Man you must have SOME driveway! We used to weld the sidegear tooth voids (weld 2 leave 2 etc) till we discovered Lockrights.

We used to use Lockwrongs too, till we got airlockers..

yer my driveway is a killer, I've been using my 93 hardtop zook to drag up half a trailer full of cement at time.I've done about 50m and about 100m to go. But I thought my old 800cc stockman ute could use a few mods to give my 1.3 sierra a brake. Now that I've cemented one of the steepiest parts of the driveway. I was thinking a welded diff would help in tackling the driveway and a better set of rubber . My driveway is 35 degrees at parts , so do you think it's worth it ? I was thinking of doing it just as experiment anyway , but if it's going to brake everything else I won't bother ? Would rather have her running than fixing stuff !

I never posted pics on this site because the only internet I have is from my iPhone and I can load pics from it to this site.

93 hardtop 1.3
31' big horns
