What you need is to find a used set if you can out of a 2 door automatic Sidekick or Tracker. Most of them wre 4.30 ratio.

No.  Most 2 door auto trackicks have 4.62 gears.
4.30s are found in 2 door trackicks with the auto and the 16V engine.
Read my reply, it says auto.

I know it says auto.  What I was saying "no" about, was your statement of "most of them wre 4.30 ratio".  Most auto 2 door trackicks are NOT 4.30 ratio....most are 4.62.
I guess this is just my assumtion that most people wouldn't choose an 8vlv over a16vlv, and in that I have only messed with 3 speed GM autos by choice. All of the Trackicks with that combo have 4.30s. And I guess I should state that is based on the erea I live in (East coast)

I agree, in that most people would take a 16V over an 8V.  But up until 94 a 16V was not an option with a 3 speed auto in a 2 door trackick.  So you have 89-93 (and most 94, and all 2wd 95s) that you could only get the 8V with the 3 speed auto.  And there were a lot of 2 door trackicks sold in this time period and they were all 4.62 geared if they had the 8V and 3 speed auto....hence my contradiction of your initial statement. 8)
