Didn't do a lot. Just changed the oil/filter, checked the coolant/trans/power steering fluid, tightened the valve cover (it needed it), and kept telling myself that if I had a lift it would be easier to change the oil. I am still thinking about getting out the grease gun and crawling underneath it for some maintenance.

Found the causes of my power door locks not working. Two new actuators replaced but back to the JY tomorrow to get a new passenger door switch. One relay melted to the other which was caused by the actuator shorting out.
