Just swapped out my starting batteries. This thread helped a bunch. Thanks Scatter!
A couple of additions:
1. I went with DieHard Platinums. Mostly because Scatter mentioned the issue with the distance between the posts.
a. The Platinums (65) are an exact match in size so no issue with the length of the ground.
b. The Platinums appear to be made by Odyssey which is working great in my Jeep. 3+ years with no corrosion.
2. The battery box is designed to leave the back two bolts and front bottom bolt on the frame. Once I figured this out, getting them off and back up was relatively easy. Just loosen up those three and take off the top front, disconnect all of the grounds and you are ready to go.
3. The cables are not long enough to set the batteries on the ground prior to disconnecting. I didn't have a floor jack, so I used a cooler that was high enough (13.5") to not leave the batteries hanging from the cables, but low enough to get a wrench in to take off the covers and disconnect the posts.
4. The cables are mounted to the frame between the batteries and in front of the front battery. Recommend disconnecting both from the frame to give you enough slack prior to trying to lifting the boxes off of their mounting bolts.
5. Ratchet wrenches with adjustable angle made the job MUCH easier! A socket was required on a couple as well.
I had a heck of a time getting the batteries down. However, after learning these lessons they went up pretty darn easily (with a little upper body strength).
I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Hope that helps the next guy avoid the PITA!
