5.29 gears

[plfj40]

i'm looking into changing r&p gears for lower ratio and my friend has a new set of assembled 3rd members with 5.29 Yukon gears. My question is are any of u run this ratio on your minis and are they reliable, strong? thanks for help.

As strong as any other gear. Yukon wouldn't necessarily be my first brand choice but they aren't bad.

if your buddy's offering them at a decent price, I say why not? Doesn't mean you'll have to install them the exact moment you buy, you can take your time to get anything else you may want together (IE tires, or a locker) and drop 'em in when you're ready, or you can turn around and sell 'em to someone else if they don't pan out.

Hey Tom, What size tires are you planning on running? If you are going 35 or larger you will be good. Otherwise, you will lose some top speed on the highway unless you wind out the 4 angry squirrels.

Anything above 33, run the 5.29's and call it good. You'll like them.

Strenght is (mostly) in the quality of the install.

I ran 5.29's in a few of my old mini's (with 35's) and never had any problems.
I did buy an 87 pick up a few years ago with a busted ring & pinion (5.29's). Replaced them and drove it for a year, only wheeled it a few times, with no problems. I have no idea how they broke. I bought it from a little used car lot who got it in a group buy like that. I figure either they were not installed correctly or the PO didn't know how to drive.

hey John, i will be running my 39" baja claws of my fj40 , also i will have doubler with 4.7 gears, it will be installed on my buggy project so i will be beating the sh;t out of it, oh and the diff has a locker installed in it already, everything for $350, is that a good price?

gears are only as good the quality of the setup.

Thats a killer price. I have run them with 37" tires and 40" tires. I like the ratio and have had no problems with them.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

you buy them for 350 and I'll give you 450 tomorrow! Yeah that's a killer deal...
