I've read that the lockers from axial fits the WK, or there is always jb weld

I was thinking of some kind of epoxy or somthing, just can't figure out exactly how to do it.

Why don't you use that 5 minute epoxy that comes in a tube with the two together and you squirt it out and mix it together.

I got some epoxy, just need to figure out how to use it to lock the diff.

Epoxy will work but sometimes it's on the runny side and thats going to get messy. The thing to watch for is once you put the epoxy in the diff you need to stick the axle shafts back into the diff just to make sure the epoxy doesn't close up the hole. Pull the diff out of the axle, take the ring gear off of the diff housing. Remove and clean grease from the gears. Put the gears back into the diff, fill with epoxy....now as soon as it's full replace the ring gear and all four screws and put the axles shafts into the diff housing and let it cure.

I rather use jbweld because it's thick and stays in place, it also can be removed 99% of the time with a little patience if that becomes necessary later on. If your lhs has the lockers that would be the easiest and cleanest way to do it and should cost around $20.00
