have you looked at an aussie? I know lots of happy toyota owners who are running aussie lockers.
FYI if you weld you spider gears together you will not be able to get them out.
Why not? Remove the cross pin and pull it out or if not cut it out and the carrier is still fine. If it is welded right it would be stronger then a lunch box with no pins to break. If you weld and fill in the spider gears into a glob wont it be like a spool?
I actually hate wheeling with a spool in the rear. Granted its a short wheelbase TJ with short arms. Even off road it makes the suspension do things I don't like. It loads the suspension up all the time when turning and in my opinion at least when it comes to a short wheelbase with short arms it isn't safe.
I also DD my TJ which is why on Monday I am having the limited slip put back in and hopefully by Friday my Spartan will be here so I can run it on Saturday. When I have the money to do it right I will do selectable lockers front and rear.
I will never wheel a spool again in the rear.
