More Ring Gear Stuff w/ pics
Okay for those of you that have been following... I hate really long threads so I started a new one. Here are the pics you guys wanted..... 7 broken teeth.
4.88 ratio. So what size is the size of the nut that holds the pinion on? It's freaking huge!

Stock gear. It says Toy 488T on the side. Flecker I haven't put it together yet. I'm going to run down to Randy's Ring and Pinion after work tomorrow to get the gears. I'll put it back together this weekend. I'm also getting a few more quotes on the rebuild. I'm wondering if the extra $300 is worth it for the warranty. I might just suck it up and put it on my already large credit card bill.

Well, I sucked it up. Randy's is rebuilding it and it should be ready on Tuesday. Estimate of $500. I'm hoping a little less since I did the prep work for them. The one thing I'm not looking forward to though..... is having to break in the gear. I can't go wheeling until after 500 miles...... That's $45 bucks in gas.... Hmm..... I'll just have to drive a little more than I usually do to get it broken in.

That looks like one of mine. I had faillures with OEM diffs and also with aftermarket kits. I used up something like 11 or 12 in abiut 9 yeras off wheelin. My buddy's also have had some faillures.
The 8" R&P does a good jog when stock. But they will eventually fail with bigger tyres and more hp.
Hope you have more luck than me.
