Alloys swapped over and a new set of chrome lug nuts. Really makes a big difference to the look, will try to post some decent shots up tomorrow.

Debating to do the same when my xj gets to 200 to see how bad it is in there.

Did you buy a gasket from jeep? If so did they charge much for it ?

Nah. The sump gasket I bought from peps auto store. They had to order one in and from memory it cost me $92

All other gaskets I bought from the states.

If you are changing your oil regularly & when hot, this should not be necessary.

When you did your RMS, if you took the rear main flange out you would have been able to see inside the sump.

Replaced my normal battery with a 580CCA heavy duty battery. Wired up a small LED floodlight to the reverse switch. Also mounted a jump starter in the rear.
