So I discovered this afternoon that I broke a side gear in the diff.... I have a couple options...replace the diff with a locking unit...get hardened spider/side gears OR weld it up...or a mini/full spool


I don't really want to lock it because it will be more prone to snappin a axle....a new limited slip would be nice but they are pricey... so I may just weld it up for now...not sure yet...
