If the bearings dont tell you how much my wife hates me (she loves me very much but good lord this thing makes me doubt it) this was the story for every bearing as they were filled with rust/mud and who knows what else

So had to go back and do the rear main seal for the 3rd time since i paid a shop that is supposedly a specialty off road shop BUT THEY COULDNT EVEN TELL ME WHAT AXLES WERE ON THE JEEP which i googled around and asked a guy that instantly told me. Shawn@lugnut4x4 you are the best person ever. The guy helped me beyond measure to figure out all the parts on this thing. Ahem sorry i got angry last night because now we are getting caught up here and shops cant accomplish anything

This was the oil pan gasket, pretty sure you dont need to use the whole tube of rtv just 4 dabs if anything but i didnt use any rtv at all and so far no leaks so maybe lucky me? If i have to ill just drop the pan clean it then put a little dab in the spots that need it
