I welded my turdy five. Reason????? They do not make a Spool for a 35. It's only a trail Jeep. I trailer it to the trail. If it brakes I'll replace it with something better. >>>>>>Flame away.
Holly cow! A little dab will do ya on the spider gears. All you need is to weld a couple of teeth together on each side. Then hopfully the welds crack and it stays locked but you can get it apart if you need too. How manny rods did you use? My first jeep had a welded front and a rebult factory posi in the rear. Manual steering! I had a back like a boxer after awhile from muscling the wheel.
It's a none "C" clip axle so IF it brakes I should be able to get out of the mountains where I hunt. Yes I have a winch. It cost me nothing except about six hours of my time a few welding rods and some soc (allen) head bolts welded in for filler. A real Tard would have spent $300 on an factory locker for a turdy five. If you are going to weld a rear end, I think I did it correctly. I removed it from the Jeep and welded in on my work bench. BTW Hump A Stump How many rear ends have you welded????
I dont have a problem with it as long as you have a sign on your Jeep informing other people that its a welded 35.Hopefully your tow vehicle is a 4wd since youll have to get yourself out!
I actually think you did a good job. You know its going to break, you dont have the C-clip 35, and it didnt cost you anything.
Sure it might break, but you know about it, and it sounds like you can handle it. Its a lot better then the people who put ARBs and such in them and then have no idea what to do about a broken shaft. Besides, I think you missed a couple spots.
Yeah Starboard. I'm running 4.5 lift with 31 inch tires. When I go with 33 inch tires I'll put something else with a real detriot locker in it just did'nt want to spend the money on a turdy five.
