I need your guys help. I am in the process of setting up my rear end. In your guys opinion do you think that this looks like it will hold up, or do I need to do some more adjustment.

I usually do more teeth but that pattern looks good. You riding a bit high and a bit low so the way you have it works out about even. The crown and pinion were a married set I hope. That's where you get problems that adjustments can't cure. If you are off when you set it up it won't blow up on you, it'll make some noise but it wan't harm anything. All you are doing is making them quiet
They were a paired set when I got them. This is the second set up on the pinion shims. I had it set up once and it looked good, but was a little shallow. I changed the shims a little bit to make it a little deeper contact, but I fear I went too far.
I've seen sets ups that were not a good as yours cause no problems. You said you changed added shims. How did you get the bearing off without damaging it. You can't get anything underneath it to pull it off. If you can it the bearing off easy enough then you could put it back the way you had the shims set up if you think you had it better before. Shops have a bearing where they grind out the centre so it slides on and off the pinion so you can adjust the shims easily.
Well, my neighbor has set up a few axles so he has a few specialty tools. He has a little home made press, with a bottle jack. We used the bearing seperator with the press.
maybe I didn't try hard enough. It's been a while since I had to remove that bearing. Most of the rear ends I do is a switch from another rear so if the bearings are good there is no need to remove that bearing
i don't see any problems with how you have it set up. I set mine up the same way, just make sure your total turning preload is set up good. i set mine pretty tight, because i put in all new bearings. no noise or any problems the last 1000 miles or so.
