I was thinkin about it. But I decided to not buy anything. The bottle of tint remover looked cheap so I didn't wanna drop $5 on a spray bottle of water. Haha

I read on ALLDATA at school that the stock rear main for an 89 Cherokee is a one piece. But the replacement is two. Is that correct or should I just pop it out and find out? I gotta replace mine too but I'm kinda leary on it cause no one can give me some good advice.

Loosen shocks, unbolt sway bar, disconecy trac bar, and steering from the pitman arm. Remove starter.
That should give you enough room to easily remove the pan

Got my new lower control arms from Rusty's today. Ordered my uppers today after noticing my pinion angle was pointing level instead of at the t.c. like the the stock lower arms. And the drivers side control arm body bolt is going to get sawzalled/ground/cut till it relinquishes it's dastardly hold.
But I did get my window put in (THIEVES!!!!!) and wired my spare head unit in so I can at least have tunes...
