Agreed. My spark plug grabber was getting pulled out of the socket, so I switched to a 5/8" deep well socket to loosen the plug. Then, I just use the magnet to pull the spark plug out.

Flushed the rear and front differential and replaced it with Mobil 75w90 LS fluid. The skidplate was a time-eater. Now, I have to replace those bolts with new ones later this week.

If you do coolant, you should replace the expansion tank as well.

Otherwise, it sounds right.
