did the rear main seal today. it took way longer than it should have. the oil pan was glued on with concrete and epoxy im pretty sure lol. i had to work pretty hard prying that pan off. then it took forever scraping the old gaskets off. it might have never been taken off before. it was by far the hardest oil pan i have ever removed and re installed. usually i have to hold the pan up while removing the last bolt, then peel the old gasket off hit it real quick with a wire wheel and its good to go. the wire wheel wouldnt even touch this old gasket. i broke about 10 razor blades which has never happened before. usually the same old razor blade is in my gasket scraper for a looong time lol. its done now though

Pulled the tcase drop and put new shorter hardware in its place. Installed the lower quarter panel guards that came with the smittybilt tire carrier I got. Had to take off my Napier v2 flares and trim like an inch and a half off the guards to keep them from hanging over the edge of where I cut and folded the rear fenders. I couldn't find my bit I needed to take the flares off so I had to spend 5 bucks on a new one... wheeling saturday so I'll put em to the test
