Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Interesting, My car does not seem to fit in any class.

Although it may fit in the stock class.. However, I have slighty larger tyres..

29" instead of the stock 26" crap.

If you do not like what ARB etc offers in the way of lists. Calimini do a 2.5" lift for the GV. There are only 2 distributers in Australia. 1. 4X4 USA (Perth) www.calmini.com 2. Kaos 4WD (Camberra). kaos4X4.com.au However, I have heard the Calmini setup is very soft.. But that is only what I have ...

matt g , I got quoted earlier this year $170 for BFG mud terrains, which I think is damn cheap... Give Widetread a call in melbourne Laterz I think $170.00 is a very good price.. I was think about the BFG or Coopers.. The BFG were about $30.00 cheaper. 2 Years ago I think I payed $220.00 (Fitted ...

G'day $310.00 sounds a bit steep. I have pruchased my tyres from the Tyre Factory BFG M/T 225/75/R16 for $220.00 per corner about 1.5 years ago. I do not think they have increased in price that much.. I am sure the 31" would be a more common size, so you would think would be slightly cheaper. I have ...

This thing reminds me of a RAV 4... Extremely soft

From what I have been reading in the US, this does not even have a Full ladder chassis.

So as I understand this, The Airlocker will bolt straight in to the rear diff without any additional parts (may require bearings though )

Am I correct ??

Spoke to ARB in Richmond. To my supprise, they can fit an airlocker to my rear diff on the GV. However, he did say that some models may require a vitara 3rd member (what ever that is). Is there an easy way to tell if I need additional parts etc ?? ANyway, sounds promising... He also mentioned they ...

Yeah... Looked at the Calmini LSD diffs...
However, they specifically said they do not fitt the V6's..

Bummer.

Aprt from changing the diffs, does anyone no if there is a locker etc out there that will bolty straight into a V6 GV ???

Thanks for the information.

I had an idea you needed to change the diff centres etc.



It sounds complicated if you have to rely on mechanics to do the job as I do.

As I have a V6, the Calmini LSD will not fit..
Anyway, I will kleep looking.

Are you able to provide more information on what is required.


From experience ARB have told me that the Vitara DIFFS & Grand VITARA Diffs are different. Ithink the GV diffs are slightly larger in the rear.

That is very interesting.

I have spoken to ARB in the past and they knew nothing about the Vitara air locker bolting into the GV.

Have you got the 4 Cylinder or the V6.. I have a feeling the diffs are differnent in the older models?

G'day. Just wondering if anyone has installed Rear Diff locks in a GV without changing the diff centres etc. A number of people have mentioned Detroit Auto Lockers or Lockrights can be fitted. However, when I call the suppliers, they sa No there is nothing made for the GV. Are they correct ??? I ...
