Default Back into wheeling!

I unfortunately sold my old jeep, Which I hated... I lost about 400 bucks on it to. But I just picked up a 1995 Cherokee with 123k. Runs strong, shifts good, and 2W/4W-H/4W-L work perfect, after I was getting mad because it wouldn't come out of 4W. So I went underneath and cleaned all of the mud by the linkage and oiled it and it works perfectly fine now. I already changed the U-Joints, Pain in the butt. Oil-Change, put in a new air filther, Transfer case fluid, and the diffs. The only thing still wrong with it now is that it over heats Im going to take off the fan and clean the back side of the radiator because its covered in mud, then im going to burp the radiator. If that does not work im prob just going to weld the fan clutch. The guy before me chopped the hell out of the fenders and fit 33's under it with NO lift. So If I can fix the over heating problem im going to lift it and get some 33's. But the most inconvenient thing about the jeep is, That the drivers side rear door you can only open from the inside. Plus the passengers side rear door just does not open at all. Im working on the one I got the panel off and im trying to figure it out. But other than that its a beast, it runs amazing. I was beating on it with the stock tires, guy did not sell me the 33's.

Can you guys tell me what diffs I have? Im pretty sure I have the dana 30 in the front and the dana 35 in the back.

Ill gets pics later its not uploading them

you have a dana 35 rear, you can see the rounded bottom of it. don't worry about people saying its a crappy axle, yeah its not the strongest axle in the world, but it will take a bit to break it

Would it be ok if I welded my rear diff and ran 33's?
