Hahaha. I’m in the process of prepping for that. I have two valve body separator plates ordered (so I don’t have to pull apart and the try and source which one once apart - There are only two for my model gearbox). I have the zip kit and seals etc. I will order fluid shortly. I’m going to reuse the solenoids as I’m happy they’re working fine. I’ll go genuine fluid again though I have been running non-genuine Motul fluid for 50,000km without issue. I’ll do a 20L triple flush.
I expect my gearbox won’t work again once the work is completed

Is it too late to retract my original 2 line questions about rivnuts?

No. Own it! Be proud. Rivnuts are awesome (I’d just use rivets in this case ). Here we go again. It’s like bushfire you can’t put out, or a Coronavirus pandemic you can’t contain

I put 4 x Maxxis 980’s (255 55 19) on a few weeks ago. Has anyone noticed noticeable increase in fuel usage compared to the wranglers? Trying to decide if I’ve got a gucky fuel filter or if it’s the tyres. Filled up the tank today and after 20km it’s reading less than 600km to empty when it normally reads 650-700km

I use them. I have awful economy. But I also have a rhino backbone rack and roof spotlight. I assumed that was more impact than the tyres. I’m 580km per tank on the computer too.
