Default wrenching party

a fellow tacoma local (oo joshy oo) and I both need to do some work on our XJ's. i.e. change the rear main seal and oil pan gasket. We were just going to give it a shot together but then I looked into it and found that I wouldnt mind some help with the directions and tools, im thinking neither one of us have what it takes to do it. Is anyone interested in hosting a little wrenching party? we would supply some food and beverages and it would be nice to meet another member. Any takers???
