4:56 versus 4:88's
I am looking for some gearing advice.
I have a guy who is selling complete front and rear third members with 4:56 gears, For around $300
Should I go for the 4:56 or save my cahs and invest in a set of 4:88's?
My rig
87 4runner 22re on 31's 5 Speed
I don’t plan on changing the tires size and it will mosty be city and highway use. I'm looking for Fuel economy and highway driving while going up hill.
Will 4:56 give me a good bang for the buck? Someone told me it will keep the RPMs down and increas my highway speeds in 4th and 5th

Yes as long as its 8 inch diff from a 1st to 3rd generation or e locker from a tacoma but that requires modification of the axle housing.

Thanks 89 silver PU
My altitude is between 800-2800. San Jose Bay Area CA. so 4:56 should work
Thanks for the advice.
What year Tacoma 3rd members with Elockers could I put in my 1st gen? And what is the modification?

To my knowledge up until '04. I don't know about the 5th gen rear e-locker third.
I'm putting in a '97 e-locker third in the rear of my '89.
Here's a coupld links to whats involved:

However, 1st through 3rd gens are plug and play

And I'm pretty sure the e-lockers only came in 4.10, 4.30, and 4.56 gearing. I don't think they came from the factory with 4.88's but I could be wrong.

i have a 94 t100 3.0L 5speed with a gear ratio of 4.70 and at 65mph it screams at 3k... i was gonna go 4.56's but the motor has no balls and i bearly have torque with the 4.70s so i was thinking 4.88s but then id lose my highway speeds so i decided to stick to my 4.70s

Well I bought some 4.56 3rd members on Saturday. I guess I will find out on my own about the improvement. I live in a pretty flat valley but have to climb some steep straight highways to get out of the area. CA 152, 156, 680, 580, all of them are 65MPH.

I will let you know, don’t be afraid to ask me in about a week or two incase I forget. Right now I am trying to decide If I should put in a rear locker when I do the 3rd member exchange.
Major decision time…again. And that’s a big arse topic to cover. I think I will wait and save up for an E locker. The aussie thing sounds good but for some reason I want to be able to disengage at will.

Don't be afraid to rev these engines. I used to go up a couple kilometer long hill at 5000rpm daily (22RE). Nothing bad ever happened, even made it to class on time once in a while.

One more question. I think I know the answer but I want to double check.
I currently have 4 cylinder DIFs . I can swap out the 4 cylinder directly with a V6 DIF right? Complete 3rd member without modifying anything.
