I already have the disc brake conversion, along with brake booster from a GC. I plan on doing a 29 conversion with due time. I've gotten my xj to 102mph according to the snapchat speedometer(speedo only goes to 85&with the gears I have makes it 4mph faster than my actual speed) . You do you and let me do me. I just asked if anybody has daily driven a welded diff, not to be poked fun of. Thank you for the few that answered my question without being a douche that feels the need to be accountable for my actions and pass judgement on me.

Are you trying to drag race to school???? I mean off road applications sure but our xj's aren't drag racers! Something to think about before you go and weld 'er up!

If I were you I'd look at swapping in an xJ Dana 44 or a 29 spline 8.25 both would be better than welding that up. Why waste your time doing a conversion? Go to the pick and pull and grab a whole new axle.
Yeah, Im probably going to just leave it open for now until I get 29 splines and then just get a nice detroit locker or maybe even a selectable locker. Thanks for the info on a welded diff though, appreciate it.

FWIW, you are talking about breaking the law. You made a bad judgement call and you paid the price for it, you broke your locker, and advertised it.

I'm closing this thread. For the future, do not discuss breaking the law on the open forum. You have been warned.
