Re: dropping the main skid plate on a TJ
At the risk of being too late to give any useful advice, you need to support
the trans while hte skid plate is removed. Yes, you can run the motor to
check for leaks, but do not become temporarily brain dead, and try to drive.

Thanks guys!
Well, I did remove it, my Catalytic is indeed shot beyond my "bubba" repair's
ability to fix it, and I did NOT support the tranny... d'oh. My motor mounts
seem OK...
