Doing some work in the parking lot at school :/ Had a cop stop and ask me if I was broke down, haha.

Finally got around to changing the fluid in my front diff (downside of a 4x4). By far the hardest drain plug I've tried to break loose. Took about an hour of PB blaster, beat with a hammer, ratchet, hit ratchet with hammer, repeat forever. Too bad I don't have a breaker bar...
Also touched up some of the trail damage on my main skidplate.

Realized after I drained it (50% in my rigged up milk jug catch pan, 50% on the R1 parking lot), I remembered I need 1.6 quarts of fluid. I only had around that much, so I had to be careful.
This is the biggest piece of medal on the magnet after I cleaned it some, does that look bad? The plug is pretty big, so it makes it look small.

My harbor freight transfer pump starting to leak out of every possible place as I was pumping so It made a huge mess, but I somehow ended up with the perfect amount to fill it up.
As soon as I'm torquing down the fill plug I get a call from Sam saying his 240's battery died. So I throw my 219308213 (read: 2) skid plates back on and rush over there.
MM equipment manager to the rescue.
