Are these gears trashed? The pattern is a little wonky due to the pinion bearing being trashed but I think I caught it soon enough to where it might not be junk.
I don't see anything that would make them bad, the pattern looks a little off but the thickness looks even all the way across. They might be a little noisy until they break in under a new setup. I think their ok.
I sent the Hi-res photos to Carl and he told me essentially the same thing. We might just do a rebuild on them and see what happens. They already have about 120k miles on them so the decision to go with a new set of gears is still up in the air. It's a DD stock Taco so we will see what happens.
