ok, well im putting a lot of money into a new motor right now and would also like to buy a new set of tires, would a welded work for now until a locker or spool was bought? or should i just leave it open until buying a spool or locker? |

its what ever you feel like will work the best, but if you leave it open its alot easier to put the spool in when you get it.......
