Changed the oil and filter and greased the u-joints. Had a ball. Put the pan under the sump and pulled the plug, then went to grease the u-joints while the oil drained. I have a rebuilt shaft so between both shafts I have a total of 4 u-joints and 2 slip joints to grease and amazingly all zerks and the plug were all accessible without having to move the truck! My luck didn't last long, though. While pulling the plug on the slip joint in the front shaft, my LED light dropped into the pan filled with oil, splashing it on my face and into my mouth. I had to take the light apart to get the oil out of it so I could finish the job. Then when I went to put the plug back into the shaft I dropped it and heard a little "tink" sound as it bounced off the grease gun for points unknown. Since it was night and I was out on the wet driveway, it could not be found. Luckily, I finally found it this morning after moving the truck.

Same thing I do every day, open the hood more times than I open the driver side door!! Lol but I really changed tranny,t-case,and diff fluids. Oh and tranny filter. T-case and tranny are a bit messy refilling but still a good time,I couldn't find a 1/2 " wabble extension any where in my town so I made one by taking a 1/2" extension to the bench grindet . It worked great!!!!

I beat it up off road with my friend in his 13 sahara. Had a blast.

I didn't like how the back looked, so I bent the bumper and cut it. Looks amazing now.
