Less joints does mean things will be stronger in the rear but still by no means bullet proof, the diff and transfer box will still be delicate but like I said you can mitigate that by being gentle with it.

Also don't forget that there are many aftermarket suppliers of much stronger components such as half shafts and transfer boxes that have been developed with an eye to fitting much taller tyres and still having a degree of reliability, just look at some of the machines in the build section of the forum to get some idea of what you can achieve for making it better for your needs.

Would a spool be stronger than welding the diff?

Depends on the quality of the welds against the quality of the materials of the spool but yes on average a spool is stronger, don't forget though that either way will have a detrimental effect on the ability to change direction especially in wet grass or soft mud where it will always try to keep going straight. Good cheep mod but has draw backs that need to be thought through.

Unless you can get an exact match, your issue will come from slightly different tyre circumference front to back. This will be fine in the mud but will wind-up as soon as you hit a hard surface.

That's not the end of the world though, and it will be a long time before you break something. Giving it some through a wet gateway is not the same as driving like a child at a pay and play site, so I suspect the likelihood of anything breaking is very low. I haven't managed to break mine yet with 2 years of un-sympathetic farm and forestry work in similar circumstances.

With the way these teknics wear disproportionate tyrr diameters will be a problem very soon anyway! Lol

How would lockrights work in this situation? Arb lockers look a little steep....
