Oil change (last one until the break in period is over and I can put some good stuff in it) and painted my wiper arms, cowl and added new wipers!

Broke my oil pressure sensor trying to pry my filter off. Got a new one from advance auto parts and it didn't fit. My plug is round and the advance part had square prongs. Ordered an oem one and just have the jeep down a few days I guess.

You know those filters unscrew, right?

Make sure you get the right pressure sensor. There's one for gauges and a different one for idiot lights

Ouch. Doesn't sound like fun. I spent $30 on two drill bits and bent the shanks on both of them the first time I used them

Went to punch the pin out of my carrier, got it out after breaking one of my shop's punch, went to put the locker in.......and......it doesn't fit! Right spline count, non c clip but the cam gears are just a little too big to fit head on into the carrier. I'm stuck, were there 8.25 non c clip axles?

I took her into the shop before I left work to check up on the suspension.

Well crap. That explains everything!

I'm guessing advance has the wrong part on the wrong year.

Cut the stock sheetmetal turd bumper down into a shorty, for no other reason than I was bored. This will be more aesthetically pleasing until I get my winch bumper built.

I relocated the horns under the hood, right now the vacuum canister arbitrarily zip tied under the hood. I didn't find a good spot for it before it got dark on me.

I know this is Renix, but you get the idea.

I need to get a different shaped canister that would make relocating easier, any negative effect if I was to use a smaller canister?
