Does it have lock out hubs?

Don't do it esp on a 10b. Auto hubs are not auto there basically drive flanges.

And let me add; I welded my CJ D30, some time back.60/40-sorry I did. I could not understand the "U can't steer it" advice! It's great, as long as the tires can slip, & spin. BUT, when U hit hard ground ground, U have to unlock 1 hub, to steer it, & it's still hard to turn, with the hub unlocked! DON'T DO IT. Any kinda of locker, will be better!

it will steer like shit when on tight trails. The solution is to have manual hubs and leave one of them unlocked until needed. Welding a 10 bolt is another discussion. What size tires are you running?

Dana 60 and a locker is a better option.
