Now I am confused. I guess the only way to tell is crack it open.

That model had 3 options....
VZN185L-GKPGKA 3.909
VZN185L-GKPGKA 4.100 With P265/70R16
VZN185L-GKPGKA 4.300 Option
So unless you have P265/70R16 tires or a locker, then you probably have 3.91 gears.

Model VZN185L-GKPGKA is not to 01-02 specific. My first post I said that I think all 3rd gen lockers are 4.30, but I mean that all the 4.30's were E-locked. Im not to sure on this and all these codes are tricky.
I think that they jammed the 3.90 on those that had the 15" (gearing purposes). I think that all the 01-02's are 3.90 or 4.10's right (depending on either 15" or 16" wheels)? No E-locoker option and Im pretty sure that they were locked.
We need some 01+ guys to chime in here and see what their axle codes are. Anyhow, co4Runner I am trying to say that I think you have a 3.909

OK i just went out and looked at my code again. IT is A04A. I cant remember what site i was on but it said 3.56 and i was dissapointed, or i may have had to many and just read the wrong line. Any ways according to this information i think im going to go with 265/75 now

I found a few threads going back a ways that do indicate 4.10s do come with lockers optional (good read):

I think 4.30 gears only came with a locker, but a locker was an option with 4.10s.

For my '97, SR5, 4x4, V6, 5speed (per Steve's website)
Model: VZN185L-GKMGKA: 4.100 With P265/70R16
Axle code: A03A
Yep, 4.10 gears with an E-locker were an option.
I remember FOUR WHEELER magazines 4x4 of the year shootout in '97, had a 4Runner equppied mechanically the same as mine.
That article was in large part responsible for me buying my 4Runner, equipped the way it is.
I still like the vehicle enough, that in 8 1/2 years, I haven't found another vehicle I'd rather have.
