mud-magnet 11-09-2001, 03:41 PM Hi, i am going to weld my rear diff no matter what anyone says about buying a locker, lockers are a bit too expencive for me on a high school budget..... so what do i weld? pics would be great, but a good detailed description would do......also i'm not exactly sure what the spider gears are of any other names of the gears except the ring and pinion......:^) so a location of where the gear is would be great too. thanks RockRanger 11-09-2001, 04:23 PM Do a search in the general section and the toyota section for welded diff or lincoln locker or something along those lines. Some one posted a bunch of pics awhile ago about how to do it Matt J-Dogg 11-09-2001, 05:53 PM Its pretty self explanatory when you open it up. You want to weld the spider gears (small, 4 of them) to the side gears( what your axles slide into) and to the case as well for added strength. I recommend having a welding shop do it unless you're real good. I broke a spider gear after a week of driving on mine. If you're going to do it yourself you should pre-heat and let it air cool. Good luck. Tonka_sam 11-09-2001, 05:53 PM The spider gears are the little gears in the middle. Ring gear is the big circle. pinion is the gear on the shaftwich turns the ring gear. Now take the 3rd member down to some one who knows how to weld it will cost you like $15 and it will be welded right... Good luck CHUCK:eek: J-Dogg 11-09-2001, 05:57 PM Check it out we answered at the same time..... wierd mud-magnet 11-09-2001, 07:34 PM lol.......it is wierd........thanks guys so i put weld on everything that touches? my nabour is a realy good welded he does it for a living and has welded everything for me that i needed and nothing broke yet....... here is my diff open up.... bobaki 11-09-2001, 09:29 PM that was a quick study,looks good.....:D mudlite 11-10-2001, 05:47 AM I have yet to see one hold up. But if you insist, if it moves weld it. Jamb ball bearings in any space big enough...................fill it. In 6 months when it gives away, and you have Fawked your gears, buy a locker. Better yet, save up now for one. :flipoff2: :D :D :D mud-magnet 11-10-2001, 07:18 AM that soulds like a good idea john but i can't buy one down here and if i order one it would cost a lot.....way too high for me. fatkid 11-10-2001, 11:47 AM Pull the third and take a look at it, then Weld the fawk out of it...:) It shouldn't "give way" in 6 monthes if you weld it right.:rolleyes: mud-magnet 11-10-2001, 02:06 PM i'm getting it welded as soon as the guy up my road gets home...... probility tuesday.....i'll get lots of pic and post it on this tread for everyone else that is thinking about doing it. again, thanks guys.....:smokin: bobaki 11-10-2001, 02:18 PM do what fatty says after all he is a ROCK GOD and he knows:D mud-magnet 11-10-2001, 03:00 PM ok, i'lll give it go......:^) fatkid 11-10-2001, 04:06 PM Originally posted by bobaki do what fatty says after all he is a ROCK GOD and he knows:D There ya go.:D bobaki 11-11-2001, 10:21 AM gullible also:eek: :D fatkid 11-11-2001, 11:36 AM there ya go:flipoff2: | |
