post the tech BS in hear so you peeps will stop hijacking the Lots-O-Post thread.
 
the lots-o-post thread was so that other threads didn't get hi-jacked :rolleyes: how do you hijack a thread designed as an anti-hijacking device?

By hijacking it with posts about stuff that was originally being hijacked.

Doublers are a waste of time.

Depends on how welded it is. If it's just the spiders, you could pop them out and put in a lunchbox. If it's the whole carrier boogered together, then you'll need a new carrer+locker unless you get a full case locker (ARB, OX, etc).
 
Depending on how it was welded (gears to gears only or gears to gears and carrier?) and how long you want to spend with a die grinder, get a pattern, pull the carrier, put ring gear on new carrier, add bearings and shims to taste.

EDIT: damn, beaten by Colin.

if they welded it correctly/strong, you will need a new carrier or a full case locker. if they are stupid and just welded the spiders in the galleys you can just take the spiders out and stick a lunchbox in there.
 
Are the spiders held in with grade 12 (or grade 5) bolts?
 
radius arms arent the devil

doublers are for rich people with too much time on thier hands who don't often wheel

what colin said. if you can get the shafts out, you could get a new carrier and regear it with either a full case locker, regear it with a stock carrier and put an aussie or no-slip in, or just get a big boy axle... in hindsight i wish i just went to bigger axles right off the bat.

i'm not rich. i'm not commenting on the rest of that though :helpme:
 
i gots no problem DDing a welded for now.. locker prolly wont be til down the road, or unless i can find someone selling an 8.8 or 44 all bulit up :eyes:
 
This thread is not for me. I will post and add zero tech.
 
hmm... wondah if i should just keep the welded rear til i get a new rear axle again, i was looking for something a bit more road friendly though.
