Default Update on my jeep, tell me what you all think

Well what I have done to it since I owned it is -

-Front diff oil and gasket change

-Rear diff oil and gasket change

-Transfer case oil change

-new air filter

- Installed the homemade roof rack

- Mounted the spare tire on the roof rack

- put on a hood pin kit (because the latch was messed up)

- Painted the floors black

- Put the flag on the right side bumper

- cleaned the whole dash

- the muffler was messed up so i bought a hanger and a elbow and it stick out from under the frame and looks sick

- Greased all of the grease fittings

-------------------------------------------------------

Things to do-

-oil change and oil filter

-flush the radiator, any tips? i have the renix one with no radiator cap

- do the rear main seal, which includes the oil pan gasket

- Fix the oil pressure gauge

-------------------------------
and a question

- On the older model 88 cherokee mine has grease fittings on the drive shaft, should i grease them? because i know that most drive shafts don't have them

Looks fun but, you sure aren't spoiling your rear passengers.

Kind of digging the hood snorkle things sticking up. Your rig is not built for comfort, thats for sure. Looks cool though.
