Not all exactly this week but close enough, but the start of my "Project Next Level", since I keep fubar-ing up my first set mods.

EVO skins covering damage.
Modified VKS Fab rails to replace my bent to hell TnT's.
Skid Row skid to replace my 2nd taco'd RROR's.
Poly tie rod to replace my snapped Currie.
Mopar half doors because they are bad ass.

Again, nowhere near as glamorous as a Crush, but what needs to be done needs to be done. Notice how I'm always on here right after a run? (lol) Replacing a damaged oil pan. Skid plate is one of many things on the "next" list. Little irritated at Chrysler for not selling just the black pan. They sell the pan along with the silver part that actually attaches to the crankcase, which really jacks up the price.

Having c gussetts and steering stabilizer relocation bracket welded on today. Will post later.

Too late now, but there are aftermarket oil pan/skid combos.

I rushed it , no doubt. I was leaking, and the stealership had one in stock, so I jumped all over it. In my CC&R's, you can't have a leaking vehicle, nor can you have anything visible on the driveway, even if it's temporary, to prevent oil drips onto the concrete (yes, in your own freakin' driveway...unreal right?). My Jeep no longer fits in the garage, so I was kinda stuck. The front diff took a bang as well, but that was a very slow leak which I was able to fix just with the RTV. Waiting on my rock slider diff cover.

Next time someone is having an install party involving welding, I'd like to join and help out. I'd love to learn. Seems I could save some money and be way more independent and potentially help someone else out on the trail. Dude out on the trail had a little Mig welder which worked unbelievably well.

So, did you add a skid to the pan? I run a $80 skid to cover it up.
