vitara diff head into sammy diff

[Rotazuk]

Hi
Just want to find out if a vitara diff head will bolt up to a sammy diff housing . I have a steel diff head from a vitara with a locker in it and want to put it in my samurai diff without changing out the ring and pinion etc as its 5.29 . The side gears are ok at 26 spline , just wondered if the bolts were the same and the axle location is the same .

Thanks

Chris

From front or rear of the Vit? Vit's have never had a 5.29 ratio either that I've ever heard of.

I know the rear is bigger and will not fit . Typo , mean 5.13 or what ever thay are , was thinking toyota as I typed question .
Can't find anything in the search , one post said there was a good post listing all the options etc but can't find it .

Cheers

Chris

Front should fit, BUT it will be probly be 2 pinion and I think most sierra ones are 4 pinion, so I wouls stick with the sierra one as it would probly be stronger.

from what i've been told, vit centers dont bolt up to zook ones but the gears are interchangeable. not sure on lockers either as the splines might be different? don't know

if you get two frount difs out of a vit you change the r/p but the frout will bolt striaght up on the early vit and they do come with 5.29 or there abouts later modles came with 4.8 i think not sure on that one

The beauty of the internet is the myths that get perpetuated by people who just blindly repeat what they have heard somewhere without actually knowing the facts

have a look here http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/phpBB2/vi ... diff+ratio and when you have the info on the unobtanium 5.29's please feel free to add their tooth count for future identification by others.

5.29:1 vitara diff gears? Fantasy 4X4 in Mythville had containers full of them! Along with a warehouse full of full floating WT rear diffs with factory lockers. (They have recently sold out of flatfender jeeps in crates at $77.... but are expecting more any day!)

Geez CJ.... he said 5.29 or there abouts.... 5.12..... 5.29... who's counting??

Ahh the internet. Just because you can type doesn't mean you should.....

I heard you could buy 6X6 vitaras with portal axles on the internet

Where can you buy these and can you convert sierra's to 6x6 using there parts? I also heard you can get special edition suzuki sierra's from the US with 6.5L turbo diesel's will this blot straight into my zook or will i have to change the engine mounts.

no i heard it was 7ltr diesel conversions with track drive on the rear

yes you will have to change your engine mounts, and fix your transfer case.

i heard that the vitaras were IFS portals and only came on the new GV, so you'll need new wheels as well.
