Anyone have opinions on gear ratios and tire size? Obviously that depends on vehicle use, hp, rpm range, transmission, etc, but can anyone drop down what they're running? Right now I have a 2001 dodge dakota 4.7l v8. 230hp at 4,600 rpm and 290 tq at roughly 3,600 rpm. (From what I could find for a stock 01 4.7) I'm getting 4.10s installed and I'm running 33s. Right now it's a daily, but want to build out later.
4.10 will be a good all around gear with your setup. If you go to bigger tires and want more offroad only use then something like 4.88 or 5.13 would do you good.
@@thezombikilla yeah, I'll run this setup for a while and see how I like it. I'll definitely be moving up to 35s the next set of tires and run the 4.10s for a bit until I can decide if I'll stop at 35s or move to to 37s ha. For sure if I go 37s ill change to 4.88s, but I don't know if going to 4.56s for the 35s is worth it if I end up going 37s ha
@@usMarinecuv902 i have a WJ with same engine/tranny as you. 37's on 1 tons with 3.73s, gonna move to 5.38s. previous axles i had 5.13s with 32s and was fairly happy with it.
@@dobermanracing Any body doing REM finishes? I had the opportunity a number of years ago to visit a number Nascar shops. Did not get to go into Penske's gear room but could see into and every gear (trans and axles) were REM finished. And all the teams were running a ball/convexed shaped splined axle at wheel end to enable to shim spindle for both toe and camber.
Need to school us on wheel hubs next. Front and rear. Along with brake assemblies.
Need more of this. Want to learn and eventually build my own pre-runner.
🌵Awesome video 🍻🌵
Nice, I always wondered how a full float axle set up worked!! Good informational video!!
You guys have the best friends everyone’s super cool and knowledgeable

Loved this video. Shows how much I don't know
Just set up a Gm 12 bolt truck axle before watching this on my lunch break .
super informational vid broham 🤙🏽😎
Thanks! I was thinking about a junkyard Explorer swap For my Ranger.
But I did not know all of that.
They have C-Clip eliminators if that was a worry you had about running an Explorer Axle
@@blkscorpion01 I didn't know that.. But will definitely look into doing that. Thanks.
I like that Datsun in the background
Nice video..
Torino?!! .....what Pick-a Part yard has 50 year Torino there for snagging the 3rd menber, lolol. Great video, awesome !
unreal
Needs to do the same about front solid axles next
🤙
So much good information. I should have gone with a full floater. Can I upgrade to a Full Floater from a semi-floater on my Currie F9 3.5" tube axle?
Is there a walk around on black hats 4thgen 4Runner ?
I want to see that as well.
Sooooon! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Nice job
Where is AJ ?

Coatings and or finishes on gears? Oil choices?
Cryo treat the gears and bearings. 85w140 redline gear oil.
