So far I only swaped the rear end to see if I like the 4:56s or not then I will swap the IFS with 4:56 gears.
The rear end was easy to swap, So far I like working on these Yota's! It took me about 6 hours working at a very casual pase. Im sure I could do it in atleast 3 hours now if not 2. I was by my self and managed to lift the 3rd in without any help.

I have not driven it very much yet but I did notice that the engine is not under so much of a load now. The small hills that I went up seemed easier and I actually have some acceleration capabilities now wile driving up hill. On the short Highway ran that I did, I noticed that the RPMs at 70 miles per hour are now around 2800-3000 in 5th gear.

I need help bleeding the brakes and more time to drive it to give you a full answer, but I think it will be worth it in the end.

Maybe I should have gone 4:88 and 33s but Ill wait until I do the SAS. And that’s what they all say!!!!!

Ouch 6hrs.......... damn. I could change mine out in an hour by myself, lets just say i have done it a few times . Should take you about 3hrs to do the front yourself, i did mine in 3hrs for the first time and only needed help actually putting the diff in and out.

5.29's when you swap it

That includes lunch a part store run. 6 sets on the bench press (It was upper body workout day) And a trip to my Brother in laws house.

On the front I have a quick question.
Did you remove your stock flange bolts and replace them with removable ones? And how do you remove them? On a press? The previous IFS owner had a couple of them removed.

I removed the pressed in bolts. All I did was hit them with an air chisel. I'm gonna be doing this on the 4.88's I am hopefully picking up tomorrow!
