Yes on the rear. Front, only if you can find a 2WD or a 3:90 gear..
(Tacomas IFS's are High Pinion 7.5". High Pinion = Reverse Rotation)
IMO, FARRRR more cheaper to install a rubber overdrive...
4:10 = 28
4:00 = 29
3:90 = 30
etc... Some, not all 4Runners came with 4:10's, I have a 94 that's AT and 4:57 gears. 4:30's are not uncommon. And factory 31's were 4:88
Not exact, but close enough...
Also doesn't help tires are not exact to what they claim.

ha ha! I fell in that same trap! And did it again!
4Runner to 4Runner rears are the same... Fronts, no.
4Runner to Taco (ex, E locker), is not...
