The intake is awesome though, matched with the bored tb, neon injectors, and magnaflow cat back it growls like a beast
Throttle body spacers are worthless on these jeeps btw

You're probably right. I dunno how much oil my Jeep holds really - I just keep going until the dipstick is happy after running it for a bit lol.

Yes. Also higher flow of oil and better pressure.

Yeah I've read that countless times, but I got it for free so I thought I'd see for myself if there was any difference.

Disconnected my cruise control because it tried to kill me. I rarely use it but was playing with it on my way home today and it wouldn't turn off. I tried hitting the brakes, turning the cruise switch off and turning off the key. All it wanted to do was accelerate.

Oil change and replaced the headlights, front turn signals, and the reverse lights.

One of my turn signal sockets is broken. The little metal connecter in the socket rusted through...I have no idea where to get a new one.

The tape has to be ON the little slats or the paint will go to the front.
I like them done like that I was contemplating doing mine today (knowing I had to do SOMEthing today to occupy my mind...I have not 1 but TWO abscessed teeth going on ),but in the end,just didn't feel up to the extra work (in retrospect,I shoulda :P )
