FYI don't weld with stick it needs to be done with a tig.

4x4's can get away with "lincoln Lockers" but our diffs turn fast enough you want the weight even in the unit.

Also its best to remove the carrier to keep from cooking the bearings and carrier...

?? its the internal part of the differential that contains the spider gears.
It also hold the ring gear.I assume your wanting to do this for drifting or drag racing.

BTW make sure your diff is not a limited slip its worth too much to weld...
