and 4 banger and 5 spd.it wasnt a race car but it moved.i only felt it going up long hills.i got it up to 115 mph

 

4.10 R&P was stock, i believe. I would suggest at lease a 4.88 but if it were me I would do 5.29's

 

Call Chase at East Coast Gear Supply. Doubt you would be able to find a set up for less and he offers us a 5 year warranty. He ships you paint buckets with new third members. You remove yours. Put his in. Ship yours back. Clean deal and minimum down time. Good luck.

 

i have 5.29s and i have almost the same setup as you.

 

Is your truck a daily driver? How does it do down the highway with 5.29?

 

What im getting here is im looking at either 4.88's or 5.29's? Can someone tell me what the advantages and disadvantages are of each?

 

Thank you, Ill give him a call and see what he thinks.

 

is yours a 4cyl a v6? i regeared to 5.29s and its a 4cyl, runs like stock or even better and yes its a daily driver. i go all over with this truck

 

5:29's for sure. east coast gear supply is your best bet

 

How are the 5.29s with the 38" tires. After i lift my truck more Im thinking 37s.

 

the 5.29s pushed the 38s easy..but it affected the mpg, but with the 35s it runs like stock, and barely any difference with mpg

 

I have the 4 cylinder, so 5.29's would set me going down the highway at 75mph comfortably? I do tend to take this truck on road trips every now and again, so i need gears that work on and off road.

 

no experience with 4.88s but 5.29s will definately do the trick both on and off road

 

How do I get ahold of this eastcoast gear supply?

Thank you everyone for all your advice, I believe I'm going to go with the 5.29's... I'll keep ou posted on what I end up doing.

Thanks again

 

Here. Tell him I sent you! I dont get anything other than the 5 year warranty like all his other customers!
