Does anybody know where to get 5.29 gears for an 88 4runner

Many places.....I will recommend G2 Gear or Nitro as the better quality ones.

Here's G2.....I kinda tend to favor these because they are double shotpeened....and double lapped

Would I need to match the front with the rear I'm kinda new at this stuff

goose hunter

How do I know I have an 8 inch rear or are they all the same size

The rear of your 88 is 8"......the front is 7.5"
Doesn't make much difference if you get the "V6" gears....ot the 4 cyl Gears because they are both 8" and fit just fine in your rear 3rd.


Now, it does make a difference to get the right master install kit.....
If you have the V6 3.0 L engine then you need the V6 master install kit
If you have the 4 cyl 22RE then you need the 4 cyl kit for the 1988 year.

I was told by a buddy of mine last night that if I get 5.29 to run 33/10.5/15 my truck would be dog piss slow

I think it will be faster from the light than it is now.....

What does your buddy have?

goose hunter

Stick with stock gears and 33's if you want it to be slow.
^^ listen to ZUK, he is very knowledgeable.

Should I run 4.88 instead of 5.29 with 33's I was told with 5.29 it will rev higher on the highway. I drive a good bit on the highway for work 5 days a week

goose hunter

What would the RPM be at 70 mph with 5.29 gears

RJR

Do you have an auto or a manual? If manual, 4-spd or 5 spd?

goose hunter

5 speed 22re

RJR

Assuming a 16 inch rolling radius and a .838 overdrive 5th gear, about 3300 rpm.

goose hunter

I am going to put 33/10.5/15 on my truck if that makes a difference

RJR

That's what I have on mine, and they measure 16 inches from the ground to the center of the hub. That's the effective rolling radius. The rolling radius is slightly less than half the tire diameter because the tire flattens on the bottom.

Do u have your truck matched with the 5.29 gears

Yes goose hunter you need to match you gear ratios front and rear. If they are not matched you will have your front end and rear end spinning at different speeds. This will more than likely cause you to stall out in 4wd

cobolt23

With a 5 speed, 4:88 with 33" tires should give you stock performance with your speedo being very close to right on. With 5:29, you will have more get up and go, but rev about 500 rpm faster at 60.

Has anyone bought ebay 4.88 gears and if so are they worth it
