to weld or not to weld?

[ScottieJ]

Is yours a samurai? if so what condition is the rear diff in? any play in the pinion? if it's good I have a welded rear I would swap for an open diff.

[sj j]

i have only known people to do it in the rear? but maybe im wrong

but please dont do this....

Scary thing is I know people that would do that!

Thats certainly what you could call a welded diff

And for stupid people like me, here's a reminder of how a diff works.

Don't worry after a couple of weeks I will have forgotten again , or is this just me

I have to refresh every once in a while.

Know everything I need to know about what they do and whats going on but every time I try visualise an exploded diagram in my head I cant make it work. Pull up a image on my phone and its instantly clear as day again.
