In my suzuki they are inside the wheels, you could place a flat stick from one edge of the rim to the other without touching the locking hub. Apart from that you've got the rubber. However, my rims are 16x7JJ, and the rubber is 235mm wide. I'm not sure about the tracker, but it isn't that wide is it?

No, the base models on the trackers are 15x5.5 but I have a ZR2 which has 15x6 alloys.  My tires are also only 215 mm wide but I plan to upgrade to 235s this year.

If you upgrade to 235 I don't think the hub will stick out...

Thanks a lot man!  No surprises but the little tips will help a lot when I do mine. 8)  I've been thinking about taking Espanol classes at college but I guess I really should now if I need to keep up in the world of Zuki. ;D

Just wanted to add if you put Suzuki hubs on your GV/XL7/Vitara etc make sure you get the conical washers Suzuki used.  Realized that I need those today after I discovered the GV "fixed hubs" don't have anything but bolts with no washers. >:(



Anyone have a set of those bolts and washers? ???

Yeah, I got a set coming to me now.  I never did understand what those things are for and why Aisin uses them.  Warn and Dana have been getting by fine without them for 60+ years.

They're on. 8)

The Sidekick/Tracker hubs work great.  A literal bolt on swap...as long as you have all the correct parts when you start. :P

I didn't take any pictures as sergi's basically show everything and mine would just be wasted duplication.

Showed the fiance how to use them and what they do and then took her on a short bit of 2 tracking (green laneing for some of you from Pomgolia) to celebrate. ;D  She got right out and locked her side in without any trouble.

I have a set of Aisin Samurai hubs left. Can they also be used on a GV?

Yep.

Any Suzuki hub that's 26 spline and has the 6 mounting bolts (which I think is all of them) will literally bolt right on.

People told me all kinds of things about why they wouldn't fit but they slipped right on like they were supposed to be there.

Make sure you have the mounting bolts and washers from the donor vehicle.  The ones on your Vitara/GV/XL7 won't work.
