Title: Stock diff. Ratios?
Post by: phantomplanet89 on September 01, 2012, 06:19:29 PM

Its been a while since ive been on this site. in a few months i am planning to get another tracker i love these things! My first car was a 90 Tracker 4x4 5 speed, it had low gears in it and my dad had a 95 same thing but with higher gears? what are the stocks and how can you tell what it has?

This is good info......
I have a sj410 project I was doing for a local guy here, he wanted to do the vw diesel conversion. Well he ran out of time and funds so it is has been sitting for about a year and a half.
Meanwhile I've acquired a 95 2door tracker (my dream rig) and I'm forming a plan. I'm wondering if the ring and pinion gears will interchange ?and what the gear ratios would most likely be in a stock sj410?

I believe the sj410s have 3.90 gears.
Also, sj410 axles are smaller (and the thirds and ring/pinions are smaller), so therefore the trackick front gears/thirds will not fit in sj410 axles.

SJ-410 has 4.10 gears in the diffs and a 10% reduction in high and low range on the transfer case compared to a stock Samurai.  Skyhiranger is dead on that the axles and thirds are smaller but you can order lockers on E-Bay for a decent price out of the UK.
