They already replaced the carrier, carrier bearings, and spider gears.
Came as a unit. See my other reply to get a link to some pics.

But then I would want a 44 in the front too. And then a better T
case. At that point I should just by a rubicon. If fact I am looking
for an'05 Rubicon unlimited now. But I still need to get this one
back together.

Re: WTB 3.73 ring and pinion
 

Dan if your rear end is growling, and it is not from Mexican food, then all
your internal moving parts are swimming in a soup of gear oil and ring and
pinion chips. This is not good, even for the parts that were new a week
ago. Depending on how long you drove it, the whole thing could be junk by
now.

Cheers,

Earle

I think the growling is from bad pinion bearings. And I'm not driving
it any more. It did sound better when the broken carrier was in
though. The pinion took a hell of a shot when the cross pin came out.
Still can't believe I made it home.

That bearing tells us it was history long before the lock bolt vibrated
out.
