Doing it with the 3spd auto will be easier than the 4spd due to the electronic control on the 4spd. I have just swapped in a 3spd but it was with a carby engine so it was pretty easy and I had access ...

sorry to hijack but is there any more info on that fully floater conversion???

I've made a new thread about it here http://forum.difflock.com/viewtopic.php?t=54623

In another thread I was asked about the full floater in a pic I posted so here goes.

We have built a few so far for SJ's using Vitara rear axles. The reason we are using Vitara's is that they are c ...

This is using the arms and panhard on the rear of a SJ410 trayback along with Vit springs and the axle is a cut down Vit rear converted to full floater. The front is still being worked out.

Factory 15" Vit rims have a different offset so you will narrow your track width a touch.

I take it you arent using a Calmini 'Anvil' axle. The steel GV axle i had in 9as Dave is using above) is the same dimensions as astandard Ali one and there is not enough room between hub and axle to ...

The best convesrion is what Dave has done with his Granvile. I couldnt do this as i had Calmini suspension already.

If you have the 26 spline shafts and sidegears available just swap over to them while it is all apart. It can always be done later though.

22 spline shafts are 23.9mm or 0.94" in diameter and 26 spline shafts are 27.4mm or 1.08".

Have a look at this http://www.suzuki-forums.com/1g-1999-2005-vitara-grand-vitara/29722-cv-joint ...

No, the rear is larger. You will need to find another front one.

Yes, the GTi develops a touch more peak power but it needs more revs and has a fair bit less torque. The fuelling is important to get right or it may end in tears as a number of others have found out ...

Any particular reason that you don't want to run the 1.6 sohc 16v head? It flows better than the GTi head.

It replaces the single transfer case lever with two. One lever selects between 2wd and 4wd while the other lever selects low - neutral - high. You need to remove the detent ball from the t-case to all ...

The issue with full hydraulic steering on the road is if the system fails you lose all steering which is seriously uncool for a road vehicle.

I have twinsticks but if I was starting from scratch I would go this way now as it works and you don't need to deal with the boot issue plus sometimes twinsticks can pop out of gear.

You can still buy the Bushwacker flares but they aren't cheap.

I remember seeing an Arctic Truck Jimny some time ago but that wouldn't be cheap either.

I have one in mine but it has been cut down to match the normal width and keep the centre offset. The flange was the same.

33x12.5's with cutting, hammering, around an inch of suspension lift and some bumpstop spacing.

I have never heard of a steel diff with factory fitted 5.125 ratio

The housing will work but you will need to swap your R&P over and use your mounting brackets.

The parts aren't too bad, it's the labour if you have to pay someone to do it that is the killer. The problem is the No.1 tensioner failing. Regular oil changes seem to prevent this and I would look a ...
