Removed, re-covered and replaced headliner. Used a very dark grey, heavy weight felt and Super 77. Hopefully it holds up.
I'm going to try an oil change with T6 5W40 this week, along with a NAPA Gold filter. I took the lazy way out for the drooping headliner for now, tacked it up with spiral upholstery tacks.

The snap ring that sits behind the seal had a burr on it from when I had to replace the bearing. The fact that it got me a month and a half was surprising. Got the roto tool out and took the burr off and got everything put back together. Took the power washer out and got her cleaned up. I'll have to get a soap soak on the belly to get rid of the remaining ATF. Made use of the rest of the sunlight and rotated the tires.
happened to me few weeks ago. I just left the ATF on the undercarriage. Rust protection. Haha

Just about done lifting it. Few things left and it'll be drivable again.

agreed. I have leather seats on the crawler. Primarily because I don't want the seats to be soaking wet if I do water crossings or if it rain or whatever. The cloth seats are in my daily driver and it make shifting the gears (5speed) much more comfortable.
