Do you mean the entire diffs? Then no.

The rear is completely different. The front 3rd member is similar, you can use the front R&P in a Sierra with some fiddling, they are a different ratio though.

Not really. As has been said, the front ring and pinion gears. Nothing else of note will fit without modification or adaption.

Nope, they are the wrong offset and will make your track width narrower.

if your sierra is still a 1.3 carby motor, the 1.6 carby motor in the vit will be ok to use... maybe...

Except that it's eight years older, so unless it's been reconditioned (well) it's probably in much poorer condition than the 1.3 that's currently in the sierra.

If the donor car has power steering, you can pull that off and fit it to the sierra with a BenT adapter kit sold on here in the vendors area.

I've wrecked out quite a few vitaras. You'd be surprised how little can be swapped.

Oh, I just saw you have an SJ80, or coil sierra - 1996 was the changeover year, so it could have gone either way.

The rims have the same offset as an SJ80, so you can use the vitara rims on your car without a problem.

However, the front diff is completely different between an SJ80 and any other sierra, and a Vitara, so you can't use the front ring and pinion from a vitara in an SJ80. You could put the vitara front R&P in the rear of your SJ80, but you can't get a matching ratio for the front so it's pointless.

Good point.

I thought I read the locking nuts on the vitara are superior.
