Could look for someone with a 3.73 set that regeared. Not sure if it will fit the 5 lug axles though.

what are the current gears we have now?

The OP has a XR which utilizes a 5-Lug setup but does not have the same rear end that a 5 lug base model Tacoma uses.

I just sold my 3:58s 2 weeks ago. I still have 3:73s for sale if ya want them. They will include the housing if ya like. And yes they were in my XR.

The 3.73 is too much for me.
Where did you get the 3.58s?
How was your performance with them?
Did you have mechanical problems, grinding or other issues (other thsn the speedo being off)?
...How come you got rid of both the 3.73 and the 3.58 and gone back to stock...?

I used the 3:73s to become the fastest N/A XR. The 3:73s helped bigtime with acceleration. They are in my garage at the moment.

If you acomplished that, how come you went back to stock?
It sounds to me like there is a downside, i just can't figure out what it is...there's you and one other guy that i know of that actually had the 3.73s put on and both of you said the truck runs like crazy, yet both of you went back to stock. Why?

bram · 10-05-2009, 11:51 AM

Great question

higherlux · 10-05-2009, 12:04 PM

I went Super charged. The low end torque was missing with my wide open exhaust. The 3:73 gears give the low end torque back to ya in a way. When u open up your exhaust u lose the low end grunt (torque) the gears give this low end grunt back to ya. Also if I can remember correctly the 3:73s ran the RPMs about 4-500 higher on the highway. In the city it did not matter I just upshifted. Hope this helps ya.

Oh god, this again? You may have had the most mods, and the gears, but you never had any proof of your claims. One day you'll settle your ego, and come to the realization that you were never officially the "fastest n/a xr".

You helped me before with info on this thing and now i'm ready to make a move....however this Balboa guy has not yet answered any of my questions, other than trying to sell me his 3.73 set.

So, i'm interested in the 3.58 ring and pinion set, not the 3.73. I've done some research and can't seem to find aftermarket 3.58s for the XR anywhere...i was hoping Motive Gear or Richmond would have them but no. Do you know of anybody that makes them, or is my only chance getting a set of OEM 01-04 3.58s for some damn $500 or so...?

You will not find them there. These 3:58s are very hard to come by. I found 2 sets 10 months ago. After calling and calling and calling. 972-406-9363 Call this guy. He is my gear guy and he can get them. His name is Russ. Hope u know what you are getting into. Gear swap done correctly will cost ya more than $1000
