For you guys that have never done a transfer case, fluid change on your JL, do know that you have a skid plate that will be in the way when you go to drain the transfer case...
Some guys/gals will pull the skid plate, but it is far easier, to fashion something like this to facilitate draining..
You place this between the drain hole and the skid plate.... you pull the plug and the fluid runs along it, and then into the drain pan. No big mess on the skid plate and no pulling the skid plate.
This is an aluminum foil pan you get at the dollar store, etc.. You just cut the shape and fold up the edges. It's about say 16" long and about 4-5 inches wide. Easily cleaned when you get done so you have for next time...
