Someone else just had a post of this a few days ago. I believe the consensus was that it's normal. Although yours looks pretty bad.

Wow. I just realized that this is the same post just a different person. I need to go to sleep, but I'm up babysitting a server.

Yeah... I they should match... I can't wait to see it in the daylight. I think it will give the Jeep a unique look.

This will do for now until I get lockers and new diff covers... in a few months
