Unless you full tub your firewall you will rub no matter what, get used to it. Having more gears is always better ie: dual cases or multi speed tcases ie: Atlas. You want a clutch you can slip, agressive on/off type clutches are useless.

Some things I've learned, although I advocate 4.88s for manuals as a great compromise, that's exactly what it is a compromise, when you get into long crawling trails ie Rubicon, having more gear is definitely nicer to your clutch. What I wanted to get across here is the the 2.7 can do it, it will do it if you want it too. You'll find that your 5th gear cruising ratio with 5.29s and 37s is lower than with 35s and 4.88s If you wanna go up to 37s it's been proven that LT setups and mid travel setups can handle it, and according to the handy dandy gear ratio calculator Pinch weld and fire wall smashing required!! Wheels are important you need to select a wheel with enough backspacing so you don't rub as bad, 4.25 is the minimum, the more backspacing the further those tires get pushed out !! You'll need to do the standard amount of cutting to fit the big tires on the Tacoma, 2.5' front fender chop, cab mount cut as much as possible or relocate, rears will require trim with stock shackle, shackle flip you can leave them. Obviously any time you regear that is the time to add lockers!! It gets the truck up and moving and you don't have to stand on the clutch too much when crawling around on the trails. Imo for a 5spd, 4.88 is the perfect compromise between milage and crawling. What is the right gear ratio you ask, well that depends what you wanna do. Auto guys will notice the most difference here as the auto isn't the greatest.įor 3rd gen manuals you guys might actually benefit from a regear, imo the 3.90 is way to high to use the potential that the 2.7 has, your cheapest route is find a set of 4.10 2nd gen diffs at the wrecker and toss em in, we are still talking about 33' or less tires here.ģrd gen auto you guys got 4.30 gears which should be good for 33s.įull armoured bumpers +tent and gear, I noticed a bit more downshifting here, but the 4.10s still did the job and I was seeing around 18-20 mpgĪwesome just do it don't let anyone tell you not to!! With the right gear ratio you won't hardly notice the tires except for all the broken necks and wet panties left in your wake.

Imo anything below a 35 doesn't need a regear, unless you plan to stay that way, the stock 4.10 offering in the second gen is more than enough to move your 33' and smaller tires, manual guys will just be able to downshift and send it, auto guys well you should have bought a manual lol. Now 35+' tires on 4cyl trucks is nothing new, people have been doing it since the 80s, but there's some taco specific stuff that you'll need the know and consider, as well as some 2.7L specific stuff. I thought I would share my experiences and insights. So I've seen a lot of posts go out there, questioning whether or not the 2.7 can handle the rigors of having large tires added to it.
