hey burrelsjeep, that lock right, if u have a ugraded shafts would it have broke?or were they upgraded? im not sure i understand welding the rear!

If you get the upgraded shafts, They won't work with a Lock Rite, Goes from 27 spline to 29 spline. Unless you just talking about getting some Yukon shafts, But not sure it would help any.

In my opinion I would not put any money into a D35, its a waste, If you have one wheel it as it is, Weld it if you like (Cost nothing but time).

Are you asking what it means to weld the rear? If so its when you weld the spider gears to be a solid unit. Spider gears allow the wheels to turn at different speeds when turning, Which also allows the one with the least amount of traction to slip, Welding it makes it one solid unit and both wheels turn no matter what. Just don't weld your shafts to the side gears. Which is tricky since the D35 is a C Clip Axle.

well my issue is i have already spent the money on regearing my d35(i know, i know) Hindsite is 20/20 right. So sould i get someone to weld it or just run what i have till i can axle swap?
 
I wouldn't spend anymore money. Hindsight I'd have welded my D35 instead of locking it. Weld her up and be done with it.

Depends on how long you want to depend on the D35 lasting, If you lock it the chances of having it fail are greatly increased. Now depending on your style of driving theres no telling how long it will last. Wheeled mine opened on 35s with 4.10s for 7 years no issues and was fairly hard on it (Finally busted the spider gears on the ledge on Daniel). Wheeled it locked for 30 mins. Thats just my experience with it.
 
Yeah im not going to waste the money on lockers for my D35. ill wait till i get a diff rearend. now the question is welding it, does that mess up the ring and pinion? and can i lock just the front? i thought that i had to do both at the same time is that true?

Welding the spider gears won't change anything with regards to R&P setup. You can just lock the front, or combine it with welding the rear, it doesnt matter. You might be getting confused with changing the ratio (re-gearing) that must be done front/rear at the same time, or else something will most likely break the first few feet in 4wd.
 
ok, that makes more sence. anyone know how to weld the rear that live close to say greensboro, winston, thomasville, lexington etc. that may be able to help me out?

Shoot a pm to 'JThomas' on this board. He just welded RenegadeT's D35 before the 1st ECORS race. He lives on the north side of Greensboro in Summerfield.
 
you guys are saying a lot about the d35 being week to weld. how does my tacoma 8" diff. compare in strength?

I know nothing about Yota Axles,

But,

I saw this

Toyota used a solid rear axle with an 8-inch ring gear and 1-5/16-inch 30-spline axleshafts exclusively through '95, and even later in some Tacomas, T100s, and 4Runners. Early axles were 55 inches wide to match the front solid axle and increased by 3 inches when the switch to IFS was made in 1986. With the added width in '86, the axletubes grew larger and the brake drums were also enlarged from 10 inches to 11.6 inches. All pickups and '89-and-earlier 4Runners used leaf springs, while later 4Runners used a four-link and coil-spring suspension, making these axles more difficult to retrofit into other vehicles.

Compared to a

Dana 35

Axle Specs

There are two versions of the dana 35:
Dana 35 non c-clip used 84-89
Dana 35 c-clip used 90-01
Note: Some model 35's are known as Dana 35C's. The C does not stand for c-clip, it stands for custom. This means that it was shipped to Chrysler incomplete from Dana and then Chrysler finishes the build.
Axle housing diameter = 2.625"
Stock shafts = 27 splines
brake drums:
1989 and older = 10" Drum
1990 to Present = 9" Drum
Axle width, WMS to WMS = 60.75" (WMS = Wheel Mounting Surfuce)
Cover bolts = 10
[edit]
Gear/Carrier specs

Ring gear diameter = 7.562"
Ring gear bolts = (8) 3/8" x 24 RH
Pinion gear diameter = 1/376"
Pinion spline count = 26
Gearing options: 3.07, 3.31, Carrier break 3.55, 3.73, 4.10, 4.56, 4.88
Note: Carrier break means the carrier needs to be changed as well when gearing up or down past this point.


I would say that just looking at this and what i know about the 35 that the toyota axle is far better.
 
Toyota is BY FAR stronger than a dana 35. As long as you are sure you want it welded, no reason not to, it is a much stronger diff.
 
weld that bitch
 
Awesome!! thanks guys for the info!!! Im gonna weld it before uwharrie opens in april. I dont have a welder and i have not taken the 3rd member out yet. so i will be askin 4 some help when i comes closer to time.
 
You don't have to...I wouldn't pull it to weld it. I'd pull the cover...clean it good...and weld it in section. Make sure not to get it too hot. Weld a little...cool it down take a break and then repeat.
 
Weld it...

A tocoma axle don't have a cover.......

I think the tocoma diff is a 4 pinion with a 2 piece Carrier, a little more to it than just stabbing the welder in there a going at it like splitting the carrier, ect....
 
I looked up the code in my door jam. i have a 2 pinion open diff with 3.91 gears. No cover. If any of you guys are around rock hill area, and have a welder please pm me.
