scrappy,
I haven't welded my spider, but I meet a guy last weekend running 35s with 10 bolts. His front was welded and after talking to him and hearing no complaints about it I've decided that after I get hubs converted to manual I'm going to weld my front diff.

Don't waste your time.

That bad huh? Since I'm pretty much on a limited budget it seemed like it would best way to get locked. How would it hold up if most of wheeling is in sand and mud with a few rocks threw in for good measure. I'm not really a rock crawler.
