welding ur rear end

it's not so much posi as both tires engaged at all times. it will make it so that your back end will slide out easier when cornering because it won't allow the the tires to spin at different speeds. if your goal is the make the back end slide around more, then go for it. but if you want any sort of handling, leave it open.

a welded rear end hurts... but if ur into that sorta thing, I recomend to get someone else to do the welding for you, it is awfoly hard to get the welder in at the right angel by yourself...

Dont do it.. Get a factory LSD.. Soooooo much better
Linkon locking, or welding your diff is popular with offroaders, but.. thats becuase they go off road, and theres not enough traction to the tires to **** **** up.. Thats why people have air lockers, they lock the diff for offroading, but than are able to be disingaged for street driving. unless your car is on a drag strip for 99% of its life, than dont do it.

Take it from someone what has experienced it 1st hand.. dont do this. If the car is strictly a drag-only car, and you cant afford a good locker or spool, then I guess it is doable. If you are driving the car on the street at all, DO NOT DO THIS. Your rear wheels will hop and chirp at every turn, and it will do nothing but make you miserable and make the car more unsafe.

DO NOT weld the diff unless you intend on making a track-only drag car.

Now, just to throw fuel on the fire, if the welding in your dad's Jeep broke, then it was done wrong. Period. Plenty of off roaders and drag racers weld up diffs and have few issues.
If the original poster want's better traction at the strip, they should look into getting an LSD, preferably torsion. Look at the Miata units. If they are serious about dragging, then they should look into the various types of locking diffs (ie. Detroit lockers). But any of these will require fab work to make it fit.

I was making a joke... guess it didn't work... but still funny someone thought I was serious ( I just thought that the origonal post was a lil vague) but then again I am a N00B that knows not of welding ends... =P
