Get the code in the door, come home and check it.
Or do the lifted tire method:
Lift one rear tire
Mark tire
Mark d-shaft
spin tire 20 times
count D-shaft rotations
take that number, divide by 10, and you have your gear ratio.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I believe the factory Toyota 4.88 3rds cannot be regeared. There are no after market gear sets available that will fit.
If you never plan on doing anything with the new 4.88 3rds except throw them out should they become worn or damaged... this fact may be of little concern.

Not saying that you are wrong, but I'm not following that. I'm good up until the divide by 10 part. Can you clarify? Thanks.

I have a V6 Runner with AT and NO 31" tire option. Mine is 4.10:1.... decode toyota tags and take the info to the yard and check the door jam and or the tire method....

Here you go $400 front and rear open diffs with 4.88's. Can't say he will deliver though.
