4.88’s with 265/75/16 KO2’s. 2017 3rd gen TRD OR AT. I’ve had them a little over a year or so. Truck runs great. 2500 RPM’s at 80 MPH. Also running OV Tune. Gears are by far the best mod. I should have done them right away.

I'm over here like "Should I really spend the money right now on skid plates for my Tacoma?" Meanwhile Tacomaholic is regearing his truck lol

I have the 5.29 regear with no armor on 33s....its awesome! 🤣 Thanks to Scott and the boyz at Nitro! 😎👍🇺🇸

Your video was a big help for doing my rear end. Now I'm doing the front today. But since I'm down there I'm literally replacing everything in the front seeing as I have 145,000 miles on it.

Good vid. I’m have the 5.29’s installed along with the ECGS bushing upgrade in a week. My tacoma developed the infamous front end vibration after a 2.5” Icon stage 8 lift.

I went with 5.29's a year ago after changing to 33's. I also plan to pull a travel trailer. The programmer to adjust for the gears and tires had been the issue. Keeps resetting. That aside, good acceleration, but lose the top end. But still glad I had them installed.

Laughs while I look outside at my 84 yota pickup with stock gears running on 38.5 boggers. Poor little 22r puts in WORK

Keep it comin brotha love your material.

I'm running 285's I did the 4:88 regear with REM polish for my truck. I've never been happier with how my truck drives. It felt like a completely different truck.

Nice, the day finally came!!

What a noob lol, he got gear oil on his hand. Just kidding bro. Your taco wrap is sick, gears are next for me. I'm going 4:88 Nitro as well. Great video!

I'm make pretty decent amount of money on the hour. I need to be on your pay scale though lol

Watched this vid 5 times. Forgot to disengage my elocker and came bsck to this vid. Had to unplug it and it all over. Just the elocker

What a fantastic video! Very informative

Wow, very impressive work.

Awesome video! Very detailed!

At 18:19 you say the torque for carrier bolts is 18ft lbs, that is for the studs, the bolts are 38 ft lbs.

I think I forgot to post my comment I have a 2016 Tacoma SR5 with a 3 l V6 bought the pedal Commander love it had my friends tried on their third gen Tacomas they liked it so much they went out and bought one for themselves it's a great module to have fun was if you don't like it turn it off and it's like you never plugged it in or unplug it plugged back in the original cable to the throttle and sell it . what mods or mini mods are next?

Great video, once they get broken in let us know how you like the 4.88s.

Woooo getting mine done Monday

Beautiful

Great content you should have a KZfaq channel !

Great video! Would be cool to do this 😁

Without going through all your videos. Could you be so kind to tell me where you purchased your CV joint protectors. Great video BTW

Very nice.

I got a question if you had to choose between a 2003 Toyota Tacoma and a 2020 Toyota Tacoma which one would you buy.

👍👍👍

Yo! Looking to upgrade with my 33s, on ECGS, how to you select the nitro gears specifically with the 3rd member and clamshell? Or are all of them supplied with nitro gears? Also, wanting to upgrading from stock to 4.10. Want to maintain decent highway rpms as this is my travel hunting rig. Would anyone suggest 4.56 over 4.10? Running a camper shell, roof rack and a front small hidden winch bumper system

Is it fair to ask should an individual be offroading that knows so little about there vehicle or has to have some else do what in the total scheme of things is basic work? Not trying to be negative but what does Tacomaholic do when he has a mechanical on the trail. I am glad he is trying to learn but when he does go out I hope he takes someone such as his friend that did the work with him.

Hi, sir just wanted to know if you are getting a hotel from the rear end when letting off the throttle at any speeds? “Coasting” as I just re geared my Tacoma with nitro 4:88’s and I’m getting a noticeable howl from the rear diff only when coasting from 63 mph down to 53 mph only . Thanks in advance...

I just put 4.88 Nitro gears with 35's. Plust front and rear ARB LOCKERS. My question is how what do your RPM's run at like at 70 MPH? I'm at 2500rpm's at 70. Seems a little high

So in overdrive with 35s at 70 what rpm are you at. All I see on the internet is about 3rd gens. It doesn’t help because we (2nd gen) don’t have a 6th gear so that’s not the data I want to know.

you have to do the front and the back at the same time? what elocker did you go with?

Quick off the line, screaming on the HWY rpm's are way up there. 456 or 430.

What was welded on to boil the diff fluid whatd yo attach or take off?

Never meet a mechanic that used those huge gloves .. 🧤

Is it just me, or are you missing the bushings for the lower shock bolts? All I could see was just a bolt going through the lower shock mounting hole.

Did you do a review of the gears already??? Can you post one up if you havent done soooo...Im want some more inputs before doing it. What was your total cost? There is a place locally that going to charge me 2k for the swap if I remove my diffs and bring it to them they will put in gears for me and I would just need to install it back in.

What would you say the level of difficulty is on the front diff. About to do it myself

So what are your thoughts about the 35 life and regear

how do you like the 488's? Do you think its definitely worth it?

Did you consider 5:29s? I am thinking about it but don’t want my taco driving like a bread truck

if you just buy the gears, do you need to drop that entire front assembly? or can you pop off the 3rd member similar to the rear swap?

man I wish there was a set up for the rear 2wd tacomas

How has the 35s and the re-gearing affected your gas mileage?

Few years later… how’s the gears? and what MPG you seeing city/highway?

I'm surprised you went 4.88. Is the gearing different between auto and manual?

I must admit... I was surprised you had a 2 piece driveshaft still. But I guess since you only drive it to the mall it guess it does not effect anything (sorry... couldn't resist since you mentioned it in the video)

👍

How much more traction and clearance is 35 inch tires gonna give ya?

Was it worth it sir?? How much did u spend on the project??

Doesnt work with the factory e-locker? You kind of flew thru that.

Is this the most important mod for the 3rd gen Tacoma with 35s? What about OV Tune for the trans?

I was looking at their site and didn’t see an option to choose the Nitro gears. Do they just come with them now, or is there another way to ask for Nitro’s that you know of?

Where is the video after the installation and review?

Thought if you had 35's they recommend the 5.29?

I missed the video on how to install the grease fitting zerks...Correction, grease fitting zerk caps.

What is the price you pay before the core charge? I comment as I am watching so if you mention it later on I am sorry for asking but ya know lol

Sorry iPhone correction there NOT hotel but howl

what’s the mpg like after the regear

WHAT YEAR IS THE TACOMA 2ND GEN?

Friends don't let friends 4.88

FIRST PROPERLY BREAK IN THOSE GEARS. dont want to see you doing that again.

@04:06 gear oil is the least favorite aroma in the entire taco. Whoever successfully engineers and markets "New Fresh Scent" synthetic gear oil will make billions.
