    my 31s look like street slicks. so ill probably just go through the same guy and just get a different tire. even though i already have 2 general spares

    It sounds crazy, but Pro Comp Extreme A/T's have been the best tires I've ever owned. Great traction, good wear, aggressive look, and sidewalls have proved to be very tough (haven't punctured a single one).

    IFAK's are decent, individual level real first aid kits. So many first aid kits are only intended for bumps and bruises and fail to equip you to deal with serious, life threatening bleeding or breathing issues.

    how much are you going to drive on the freeway?
    Like I said, 4:88's minimum, if you're not worried about gas mileage I would step up to the low 5's
    I have 35's with a v6, and I running 5:87s and love them. I can still do over 100 on the gps without topping out, and It gives you alot more up and go power

    uhh not a whole lot unless i want to drive to work. ill drive it to the desert and stuff. ill also tow my boat to the lake (10 miles) so thats not bad at all. and over gearing for that would be good anyways

    and i dont care about gas mileage what so ever. im building a prerunner so gas mileage left me like 20 mods ago haha. i have a little tercel for my DD that gives me 32 miles to the gallon:)

    danggg everyone else is like oh wow i wouldnt go higher than 4.88s with 33s, but they dont drive like i do off road and most rarely even go off road. so happy i asked the prerunner guys. so what do you think like 5.29s?

    damn thats alot but i guess since you have the 3.4L you can go higher than 4.88s right? because i have 35s with 4.88s on my 4.0L(previously had 33s as well) and my rpms are high. doing 75 im at 2800-3000. but the power gain is enormous, i can smoke my tires all day, even in the desert the power is enough. ive never been in a truck with higher gears so i wouldnt know:p oh and im gettin about 13 city and 15-16 highway with mixed driving "habits":eek:

    Like I said, mpg will suck and yes your rpms will be higher, but for mainly offroad gearing in the 5's is the way to go!

    note, my buddy has 33's with a 22re, put 4:88's and is looking to go higher now
