OK here is my Question:
I am currently running a lockrite in my rear D35, non c-clip. I have been reading about many in the club running (welded) spooled rears. I have an extra D35 carrier, pinion, gears, etc. My XJ is not a daily driver anymore, and I would like to try a spooled rear D35. In the event of axle break in Moab, I have a replacement set of axles. My son ran a spool in his 89 Toyota 4x4 pickup, five speed and did very well. It was a dail driver. My XJ is an automatic running at the moment 3.55's. I have a set of replacement 3.55 gears as well. Can someone give me some advice on spooling my rear D35. I am a welder, have been one for over 15 years. I work in the mining industry and work on more critical welding than what this will involve, so I am not worried about the quality of welding, but I have never done one. Can anyone give me instructions and or photos on the procedure? Also, is it possible to use the lockrite that I had in the D35, in the front D30?? I am not worried about breakage in Moab, for no more work than it is to replace the axles or the carrier etc., I would like to run spooled in the D35 to see how it does. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated..........
Thanks,
