I am guessing you are trying to put it onto the samurai rear axle?
No, samurais never had factory lockers (at least not in the US).
You could swap the sidegears from your samurai carrier into the trackick carrier (the locker should fit too....but trackick carriers only have a single crosspin, so the set up won't be as strong as the samurai carrier with the 3 crosspins).
Or you can swap the trackick ring and pinion over to the samurai third.  But that requires setting the pinion depth, setting up pinion gears, making sure the pinion bearing preload is correct, etc.  Quite an undertaking, if you are not familiar with setting up gears.

What im trying to do is put my sidekick 3rd member into the samurai front axle.my sidekick has 26 spline axle's and the samurai has i think 22 spline.should i tear apart a good sidekick 3rd member just for the spider gear's or just go buy a 22 spline sidekick 3rd member? i thought my samurai 3rd member had a locker is because all the spider gear's are in closed.

Oh, ok.
Yes, stock samurai front axles are 22 spline (same as 89-95 sidekick fronts).
Your choice on what you want to do....swap sidegears, or swap ring and pinions, or buy a 22 spline trackick third.
The 86-88 samurais had enclosed front carriers.  It doesn't mean it has a locker.
