Can you take a pic of the snorkel from the passenger side (or just tell me)? It looks like mine which is a Safari with a fairly small lower portion. The others I've seen have a long horizontal lower area of the base.

Spent some time this winter getting things under the hood sorted out:
Oil pump
Oil pan gaskets
Timing belt/tensioners
Water pump
Alternator
Drive belt
Front main seal
Fan clutch
Steering rack/rod ends
Coolant hoses
Drive belt/tensioners/idler
While I was in there I added my dual battery, ome heavy all around and the thin TJM skids.
This was a lot bigger project than I thought it would be. Im glad everything is new though. I went Aisin on 75% of it from rock auto. Rolled the dice on a reman steering rack.

Where did you source the TJM skids from?

Sweet! Good job @Nijas98hundie!!!
I've been wondering if pan was easily removable in place or better to just pull engine out to get at. If you were do again, would you pull the engine or do in place again?
What all did you pull off to get out of the way, to pull the pan?

Dirty parts out of LA. I think summit carries them too. I have some 4x3/16 plate I plan to reinforce them with. These saved me the time measuring and bending for $200.
Well, oil pan was not in the plan until I stripped a hole in the oil pump (even with a torque wrench
). I had the steering rack out and dropped the diff about 4”. It’s important to note that there are 2 “pans”. One it the traditional stamped pan on the bottom. The other is an aluminum “wall” that bolts to the bottom of the block. There was a perfect angle/twist move that had to be done going in and out that took me several minutes each way to figure out.

Oh that's why you pulled the pan, I was wounding as I've never seen one leak.
I see you've removed the #3 cross-member, drop the front diff 4". Do you feel the steering rack had to be removed or could you have left it in place?
Now that you've experience pulling the pan(s). Do think it could be done with only removing #3 cross-member, disconnecting engine mounts and then raising engine a few inches?
Probably could. I looked at raising the engine but lowering the diff was easy(and I was installing Slees diff drop while there).
what radiator did you go with? what else did you change when you did this job? looking at doing my radiator also just want to get as much as i can done while im in there thanks so much
whats
what are the best coil packs to go with?
what roof rack is this?Picked up some ARB knockoffs from Amazon. Build quality is really good. All stainless nuts/bolts/brackets. Haven't powered them up yet, so can't comment on the brightness, throw, or beam pattern.
Nilight 185W 9" LED Lights
Just mocked up for now to figure out how mount them. Probably going to have to fabricate some kind of glare shield for the bottom side of the lights.
Nice build.
Mind sharing info on the LED fogs you fit into the ARB signal housing. Looks really stealth.
People are not too impressed with the ARB / IPF halogen fogs so this looks like a great upgrade.
I haven't done my 180K service yet- probably next month after it warms up a bit. I have a Denso radiator to install. As for what else, Ive got a little list of things getting updated durning this service. Here's the check list I am using ( several things on the list have been done in the past 12 mo)
