Cleaned my throttle body, the inside was caked with gunk. While I was at it I took out my mass airflow sensor.. That was dirty as hell too including the chamber it was in. Now she feels a little more responsive! 
then climbed a dirt mound I saw off the side of the road lol

10cent high idle mod while playing with my new power 410watt inverter. Trying to find a place inside the cab to mount it and wire it to the Battery.

All you guys and your 12's and mad wattage.. I "downgraded" my stereo from my two clarion SVC 10's to my one alpine DVC s-type 10". Left my 250rms amp in.. Went from taking up about 1/2 my cargo space to 1/5th of it. Had to rearrange the gear afterwards but worth it. And it still bumps when I turn it up. That and washed it. Yeah, that's right.. I love mud, but I hate road grit, and the XJ was covered in it..

Got that oil filter adapter leak fixed! Used a 30" pipe taped onto my wrench/T-60 bit/zip tie custom jobbie. It took forever to get this unwieldly tool onto the bolt, but it gave easily with the leverage it afforded me.
The dealership's o-ring kit was an exact fit. The o-rings I had gotten from Rock Auto were 2 out of 3 correct size.
As I was dipping the larger of the internal o-rings into a bottle of oil, I thought it would suck if it slipped out of my fingers into the bottle. Then it totally did. I dumped it into a pan and then re-bottled it. I only lost a couple of ounces. All in all, it went smoothly and my oil filter is no longer dripping onto my transmission lines and starter.
