I contacted kiajaffo@zahav.net.il about a rear trackfinder Locker for my Diff about a week ago. He replied back asking me if my carrier was an LSD or open. I relpied back that mine was open. That I did not need a new carrier. waiting for the price and info to get one here to Alaska.

went wheeling near the dead sea. the sporty is a totally different beast.

this is a small canyon- this is howe it looks going down into the canyon - one wheel in the air- no way i can go up:

this is how it looks going up!!! notice that i dont need to build speed before the obstacle - this is 1'500 rpm and both rear wheels are spinning

I have sent another email to KIA JAFFOenquiring about difflocks, extended forks and hopefully ring and pinions. Hopefully I will recieve some communication this time. I can only surmise that they did not recieve my email last time.

Cheers, Chris

hey chris

i was contacted yesterday by kiajaffo - they will reply soon. as for your email - the 97 has 26 splines and they dont have a diff lock for it - only 28 splines - as fitted to 98-2003 sportages. the front forks will fit - but they are still trying to figure out the cost of shipment.
unfortunately- 5.3 diff ratios are no longer available- i was sorry to hear that too - my sporty is really slow on 235/75

Will the 28 spline axle shafts fit in a 26 spline axle housing? If so you could find some used shafts and get the trackfinder fo work for you.

Just a thought, Dennis

Definately something to look into.

The only concern is the ABS on the rear brakes <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> on later models. Mine does not have it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Does any one know if the axles out of a later model will fit?

cheers, Chris <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
