you have to weld all 4 spiders with good welds, not getting slag on anything. and weld on both sides of the carrier. so 8 welds total. and i have known people for years who run welded diffs both on and off road with no issues for hundereds of thousands of miles. You just have to get good penetration on your welds.

I had a spool in my tj, and my current xj is welded. Only difference (if its welded right) is the price!

Use nickle rods and you will be golden. You won't find a spool for the 8.25 because it has c-clips.
