Just go to one of the sites on the home page! Rocky road and low range sell the rear and Trail Tough list one for the front! If you are running the stock aluminum housing it the front of your trackick i would prob suggest doing the steel housing upgrade first. The stock front housing and thirds on these are the weak spot on these things!

Hey! I'm doin' this too! Going with a steel 99 Vit front diff tho. I did it to the "Treeslammer" a couple years ago and it works great. All you use from the Vitara diff is the housing and 3rd member, It uses  a sammy carrier, 3 pin I think, 26 spline spiders, a "lockrite" locker, your old ring and pinion. and 26 spline driver's side axles and cv's. Darn if I can remember tho. The axles weren't the Vitara's, I DO remember that . I called Brent at Trail Tough and he set me up. If I recall correctly, tho, the Vitara axles have to be swapped out. Too short or too long, offset because of the air diaphram in the Vit auto hub diff.  Darn CRS acting up again, help us out guys ! ???

well from what i have looked at so far I'm thinking mini spool in the rear lockrite up front. other mods will be 2" coil spacers, snorkel, exo-cage, stacks, and turn the back seat area into a truck bed style cargo area by closing in the cab.

Hey
My 91 Tracker JLX (Canadian model) has the steel diff housing up front, i got lucky i figure.
Lockrite in the rear for me, where is the cheapest place to order a lockrite? I would have to get it shipped since i'm in Canada.

Hmmmmmmm, use a magnet and check that, I am sure it is probably aluminum. if it is steel then someone has put it in after the fact. none of the trackers(no matter where they were produced)have steel front housings or carriers.


To muddy cowboy.........
support our vendors! Trail Tough is awesome to work with.
You will need to start reading up on the steel housings and carriers though, eventualy you will break one! there is also mods that have been done using toyota front CV's that you might want to start reading up on depending on how hard your gonna wheel it and what size tires your gonna run. Good luck and welcome to the madness >:D
