        Skid plate was very very close to the oil pan, I blame the chineseum core support. Made some spacers out of 1/8" flat stock to give some room between pan and plate

        Then this

        Now there's daylight (about a finger space)

        Also noticed the steering linkage would bind a tad after putting everything back in so I filed the edge down barely.

        Also did New VC gaskets and used some RTV to keep the oil where it belongs. "Reinstalled" my harness covers as well

                  Hockey pucks would probably work well

                    Jackstands pads @ harbor freight.

                    Super nice to use. A tad squishy but very strong & don't hurt your car.

                    Think they are like $8 for two 452eec599b9882705fae1a4a2b960c3d.jpg87b23c78101fdd0b61674d9a2fe60720.jpg

                      +1 for hockey puck to avoid metal-metal with a jack under the diff or frame rails.

                      For jack stands Harbor Freight has those red covers that work OK on their 3/6 ton stands.

                      http://www.harborfreight.com/2-piece-rubber-pads-for-jack-stand-95952.html

                      A couple of layers of duct tape is another option to avoid metal on metal contact.

                          For the jack itself I use folded up rags taped to it so it doesn't scuff

                              Rear subframe is in, brakes are on, studs are in, endlinks are very loosely attached, stuff is plugged in, etc. it's all there and on, just need to fine-tooth-comb it tomorrow (kinda drowsy right now) 23b8bc7c270b6fd80b06dc05a3ec8894.jpg

                              Had to make some more side plate things out of flat stock because whoever put the last ones on absolutely destroyed them

                                I rerouted the rear lines last night and got some other misc items done. Tonight I'll be installing the driveshaft and maybe a few other bits as I wait for coilovers

                                  Did you get this remedied? I fixed that issue recently myself, and can offer advice if needed.
