    Had mine done at Southern Offroad Specialists in georgia, Nitro gear recommended them. i believe they did a great job. break in is finally over and i have no issues. changed the oil in the diff and had very minimal break in metal flakes. i love the 5.29's i finally got on it this morning hit about 5.5k rpm 2-4th gear and it was hauling ass! love it.

    most of the time i hit 6th fairly quick ~50mpg and it will hold 6th very well uphill and if i need to slow down to say about 40 then start up again i can still maintain 6th and accelerate nicely.

    most of the time i do skip 5th gear.

    Reverse is still a nightmare up hill :frusty: lol.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Who doesn’t like going 40 in reverse ;)

    I called them but I guess they won’t install gears unless you purchase through them (I bought mine online). Thank you for the info though. The search continues...

    I've been trying to decide whether I want to get 5.29s or 4.88s. My truck isn't lifted and have stock tires. I do have a little extra weight because of my diamondback cover and steps. I have the ovtune and since have been driving faster on the highway (found myself going 85-90). My concern is what do the rpms run at at those speeds.

    A bed cover and steps are hardly considered to be “extra weight”. I’m pushing over 800lbs just in armor haha.

    This is true I am more concerned about how high the rpms will be. I just don't want to be doing 90mph and the rpms being above 3k.

    Look up the transmission gearing and plug it all into a calculator online. Not terribly difficult to figure it out.

    Manual transmission? 4.88
    Automatic transmission? Still needs 4.88 lol

    View nitro gear video on YouTube where he discusses 4.88 in a stock Tacoma.

    If I had come alone, I’d at least drop in to let you look and take some measurements.

    After today, this trip belongs to the wife and daughter. :D

    Picked up my truck from ECGS!
    Now obviously I can’t give a good opinion yet because I’ve only driven it for ~25 min and didn’t go over 45mph, but.....
    I think I’m going to be able to pop some sweet wheelies in this bish.
    :rofl:

    Can’t wait to get the break in period done. Gotta see how it works for every day driving, off roading, and towing.
    Also, not that I give a shit, but I’ll report on MPGs too.
