Ok here is the article. It came out of the Jan. 2001 issue of Petersen's 4Wheel&Off-Road I hope this helps you out. I would do it myself but I still use it as a daily driver. http://www.ifsja.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

sorry,dont have the energy to type all that again http://www.ifsja.org/ubb/smile.gif

i do not plan on welding the diff in my rear offset 44. its just too much stress on the axles. i havent had any trouble with it yet,but the only street miles it sees are to the woods.

however,i do happen to have a wrecked 44 carrier that would be perfect to weld. with the existance of warns new "fusible" hubs i think im going to put a welded carrier in the front and see how long the fuse rings and/or u joints and alxes last.
