Toyota Master Tech Installs 5.29 ReGear! 3rd Gen Tacoma - ECGS 3rd Members! Game CHANGER!!!

In this video a former Toyota Master Tech installs 5.29 gears into my pretty much “stock” Tacoma! Did I make a mistake by going with the 5.29’s instead of 4.88’s??? Watch the install of these East Coast Gear Supply 3rd members and let’s see how the 5.29’s handle with the Overland Torque Tune!

Amen! Finally you did it. I see a supercharger in your future. Great combination.

[@westcoasttaco]

🙏🏼🤣

[@Doc1855]

Keep us posted on your fuel efficiency before and after the re-gear

[@westcoasttaco]

Will do! Stay Tuned!!

[@tpharo34]

I did the Yukon 5.29 couple months ago and also have OTT. I am heavier than you are but the gears are the difference in how the truck runs and works.

[@kahai808]

Ran 5.29 on 33 for about two years. No issues and even drove from San Diego to North Carolina and back. they felt great, but now they feel even better on 35s. I feel they march up better and kept me in a better RPM range on 5.29/35s.

[@olegm3079]

What fuel mileage did you get on 33" and 35" on highway 60mph

[@kahai808]

@@olegm3079 I never cruise at 60 mph lol. But for my normal driving I was getting 2-3 mpg better on 33s than 35s. Just because it felt better on 35s doesn’t mean gas was better

[@olegm3079]

@kahai808 can you give me a number, speed, and fuel economy on 35 please?

[@kahai808]

@@olegm3079 honestly this is subjected. Factor like gear you have on the truck, weight of truck, weight of wheels, style of driving, etc will drive your fuel economy. Damn roof rack made me lose 2 mpg. For my current truck set up which is pretty bare these days I’m around 12-13 on normal driving. I can get 14-15 if I chill out and drive decent.

[@Doc1855]

I love the content of your channel. I may have to do 529s on my 23 TRD after moving to MT because my truck will be having a snow plow installed so I can plow our driveway/road.

[@tim3308]

Wow, the big move! And we get great content! 🤛

[@James-yv8nm]

Nice! Looking forward to your opinion after driving it a bit. You gave me something else to think about. You sir are an enabler.. 😂

[@westcoasttaco]

🤣🤣🤣 yeah it’s addicting..

[@Mumfy64]

Been on 5.29s for over a year now and with the OTT its a match made in heaven!!

[@westcoasttaco]

Mumfy! Good to hear from you man🤙🏼! Congrats on your new podcast👍🏼👍🏼

[@user-hp4sc6jc1o]

Good choice on the 5.29.

[@tbirdsdign]

Great content @WCT. I wonder what you were 0 to 60 before and after regearing.

[@thelifeofjp1996]

You built basically my ideal Tacoma build, only thing id do different is id have Diode Dynamics SS3 pro amber LED fog lights. u did the same size lift, tires and gears and tune id wana do , even the bed size. i want a tacoma soo bad but i think the back seats are too small for my family. i have large car seats but im gonna test drive 1 to be sure but id it is too small , im getting a 2nd gen tundra sr5 with the crewmax and 5.7

[@efil4kizum]

Game Changer!!

[@philsarusal4640]

Quick question. How is this going to affect the mpg?

[@nickorozco5933]

Can Jason do my Taco?

[@aaronDjVu]

After the ott tune I was pretty happy with the performance of my Tacoma. Haven’t really considered doing gears since my truck is basically stock. I’m curious how your gas mileage is now with the 5.29?

[@westcoasttaco]

I’ll keep you posted! 👍🏼

[@tpharo34]

Gas mileage isn’t going to be evident unless you get highway miles in 5/6 gears. Could slight be worse in around town just due to being more torq end of the power band but not much loss at all.

[@BLACKBOX2TURK]

What gear oil you used and what's your new MPG?

[@westcoasttaco]

Lucas Oil 85-140

[@edfig]

I wonder if the RPM increases or decreases. You were going 65mph at around 2100 RPM.

[@westcoasttaco]

Stay tuned! So far seems like a 200 rpm jump?

[@georgemartinez7320]

Whats a rough estimate you paid to get re gearing

[@westcoasttaco]

Between the gears and labor close to 3k

[@m.687]

​@@westcoasttaco Nice. Less than I assumed it would be.

[@garytheguru]

Are you going to put on bigger tires?if not why regear?

[@westcoasttaco]

We will see, but no plans for bigger tires at the moment. I have read and heard that the regear is a huge upgrade regardless of the tire size.. people were right. Regardless of weight and tire size the Tacoma is perfect with a gear and tune upgrade 👍🏼

[@nickorozco5933]

How much did the gears and installation cost?

[@westcoasttaco]

After it was All said and done close to $3k.

[@noodlesoup9]

Yikes

[@user-zs1fr7im6l]

HOW MUCH ?

[@westcoasttaco]

Close to 3k after all said and done. I’ll be revealing the invoice on the next video.

[@kcd845]

How much is OTT paying you to advertise?

[@westcoasttaco]

Nothing… It’s honestly just the best thing I have done to my Tacoma.. so I try and mention it frequently to help people who are seeing one of my videos for the first time.🤙🏼

[@windowsbythebay]

He doesn’t get paid, he willingly goes down on them by choice

[@henrymiecz8566]

Good job making a Tacoma less reliable and less efficient. Add a supercharger next to make this a junkbox.

[@James-yv8nm]

Just oozing with positivity… lol. As long as you do your homework and know the pros/cons of any mod then who cares? It’s your money. Spend it how you see fit and enjoy.

[@westcoasttaco]

You are probably the first person I have heard say this?🤙🏼

[@qbanlink25]

Hating much lately?
