just welded my mates one as well and put more layers than that right into the teeth,its more the teeth breaking from weld than the weld breaking or cracking
I voted for 6 months and I bet his tyres will be bould before it breaks

did you preheat the spider gears with an oxy torch before welding??????
if you did .... it will last longer than the axles!!!!

if you weld the side gears to the carrier they never break.

No but the carrier usually does.
Looks fine to me and i voted 2Years+ I cant see that ever breaking. If you are running it in the rear th easiest(Not Safest) way to run it on the street is with one axle removed. Just remove the long side axle and put a short side in there to seal it all up.

Just use an axle that has snapped clean away from the part that connects to the hub, i always had one in my truck ready in case

I can see this thread heading towards an axe so Please keep this on topic about welding a diff centre.
Read this if I am sounding a bit harsh to you
