07 JK D44 4:10 factory gears. What would cause the spider gears to chip the tops of them off? Will be ok to drive til I can find a new set? Anyone have a set laying around? Thanks

Not uncommon at all on JK44s. I've seen more of them chipped than any other application.
Lemme see if I have a spare carrier laying around. Open or LSD?

I am not sure why, but they are not uncommon from what I have read. What is worse it I could not get replacement trac loc spiders according to ECGS. You have to buy the whole housing. If you want to go with a standard open set, they have to use an old style case, with old style spiders and re-drill it to 1/2 bolt size. This has turned out to be a pain in the ass when I though it was going to be a couple hour swap out. Should of known better.... next time I will look for a used take out.
