4.88s or 5.29s. lock it up when you regear as well

eastsideyota · 10-05-2009, 09:38 PM

alright. 5.29s are better off road than on road right? and you mean get front air lockers?

BigBluePile · 10-05-2009, 09:38 PM

lol! oy.

What's your stock ratio now?

**Tofer** · 10-05-2009, 09:40 PM

if you already have the elocker rear then dont worry about it unless you really want to lock the front.

BigBluePile · 10-05-2009, 09:41 PM

it's an auto so IIRC you should probably go with 5.29's. Like I said, you may want to look that up on here to double check. Oh, and x2 on the locker/lsd in the rear...

eastsideyota · 10-05-2009, 09:41 PM

i have read that its 4.28

alright that sounds good i still gotta save up some money.

do front lockers make a big diffrance?

BigBluePile · 10-05-2009, 09:43 PM

well, its a mute point anyways, do you have the elocker?

eastsideyota · 10-05-2009, 09:45 PM

if e-locker means rear diff lock then yes i do

and what brand is the best for the money?

**Tofer** · 10-05-2009, 09:47 PM

yes front lockers make a difference, I dont know if i would go as far as saying as much as rear locker tho... i am locked in the front of both my rigs but havent used it on the baby runner and the few times i've used it on my big runner i was afraid of breaking birfs... they are useful in snow wheelin

eastsideyota · 10-05-2009, 10:02 PM

ok i think thats a little ways down the road. i have rear diff lock from the factory so thats good for now.

what about 5.13 ratio?

are marlin crawler gears good?

Marlin doesn't make gears they sell gears.....

Call East Coast Gear Supply and talk to Chase, say your from yotatech...

They don't make 5.13's for toyotas, I'd go with 5.29's

2x on East Coast Gear. He has great service and great prices.

ocdropzone · 10-06-2009, 09:13 AM

If you put a locker up front, get a selectable (like your elocker or an ARB)
If you are gonna do it, might as well do it now, bigger initial cost but cheaper in the long run in both time and $$$--only one tear down....

As mentioned-5.29's...they will put your truck back into a useable RPM especially on a DD.
