i have an 86 yota 1ton dually, how do i find out what gear ratio it has? i want to start gathering parts to make it 4x4. i'd like to just get an axle with the same gears

 

nobody, really?

 

welcome!

Here's some info, not sure if it'll apply to a dually but should work.

thanks, how about getting 15in or 16in rims for the dually? i want taller tires to help with the high rpm

 

maybe www.tirerack.com or www.treadepot.com I prefer tread depot personally, their prices are a bit better.

so a dually 4x4 toyota project? I like the sound of that! how bout some pics?

 

no luck, its that big pattern six lug that nobody sells. maybe factory?

 

found www.usa6x6.com right here in lawton oklahoma. they said they might be able to build some rims for me. ya'll should check these guys out, they do some preety cool stuff

 

mine is a 87, i wanna do the same make it a 4x4. not really for hardcore wheeling, just a farm truck, would like to know if the IFS from the same year would bolt in, or do you have to switch to a SAS system

 

I absolutely love duallies. Pictures for me please?

 

i have a couple pics in profile if you wanna check them out

i notice that my front wheels are different than yours, toyodually i have normal looking rims. 15in in the front, is this just another factory variation?

 

Mine are 14s and fit either front or back, and they are six lug

 

so did toyota not make a dually from the factory 4wd? ive never seen one . dont mean to jack this thread, but toyoduall ywhat all you got done to your cummins? i got a 98.5, specs in the sig

 

I also had them chromed, but it's a factory rim. Have you had any luck finding a larger rim? I've kinda wondered about a 6 to 8 lug conversion, kinda like the 8 to 10 for the full size 1 tons. I emailed a company on eBay that makes them but no response.

 

no 4x4 duallys from the factory that I know of. Mine was a chassis cab from the factory.

Dodge: Afe cold air intake, Afe blade runner intake manifold, diablo predator tuner(60 hp tune), and straight pipe kicked out infront of the rear wheel desert style.

 

i begin to wonder if mine started life as a dually mine is a 22re auto, and my front end is the same as any other 2wd pickup. it sucks cause i have to carry 2 different spares.

 

well i think one way to tell is the frame code. I think its the RN# mine is RN 75 should be on the tag on the firewall

 

was built as a chassis cab, must just be different. does anyone know if you can find a 4wd front axle with that huge six lug, its the last part i'm unable to find before i start build

 

yeah ditto that question. so what sas kit are you going with jynx?

 

was hoping for something stock/toyota, but havent had any luck yet. was contemplating an axle from a cherokee and switching to leaf springs. they are very cheap, lots of them, and plenty strong enough for farm use/hunting.
