With the ability to run 33's there almost wouldn't be a need to SAS!

Lock up the front and away you go!

Nah, no allowed to call dead horse on the GV!!!! Will go to the wreckers & buy the shit if I have to, just send me a list of what you need because I for one WANT a set for my GV...... going to the mines this friday. Would appear money wont be so much of a problem...

About $840. I'm doing a run of only 4 pairs for now. PM me if you would like to get your foot in the door.

Yes that would be possible I'm sure, though I don't know why you'd need one, as long as you've got a steel carrier they're pretty strong, unlike the alloy one.

this is actually a very good idea, a complete rear 3rd is gunna cost the same or less than the steel housing alone, not to mention the cost of getting a R+P professionally installed: $400+ or the time and skills it takes to do it yourself

The rear R&P gears are also alot larger than the fronts and anyone considering this kit is certainly going to be running tyres capable of blowing a vitara front diff.

would also be handy as a spare when you blow your rear diff 500ks from home

designing this kit around a vitara rear is an obvious choice really..

I run a 4.6 Vit front ring and pinion in the front of my LJ with 33's and sometimes 35's, I haven't had a problem with it in 9 years.

Pezz, I know I could bust it, just ask Joe, he gets me to test stuff for a reason, in saying that I've run 35 silverstone extremes on 1lt cv's in the vic high country and not busted them, it's about how you drive, not just what you drive. And no I don't pussy foot around with it.
