I have found a front auto locker online for a sidekick (vitara)
will it fit in sj80? it is 22 spline.
i would love an auto locker but its out of budget atm and from what i hear too much stuffing arround.

[ellis]

nope no lockers fit's the front of a coily without major mods

[DAZOOK_96]

well that sucks.
just how major are said mods?

[ellis]

like a wt full axle houseing swap over or i think there is a guy on here that sells airlockers custom made to fit the front of coilys

[DAZOOK_96]

hmmm wt axle would be alright, i can see a few hours being spent on that though...
thanks for the help

[ellis]

np and yes it would be a fare amount of work and it would be hard to get the radius arm mounts on correctly

& the steering tie bar...

[DAZOOK_96]

hmmmm i will have to weigh it up and see where to go, i would love the wt's but i think its a bit beyond my skils.

Can always weld the front

Then break CVs all the time.

Easier to sell it and get a leafy wouldnt it?

Probably would be.
But I reckon it is more fun to build a zook,
that everyone around you says can't be done.
Better than being a sheep.

When I got a Vitara instead of my LWB Sierra,
I copped similar attitudes,
lots of people telling me I was all wrong,



but that makes it much more fun.






Assuming success, of course

I don't think anyone is suggesting it can't be done, but the cost and hassles don't make it worth the effort.

He is going to have the same problem if it is auto locked

Yep. So he needs a WT diff to use chromos or get custom ones.

I got the same from a few of my mates about modding a GV and fitting lockers. Some were even suzuki drivers.

Why do we do it.... Coz not many others do. We like to be different.



Well i know im different.

So is the high pinion coily front diff the same bolt pattern as a 1 litre???

seems it would be strange to have suzuki design everything again when the could just use old stock and designs.

I know the coily cvs have a circlip groove in a way different spot but the cv size themselves looks like one litre.

Is there any one that could compare all these bits side by side??

[Rusho]

I have some CV's/axels already out of my coily. If someone has a 1litre axel/CV I'll have a measure

Yer when i tell ppl some of the MINOR differences between coilys and leffys they say just get a leaffy,
but i love standing out and being different.
and besides, it has grown on me in the past 8 months.
even if its tempramental at times.

[DAZOOK_96]

I might just get a rear locker and see how it goes.
If Im unhappy i will think about working on the front.

[DAZOOK_96]

Quick question, how the Hell do u put a pic as your avatar???
i have tried and tried but no luck!!

[RUN.10W]

It's definatly not an easy or cheap job to put a locker in the front of a coily though it can be done with alot of stuffing around and a fair bit of money thrown into it, IMO it's not worth it i would go a wide track diff or a whole new option.

They look identical - I was sold a pair once that were supposed to be coily, but turned out to be 1L. Only difference was length of axles and circlip groove position. CV looked identical. I still have both pairs to compare if anyone wants to drop by my place and have a look.

Hey guys, just on a different note. How much of a mission is it to lift my 98 coilly? With out buying one of those 40mm kits off ebay? Cheers

What are you going to use to lift it then??

[Zackary56]

So there isnt any other kits on offer?

[Zackary56]

I baught my sj80 last friday, since then iv rebuilt my carby, wacked a bullbar on it and just managed to fit a set of 30" muddies under it with minor grinding etc with out scrubbing. Im currently looking for some sort of kit to or a way to lift it/ give it more articulation. Whats your thought? Besides get a leaf sprung zook. Thanks

[Rusho]

The limiting factor for a coily is there are very few options for aftermarket/lengthened struts for the front. FWIW the eBay kits are great. I had one in mine for a few years before converting the front diff to a leafy housing with cromo's and a locker.
