yeah makes ence for sure. i dont want to invest too much into my ifs because im going to do sas sometime and the less i put into my ifs the better, if i can find some 4.88's in 3rd for cheap that would be the best

 

You probably won't find any stock 4.88 3rds in a junk yard, very rare. Finding 4.56 3rds will still be difficult and they would be on the weak side for 34s anyways. Regearing your existing 3rds to 4.88 (or if it was me, 5.29s) is your best bet IMO. Then just sell your re-geared ifs front diff when you SAS. If you're going to do a cheap locker, throw a Detriot or an Aussie in there.

 

dang 91 toyota, you should be golden wit just bj spacers!!! but like i said im happy with my body lift and havent a had any problems with it. Imo it was a good way to get that extra bit of lift cause just the height of the bj spacers wont cutting it for me anymore. lol

 

I run 4:88's with 31" tires. It's an amazing power difference and I'm not looking forward to getting back to stock power when I go to 33's. You will not be sorry if you go with a little more expensive gears right off the bat - especially if you plan to run 34" tires. Also, because you have the 4cyl, you can make up the difference for the price of the gears if you go with the Aussie locker. I love mine!

 

5.29's is the right way

 

it seems like 91 toyota is gonna buy a set of used thirds. i think thats why he is going with 4.56's

 

And, technically, if you run 34" tires with 4:88 gears you're closer to stock performance, IIRC. 5.29's will give you more power than stock, right?

depends on transmission... and preference... you defiantly can't be sued over it... I hope it's still a free country...

you never know...

 

Ah, I knew there was something missing other than preference.

 

well maybe i will go with 5.29's in my 4cyl diffs so i can run aussies? anybody know of any cheap 5.29 gears? i know TG has em for 150 a pop but is that for ifs diffs too?

i think i will get the tires mounted on the truck with bj' spacers then see if i need to trim first. i hear you backgateyota, i find most extcabs look low compared to my truck lol.

thanks guys for the input

 

gears off of TG are just the ring and pinion. you'd have to pay someone to put them in which is gonna be pricey. you're better off finding used ones. or if you went 33s like i said, you can find used toyota diffs for 500 and just throw a locker of your choice in

 

im getting my 5.29's from a place called randys ring and pinion. the 5.29's are around 130bucks each, then another 120 each for the master install kits. they have the best deals that i have seen so far

 

Nice looking truck!
Keep up with the pictures.

 

yeah mak i hear you dude but 500 is too much and im lazy to look for 4.88's lmao and its not that bad to get somebody to install the gears for you?

sounds decent backgate. does this place install gears in your 3rds if u want?

 

thanks :p i hope it will look badass when i get some bigger tires, rightnow the 31"s are way to small and i really don't like it haha time for them to go

 

Hey, contact MSR on here (mikes speciality repair). Or check his website www.mikesspecialityrepair.com
See if he has a set of 4.88's used laying around. I had mike do both my diffs, locker and gearing. I bought a used set of 4.88's for the front cheap and they are perfect. My truck wheels like a tank!

 

I dont think they do man but ya might wanna check. the best thing to do is just go to shops and check prices. im taking mine to my mechanic because he does stuff to alot of toyotas and has a sick toyota crawler built to the max with 5.71's. lol

 

ok cool maybe i will give him a call some time soon. im kinda thinking 5.29's would be cool now, little bit lower than stock so i can get a little more torque offroad, and i dont hwy drive often so they might be better but we will see.

 

haha ok. well i can always find somebody around here to set gears up for me, i can install the lockers myself, i just dont want to mess the ring and pinions up haha

 

ya man. lockright seems preety easy set up. i would do it myself but since i geeting the gear changed might as well have em do it. lol
