Hey everybody i am trading my 1991 explorer for a 1985 toyota p/u trail rig with a substantial lift and 33 in tires. I am wondering if it is okay to run the 4.11 in the rear with the 5.29 up front in 4 wheel drive or if this will hurt any parts? and is it also hard on the rest of the drive train to pull the 33's with 4.11 gears.
-He does have a third member with the 5.29 diff. but he said the teeth slip a little, but its not too bad lookin.

x2! DO NOT USE 4WD!!!


You will destroy a lot of parts. Get a set of 5.29s for the rear.

x4...

 

^What they said^

 

HAHA I WILL NOT PUT IT IN 4wd!!!!!!!!!!
So where would be the easiest and cheapest way to get 5.29's in the rear? and could i find somebody to rebuild the 5.29?

 

Where are you located? If you're in AZ, ZUK is highly recommended.

 

Parts go boom. 4WD no work.

 

i live in denver, CO.

 

Nevermind what these n00bs are saying.

Put it in 4wheel drive and wheel the hell out of it!

 

yeah, then have a name like "DeathBecomesIt"
and like x2,000 on the no 4wd poll..

Since you are in Denver, just buy a set of 5.29's. We have some local toyota techs who are looking for side work, and will give you a factory toyota gear set up for a good price.

If you are interested, give me a PM and I'll get you in touch.

 

yeah big big no no. im not sure what he means by "teeth slip a little bit but its not too bad" pretty sure any ring gear deflection is considered more than just bad in my book...

 

x2! Scotty C on this board is not too far from Denver and is pretty good too.
