On landrovers and that for proper off roading, some people use a pneumatic system which jams a cog with a big thick pin with a pneumatic piston, so I imagine just welding up that cog with make it permanently locked.

It probably can just be welded, but they use a pneumatic thing so they can drive it home again, because with a locked diff it makes it 50/50 torque split which makes it harder to drive normally I think.

If it's permanently locked, when it breaks down you'll need to be able to get the prop shaft off or have it taken away on a flat bed too. Not really a major problem, but it would be messy if you forgot...

with out the center diff though it would just bind up whilst driving if locked in to 4x4. I did it to my vitara, by driving it in 4h permantly. The front n rear wheels need to be able to rotate independantly of each other
