grins.. that brings back memories... hehe I did have welded (i did it myself) diff in my other Liberty once but most of the time I was on the road and I hated around the corners or car parks and I cracked the sh*ts then pulled it out and put back in open diff, (rear tyres wore out way earlier than front ones but dunno about the CVs - they seemed to be okay-ish? - still on the car when i wrote it off) later found VLSD diff but it was worn out (still works but doesn't fully lock) and never bothered to change it over again, I didnt have the chance to remove the LSD and I wasn't gonna bother with it anyway...

Now I want to find CLSD or VLSD for my wagon and it was worth it with fully locked LSD (man it was awesome on wet grass & mud pan so on..) - you cannot explain how good it was on wet...... you tell me ;)

yeah welded diff is awesome in the subie's since you can just pop the rear shaft off and drive like normal and still drive with 3 driven or at least 2 wheels if need be with out the shaft in just keep the left rear on the ground ;)
