Bolts are ordered. Couldn't find any local in El Dorado County. One of the bolts took out the internal air line for the ARB as it flew around in there. I will add a splice to the line, which is actually recommended to ease in servicing the diff. The loose cover came about from the flying shrapnel as well. I can clearly see where a bolt got jammed between the ring gear and the cover. There is a nice little bump where the bolt came to rest in the housing. Nothing a little whack with a hammer won't fix.
What I would say is the best is having the pit to work on this. I am not dreading the work now. Standing, not laying on the ground, and the biggest bonus... It must be 20 degrees cooler down there 🙂

Drove it home... I will open the rear later tonight and see what's up.
WHATS UP:
Ring Gear Bolts. Should be an easy enough fix. I have it all apart and cleaning up the mess the old bolts made. Will pickup new bolts and a gasket in the morning. Ring gear looks good. I don't see any damage. Leak was from the loose cover gasket bolts, not the new pinon seal I just installed. I really need to talk to the last guy who put that cover on... oh that was me.
I had the same thing happen to me, don't for get the red locking glue before you torque in the new bolts.
