So do you have an 2001 or an 2002?  I know on the website RRO says the lockright works through 01.  I have no idea what differences there are between 01 and 02 though.

It's the XL-7 rear  that they won't work with and I that that in 03 the GV's started to get the same rear but I could be wrong about that.

i've had arb airlockers in the front and rear of my 03 GV.  In 03 the ring gear changed size so I used the 3rd from a Vit/tracker.  the axle splines are all the same on the GV/vits/trackers on the XL7 they are 27.

So you could grab a Vit\tracker 3rd and put the autolocker into that.  and change your R/P's over to 5.125 front and rear if your a manual, this let you run 33's to get back to stock ratios :)

now the bad news, you'll need to be careful running the rear locker I started to play very hard and snapped 3 axles in 3 trips.  everytime is snapped a had the cars weight on one wheel trying to drive up steep steps.

Are you talking about using the ring gear from the vit/tracker of the 90s (worldwide), or the newer style vit/tracker from 99-02?  So did the gears change between 2002 & 2003, so the 2001 and 2002 might/should work ok?
