Toyota 4Runner
1986–89 IFS
Factory gearing, tires, angles and brakes for the 4Runner, and what the usual upgrades do to it. Every number is from the maker's own figures unless the calculators say otherwise. A few figures here are still waiting on a factory document; the calculators mark them.

Aftermarket bumpers

Every calculator, set up for the 4Runner
Source: top4runners.com. ADD and non-ADD 7.5 in IFS carriers and gear sets interchange; the ADD version adds a carrier needle bearing.
Use at your own risk. These calculators are here to help you plan and to inform your decisions, not to sign off on a build. Many numbers are estimates worked out from factory figures, and some factory figures are not yet confirmed. Check every number against your own truck, its manuals and a qualified shop before you buy parts, cut, weld, lift, regear or drive on it. Long Range Desert Tools is not liable for anything you do based on these calculators or their results. The full terms are in our policies.
