Hey guys,
So now that my cruisers all well and nice, further projects are sparking...
When cruising on the motorway it feels pretty nice doing 80mph but I feel like it could always use a taller 4th gear to drop the revs. At 80mph I believe it's at about 2700RPM. If I could drop it to 2200-2400 I'd be pretty happy and feel the motor is strong enough to pull at this rpm happily.
I've read a few people changing over taller gears on manual boxes in 80 series and a couple surf boxes, but nothing on the Autobox.
Wiki tells me the box is used in these vehicles...
Land Cruiser:
1986-1990 2LTE J70-J73
1990-2002 1HZ J70-J79
1990-1997 1HZ J80
1998-2002 1HZ J100/J105
Hilux/Pickup:
1986/1987 22-RTE N90-N120
1997-2005 1KZTE N140-N170
2006-2015 1KD-FTV N15-N26
4Runner/Surf/Prado:
1990-1993 2LTE N130 4runner/Surf
1994-1995 1KZTE N130 4runner/Surf
1996-2002 1KZTE N180 Surf/J190 Prado
2002-2005 1KZTE N210 Surf/J120 Prado
2006-2009 1KDFTV N210 Surf/J120 Prado
2009-2015 1KDFTV J150 Prado
Ratios:
I don't want to run larger tyres or change my diff ratio as this changes acceleration at lower speeds.
Anyway, does anyone know if this is possible, are there any other boxes than run a taller gear that are interchangeable? I know a lot of Toyota 4x4 R series boxes are very similar.
