Also I forgot to mention. Figure out what is in it now cause toys came with all types of different ratios stock. most likely it has the 4.10 but some had 4.38 and if its an auto trans some had 4.88 gears. I drive mine more on the highway than anything else. But I like the 4.88 better because it has a bigger pinion than a 5.29 which makes it a little stronger. and if it doesnt go slow enough for you offroad you can always throw 4.7 gears in the t-case or run dual cases. anyways everyone has their opinion. And thats just mine :awesomework:

wow are you running 4.88's and 39.5 with a 22r series motor:eeek:

my rig 5.29's daily driven for 3 years. no problems felt perfect on the road with 35's..never had a problem with small pinion. or high revving freeway speeds..plus when you go to wheel you are geared decent,otherwise you need dual cases with the other choice.

my kids rig 4.88's (motor a lil tired) but the gears leave alot to be desired..

5.29s or you'll regret it.

No. its the 2.7 I pull three quads over the pass to go play at Moses Lake with it tho. and it gets between 19 - 21 mpg with everyday driving.

I just talked to a guy at Randys and he said the Toyota 5.29s are still made by Emmbros in Haryana, India.

Really. I dont drive down the freeway everyday cause the freeway moves to slow because apparently people like you think the speed limit is 45 :looser:

Odie's the man. He set my gears up.:awesomework:

Mallcrawler83 · Mar 31, 2010

x2 buy tg from odie

Bunk1 · Apr 1, 2010

Just give odie your drop outs and have him set the gears up. Anything other than 5.29's and you will regret it.

If you are running more street than trails 4.88 would be the way to go as Pokey said you will actually be too low for highway speeds and rev 3k rpm at 60, Im running 4.88 with 39.5 tires and my speedometer is dead on at any speed. And yes nitro gears kick ass

SO you're running 39.5" tires, 4.88 gears, and a 2.7 and you're getting 19-21mpg?:cheer: How! I really want to know, because I'm not even getting close to that with narrow 33's. :booo:
