I was wondering if anyone here knows what all was included in the "big tire package" that was offered on the SR5, V6 runners in 1993? So far the differences are the tires :pat: and the gas tank is a little larger (70 litre vs. 65 litre)
It seems that the one I bought a few weeks back came with the standard tires (my speedo is out by approx 10% 'cause it now has 31s) according to the nameplate on the B-pillar.
What I'm primarrily interested in finding out is if there was any drive train differences.

TIA!

 

Not sure if there was a difference with the fuel tanks but the gear ratio is different. I believe that the 31 in. tires came with 4.88's and the smaller tires came with 4.10's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I believe the gear ratio was also different depending on the tranny in the truck. I'm pretty sure that my 95 V6 5-speed has 4.56's in it. But don't quote me!

I don't think many 4Runners came stock with 4.88s. They're pretty hard to find apparently. I'm pretty sure mine came stock with 31"s and it's geared 4.56 on an automatic.

I've got 4.88s

I have the V6, auto, 31" tires.

Since it was supposed to be a work vehicle, we didn't want anything extra, like power anything, chrome, etc. The only thing we really wanted was 4WD, air conditioning, auto tranny, and cruise control. Ironically, we ended up getting almost top of the line because the only way we could get those things was to get the packages. So in short, this 4Runner was everything but the rear air deflector (SR5).

Indeed!

Mine came with 31's and has the 4.88's. The stock 31's do have a slightly larger tank.

Well this looks kinda strange..
I confirmed the fuel tank size in the owner's manual
but get this, according to my name-tag data on the
B-pillar I have 254 gears..!?!!??!?

 

Well...I'm not sure what gears I have but...
I have 31's, and my speedo is correct and...
My door says 225's.:confused:

 

My Speedo be off by switching from 225's to 31's. I like my gearing though. I run about 2800 RPM at 70. Well 70 on the speedo not quite sure how fast it really is.. more like 75 I think.

Go to the link I provided in the earlier post, (G)254 means you have 4:56 gears with 4 pinions (V6). The G means 8" diff.

I have 4:30 gears, and want to go to 4:56, so if anyone has spare 4:56 V-6 ring and pinions laying around, let me know.

I plan on getting 2 Supra LSD diff's within the next couple of months, and doing some mods...the 2nd gen had 7.5" LSD that should work in the front, and 3rd gen Supra's LSD will work in the rear: http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/supra_lsd/ But, I'll have to change the ring and pinion in both. I need to keep it a cheap project, in case it doesn't work, he he.

 

Thanx Rob,
I didn't look at the post close enough when you originally posted it.
My truck came with 225/75-15 as standard equip. but the previous owner put the 31s on it. I'm kind of curious what the diff ratio would be if it came with the 31s as standard.

 

My truck (93 V6 SR5 auto) came with the 31" tire package and 4.88 gears. Don't pay any attention to the tire size on the door tag, mine also says 225/75-15 but I know it came with 31s because I bought it new.

 

Yeah, mine is the same way, I have 4.88 gears and 31s as well but the door tag says 225/75-15 too.

B03A - 7.5 ring gear 4.10 ratio

:mad:

 

What exactly measures 31 inches? From the top of the tire to the bottom? And what do the other ones measure (225/75-15)?

Bryan, the 31" means roughly the diameter of the tire. The 225/75-15 means it fits on a 15" rim, the 225 is the width of the tire, and the 75 is the aspect ratio(sidewall lenght to the width) I believe. There is a formula to figure out the diameter for these tires although I can't remember where I saw it. It comes out to roughly 28.5" if I remember right. Hope this helps.
