TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

You reconsider your delema ??

 

No dilemma. Keeping mine til it don't drive no more.

 

Lol, my bad, got you confused with a different member and his delema to buy a supercharged tacoma

 

@Coot83 Hey your regeared right? 4.56?? How do you like that setup.....if that’s what you have....

 

I have 4.56's with 35s and it drives fantastic.

I'd also be willing to sell for the right price.

 

What do most people do once they slap on 285’s or 35’s....4.56? Is that the happy medium to get the pep back like stock? Also, I have never looked into what regearing costs. What does this project go for ballpark?

 

IMO you really don't need to regear until 35s. I have 285s with stock gearing and it does great. Other guys can speak about cost but its ay least a couple grand.

 

Agreed, you don't "need" to regear for 33s, or 35s really. The biggest issue I had with 35s was slight uphill grades on the interstate it would hunt for gears a little. I also got better fuel mileage after the regear. I currently get around 16mpg mixed city/highway, and my truck is very far from stock. Plan on the regear costing at least around $1500 with all parts and fluids. That's a DIY price, and it's an easy job. ECGS is the way to go for that.

 

Yeah I know it ain’t cheap. Some guys were saying on the s/c thread that it would definitely help regain power lost from going bigger with your wheels. I’m diggin the van too. I’d like to buy a sprinter and live the vanlife for a year or so.

 

Supercharger is only way to go!! Honestly couldn’t imagine not having one. It’s nice to have as much power as you realistically need!

 

It’s even nicer with a few easy mods....

 

Just enough, not too much. I like it.

 

I missed all the fun about plastidip the last couple pages. It looks great for like a month ... here’s my bro’s 3Jogger hunting rig after a bit.

 

What wheels are you running

 

Stocker fakelockers with Spidertrax

 

Thought so, those TRD wheels don’t stick out like that without spidertrax

 

The stock tires are sure ugly but they’re pretty good on snow and ice! I’ll definitely upgrade when the time comes because they’re almost so ugly I’ve been considering on just replacing them, but I’ll wait until they wear out!

 

You can get pretty decent money for them on CL as long as they have some treadwear left, then put the money into the new rubber.
I always pull my tires with about 20% life left and sell them to someone who needs them to pass safety inspection. Win-win.

 

While we're doing this...

 

My stock tires are pretty much new. I think only 3000 miles on them!
