Removing skid pan 06 rubicon

Set the parking brake, chock the wheels, and prop up the transmission with a jack stand with a 2x4 in between to not damage the aluminum transmission case. Then unbolt the skid and lower it down. If you're working on asphalt be sure to place a sheet of corrugated cardboard under the jack stand so it's feet don't sink into the pavement.

Any learnings before I remove the skid pan?

Im going to por 15 my frame rails and undercoat everything else and will remove it for access

Looks like just put a block of wood and jack to hold the trans and xfer case up?

Missing anything?

Before you put it back up, some thick washers are a great way to put enough space between skid and frame so it doesn't trap water and start rusting there again.
