I speak from experience.

Removed old cylinder head! I actually found once i got the right tools the manifoilds were a breeze. Removed them all with a wratcheting wrench for the bottom bolts. In fact i spent more time trying to remove the damn electral connecter from coil rail and removing steering pump bolts. I did it the hard way and left the e-fan on. Tomorrowing morning i clean up gasket surfaces and everything goes back on.

I don't miss packing all my belongings up in my Jeep that's for sure.

I guess my college experience was different because I was a commuter and worked fulltime all four years. I dont miss it at all because I had very few friends and didn't do many extracurricular activities. Like drinking, I didnt do that.

Working on installing my cheap LED pods on the bumper. All the under the hood behind the grill wiring is done. Now time to tap into a live for the switch to trigger the relay and screw down the ground. Once it gets dark I can aim them so they are some what useful.

I replaced my running lights with some LED lights. Got some nilights from Amazon for $18. For the price, I love them.

Oil change tomorrow and brakes in the next day or so

Today I removed the Rusty's springs/3" metal spacer, in favor of BDS 3" springs with a 3/4" spacer. Rides much smoother. It doesn't feel like the front end is going explode when I run over a little crack in the road any more.
