Next thing I know they decide to find a new place to live, they move and everything without saying anything, they also threw out my tray, 8 quarts of AMSOIL and 4 blue oem filters.

I would've been cool about it if they apologized and fessed up, maybe reimburse me for part of it. Instead I get "I was trying to call you for 2 weeks" etc etc, which is just total BS

anyways, i think i've jacked this thread enough

sorry OP!

Yup I made mine out of aluminum diamond plate. The whole thing only weighs around 7.4 lbs.

3 bolts in the front under the bumper and two in the rear on the cross member at the back of the tranny. Takes an extra 3-5 mins when doin an oil change. Not a big deal for me personally

LOL, yeah, but even at a local shop, you will probably have to special order. As was already mentioned, they are big for one thing, and they likely don't exactly fly off the shelves either. Should be able to get any of them ordered at any of the decent local shops.
