This weekend, I replaced the 2 coolant hoses off the water accumulator behind the motor, replaced the EGR and OSV, intake manifold gaskets, cleaned up the intake manifold/throttle body/fuel rail, replaced both throttle body and EGR gaskets!

It was a good weekend for my X, its back to driving like a champ

Love my wiper delete - 3+ years and going strong, have not missed it one time - clay bar on the rear glass and Rain-X is all thats needed - if its dirty enough its time to wash or rinse the car down.

I've been neglecting to do the fuel filter on mine for so long - had it on the bench since October - just haven't mustered the time up to drop the big ass cover underneath and R&R it - mostly for fear that I'll find the corroded rear brake lines underneath, and mostly because people say what a pain in the ass the big ass cover is to drop - I did get a fresh section of vacuum hose from the dealer though - maybe this weekend I'll get it accomplished - will give me an excuse to get a second set of Rhino Ramps to make it easier to lift the X on all 4 corners

I think you need a couple new tools too. Completely justifiable because of all labor $$$ you will by saving by DIY.

4 ramps are a basic requirement for DIYers.

They take minimal shelf space too.

I let my neighbor use the ramps and pressure washer to clean the chassis of his Hummer H2 each spring, verifies they will still support the X.

I have to say that looks really nice! I never thought about removing it, where i live it rains, snows or both at the same time so my wipers work overtime!
