gears
i just recently got a hold of an 87 toyota pickup and my timing is idling really high and my gears are really low. i cant figure out why my timing is so high and i plan to have my gears re done. what do yall think i should switch my gears to. i need the truck as a work truck as well as a truck i can take to play in the mud on some occasions. the engine i have in my truck is a 22r.

Definitely search. There's only about 2 gear ratios people recommend.
There's a thread about gears created every week. There's enough answers out there already.
4.88 seems to be a standard ratio people recommend.

gear size is relative to tire size and if it's an auto or a stick
Get the truck running correctly first
4.88's = 33" tires
5.29's for 35" tires are the usual recommendations.
If this is a work truck with a rack, i would not go higher than 33" tires.
see the FSM link in my signature, you should find the correct manual you need or just pick up a timing light, tune up stuff (plugs, wires, cap, rotor) and a chilton's and have a fun weekend.
