Yep, $389 including gears. I could not believe it myself.

The 5.29's are being installed in "new" diffs I picked up since I can't have any down time. I should have these in within the next couple of weeks.

Your acceleration would improve, but your top speed and MPG (in this case) would suffer.

I have the same problem - I cannot have any down time.
Where did you pick up the 3rd members for you 4Runner?

Thanks

I'm seriously considering 5.29's when I go to 33's. My acceleration on the highway with 4.56 and 31's was nothing to brag about - and now with 32's I find that I decelerate on grades. I may lose some top speed but I think being able to drive a steady 60-65 with no deceleration would be nice. Anyone know how off the speedometer would be with 33's and 5.29? also with 32's? I think I may install the 5.29's and a locker before I go up the next tire size so that will be some extreme gearing!
