Best mechanical video I’ve ever seen; great explanations and speed up where things are self explanatory. Mentioning the size and type of sockets and tools needed is very much appreciated.
I just got a 23 Tacoma, coming from a 17 4Runner. I plan to re-gear my Tacoma. Haven't decided what ratio yet. Not planning on anything bigger then 33 tires max. Thanks for the how to video, doesn't look too hard.
Absolutely OUTSTANDING video. Your skill is unreal, and your ability to teach and explain things is fantastic. NOT that about 90% isn't going completely over my head. I'm just about the polar opposite of a mechanic, but I find this fascinating.
First check to make sure everything is connected and installed correctly. Check the plugs related to the ADD. Then run a scan to see the codes and go from there. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. The prices are all different depending on gearing and locker selection. Eastcoast Gear Supply has a ton of different options. Give them a call, they will walk you through the order process.
Not too shabby. Nice to see people using tie rod pullers instead of hit the thing with a metal hammer. Now you can do this R&R flat rate time for your friends. Only caveat would be to replace that drive seal but I'm just a bit OCD about things like that. 10/10 !!!
I will always recommend the 4.88 or 5.29. Because, inevitably you will want lager tires in the future. Happens to us all, the first set is just the beginning. Do your research on both those gear sets. Thanks for watching.
Bro what front ARB front locker did you go with? Part#? Been looking and I’m running 5.29s right now the options I can find doesn’t support 5.29s. Unless I’m reading it wrong
No worries had me tracking it down today. Per my receipt it’s ARB part number RD111, 8inch IFS 53mm carrier bearing. You can call East Coast Gear Supply to confirm exactly what you need. They will guide you. Just don’t buy anything till you know for sure.
@@ClassyTacos 100%! Trying to do my research now. Appreciate your time. Actually went back to watch your video again and your box with the instruction had the part number on it. Thanks again
hey buddy was ur problem that is moves as in it spun a bit and makes noise ? this is what my problem is i can spin my hand under the car about 3/8 turn each way
I didn't have any issues when I changed them. I did the diff change for gearing and lockers. Are you saying the cv axle turns 3/8s each way while you're parked wheels on the ground? If you thats not great.
I have 5.29 nitro gears on my Tacoma and I’m running 85w140 heavy duty Lucas gear oil. My front diff breather hose disconnected from the diff and has been spitting out fluid, I reconnected the hose and clamped it and it’s still seeping out fluid. My question is have you experienced this and do you think it would help to run a lighter fluid like 80w 90 or stock 75w90 to fix the leak issue? My thinking is that the 85w140 is too thick and it clogs up the breather hose. Any help is much appreciated thank you in advance.
A question to answer to help your self diagnose. Is it blowing off when you turn on the compressor or just driving? A couple things you can do. 1. is make sure the hose is not clogged and breather is functioning as intended. As is air is able to pass through the end easily. 2. is do not over fill the diff, once the locker is in there it takes up alot of the space the fluid used to be in. I end up putting in less than the factory stated amount. I do not have a measurement for you, it's just less. Something else you can do is extended the hose a bit higher and add an in line fuel filter. The in line fuel filter for a dirt bike or a lawn mower, get a clear one, kinda large one so you can see in it. They sell them at the auto parts store in the 2 cycle/ mower area. Sometimes they help with separating the oil and the air. Occasionally I get a little seepage at the breather tube, I have my hose clamped in with a screwable hose clamp. I hope that helps.
@@ClassyTacos first of all, thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. I don’t have a front locker so any leak is from regular driving. Last time I changed the diff fluid I filled it till the fluid went up to the fill plug. Maybe that’s more than what should really be in there? I will inspect the breather valve as well and see what could be the cause. But you don’t think the thick oil is the cause of this? Because I ordered some 80w90 to change it this weekend. It’s only my front diff also the rear seems to be fine.
@@DirtRoad_Chronicles For sure no worries. I see, thanks for the clarification on the front locker. I don't think it's the thicker fluid but who knows, it's worth a shot. For the front diff I believe the factory calls for 1.6 litters, check me on that. That amount of fluid is less than the amount needed for it to come out of the fill hole, if I remember correctly. It might just be over filled. Hope that helps.
great video brudda... I'm going 5.29's hopefully this fall, but I'm going to used a torsen type locker in each of them, thanks for the tips so I know what to look for when I do mine

What gears do you recommend for 275 70 17 (32 inch) All Terrains?
I will always recommend the 4.88 or 5.29. Because, inevitably you will want lager tires in the future. Happens to us all, the first set is just the beginning. Do your research on both those gear sets. Thanks for watching.
Isnt there a spacer/washer for the stub shaft?
No that I know of. Just the shat itself.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Good luck with the installs, let me know if you need anything.
thanks for sharing, what kinda mileage you getting with the new gears, and what size tires are your running?
I'm running 33s, milage is right around 14-15.
@@ClassyTacos thank you!
What's the cost to do front and rear
It really just depends on what you order. There are so many options. Thanks for watching.
