weld the spider gears would be the cheapest. I know that used to be done alot around here. Not very practicle in my opinion.

An Aussie Locker will run $239 for any of the Jeep Cherokee axles. That is the best deal I've found. Aussie doesn't make a locker for the 27 spline 8.25. If you have that rear axle, you will need to get a Lock Rite.

It all depends on what your looking for. If your looking for a posi lock then power trax would be your anwser. If it's a budget trail rig and you want it fully locked then weld up the spiders for a spool. If you want a locked DD then go with ausi or lock right for a decent price.
Just a note a posi lock is good for street maners and won't be locked as much as a full locker which will put it at a disadvantage off road. However, it will have better on road maners.

If you know of a supplier that sells the Aussie for the 8.25 29 spline for $239, please post a link. The cheapest I can find online is from Jeeperz Creeperz at $320. Which still is'nt that bad, but hey, I'z is po.

Wow, as hot a molten as you had to get that diff. to get that big gob of weld in there, I bet none of that metal has any hardness left to it.
