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

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