Regearing checklist

I've decided to regear over the holidays. I'm completely new to it and just Want to make sure I get everything right. I searched but I couldn't find a checklist or anything on here. If I'm reading it right...other than an installer... Is this all that I will need?

Gears, install kit, and locker if you plan on knocking that out at the same time...really there is nothing else needed and if a small part is the shop installing it should have it available for you! I will be having gears and an ARB air locker installed sometime soon.

 

I've thought about locking it but can't decide. I wonder how much extra that would be to have installed?

 

I don't see that on east coast supply's site. Know where to get one?

 

ECGS will sell you the flange if necessary. If your spending the money to install the gears I personally think a locker, if you plan to in the future, should be installed at the same time to cut down on unnecessary spending.

 

Ok, so I need to order a quantity of 2 from the link posted above, and a different pinion flange...and thats all?


Also, what do you mean when you say "whole third." I know NOTHING about gearing.

 

No you need to order the link which is for the front. You gotta buy the rear one as well.

Not that easy. The easiest thing would be to buy this:

and

or
http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-131078-tacoma-e-locker-3rd.html
depending on which rear end you have.

The options above are the assembled 3rds.

 

I've gotta v6 so I guess it is the 3.73 rear end... Non Trd so no locker

 

If your having gears installed then a locker shouldnt add to the labor cost, you should do at this time to save you a big chunk of labor down the road..the carrier needs to be removed during a gear change anyway, and the locker will replace the stock carrier.

FYI the carrier is the main part in the differential that the ring ger is bolted to..

 

Ok here's my next question. I'm reading about people on this site regearing the front and rear and paying just over a grand for parts and labor. If I am reading right... Parts from ECGS alone will cost me over a grand without a locker. Something isn't adding up. That price is coming from the links 08pretaco shared with me

 

Regearing is an expensive thing. I just called an offroad shop near me, for gears, install kit and gear install with ARB install (not purchase)....1100 bucks just for the rear

 

installing gears is quite pricey, i bought 5.29s for front and back with installation kits and a new flange and it ran around a grand, and it was more for installation
