welding front axel

[adam greene]

how hard is it to steer with the front welded, would it be better to weld rear

 

[whitneyj]

weld the rear, I can't at all on dry pavement with my hubs locked in (I'm spooled), offroad it's pretty bad too

 

[Carolina Hard Core]

if you weld it, just lock only one hub untill you want max trax and then lock both. your steering would be good with that

 

[whitneyj]

unless you're turning into the side the hub is locked. . .

He doesn't have any hubs. I say weld the rear, but it's a d35...so there's that.

 

[adam greene]

well what i planed on doing is, welding the front and getting a cable disconnect so i lock and unlock it would that work. im trying to find a 8.25 so i can weld it.

Is your front a vacuum disconnect? If not, I don't think the cable disconnect will work. Personally, I'd weld the D35 and find you an 8.25 and do it right. (Locker, disc brakes, maybe even a truss if you want, though I don't think it's really needed. Looks cool though.)
Lock the front via a lunchbox locker. Wouldn't mess with welding it.

You will hate it and regret doing it. Do the rear.

That will work, and I agree if you weld the rear have a 8.25 in waiting cause the D35 won't last long. I think Woodys saving grave is tire size, If he were running larger tires that thing would have busted.

And he does have Vac Disconnect, its and older XJ

I do believe he welded the sleeve to the shafts.

Adam, you need to come by and groove those tires. Instant 200% increase in traction.

 

[adam greene]

i got another front disconnect axel, and got a posilock cable so im just gonna weld it and lock and unlock the cable. that way ill have 1 pulling or when its engaged ill have 2. im gonns weld the 35 too but im gonna have a 8.25 b4. i want to see just how long a 35 will last.

[GotWood]

lawnmower throttle cable. busted open the vac disco and drilled a hole in the diaphragm and there you go

 

[adam greene]

hell yea that will work to

I think mine is a super 35 kit, plus I had superior axles in the ft. but I do think the 33's is why it stands the abuse

[cardudenc]

I thought it did pretty good considering yours tires are balder than me. lol
are you going to stay with 33's or go up to 35's on the heep?

 

[adam greene]

idn i guess what ever i can find cheap. i think me and braxton are gonna try and groove them a little

 

[cardudenc]
