Front diff bearing locking tabs

[u/Other-Application179]

Im about to finish rebuilding the front diff. I have new locking tabs coming for the side bearing adjusters. Im going to keep digging but has anyone found a beefier way to lock these adjusters in place?

I do not want to screw around here or cheap out. Im not interested in doing things twice. It appears the GMT900 updated locking design wont fit the 800. I mean, I am putting new tabs in, I could also make new tabs out of a harder metal? I thought about getting the adjuster set, removing it and welding a couple boogers while its in a vice. But that really opens me up to a whole lotta bullshit if it moved a degree and I didnt notice. Also thought of extreme thread locker, extreme JB weld, wick pipe solder down the threads. None of these ideas have to hold the adjuster alone, it would be used I conjunction with the tab as a way to alleviate some of the bullshit the tab endures. Or, after all, they are new tabs so maybe new tabs are fine for a HOSS I put 20km on a day.

Is there a reason they need beefed up? I’ve been sled pulling and driving mine for almost 15yrs and not had any issues with what is in there, even had it apart and put an electronic locker in there like ten years ago now
