Stock 4:88 gears?

[beatdown83fj60]

I dont have IFS I have a 84 with the stock solid axle.

I would need two rears you cant take the IFS front out and put it in the solid front?

A-ha, you will need two rear ends with 4:88 gears then, I should have asked before I opened my mouth lol.

Finding two of them will be a pain in the ass but if it is cheaper then buying new gears until I get a job to afford a good setup I got all the time in the world

Thanks guys for the info

just to make sure it is right I will need two rear thirds from a 1992 and up V6 auto with 31" tires and it will just bolt up to my current 1984 4cyl. axles?

Sounds good!
Can anyone confirm that the trucks had this option and not just the 4Runners?

Of course! Its the combo of the '92-'95 V6, automatic and 31" tires. Truck or 4runner, doesn't make a difference, I've seen it first hand.

Cant really think of a good way of putting finding two separate halves of ONE rare thing to start with but yeah, P.I.T.A sounds about right.

Good luck!

And IMO I would further back up the code with a visual inspection
Something may have been changed or reworked or in my cases moron P.o's could have re-"engineered" it


I would without a doubt count both the Pinion teeth and ring teeth when I pulled them

**Note** the pinion will be hard, I would take a marking paint pin and some way to extend it to reach and mark the pinion

So much crap gets spun online these days. The whole issue with the codes not matching the diffs was found on G292 codes having 3.90 gears when the code reads for 4.10. This was only during the 1980s and never proven to happen in the 1990s or with any other codes. If the code reads G144 I would trust it due to the case difference making there NO way to re-gear it. I would agree that any other diff could possibly have different gears.

Bzzztt. Nice try, but not quite.

2nd gen (90-95) 4Runners with the automatic, V6, AND the larger tire package have 4.88s.

BUT.

There is no locker made for that diff, it's an odd carrier. And only factory OEM ($$$) gear fit it.

[edit: this is not correct info. See post #9 and 12 below. Sorry.]

I have a 95 runner , it has the 4.88's in it . bubt ifi get this right , you are saying that i cannot get a locker for it , how about a lunchbox type locker???

I am running stock 4.88 gears with a Detroit Soft locker in the rear.

Yeah I'm running a lockrite in my oem 4.88's.

The Toyota 4.88 gear carrier is THE SAME as other 4 pinion v6 carriers. There is just somthing about the 4.88 gear CASE that makes it unable to be re-geared. Any carrier replacement locker, detroit or arb will work just fine. Of course the 3rd members will also work without a hitch in the front soild axle housing.

Also the 4.88 gears didn't show up until '92 in v6 auto's with 31" tires. The gear code on the door jam will read G144. I got my set (rear and ifs) for a mear $200. Way nice for a drop in OEM solution for 4.88 gears.

There is your answer!
