3rd Gen 4Runner 4.56 Gear w/Locker | Toyota Tacoma 1995-04 Tundra 2000-06 8 Inch Rear 4.56 Ratio Gear Package Revolution Gear

The 3rd Gen 4Runner 4.56 Gear w/Locker package by Revolution Gear and Axle is designed for those pushing their trucks beyond stock limits. Whether you’re upgrading to oversized tires or towing more weight, this gear set delivers the performance, torque, and drivability needed for your 1995–2004 Tacoma with a factory locker.

This complete package includes front and rear 4.56 ring and pinion gear sets, plus master install kits with Timken or Koyo bearings. Because these gears are precision-cut from high-strength steel and heat-treated to OEM standards, they hold up under intense stress. As a result, you’ll benefit from smoother power delivery, stronger off-road capability, and reduced strain on your drivetrain.

Additionally, the optimized 4.56 ratio restores power lost when upgrading to larger tires. It enhances throttle response at low speeds and reduces engine load while towing. Despite the added performance, it maintains quiet operation due to Revolution Gear’s advanced machining process. Every kit offers an exact fit for 3rd Gen Tacoma models equipped with locking rear differentials, making installation simple and precise.
