I thought it needed more "Smooth Criminal"
Well, here is some of the highlights from Bridgeport today. I tried out my new Super Swamper TSLs. They are bad ass! They are defintently worth the $400 I gave for them, 
.
How the day started.
An AMAZING rig we saw there. It was a full tube limo with lockers f/r, hydro steering f/r, an LS1 motor, and everything but a game system onboard.
Quick pic during the day.

Group pic at the end of the day.
The 4Runner loaded up and the Tacoma looking like a real towing rig. The Tacoma did really good today pulling it up there and back.

Now you just need some lockers and t-case gears and you're set.
Yep. My wife starts a new job on the 25th. Hopefully this winter I'll have some "spare" cash for some gears, locker, and dropping an RV cam into my 22RE. I'm also looking at the MSD add on. I ran one on my Ford I6 and it made a good difference for low end smoothness and power.

If you stick a 4.7 gear set in the transfer case you'll have more torque than you will know what to do with, I'd leave the diff gears alone untill you break one and just get some lunchbox lockers F/R and flat belly it with a transfer case clocking kit.
Must use some Google... I'll get back to you on that. As for the gear set swap - I'll loose my upper end won't I? I'm still trying to keep it streetable for now.

Transfer case gears

Clocking my not be the best option but rather the drive train lift that rob did as it seems inchworm has discontinued their single case clocking ring.
As for the diff gears if you're not going to drive it on the street a lot then IMO they are somewhat of a waste of money as they mostly make it more streetable you'll have plenty on the low end with stock gears but be struggling to do 70.

Pulling in reverse will help you regear sooner
So my low range double down and goes to 4.7:1 and my high range stays 1:1? What is the draw back?

I know I've seen/done it both ways. Is there really a "golden" rule to it?

There is no drawback, toyota should have built them like that from the get go
R&P gears have a drive and a coast side with the drive side being stronger, they designed so that when moving forward the gears are meshing on the drive side, in reverse they are meshing on the coast side and the gears become significantly weaker.

what he said
Edit: Awh shucks!!! don't listen to me! I've blown more gears in forward than you would in a normal life time!!

The draw back is that you can only do 15mph in 4LO instead of 30-40. Not really that big of a deal unless you go to the beach alot. I like to put it in 4 lo so I don't put as much wear on the tranny and engine, but having to keep it at 15mph would kinda suck ass.
I generally don't use 4LO until 4HI can't make it; so that wouldn't be such a bad thing for me I guess. One more thing goes on "the list".

4.7's are the way to go. Even with dual cases I normally cruise around the trails in 4.7:1... in 3rd gear or better most of the time. I rarely use 2.28.. and 10.71 is used even less. Its so fricking low the thing will climb almost any obstacle in 5th gear.
