changing out rear ends
I want to change out the rear end of my 86 toyota 2wd 22r(?not sure the difference) with something with a better gear ( I.E. a pozi with 3.43 gears from an explorer or something like that). Now its not a rock crawler or off road truck just want to go faster and launch better, its sort of becoming a drag truck and because it surprises everyone. So any help you can add/ also any idea for the best cam and heads to put on please let me know

I am looking for a good launch so like 3.43 gears but a pozi would be nice and I need a new diff due to it being damaged so i was trying to think of what would work. What is the stock gear ratio for the 86 2wd?

Toyota didn't make a posi that fit in the 2wd trucks. But they did make a 3.42 gear ratio rear end.
There were 7 possible gear ratios for the 86 2wd truck; 3.07, 3.42 (turbo 2wd) , 3.58, 3.73, 3.90 (one ton single or dually) , 4.10 (one ton single rear wheels) and 4.30 (one ton single rear wheels)
IIRC the one ton dually used an 8" diff, VS the standard 7.5" 2wd.

just get a whole 8" rearend from the boneyard, then you can do what ever you want. you have a 7.5" rear now, so not a huge selection for gears and i don't think any LSD's or lockers
