Rust?
x2, a pretty pitted ring and pinion
The kid I bought it from really liked mud but didn't seem to like the cleaning of said mud nor preventative maintainence.
Yes their 4.56's and a Detroit No-Spin. Just wondered if you folks knew yur stuff or not.

I would run it as is.
I'd use some Scotch-Brite on the rusty teeth and get the worst of that off. With the way the pinion teeth wipe across the ring teeth the abrasive parts are going to cause wear sooner than later.
Other than that it doesn't look too bad. No chipped teeth that I can see...and no schrapnel in the bottom.
Any plans of shaving the "trail plow" off the underside?

ummm, hello! this is ck5
After the last two runs - I'm definetly going to "crop" it. One rock almost did it for me in Sutro Canyon. We had to keep running at it to get over it.

It looks like a spool type differential. If it is then both wheels are essentially locked together. When you make a sharp turn, you may hear one wheel chirping because the wheel speed is different on a tight turn.
