ok.. so I was searching around looking for gearing info cause I thought I might want to regear soon.. I decided to check and see what my stock gearing was. my axle code is G144 which I guess = 4.88 gearing.

Now I have 2 questions:

The tag that listed all my axle info has something about 225/75/15 tires on it, and I thought 4.88 stock only came with the stock 31" tire package?

Is the stock 4.88 replaceable?

thanks

 

yep!
auto + tow

 

after searching around for the G144 number, I've found others with the inconsistant tire size and gear number, but I guess the gear number is the only thing that really matters... my guess is that i've got 4.88's so I guess I'll leave it alone until I have $ for 5.29's and lockers.

 

Yeah, my wife's 'Runner had the 31" tire package...so it had 4.88 gears. I noticed the tire-size mix-up on that label too.

I read somewhere that the R&P were a different size when they came stock from Toyota as 4.88. I could be imagining it...but it might make things tricky when you re-gear.

since I bought the truck already modified I have no way to tell what it was like stock. I'm just guessing the door sticker is right.. (I hope)
