Being the poor college student that I am i'm thinking of welding the front diff on my 85' solid axle yota. I have a spare 3rd member so if I hate it I can change it back. Just trying to justify spending the $250+ bucks for a lock-rite or ez-locker. I know it's harder on the birfields but with 33"s and 4.55 gearing do you guys think they'll hold on? Should I just scratch this idea and get a locker or is it worth the money saved? I would think a locker would be pretty hard on the birfields as well. I don't know though.
