The 4.88 mega thread!!

That is not a bad price at all. I already have an arb rear locker, although if opening up the pumpkin, I’d consider adding in the front ,although I doubt I would ever need it

 

I believe sdhq has them in stock ready to ship. They made a huge order several months ago so I think they are well st9ckes

 

Mine are going in on Monday from SDHQ!

 

Excellent info (for future use). Thank you!

 

Confirmed through my dealer.

 

Even at that case if you buy the pre assembled ECGS units they have a 5 year warranty that will probably be way better than factory anyways.

 

You can get a pre assemble pumpkin? Man that would make things so much easier.

 

Yup

Getting mine put in at the end of the month! Has anyone put in a front locker yet? Is it worth it since it’ll already be open?

 

I don’t have it done yet, but will be putting in an ARB locker while my gears are being done. Going off the top of my head, the locker is @ $500 Plus a next larger size compressor. I think with labor it’s around $900 to $1000 addition. I’ll verify when I’m at my PC.

 

Cool let me know what you find, i'll contact SDHQ and ask them as well since they are doing my gears.

 

So, I looked at my invoice for the cost of adding the front locker.

ARB Air Locker = $940
ARB Compressor = $730
Labor = $450

I don’t recall which compressor it is, but it’s like the next larger size so you can air up tires.

However, I was way off the mark from I told you before. It’s over $2000

 

Sounds like you need a new service advisor

 

Who owns the truck you or Toyota?

 

Told my service department I have every intention of re gearing. They said don’t bring it in for any rear end or transfer case problems and we will be good. I said sounds good to me.

 

Anyone have the 4:30 ring and pinions out of a TRD OR they wanna sell me? I'll never go bigger than 32's and I think the 4:30s would be perfect for the way I drive.

 

Check the classifieds someone is selling

 

Just got a call from ECGS for my order placed in Dec. They are currently out of stock of gears and no ETA on when Nitro will be making more so if you can find gears anywhere then grab them, if not then prepare yourself for a wait.

 

I find it interesting that there is so much demand to change the gears in this truck that the MFG cant even keep up with the supply, yet on other threads folks say their is no problem. Glad i got my gears installed or I would have dumped this truck by now.

 

Yep, Just heard from ECGS that they have none of the front gear setups and no ETA of when they'll be in stock again... I've waited this long to make the 4.88 plunge, what's another month or so...
