Hello everyone, how are we all keeping?

Update.

Welded up the rear diff about 2 weeks ago.


Hmmm welded





Then i took it in a wood, to test it out. It worked well! Until i got stuck, then it just acted as a digger!










Started to get it out with a disco and a winch, at 8PM, it eventually came out at 11:30PM! (night offroading is interesting!)




The day after that i was due to enter in a fun winch challenge (even though i dont have a winch) but it decided to play up all day.
Over heating issues where the biggest pita, along with a failed starter motor!

I ended up getting 1 out of the 30 punches available then decided to call it a day, and watched how its meant to be done (with winches)

Locking up the rear makes a world of difference

How do you like those hankooks? I've got them on both my zuks and love them, but has not seen many others with them.

And winches are cheap, you won't regret getting one

Whats it like to drive on road, turning etc with the diff welded?

Want to do mine but do alot of greenlaning etc so dont want to ruin the on road driving anymore then it is..

i would imagine a welded up diff is quite dangerous on the open road? especially in wet weather.

ive been driving my welded diff around for a while now on the road and offroad and got used to it, its just tight corners you have to take slow really as you drag the wheel round

Would like to do it but dont want to increase tyre wear on the special tracks, I do to much road driving for a welded diff i think, Would kill tyres etc..

Would be a big difference off road though..

Cheers

Have you broken any halfshafts ???
a few years ago i put a welded diff in a mk2 escort Great fun but the amount of halfshafts i broke
was unreal....

i carnt lie yes i broke my first one the other day at holymoor but i had it on the road since beging of the year and this was the first one but it was one hell of a drop with that wheel lol popped another shaft in and away i went again
