Or you can ship it across the country to Mark's Differental Welding Service, best welded diff I've ever seen but shipping is costly.

how much does mark charge for this?

i have a hookup on shipping

That's the best way, there is no chance that they will break free when you weld a piece of plate in there too.

I beg to differ. Highway 89 towards Tahoe about 30mph and BOOM!

i dont want to sound like an  but it is not hard at all to weld. and to pay somebody to take ten minutes and weld up a 3rd is just flat out waste of money IMO. now if the guy/gal with the third doesnt know how to weld, or have any friends that know how, and doesnt have acces to a welder then that is different. but o somebody who does fab work and can build a truck imo better know how to weld. to me it is just an essential part of building a truck. but thats just me

haha that is true, you CAN just brale clean it off n MIG it together, but if its somethin youre gonna be drivin everyday.... the extra time taken to do it properly, is better than the time it takes to clean all the broken metal shavings and chunks out of a diff housing when it does break.... just my $.02

Or, you could just save up your pennies, get yourself a lunch-box locker (aussie, lock-rite etc) for 2-3 hundred bucks, and not have to worry about it.

Just my $0.02
