Atlas ~2 Weeks out...

would like to book some time over at M4... im sure I only need 2.5 hours of your time and that would include the nutsert fix...

Does M4 off enclosed trailer drop if the weather goes south between now and then?

No salt for my trailer, but I'm sure we can figure out something.  Have two buggies to build...

pulled this guy out of moth balls yesterday...

forget how much I love driving it...
Scottys did a fair job on the oil pan.. started leaking from the rear... going back on wednesday for them to do it again..

Once I can confirm no leaks I want to start thinking about an engine/oil pan skid....
one that bolts to crossmember and comes forward...  any thoughts Smike?

all the new oil pan gaskets are stupid large.  you have to take 3M spray adhesive and glue the gasket to the pan before putting it on..


i screwed around with 3 gaskets and two new pans on mark ross tj before making it work.

the guys are good there... but skimming time on doing the oil pan right is an art only Jeep people know..
the inspection cover wont allow for a strait up and and down of the pan on install..
needs to go in on an angle..

all FSM call for separation of tranny and engine to ensure a good fit by all of even the dumbest techs.
