According to the factory manual (which I'm looking at right now) - it's 400 Nm/296 lb-ft for the spindle nut for the 2wd (which I said before). For the 4wd, it's called something different - axle-to-wheel hub nut and it's 27 Nm/20 lb-ft. Not sure where you got 13???

Oh, and I mis-spoke. For the '01 mentioned in the first post, if it's a 2wd, it's supposed to be done in three stages, with the final torque being 13-17 in*lbs

Are you talking about a 2005 or a 2001? I can't vouch for the 2005, but a 2001 2wd has conventional cone and cup bearings, and yes, they are supposed to be torqued in 3 stages to 30 ft*lbs, then backed off two turns, then to 17-24 ft*lbs, then loosen the nut, then tighten to 13-17 in*lbs, followed by the installation of the retainer, cotter pin, and hub grease cap.
It's section 206-03 of the '00 and '01 manuals, steps 6-11.
Also, I believe they changed the spindle setup on the 2wd for '04. I haven't looked at one, so I can't say for sure. I'll have some reading to do on them in teh AM when I get to work.
