Routine Maintenance

Did the following work the past couple of days as I had time:

Spark Plugs (Bosch Platinum +4)
Front Diff Fluid (Redline 75w-90 synthetic)
Read Diff Fluid (Redline 75w-90 synthetic)
Transfer Case (Redline ATF systhetic)

Gotta love not having to jack a car to work underneath! Fluid work was very straight-forward.

Spark plugs were kind of a pain, the pax side was easier than the drivers side, which was the opposite of what i expected. 2 hours for the plugs working slowly. Careful levering the metal boots out, I broke one. That was a bit nerve racking, but I got it sorted out. WD-40 on the metal boots is a must to loosen.

I pity the fools who wait to 100k to replace, as mine were already starting to rust to the head @ 50k. Save yourself alot of heartache in the future, use anti-sieze on those new plugs!

For those that missed this in the past, see the attachments.
