most people will run a 5.29 for a 35" tire and larger. keeps the rpms up a bit more and makes it driveable on the highway.

use this calculator to determine your engine rpm with different setups. http://www.csgnetwork.com/multirpmcalc.html

then use this page to find your transmission gearing http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/faq/parts/

I recommend setting the 4x4wire page as a favorite in your browser...its full of lots of good info.

That's not true. I seen some outhouse that have a pitched roof so I would give the outhouse the aero advantage.
