Don't bother. Get a TRD supercharger.
You'll thank me later.

Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on regearing my '03 Tacoma? Labor and parts?
The combination of 33's and the Four Wheel Camper have turned it into a bit of a dog....
Thanks,
Gary
I just got a quote to put 4.56's in my 2005.Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on regearing my '03 Tacoma? Labor and parts?
I just got a quote to put 4.56's in my 2005.
Front Gears: $220
Rear Gears: $271
B&S Kit: $152
Seal&Shim Kit: $45
Labor Front: $652*
Labor Rear: $507*
Total= $1847
*The labor quoted includes installation of ARB lockers front and rear (but not ARB compressor, switches, etc.). The labor would be slightly less for gears only.
The prices I quoted are from a local, well respected, shop in San Diego. I think you could find a better price elsewhere. I'm also seriously considering shipping my diffs to East Coast Gear Supply. If you remove and ship your diffs, they'll install the gears and ship them back at a significant discount. I've done some research and they seem to have a good rep. Might be worth a call.
How will it effect engine longevity? I've got 85k on the truck....
snip..
Gears will compensate for the 33's, they won't help much, if at all, with 700lbs of FWC. I think you'll find the cost of a SC & install, to be similar to regearing and with much better results.
YMMV....
