To give you an idea of how big of a difference it really makes, this Runner with the 33" tall tires on it sits just about 2,000 RPM at 60 MPH. My Tacoma has the same transmission and 4.10's with 35" tires, at 60 MPH you're around 1600 RPM.

Cool, so I take it the power band is somewhere within 1500-3k? Is your Taco 4 cyl?
