Hey Joe, what Saturday is this planned for? I have work this Saturday, but if it's not this Saturday coming up, I may be able to help out. I live about 45 mins away from you, but don't mind driving. I can't drink the beer, but I can help do the work
. Just let me know so I can plan accordingly.

This is on for this coming saturday, i wanted to get it as soon as possible for Trekkr. Right now it looks to be three confirmed and one i'm awaiting on a reply.
My bud and i have done this job before, the other two guys are willing and able but havent tackled a rearmain before... so we'll get the chance to pass on the experience.
Figure thats all we need.. i'll supervise three and toss tools at em.
Thanks for those who wanted to help but couldnt squeeze in the time.

I need to replace my RMS but i'm gonna just let it leak and I'll keep putting oil in it. Bigomudders helped me well he ended up doing most of the work replace my oil pan gasket and it fixed my oil pan from leaking and now the rear main is leaking... Well it's gonna have to leak lol

Having trouble confirming the 4th person to assist, he may be working saturday.
I'd like to get another lined up in the event he's needed.
Anyone wanna step up?

Hi John, My son in law will also be here to help if needed. He wants to learn also about RMS. He has done oil pan gaskets and lots of other things. I got a commercial coffee pot going on early Saturday morning, milk, half & half, cups and whatever else is needed...I'll send my son in law for donuts...Tj

Hello all, Just wanted to personally thank John/OverLandXJ and his friends for coming today (Saturday 33/27/2010) and doing my rear main seal and oil pan gasket. Without their help I would have had to pay MUCHO $$$ to get it done and I wouldn't have met 3 AWESOME guys today...Just goes to show you how Jeep ppl help each other out when in need...Thanks Again Guys...Joe (Tj)



wish i could help, but best of luck to you!
