Question...

Since I have to redo my rear (current 4.30 w/lockright) as I think I stripped the teeth (will know soon, replacement diff on way).

I'm thinking of putting a spool in the diff thats on the way. (Strictly off-road)
Well I found a couple on ebay for $70 - DuraSolid - Are these any good?? Has any had any issues??...

DURA SOLID 10 BOLTS ULTRA LIGHT WEIGHT STEEL SPOOL FOR TOYOTA TRUCK WITH 30 SPLINES

BEARING JOURNAL SIZE -- 1.785"

BEARING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER LENGTH -- 4.645"

TOTAL LENGTH -- 6.14"

NO OF HOLES -- 10 (DIA 0.45")

MANUFACTURED OUT OF 4140 ALLOY STEEL AND HEAT TREATED FOR GREAT STRENGTH

Marlin and AllPro are 189 ea...

Sure all animals are not the same... but its a spool not a locker and I've seen welds hold on spiders for years....

Just thoughts u know...

Also - Lockright will eventually go to front axle.
All in all - its a 22r pushing 33" LTB's

TIA

Wheel on!

Have access to a welder?
You could always "Lincoln Lock" it for even less <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

if you're only running 4.30s, a whole junkyard third is about the same as those spools.
sorry, no real useful input otehrwise, I've never messed w/ a spool.

That spool will most likely be fine, as long as you don't throw a ton of horsepower or torque through your driveline.

I have thought about welding the spiders.... especially since I dont drive it often on the street (so there's always a trailer to get her home)

If you find yourself in junkyard and you see a 'bunch' why note HOOK a fellow wheeler up <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />... I eventually found one, in NY... Well none close that they didnt think was gold... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Main concern was not wanting to have to redo again <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />... And if the DuraSolid material was strong enough...

Now on a chance my diff(gears) could still be ok, and its my locker that got junked <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />.... and if thats the case - maybe the spool is my better option for that case....
Man I cant wait for it to WARM up so I can crawl around under her.....
