What GEARS & TIRES are you running?

Everyone seems to have their preferences, but what GEARS and TIRES are you running on your Toyota?

I'll start it off: '86 22r 5spd with stock 4.10's on 31 x 10.50 R-15's--yeah it's SLOW!

91 4WD truck, 22RE, 5spd trans, 31 BFG(actual diameter about 30") on 15x6 rims, 4.56 gears. Police radar signs say I'm going 35mph when the speedo says 32mph.

Currently running 4.88's on 35x12.5's. Just about perfect. Climbs hills fine, speedo is spot on, and cruises nicely at speed.

22re 5 speed with 4.10's and 265/70/16 (31's) .... It's a little sluggish off the line, but look what I got today!!!!

I got the missing front for a set of 4.56's. Trying to figure out when I will get time to put em in. Until then, I will trip over them in the garage and drool.

Almost forgot the best part.... $220 for both!

91' extra cab 4x4, 3.73's with 255/85/16's (about a 34x9.50) and an auto. Pulls great on the highway and have to watch full throttle launches when the road is wet..........
Almost forgot to mention the 3.0..........turbo diesel! :-)

Not yet. Too cold here.

They rub at full lock. Nothing a little plasma won't fix.
