Installed the metal pan today. I still had to remove the cross member and raise the motor to get to the front screws on the old pan. With the new bolts this will not be needed. Sorry I wasn't able to take pics.... it was beyond a messy job. I also changed the fluid in the diffs and transfer case. For the second time Atlantic British sent me the wrong parts. The first time it was 2 lower control arm nuts and this time the rear diff plug was wrong. Will have to email them. This is a little upsetting because I had planned on ordering the coolant hose kit and a couple other parts. They were right on with the fluids though.

Looking for a little advice.
So I only have a few items left on the build list
Sliders
Lockers
Rear drawers
I have also started looking at tear drops to use as a base camp.
that being said I have run into a MAJOR issue
I saw a video for the DJI Inspire 1 https://youtu.be/nT5U9T9Uyok........ and now I want it.
So.... it's that or install front and rear lockers......... because they are both the same price.
yes eventually I will have both but I can't decided which one first.
thoughts?

Personally I think you can live without the lockers. The traction control works very well and is rather impressive and thats coming from a guy that used to drive a Rubicon. In the 10 years I owned that vehicle I needed the lockers maybe 3 times. That being said I also could do without the quadcopter but that just me. So I would do the sliders first and foremost then look into drawers but if your going to do a teardrop then why get drawers?

Teardrop would be used as a base camp so the drawers would be for tools and what not. They really aren't a high priority. The sliders are a weekend with a buddy welding. I don't need the quad either but the shots I could get and the videos I could make with that thing.... limitless!! it makes the illusion of sponsorship seem possible......yet still a pipe dream.
I would get sliders first.
A decent set of rock and tree ones, will act as a step to get in/out the car. Protect the sills when going over rocks and help keep the doors from getting bashed. Some also extend under the car to the chassis so will also protect the compressor and air reservoir.
I've a set of Terrafirma ones and they have saved the car a few times from damage. Mine don't protect the compressor and reservoir though. I managed to break the compressor holding clips and i've 2 dents in the reservoir.
Sliders before the locker's.
