Post At Home Work Ideas

Hi I'm sitting here with my 1988 Jeep Cherokee and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for work I could do on my jeep at home that could enhance it's performance, any ideas?

remove unnecessary weight (junk trash etc) proper tire inflation. check plugs, wires, air filter. check fluid levels and conditions. that's a good start. any work needed done will be evident from those inspections.
