ive searched and searched, but some people are saying that 5.29s are for 37s and some say for 35s.

I have a 89 toyota pick up.
35"x14.5x15 Super Swamper Boggers.
and right now i have:
4.10s in the rear.
and 4.10s in my front '85 solid axle.

so should i go with 4.88s or 5.29?

and i want to do my gears and lockers at the same time for obvious reasons. so what locker is cheap and reliable but good on the street?

Both gears will work. A 4.88 will give you the most accurate speedometer reading (mine is almost dead on with 35s/4.88s). A 5.29 gear will give you a bit more zip, sinze the engine will have to work less hard to turn those tires. With bias ply Boggers, I would go with a 5.29 gear. I used to run 5.29s with 33" Swamper SXs and BFG MTs. With the Swampers on, it was like I lost one whole gear in the tranny, had to run in 4th gear most of the time compared to the lighter, easier rolling BFGs:

5.29's all the way for ya!

you want 5.29. Aussies are inexpesive and good on the street.

i know all about the lincoln locker. I have one in my Ranger. HAHA '

but i got my boggers that i dont want to wear down on my yota. i was thinking of the Powertrax Lock-Right Locker. any good? it was recommended in this months off-road adventures magazine.

Only thing ive seen with lockers that in turns dissengage is that light weight trucks dont always do it and so its just like if it were welded or a spool. My friend runs an aussie and likes it. Could always go for the ARB and call it golden I know I know its expensive
