some good news, new pan 11 bux after talking to the parts guy and showing him photos he agreed that my tranny is fine. so ill be doing it this friday night back at my house in MA.

 

Glad to hear about this. Good luck, man!

 

That's great news - I was worried for you. Glad that it's all working out!

 

$11.00 for a new tranny pan. I'll take two.

 

no kidding, you must of laid on it on thick with the, "I'm a student and I have $20.00 bucks to my name" Just kidding I'm glad this is all it will cost you to get the pan. Did you also order the gasket for when you remove? It is possible the other one will not survive. Tighten after a few hundred miles again to make sure the bolts stay nice and tight. Good to see this work out for you.

Where you able to bend back the original until you find a replacement skid? I wouldn't go and get a stocker replacement, just save up for one of the aftermarket ones or bring the stock one to a fab shop and get one made up for a little less money.

 

renaming and uploading like 60 vids to youtube. Dunno if they will be all done tonight or not but they'll be up soon.

 

is it going to be one video when it's done? If not won't we be able to see some before your done?

 

Jeez! I'm glad I didn't go! I would've mudded my pants on half of those obstacles!!!


Especially knowing I don't have the $$ for any repairs! (Well, I'm sure I could've dealt with an $11 tranny pan, but having to pay for fluid would've been another story )

 

Your lifted... you would have been fine. Jeb was bare stock with the smallest tires available on a JK and was unscathed. You would have made it over where JD got hung up. His wheelbase and lack of height got the best of him.

 

yeah luckily for some reason i felt the need to have 4 quarts of royal purple ATF on hand and bought it like 2 months ago.

so what am i looking at here for work, just drop the old pan, inspect the inside, clean out the new pan bolt her up and then fill from the dipstick tube, didn't see another place to fill, so if there is some one please enlighten me.
