Does any one know of a Air Locker/Manual Locker for the Grand Vitara.
It is a 2001 4 cylinder model.

Yep, you can use Vitara ARB airlockers.  The rear is easy, the front needs some parts from a vitara.

Yep, put front and rear lockers into my 03 GV 2 months ago :)  Where in Queensland are you?  If in Brisbane you can come over and have a look.

I thought that Suzuki changed the rear in 03 to be the same as the XL-7's.  I guess not .  You wouldn't  happen to know what size the R&P is in the rear 7.5" or 8.5???

I'll check again when i get home, but i'm sure it is the 8.5.  I changed the R/P over to the vitara 5.125 when i put the diff lockers in.

You put the Vitara's 7.5 R&P in place of the 8.5??? or the 5.12's you put in where 8.5.  If so what arb # do you use?

I used a vitara 5.125 7.5' R/P on a RD79 in a vitara diff carrier :)  Just pulled my diff carrier out and put in the new one all setup.

Its been in for over 2 months with no problems doing some hard work :)

I guess Suzuki don't change the rears then.  The size of the Xl-7's is much bigger than the GV's  you couldn't just switch them.  They wouldn't bolt up :-/  oh well had my hopes up.  Guess I'm going to have to look in to getting a complet GV rear to put in my XL.

With that, you'll be changing out the rubber yoke on the rear ds for a u-joint yoke. Cool. Plan to eliminate the center carrier bearing?
