It could still be the pic though. I'd at least make the steering link and Tue rod black again though. Too much color either way.
I plan to go with more of an iron man look. I just slapped the paint on, so it will come off soon.

Yellow top is a deep cycle battery. Basically, if you dont have a winch or a huge stereo system you don't need a yellow top

Probably not, unless you like to leave them on with the jeep off and drain the battery way down. Thats what deep cycles are.for, they can be drained down to almost nothing without hurting them unlike standard batteries

Ill be doing my lift soon and both my front axle an tc will be coming out. Don't you guys think it would be wise to rebuild them while there out? Both rebuild kits will cost $250 combined.

front axle? No since you have the disconnect D30. Find someone selling a late model HP30 without the disconnect and rebuild that.

TC...sure.

What is an estimate time range to do a Rear Main seal on a 90 cherokee???

Also any special techniques like it needs to be jacked up or anything?

I plan on doing this soon since the weather is cooling down.
