Excellent. Will be getting a Baleno import motor for my 93 LWB Vitara. Newer motor, less kilometres and a damn site cheaper than a Vitara donk. (mine dropped a big end bearing at a very inconvenient time) Can anybody tell me if same is true for the coil pack types. Not sure what the motor will be ...

Planning 33's but only on 31's at the moment

if you do the hagan mod with out doing the left cv change right away, do you have enough shaft length on stock cvs for the locking hubs to work? Hub locks will still work, as axle at that end is held in position by the locking clip. I believe there would be enough movement of the inner cv to still ...

I have fitted a GV steel front diff/axle housing. I did the LHS to RHS axle conversion. Mine uses a GV axle support bush, not a bearing, and is half a left inner axle welded to a half right stubby axle. (By a professional drive train welder) I chose this route because of money, and more room to fit ...

YAY TEAM We are now locked up front. No issues with using a Sierra auto locker into a Vitara. As long as You have the 2 pin type, which every one seems to have. And use Sierra 4 pin type side gears. 2 pin type MAY foul on locker Same fitting technique, except you start at other end. It took a while ...

Locker fitted perfectly into Vitara carrier. Was unlocking on floor with lots of effort. Hopefully driving will unlock it more easily. Diffs back under car. Can't test yet, need to fix up a cv boot and stuff, and fit the drive shaft tomorrow. Will hate wondering all night if locker will work right ...

yes you are right.
I almost expect grief, so it no surprise when it happens

I do learn a lot on the way, though

:? :? PS EPIC FAIL :bad-words: This was to be fitted into a Vitara. One Vitara drive shaft is fatter than the other, did not allow for that. :? Got diff and locker all together ...but alas Vit shaft no fit into sierra carrier. :x Made drive shaft fit with grinder, to test locker, but of course it ...

So the pins don't work loose with the 5:12 gears.
At least I hope it works.

SPARTAN LOCKER INTO SIERRA CARRIER FIRSTLY. I am not a mechanic or a qualified diff fitter. This is just how I did it. Not necessarily the correct way. As instructions supplied were not relevant to a 4 pin Sierra carrier. They were to suit a 2 pin, with open access. Just another note, instructions ...

They fit fine, the "quirk" is that the id of the ring gear is larger so you need to retain the centre pins from falling out. This can be done by peening the case over the end of the pins, buying a commercial fitting kit that includes a sleeve to hold them in, or any number of . If you don't do this ...

i think sierra rear lockright is interchangeable with the vitara front diff but not 100% sure inbits It is possible, just need to use the Sierra carrier and side gears, 22 0r 26 spline depending on which vit front you have. I have decided to use the trail tough lock rite, for vitara, from low rang ...

Lots of zookers alter the diff ratios from stock, so always best to count teeth and do the maths, if buying 2nd hand

Look what the Stork brought for me today
Via Maryborough Wreckers Qld and a TNT truck.
Thought I'd better check it was steel, paranioa plus

Powertrax Lock Rite locker.
I'm told by many that the locker for Sierra front and Vitara front are interchangeable, yet the part numbers are different. Can anyone shed light on this for me?
Thanks

Sometimes Ya win. The old holes to locate top shackle point, from a mistake I made when originally fitting the shackle springs, have turned out to be the perfect position for the new longer shackle, Angle is more pleasing, rides a bit softer, too. Though that could be cos I am running the bolts a ...

Thannx, it goes faster now it's red

I just realised I am not happy with the shackle angle, so tomorrow I reposition the upper mount, a tad.

Now it sits more levelish, sleeping is much nicer without angular disturbances.
Looks better, too, which appeals to my egotistical side

It may be wise to ask in the Auto Electrics section, too.
As you know, mine is a 93 LWB efi.
Hope these pix of some use.

I stole Frogs rear lights,
better reverse lights,
better reflectors for the globes.
Other cheapies on trailer previously had no reflectors and just black plastic behind the globes..
LED's will come, but too many dollars still at the moment.

All done, best match I could do. Time, dirt, mud, crud, sun, road grit should dull it down a bit :) Princess likes to pose while we are test driving :) http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/christover1/trailer%20stuff/IMG_0112Small.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/christover1/trailer ...

Much tooooo red, so 2nd coat will add some brown in with the red,
hopefully closer match to Xoe color.

How about Cherry Caboose, I new a girl like that once.....or was it twice ;) Excuse my welding, it is bolted thru with 4 ht bolts as well...thank good ness http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/christover1/trailer%20stuff/th_IMG_0100Small.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/christover1 ...

Have started modifying the camper trailer to suit the new Vitara. Nothing earth shattering, just had to adjust the hitch to keep it level. It was leaning to far down at front. Now its leaning back a bit while empty, but should be level when loaded. If not will add a tad to shackle lengths. If I do ...
