How hard is it to put p/steer and a/c into a sierra?

How hard is it to put a J20A in , does it require a stronger transfer case. donor would be a 1.3L sierra


Also someone on the facebook page said there was a LWB soft top as the discussion was about a hard canopy for a LWB. Whats the differences between them


also is a WT better? can you get hard canopies for them as well ?


Had no luck finding a nice 2L vitara lately so im resorting back to the tin box sierra

How hard is it to put a J20A in , does it require a stronger transfer case. donor would be a 1.3L sierra Quite hard. You'l need to chop the trans tunnel out, make new engine mounts and all sorts of things like that. The Sierra transfer should live depending on your driving style. Why do you want a J20a? A G16b is a much easier and much more well trodden path.


Also someone on the facebook page said there was a LWB soft top as the discussion was about a hard canopy for a LWB. Whats the differences between them Basiically, the wheelbase. There's no real differences between LWB and SWB aside from the length.


also is a WT better? can you get hard canopies for them as well ? Depends what you want to do with it. Buy a NT if you want to do heaps of hardcore offroading so you can utilize the narrower spring spacing and fit WT diffs. Otherwise, buy a WT. Do not buy a coily if you want to mod stuff. Yes you can get canopies for them, they're a little rare these days though.

A G16b is a much easier and much more well trodden path. I was hoping there were a few build threads and kits made up on the J20A; obviously there isnt? I drove a 1.6 and 2L vitara and the 2L felt better to me; in torque and top end

Now all I need to do is smash heads and get everything

Just to clarify. You can't use Jimny A/C in a sierra. Some Sierras have A/C so you use that.

A G16b goes very well in a Sierra. A J20a powered Sierra would fly. Sierras weigh a few hundred kilos less than Vits.

and if you search there is a whole thread in good tech about a J20a into a sierra. its been done and i loved it.
