so i want to go with taller gears for my 2wd toyota simply because it tops out too soon. i checked the vehicle code which was F292. that meas it has a 7.5" diff with 4.10 gears and it is 2 pinion open diff.so i was thinking of just getting an 8" from an 85 or older 4wd truck and then buying a new ring/pinion. who would be a good place to go through.

thats why i was gonna get a COMPLETE rear end for a pre '85. housing and all. but if it would be cheaper for the 7.5 i might just stick with that.. for a little help i run 205/40/R16 tires. right now i think i top out at around 110, i think. thats just an estimate. that would also be pushing some serious RPM's. i go through the gears quicker than i would like to. 1st is about 20mph, 2nd is about 30. but thats being gentle on the RPM's. any ideas as to how tall i should go?
...what wouldnt i do... my last 2wd toy smoked a BMW that tryed to pass me, uphill, and i had a bed full of trash. this one i want to go really fast. when i go to change out my clutch (soon) im gonna have my dads shop mill down the fly wheel till its about 9lbs for fast rev's.

The 4wd axle will have 6-lug axle shafts as well. Unless those are swappable?

well you can go too 373 gears and that will let you get more top end and go with an 8 inch :awesomework:
im not sure of the splines on an 80 toy
who could i go through for that tall of gears?
so would i have to get a hold of Randys R&P to get gears. because i cant seem to find and in the 3.73 flavor. unless someone can tell me which toyota came stock with the 3.56's. in which case i would just get those.

Not one of the better ideas but cheap. Just be sure to run a scatter shield if you value your feet.
