Finally Got The 35's On

[TFJ-4runner]

1.5" spacer up front with no spacer in the rear difference.

Here's the CV angles I promised as well. I am extremely happy I was able to maintain the almost exact same angle as they were stock. I had just one tiny rip that was at best a quarter inch long. It was clamped and everything else is perfectly fine. 70 miles have been put on it since the lift and zero problems or rubs.

​

It's been a pretty on going process for me but it's finally sitting right. The Calipers didn't require as much grinding this time which was refreshing. This setup also required less cutting. It is completely street able with no rubbing. Off road Ill focus a little more into the pinch well area so I will be completely positive it wont rub fully flexed. I always rains or is no warmer than 20 degrees when we grind. This was the third that's been grinded at my house and the weather has changed in seconds.

The ride is WAY more planted. The suspension has stiffened up some also making it feel more responsive when turning. As far as acceleration I honestly dont feel any loss at all. The biggest difference is that it will down shift sooner on a hill to keep up speed. No more different that my last with 33x12.50.

The alignment is being done Monday to make sure they wear as even as possible. The speed also jumped 10 mph so instead of being five under I'm now 5 over. All info on the build I'll be updating in the build thread. Thanks everyone for providing information on making this possible. Yes, the search bar DOES work.

Looks cool. What do you mean about the speedo though? Wouldn't it be even slower with bigger tires? Or did you regear it too?

Very nice, what lift do you have? got a link to your thread?

I like it man!

You know how when you run a different size tire it throws the speedometer off. It changed mine by 10 mph. so instead of registering five under it now reads five over. I should of been more clear. Sorry for the confusion.

You mean it should be reading under the actual speed. Larger diameter tires roll a greater distance in the rotation of the axle, so your car registers that you are traveling slower than you actually are.

Should be reading about 5 under now, not 5 over.

Correct. If stock size is 31" and 33" tires made you 5 under, 35" tires should have you an additional 5 under. It wouldn't read over unless you went to shorter than stock tires.

 

[TFJ-4runner]

Ah yes you are both right...its the other way around. I checked the seed last night using a gps speedometer app and it was as you said. Guess I'm just used to saying it how it was prior to this.

Time to trim those fenders!

 

[PitbullRescuer]

It looks awesome. Are those 15" wheels? How drastic is the CV angle?

 

[thorridder]

what gears?? i just went from 33/12.5 to 35/12.5 and it made the speed go down 2 mph. with my gps on 33" said i was going 32 with the truck saying 30, did 35" and says 34 now. im on 4.56 gears. your 10 mph seems like a lot to me.

 

[fire931]

Looks great!! I'll be doing the same thing in the next few weeks. Are you still on stock gears?

It's all trim and grinded down to drive without any rubbing.

Thanks, yes it's on 15's and I'll post pics of from all sides tomorrow when its warmer. The angle is not bad at all really. I had a baby hair crack in the passanger axle and its ben fixed. Other than that no rips and they sit at a pretty nice angle.

Factory gears, so I believe locker thirds have a 4:30. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's 10mph and it was off on the stock tires so the change I can't really tell you why its that way.

I'm sure it will be sick and yes stock gears. Getting rolling is no problem and hardly and different. You'll see the difference when trying to maintain in the top end area.

Nice! Well mine is a 5spd so I'm guessing I'll have a bit easier time keeping her going until I get the re gear done.

Since yours is the same color I showed the pics to my wife and it sold her on the 35's

All locker 3rds are not 4:30. Mine is 4:10.

 

[fire931]

MOST auto's have 4.30's and MOST 5spds came with 4.10's. Obviously there are a few exceptions but in general that's how they are. You can always check the code in the door to verify though.

Yes it should but I have a gear on you. Still would take the 5 spd though.

True but like fire stated it's mostly 5sp that are not.

It's a 4:30 I'm almost positive. I've got got four to compare with all of them being 3.4's. The two that are non locker lack that pep of the two with the lockers. I'll get it pulled for sure though...

Moar pictures pleeze.....:naughty:

And Toyota also sold e-locked thirds with 4.56s. I spent a lot of time e-mailing with Phong when he was doing the research for an e-locker install before I finally decided to go with ARBs amd 4.88s. Sonoran Steel still has his original article available with the part numbers.
