^^ Yes
Having one Jeep is bad enough with replacements. Having 2 this is worth it. Esp when you have to replace 2 within weeks of each other

Thanks for getting the Bestop cover out fast @Disciple Off Road! It’s a perfect fit for what I need!

Went to go change the oil for the first time today and found out the hard way that someone over torqued the drain plug bolt… now before I take this plug out, I need to go get a new one 
it still didn’t budge. I had to watch Eddie’s video to make sure that it’s not reversed threaded, that’s how tight this thing is in there…

Oh man that sucks!!! But at least it’s a lot easier to get a bolt out/replace than replacing an oil pan haha always a silver lining!Went to go change the oil for the first time today and found out the hard way that someone over torqued the drain plug bolt… now before I take this plug out, I need to go get a new one
Damn, that sucks. If you haven't done so already, try driving around and heat up the oil. That might help a bit and then, use a breaker bar with a 6 point socket. I bet you'll be able to get it out with that.Went to go change the oil for the first time today and found out the hard way that someone over torqued the drain plug bolt… now before I take this plug out, I need to go get a new one

Good point! I just don’t get why I’ve run into two bolts that won’t budge for me this week

Thanks for that pointer! I’ll have to give that a try, it’s been sitting for a day or two.
Definitely get it warmed up. There's a rubber like gasket between the bolt head and pan that will stick pretty good when cold.

I would have never thought that could’ve been the issue. Thank you for the heads up on this. It’s been cold and rainy today, so if that is the case it’s probably even stiffer.
On a JL, for sure. On a JK, you will have some rubbing when flexing and at a full turn but you can otherwise get by around town with them.

Awesome, thank you. This will be on our gladiator.
