I found WIX 51515XP at Rock Auto for the same price that my NAPA sells the regular 1515 for. Shipped from the same warehouse as something else so I said why not. Apparently it's well received and filters even smaller, you know typical "for synthetic oils" marketing stuff. Looking forward to checking it and seeing if there's an appreciable difference vs the regular 51515.
My luck it'll probably be 25% gasoline after 4000 km lol

day 3 of ownership.
Went to the JY today and scored a hitch, gas tank skid plate, bolts and the nut plates in the frame. total cost $81.
got it smogged too. passed with flying colors!
the jeep i got the hitch and skid plate from had a lift on it. the coil springs were red. looks like Rancho? it had the beefy LCA's. Also it has small shackles in the rear.
I think ill go back and grab them tomorrow. a pair of coils are 50 bucks so it may be a nice score.

How does having the oil filter there work out? Seems like it would be right in the way of the frame rail plus you couldn't fill it up with a lot of oil before start up
