Mine drives better now than it did with a lock-right. 
I welded the spider gears teeth only. I can still go back to open if I want to and it's quick and easy, so far so good. I've also ran with spiders welded to the side gears. That works to but not as flexible (you can re-use the carrier for going back to open or a locker).
My Welded Rear Via Woodys final version has worked good for about a year..
Bias Plys will wear alot quicker, and make little noise (atleast my tsl sx did)
Radials will Chirp on concrete, (atleast my MTR's and my Stock tires did)
if i had the $200 id do a lunchbox locker...

The axle in my 40 if the original 65. I have a replacement rear axle from a 69.
I decided to weld the 65 axle as a stop gap until I put the 69 axle in with an Ausy locker or an ARB.
So far, for about a year now, I have had no problem with the welded rear. It handles nice on the road with the known binding/tire chirping qualities you get from a welded rear end.
I’m running 35” tires at this time, and plan on using this axel until it breaks.
