gears for 31" tires?
I have an 86 4runner with stock gears (im assuming) and have 31 inch tires. I was reading somewhere that 31 inch tires and stock gears can be bad for the clutch. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? thanks -aaron

I don't think 31's and stock gears will hurt anything. If you went to 33's or bigger you may have issues.

im running stock gears and 31's, it will wear the clutch a little more in stop and go traffic off road because more slippage is necessary to get the vehicle moving as well as. the amount is totally negligible IMO. i will be regearing for anything larger though.

I run 4.56 gears with 31's, which is pretty close to stock gearing. I think the stock tire size for your truck was 225/75R15. 31's would be three sizes up from that.

Were there ever 4.56's before the 92-92 Runners? I thought the early Toy trucks had 3.9's and 4.10's.
Are you slipping your clutch to take off? Does it stink a lot? Do you ever smoke it when wheeling?
It is not "good" for the clutch to be "incorrectly" geared, but being that close is not bad.
I think that 5.29's should be stock in any runner with an auto and 4.88's for anything with a stick.

I thought that 4.88's were only an auto with 31's package which was only 94 and 95?

Sorry seeing how everyone here seems to have a good grip on this stuff.
I have an 85' Runner 5spd. I have almost bald 31 MTR's, I wanna run 33's soon, possibly 35s in the future, would you recomend 4.88s or 5.29s, I personally don't like the idea of 5.29s they are a little too low and brittle compared to the 4.88s, Anyone have some input on that.

I'd go for the 4.88s...they should be Ok with the 33's. 35's might be a stretch...but having 5.29's with 33's for even a small amount of time would suck, IMHO.

I've been trying to figure out what gears I have in my 4runner. I have a 3.0 w/ an automatic, door jam sticker says it came w/ 225/75/15's as stock tires when I bought it it had 31's on it. Code on the door jam says -G144/A34OH- any help would be good. even went to the
dealer and they said they don't know maybe 4.56's.
