Why did i do this?
After doing one on the most miserable jobs I have done on the Jeep so far. I cleaned 5 lbs of grease from this pan and washed and wire brushed the whole thing. After I painted it I stepped away from this pan and shook my head and said WHY DID I DO THIS. I honestly feel it was a power thing and that when I got it off by myself I felt as if it submitted. Then I showed it what it should look like and it wasn't like the grease pit it had been. So hopefully I taught it a lesson.

I cannot put dirty parts back on my Jeep. I also cleaned the gunk out of the pan, wire wheeled the whole thing and repainted. Every 2,500 miles I crawl under there and admire the beauty of my oil pan while I wrench the bolt from it's hole to swap the dinosaur juice.

I'm about to do the very same thing. The new axle goes in up front starting this weekend, and the first order of business after the tear down is replacing the oil pump, rear main seal and leaking gasket, with a full clean-up and paint job of the pan itself.

I didn't take a pic of mine, because I didn't go as far as you guys. But when I removed my pan for the RMS I did clean it thoroughly inside and out. Every time I do any servicing on any of my vehicles I take an extra few minutes to wipe everything off real good, whether it be dust or grease.
