    You have the 6 speed or the Auto? The 6 speed is retardedly easy, just park on level ground, open the fill plug (24mm iirc) take off drain plug, drain, do it all in reverse. I ended up picking up a little like $10 hand pump to pump up to the trans straight out of the canisters. If youve got the Auto I've got nothing, never done it before. Could be just as easy, but I wanna say theres something about sealed transmission and different plugs or something.

    There are always cheaper options!

    This guy made his out of wood and skinned with aluminum.

    The only concern is termites... and fire...and rot...and splinters. But you're a baller and can go the aluminum frame route.




    Then there are Jeepers...

    It's not. Were you looking at the one where you pull lines off the cooler, running it, stop, refill etc? Took me MAYBE an hour and a half with the checking procedure. If you're pulling the pan a bit longer but still shouldn't be bad.

    Fill plug is in a shit location but just buy one of the hand pumps that screws on the bottle like @VolcomTacoma said and you'll be good.

    Isn't the fill plug accessible from reaching down past the engine from above or something? @Vrobledo3 if you wanna swing by sometime we can tackle that if you want. I'm always down to learn something new

    No it's tucked up on the passenger side. Taking it off/putting it on is the shitty part filling isn't bad.
