I have been looking into welded diffs, i have seen people just weld the gears together and also put a small piece of plate in there to, i was wondering what was the strongest way to weld it?

as you have said. Also with a mig. or tig if you can get it in there.

I did mine with a mig. Shitload of weld

If you must weld a diff (which I wouldn't recommend) then do it this way...

I have done it that way.

Its ok at 1st, then starts ratcheting and wears out the pin holes eventually waiting for a pin to dropout and/or smash gears = no good.

Maybe ok for the front. But not rear.

My rear is/was solid now. (my rear diff is totally fooked now from locked on 33's + snapped axle)

All this = Lockrite or if you count labour, then = an Air Locker

tom, go to the d4x4 ramp day and i will give you a drive of mine so you
can see how good gearing is. until you fix your gearing your diffs are going to be consumables.
