Go right ahead, hope it helps. I planned a CO trip a couple of years ago to take my Jeep, but everyone backed out (and so did the buy with the trailer) so I had to take my Honda and skip all the trails. This one is more last minute and seems to be working out so far, one more week!

No free oil changes from the dealership?

I think they will only do the free oil change at 10k mile intervals. I'm approaching 4k and also plan to pay to have the oil change when it goes in for service at 5k.

I think if you really push them to do it at 5k they will. The "free 2yr/25k" service only allows 2 oil changes though, so if you did it at 5k it'd take away one of your other two.
I just don't like other people touching my vehicle, and while I did just take it in for the 5k service (rotate tires and add washer fluid) I won't let them change my oil. It's easy enough to do myself and I don't mind crawling underneath it. I'm going to change it again at 10k miles, and then at 10k mile intervals.

Day 2 Cont.:
Things got interesting quickly, on the easiest trail we would run for the trip. Daniel found out that the little 4 banger and lack of a true low gear would make it a bit of a challenge for the Renegade to make it up the steep hills with rocks bouncing him around. At one point, he came to a stop, in an attempt to get some momentum he backed up to readjust and the next thing I know, he's frantically calling for help over the walkie talkies. Here is what I see when I back down the hill.
Below is a 20-30' drop, while not the worst place to fall off a trail, certainly wouldn't have ended well for the Renegade. We hooked up the 4Runner and prayed that it would be able to pull it back onto the trail, and it did so with ease.
With the Renegade back on the trail we continued on, about half a mile later when we made it to "Oh Point" I noticed that the Renegade had a flat tire...With some of Cinnamon Pass and all of Engineer Pass remaining we put on his donut and continued on.
While we were changing his tire we heard what sounded like the "baaaa-ing" of sheep, we looked over the edge and there were hundreds of them!
Made it to the top
Engineer Pass
Daniel approved of this pass

Day 5 cont.:
By now it was about 1:30 pm. We hadn't planned for so much free time...I was filling kinda crappy from allergies, so we packed up camp and went back into Silverton for a solid meal instead of camp food. We went to Eureka Station and ordered steak.
Daniel was craving dessert, and as you walked down the street you couldn't help but smell the delicious smells from the Funnel Cake Factory. He ordered the Cinnamon Roll, and I ordered the Black Forest (funnel cake, cherry sauce, hot fudge, vanilla ice cream, and powdered sugar).
Saw a hummingbird hovering about two feet above my head.
We decided to call the trip done. We drove back to Gunnison to pick up his Jeep. Daniel slept in the Jeep overnight and waited for a local tire shop to open up so he could buy a used tire to get him back to Denver, where he planned on buying a set of KO2s.
I was restless, so I decided to head back to Fort Worth. I drove a couple of hours, and pulled over to rest. I did this several times and finally made it home late the next day. I was driving during the entire eclipse, but never noticed anything different.
I got home and assessed the damage. Aside from some nice pinstriping, the worst of the damage was a scrached bumper and a modified exhaust tip. Overall, I can't complain. The 4Runner handled every part of the trails with ease.

Check out Texas Overland, Texas 4Runners, and maybe Toyota Trail Riders (I don't know much about the TTR)
