Just welded my rear diff, its working nicely, just got to try it out somewhere, also i dont really like driving on the road with it feels dangerous when i comes to those corners
i would weld the front unless you have lotsa $ for new cvs and are real good at changing them, and it will also make it a bitch to turn when your wheeling. (unless you drive round in 3wd)
save and get an air locker for the front

heres something for you to ponder.......welded front and rear with longs, would cost about 900 and you wont break a cv.
i have been runnin a welded rear in the back of mine lux 4 like 4months now and the axles have jad no probs man put the auto locker up front it will b cheaper in the lonrun and also it will b easier 2 drive wen in 4x4 i plan on gettin an auto lokka 4 the front asap( BJ said i have 2 b double locked 4 wen i come up and stay in march)
im running standart tyres and rims, driving around with a fully locked rear isnt nice when you going to fast around corners, for offroading it increases traction, and saves you $$$$ from buying an airlocker for the rear
I'm welded in rear ARB up front. You would'nt no it was locked in rear untill you trun a real tight corner.i run 35's. no dramers with rear end strenght and its been over 12months.
The rear of my Cruiser is welded and I dont have power steering yet, so I feel it on almost every corner. To cut down on tyre wear I take every corner as wide as I can, and if I have to make a sharp turn into another street I carry heaps of speed into the corner and the body roll takes the weight off the inside wheel. Luckily, I have bikes for transport and only use the Cruiser for off-road.
if i dont really like the welded diff on the road, i could always change it to an open centre. And when i go offroading i could always put the locked one back on
I was thinking of doing the same but i cant afford tyres every couple of months so i think i'll save for a locker , welding the front breaks cv's that don't sound good i'll think i will give that a miss too
At the moment i am very capable of swapping diffs, so if i dont like the locked one i can always put back in the open centre, and before wheeling put the locked one back on 8)
