? for those with 4.30 gears and 33s
Just wanted to know if anyone with 4.30 stock gears noticed a big drop in gas mileage or power when they went to 33s or 285/75? Oh I guess I should say auto 3.4 also.

So what would be a size to cause a regear? 315s? I drove a manual '00 Runner the other day, I think it had 4:10s. First gear seemed short. REAL SHORT.

4.30 gears, 35s, I would say I get 15-17 city, 18-20 highway...I have to use a GPS to figure distances, the odometer reads a little off.
I drive like a grandma on acid so I'm usually crawling at a snails pace as I watch the grass grow beneath me.

LOL! I can see why.
It doesn't look like you have the e-locker which points to 4.10s. Although you do have the auto... Would that be 4.30? Did Toyota make an adjustment for autos? Hmmm...maybe not because of the 3.4's torque. I'm thinking you have the 4.10s.
How does it drive on your bigger tires?

So to regear properly i should go down to 4.30?
Turding around town it's great, on the freeway and hills it kills. I've pretty much lost passing speed unless od is off and it rides at 3000, it pulls good in that range.

I run 33x1250's with 4.10's. I notice probably 1mpg difference in gas mileage which is normal for the extra drag from 10.5's to 12.5's. there isnt that much of a power difference, i used to drive my truck over Santiam pass here in Oregon every single weekend on the 33's-its one long steep uphill, and i never really had any power issues. I actually fried my diff and regeared it to 4.10 again, i kinda wish i had gone with 4.56 but its certainly not necessary and far more expensive.
