Gear brand suggestions?

Hi TW. Just joined a few days ago. I was looking to do a re gear in my 2nd gen Tacoma. Just changed my tires to 35s. Any recommendations to what gear brands are good. I wanted to run 4.88s

 

Call ECGS and order the 3rd members already assembled and just swap them over easy peasy. Then just got to send yours back to them.

 

Thanks ovrlndkull that's not a bad idea. Gotta go take a look at that. Only thing is the shipping for me. I'm from hawaii.

 

Ouch damn we'll see what they say. They are localish to me also if you can get in touch with nitro gear and see if there is a recc. installer in your area that could be another route

 

Recommend any brands? I was planning to set the gears myself.

 

Lmk what they say about shipping I’m on Maui...

 

Yeah I'll let you know. I'm on Maui to. I tried asking a few shops and there about 1600 shipped here for yukons

 

Do you have fiberglass fenders? Hard to see your truck in your pictures

 

Yeah. 2 inch extended fenders. I gotta take some better pictures. Lol

 

Yukons come to mind first also

 

Show me some pics of your glass. What company did you go with and what was shipping? I’m on Maui.

 

Nittro gears and I got the rem option. So the break in period is way way shorter.

 

Those were the two i was looking at nitro gears and Yukon. I just gotta see which ones I can get cheaper. Thanks for the reply

 

Here a pic of the front of the fenders. I was in the process of retrofitting my headlights.

 

4WP, Maui Off Road, or see if Boss 4x4 carries any you like because they send a pallet to Oahu every month or so.

I’d check the Hawaii sub forum for more advice. Some of the guys there (@seoulja99 and @inksin) have done gears, but they both did full third member swaps from ECGS I believe.

 

I would do this. 4.88’s. Anything higher in gear ratio will lower your top speed.
ECGS is legit. Otherwise try universal4x4.com, trailgear, or Amazon

 

ECGS third members FTW!

Shipping isn't as bad as you'd think via UPS. Plus, the core charge is returned to you once they receive your stock third members.

Painless and very reliable. Plus, customer services is top notch.

@deeezy also went with ECGS, and they warranty parts. I believe ECGS uses Nitro gears.

 

Seems like the easiest way. 4.88s should be good for 35s with the 4.0 right?

 

That’s what I have. 2012 DCSB TX Baja series (TRD Offroad) 4.0 with some upgrades on 35’s.

 

4.88s it is then. I appreciate the feed back
