Welded spiders in Dana 30

[Vanover]

Ive heard some where that you can weld the spiders up in the front of a YJ with the vac. disconnect if you use a posi lock cable or an old vacuum switch from an old CJ with an auto and what ever that quad system is called, any ideas?

I ran this setup for a long time, using a manual vacuum switch from a fullsize Cherokee with Quadratrac in order to operate the front axle disconnect. I currently run a front dana44 disconnect axle with a mini spool and cable disconnect. I run a spool in the rear also, where I used to be welded front and rear.

It's not for everyone, but for me it works great.

Im guessing the benefit of welded or spool with the vac disconnect is on the road or trail you dont have the ill effects. If youre in a tight spot on the trail, you can unlock the front end to help with the turning radius. Its alot cheaper too, Thanks BH
