    My xj and disco 2 both have 4.56 gears and I like 35s, had 33s on the xj and after I upped them the engine rpms dropped a little at highway speed and engine noise decreased. Hope that helps. I still can not believe that Toyota still uses drum brakes on Tacomas.

    Ok taking stab at it after looking at pics. Use strong magnet that you can put cloth under it so that it does not scratch the paint. Put one on top and one on the hood.
