87 4runner 5sp 5in on 33s drive truck maybe 5 hr a week other than wheelin how bad is a spool really for this amount of driving. and how would 5.29 gears run with 33s plan on 35s but not for a few months.

85toy

short answer: DO IT.

Do the spool, gears and tires all at the same time if you're going to be driving it on the road. But it shouldn't be terrible with 5.29s on 33s from what I've read on here.

jsn_stockard

spool it!!!!!! That little on road driving wont hurt. Just keep an eye or tire press and keep them equal

85toy

ya the 5.29s on 33s arnt that bad.

^liar!

How would you know with your 31's and 4.10's?

just a 22re

you guys both are liars how would 904 know anything he dont have a spool and now that he does his truck broke lol

ive had my spool (welded) for almost a year now same tyres just rotated once and she was my dd drove her about 300 miles a week to and from milwaukee to appleton ( about 2 hours) no problems

one thing though is when your trying to park it in a garage you have to roll it a little bit to get it into rev, from 1st if your at full lock but other then that there really fun to drive in the snow

and yes im 31's w/ 4:10 all wells

904_runner

hey, hey, hey................

he said 33's and 5.29's arn't bad which is what i have.

and by the way... I drove my truck today!

I have 35's with 5.29s and its good. with 33's you will probably be stuck in the slow lane on the highway but if your gonna get gears 5.29s is the way to go.

jsn_stockard

Speed wise, I think many of us spent time in the slow lane, even more on windy days. Spools are great if you cand drop the green for the ARB. Traction gets action!

well then mike about time ha ha and we drive toyotas with a 4cly we all spent time in the slow lane!

904_runner

lol.. Yea i hear you about the slow lane. 5.29's with 33's the fastest i have gone is to 75 according to the speedometer, and its way off. So i don't know exactly how fast i am going when i drive. pulling hills is a lot better now though. So im not complaining! lol

lowlifeyota

spoooooool! youll fall in love with your truck all over again

just a 22re

jsn_stockard

85toy

edit: mike i like your new avatar, is that your mommys car?

904_runner

Thanks Travis!

DO not spool it!!!! Lock it! Instead. Don't cheap out. You'll spend the $300 you spent on a locker on tires in a matter of months.

Jay351

I would buy a lockright. Its pretty much the same price but it will unlock in corners. Will save you $$ in the long run, up to you..
If you can sacrifice the shorter tire life span, do it.

p.s 5.29's and 33"s will make for a fun truck. Who wants to cruise at 80+miles per hour in a lifted truck anyways?

Fastest I ever go is 65-70..

Lots of opinions here. I'd say go with the majority or your gut feeling. I ran full spools on a Scout years ago and the dang thing ate 35's in less than a year. I'll tell you though that off road you couldn't stop the damn thing, with out the ram assist you couldn't turn it either but in a straight line it'd climb sheer walls till it fell over backwards.

If it were me though I'd drop a little money on a lunch box type locker.
