Gear Help

[Hutch98]

I called Reider Racing to hopefully order 4:88 gears and install kit for the TRD rear and they have been on back order for over a year and does not look good from that end. Is there anyother place that has the gears for the TRD rear? Already have the 4:88's installed on my D44 so changing the ratio would not be an option at this point.

Thanks for the help

Did you try Randy's [Ring & Pinion]?

Is there a specific size for the v6 w/electric locker or can I use 8" v6 gears?

[AK98Taco]

It should be 8" V6, but your salesman should be able to tell you.

The non-TRD Taco axle is the same as the T-100, the 4cyl. 8" is the standard 8" housing, and the 8" V6 should be the locker. The only other available ring & pinion is the LandCruiser stuff.

4WPW said I needed gears for 8.8 diff that is the size to fit with the E-locker.

Sound correct?

8.8? The non-TRD rear is commonly called the 8.4", though that is only for differentiation from the standard 8"/TRD 8", as they are both the same size ring gear.

It sounds like 4WPW is full of crap. You should need an 8".

[Hutch98]

Called them back and they shipped the 8" the sales guy just said the wrong Diff size.

This SAS parts process is a pain

Thanks again Hutch

That's good. At least they figured out their problem and didn't ship you something completely different from what you asked for.
