Thanks for the detailed breakdown. Got my 2022 Tacoma headed to the shop to get this done. I don't have near the skills or tools to do this. Couple of local shops turned the job down and pointed me to Tucson Differential .. that's all they do! I have a 4Wheel Camper on my rig so it's always carrying 1100 lbs and you can tell. The truck is always shifting and cruise control is about worthless. Pretty sure this will solve my problem.

Great video but is "how to re-gear" a little misleading? You just swapped diffs. Helpful anyway though

[@Adv4x4]

Considering this is the most efficient and easy way to regear any Toyota. (Unless you have all the tools and the experience to back it up) I wouldn’t consider this mis leading at all! This is the route 90% of people will go 👍🏼 thanks for watching man!

[@shawnesoutherland]

I just bought these from East coast- if you can afford the core charge up front (over $3k for front and rear total w/ core) than this is the way to go. Once I ship back the cores and get the deposit back, it'll end up costing me barely $300 more than it would've to just buy the gears from nitro or Yukon. And that's without the new bearings that ECGS installed with theirs! Two weeks to the day to get it to me here in Seattle too. Awesome deal imo

[@DanNguyen-bx9uz]

thanks for the detailed video, not many videos out there actually show us how to do this, thanks a lot

[@Adv4x4]

No problem! My buddy told me the same thing when he was researching about re gearing his truck so when he got the stuff ready we knew that a detailed video had to happen 👍🏼

[@earthblues92]

Finally a video that talks about the stub shaft! Thanks

[@Adv4x4]

No problem thanks for watching 👌🏼

[@ken85225]

Thanks for this vid.....one of the best for installing/removing the 3rd gen diffs.........I will recommend it to my customers 👍👍👍👍👍

[@othoapproto9603]

Thank you, learned a lot

[@mikemorgan4670]

Really good how to video Buddy. Clear, concise and detailed. Your commentary is always very easy to follow.

[@Adv4x4]

Thanks mike! Love making them!

[@useryggfdcc]

Excellent video. Now to find a shop in Canada to do the same.

[@beendip13]

Awesome glad you made this detailed video. I'm waiting to receive my diffs from ecgs once I get it your video will be very handy.

[@Adv4x4]

Awesome! It’s a worthwhile upgrade for sure. My truck is regeared as well and it’s money we’ll spent.

[@lucasr5675]

Very nice video. Well explained and super clear. Thank you for putting the time and making it.

[@Adv4x4]

Thanks for watching!

[@teddymuscio7419]

Very good detail. Great video

[@Adv4x4]

Thank you!

[@garypixel8103]

Nicely done video, appreciate the work you put into it. Very informative

[@Adv4x4]

Glad it was helpful!

[@abu-zaid300]

Nice work, can this be done on a Hilux diff-lock rear

[@Midnightkevin]

What are the advantages of regear the rear diff 🤔 and does it make a difference?

[@jacob6565]

Thanks for the detailed vid! I my new diffs should be in soon!

[@Adv4x4]

No problem man thanks for watching! Good luck with the swap 👍🏼

[@panagiotisf7228]

The diff housing bolts where only 18ftlbs? Also what type of fluid did you use and it needs to be tuned?

[@CaptainSkidmark74]

Great video.. 5.29 pretty extreme for 33s, no?

[@Adv4x4]

It’s what east coast gear supply recommend for a 3rd Gen that’s heavy. For 2nd gens 4.56 is a better fit for the rest of the gearing. That’s what I run on my 2nd Gen.

[@CaptainSkidmark74]

@@Adv4x4 ha.... i am getting ready to order the 4.56s.... for 33" tires (2nd Gen)

[@Adv4x4]

That will work just fine. Msoverland runs 4.56 on his 3rd Gen even with a alucab canopy camper.

[@ToyotaRobb]

great video, not really any big difference from a 2nd gen right?

[@Adv4x4]

No sir pretty much exactly the same. Besides a few little details such as the rear diff electrical connectors.

[@mcdamn_it]

Did the owner end up tuning the ecu afterwards?

[@Adv4x4]

Yessir he went with OTT

[@C92Moran]

Is a retune required for new gears? Currently on OTT. I’m coming from a jeep and it was required on it.

[@Adv4x4]

I’m actually the OTT Tuner for VA! Yes we recommend a retune when you regear. Since you are already tuned, your update for the gears will not cost you any money.

[@C92Moran]

Would I be able to drive without retune it? Just trying to see if I have wait till my tuner comes to my area.

[@Adv4x4]

Yes your top speed will just be limited!

[@shawnesoutherland]

Is this an sr5 auto or a TRD/ and or manual? Just asking for the gasket part number as I'm scrambling to find one so I can swap in the gears that just arrived

[@Adv4x4]

This one was a trd off-road!

[@shawnesoutherland]

Yeah, realized that once my gasket part # was different than the one in the video. Just one last thing, the snap ring and dust shields on the cvs, did you reuse? According to the fsm torque diagram it shows them as non reusable item. Just curious what you thought/ did

[@Adv4x4]

Yes I reused them!

[@josebravo9865]

How’s much was it?

[@chaselewis7375]

How did it drive with the 5.29s and 33s?

[@Adv4x4]

Great! The rpm’s are a little high on the freeway but he’s going to go to a larger tire to even that out
