Can this be done, and if so, is it just the gears that swap over or...?
Cheers
Crown/pinion from vitara into samurai?
The front of a Vitara will fit into a Samuri front and rear,
all you change is the crown and pinion,
the are a few to different ratios but the most commom for conversions
off road is the 5.12 or 4.6
this will lower both ratio high and low, the other option is a lower transfer
box gear set, but they are $450 US.
but will not lower top gear by more than 12% but 84% in low range.
if money not an option go for the transfer box gears.

in top gear it will be around 3,500rpm in top doing 100kph,
but wilth the small engine will die away on the hills and need 4th a bit more. thats with the 5.12 ratio
Mint, sounds about what I want - can't even use 5th at the mo'!
Now to find another front vit diff......

most Vitara have a ali housing the breaks under load.
most up grade these to steel, which are rare.
i have only broken one housing ,but blown bits through the casing on 3 or 4 others which we tig back up, if the locker went straight in it would of been nice to try. i woundnt even waste my money on a steel diff , it would only be a shitty ifs still, i could soild front it for less.my housing. vaughan
and with the solid front i could get this at the front too
you can get 23 and 26 spline carriers in the frount diffs of
a Vitara which are also only a two pin carrier
where a pre 88.5 SJs have a four pin carrier
you need to put a spacer on the pinions
and if you use the sj ect carrier you need to
make a retainer to hold the pins from
caming out as the ring is slightly diffrent
RRO dose a kit for $5 US

Carrier Pin Retaining Cans
Precision CNC machined parts make this kit the best on the market. This retainer sleeve and bearing adjuster are needed for installing Suzuki Sidekick OEM gears into a Samurai carrier. You will also need the retainer sleeve when installing aftermarket 5.38 Gears. The reason for this is the cross pin in the carrier is held in by the ring gear. With the thinner Sidekick gears and aftermarket 5.38 gears, this is no longer the case. No welding or machining is required for the installation of this kit.
Price: $35.00
