Yea new cover is already in the mail on the way here. I'll upload some when I get home.

What lift are you running?

No idea, looked like a small 10mm bolt. Searched the whole engine bay. I'm not missing any bolts so idk where it came from. Idk for me I've welded aluminum a couple times and I feel the biggest problem is that its' going to be hard getting a good weld since the backside still probably has oil...

Okay so pulled off the fan and even pulled the radiator to free up some space to get the impact gun on the crank pulley bolt (that shit was on there tight as hell smh). But managed to get if off with one of my powerful guns. Yup like I thought there was finger sized hole in the front timing...

Started seeing a little smoke coming from under the hood. Pulled over immediately. Truck was still running fine, not knocking or anything. No dash lights or oil lights and it wasn't running hot. Popped the hood and oil is everywhere. Pretty sure oil sprayed from somewhere and hit the header...

I understand the trail edition is the only model with the Rear E Locker and the regular models have the 4WD you can engage and disengage, but do the regular models have even a center differential to lock at all? Or do you have to get the trail edition to get any type of locking differential?
