Welding the front diff. Opinions.


Recommended Posts

Ok guys, give me the down sides. Only time I will be in 4wd is on trails, how screwed will the turning radius be?

 

Don't want to weld the rear as it is still driven on the street to camping and wheeling spots, and will be occasionally around down as well.

 

Thanks

my front is welded. pretty fun. front feels solid. manual hubs are a must

Do you get tired of hopping out and unlocking them re locking? I imagine 90% of the time the drivers hub just stays unlocked... also, how many cv shafts and manual hubs have you broken?

 

Thanks!

You would obviously need to install lockers so you're not spinning the front diff all the time. Even then, I still think you'd find it a bigger problem than it's worth. I don't think Id want my front locked up all the time, even off road. Mostly because it makes it hell to turn, and I usually find myself in pretty tight spaces when off road. A locker would be nice, but welded seems to be a step too far.
