I did it!
I finally changed my oil! I know that most of you are like, "whats so great about THAT?" but just the feeling of doing it made me wish there was more to it! Now i wanna get a new "airbox" 
Could I do That myself? I probably dont need one, but now i wanna know my jeep INSIDE & OUT....

I declare you officially addicted to the Jeep lifestyle. New airbox should be a new CAI or Cold Air Intake. That will help the 4.0L breathe better. Congratulations. Forever hooked now!!!

Air box is simple also. Undo the hoses they just pull off. Unclip to reveal your filter. Under neath there are 3 13mm bolts/nuts remove them and slide it out. Pretty simple.

Getting the hands greasy (in your case...oily) and doing it yourself.

Now the possibilitys are endless 
You will find that the jeep is a lot more simple then it looks, its usually best to just jump into something and get dirty. Only then will you know how to work on a vehicle

HAH! I remember when I first changed the oil in my cherokee, I was so proud. Then my best buddy went and said, "Dude, its a FRICKIN OIL CHANGE, my grandma can do that." And alas I was insanely bummed out. Then I realized something he would and could never understand...I have changed the oil in a Jeep, and he has not. :]
