Thank you Phrogmech? Your place? I also have another great person in the post above willing to help in Long Beach. Only looks like the two of you are available which is two more than I expected. Lets set this up for next Saturday september 21st. Unless another date works better for you.
One of my fellow Airmen is currently battling stage 4 brain cancer. He was also very healthy and even competed in fitness competitions. Sometimes it's just random. It's a tough battle but can be won. Sounds like you have the attitude for winning!!

Regardless if I do it or someone else does here is what you will need to buy.
2 quarts ATF+4 (really doesn't matter what kind)
4 quarts 75W90 synthetic gear lube (I use Mobil 1 but you can use whatever synthetic you like really)
1 tube of black oil resistant RTV such as Permatex brand

I am grateful enough that the mechanical will get done.

Lets set this up for your place. It's a bit of a drive for me but I should be at my strongest by Saturday the 21st. What time were you thinking? In addition, I was also hoping to do the spark plugs. I have a set here Champion Double Platinum Power Part # - 7440 RE14PLP5. My father even purchased me my own torque wrench for Christmas which I have been dying to use, so i'll bring that too and maybe I can get a lesson. If I'm strong enough I'd like to learn how to do this stuff myself.
If anyone else can think of anything that should be done to my JK now that I have hit 55k please let me know. I don't want to over use your help but if there are a bunch of us meeting up then I could use the help right now. I'll bring a giant cooler full of water, Gatorade and beer. I can also buy food.

Hey Eddie hang in there. Glad to see so many fellow jeepers willing to help out!
If you've got a rear LSD, you'll need the additive when you do the fluid change.
I'd also check your rear brake pads just cause all this stop-n-go traffic in SoCal wears them out sooner than most. Can't hurt to check & they're fairly easy to replace.
