Gear Ratio and Tacoma E-Locker - Can I use one from a Tacoma?
I spoke to a person at Toyota and gave him my VIN number so I could find out what my gear ratio is and he was no help. He had mentioned an Axle Code or specs on the inside of my door but I didn't see anything there.
Here are my questions:
• How do i find out what my gear ratio is on my 4Runner?
• Will an E-Locker from a Tacoma (same generation 96-2002) fit on my 4Runner?
• If I am not re-gearing, does it make a difference with the parts that come with the E-Locker?
Thanks,
John

The non E-locked Taco's and Third Gen Runners used a different housing and 8.4" ring/pinion than those equiped w/ the E-Locker. The E-locker is based on the "old" 8" ring/pinion and housing, so you'd have to swap out the whole axle. ARB makes a locker for the Taco housing- it would be cheaper to put it in than buying an entire axle.

All 3rd Gen runners have V-6 8" rear axles, e-locker or not.
Non-TRd Taco's with open diffs get the 8.4" along with some T-100's, the Tundra and the Sequoia.
With housing mods that can be found with the green button, you can put an e-locker from a Taco in your rear end.
You should have a door jamb code that is referencable to charts in the search. Tentatively, V-6 autos with 16" wheels will have 4.30's while the sticks will have 4.10's.
