About a year ago I did a 3" lift on my FJ62, and put 33" BFG's on her. I was told at the time that I should redo the gearing, but have not done so yet. With 225k, my tranny has been really faithful, but has been slipping lately. So when I do the tranny rebuild, I want to redo the gearing. With an AUTO Trans, what kind of gearing should I consider. She's my DD and I don't do anything crazy offroad, so with new gears I really just want to get the most for everyday stuff. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I have 33s with stock gears in my 62 and it does great. The 62 had I believe 4:10 gears while the 60 had 3:73, so I think you'd be fine. I still have power, can climb hills, even get good highway speed. Just my opinion , I could be way off.........cheers
62's have 411 gearing. If your tranny is starting to give up the ghost
it is going to be scary expensive to rebuild.
I'd leave the gearing alone and do a manual 5 speed conversion.

How much would it cost to convert to a manual?
X2 on that!
Cruiserparts has the parts for that as a package.
You may be able to find the stuff, minus the 5 speed, from the Parting Out section.
The 5 speed is around $1850
Everyone who has converted to the manual on their 62 loves it!
