Why I do My Own Maintenance and Repairs

Since I am STILL getting "LIKES"...

More arrogance from our buddy. Discuss.

"I’ve paid cash for every vehicle I’ve bought. Only debt I would take on is a mortgage and I pay that off ASAP. Currently own 3 homes, all for my use, none are rentals. I’ve occasionally hear Dave Remsey on the radio. He’s good for the 90% of Amercans who need it."

Oh, and it it's Ramsey. I must be in the 90%.
 
The benefit of having a lifted vehicle is that you can crawl under an perform an oil change pretty quickly.

The benefit of our 01 LX470 is I can hit a button to lift it up and get under even easier... and if I work on something from above, I drop it on the bumpstops :hat:


The *only* work I let others do on our vehicles is tire changes and alignments.

We have a '17 Prius V that Toyotacare takes care of, but if/when they mess it up it's on them. (Selling that vehicle soon anyways)


*edit* guess I spoke too soon as the thread had derailed. Guess I can just say that money doesn't buy you intelligence....

Ower of perfect 224k V8 SE 4Runner

Recently purchased and gearing up for a complete front and rear differential, transfer case, oil pan, fluid replacement. Never done before but mechanically inclined. Thanks for the link I printed for plugs and gaskets needed. Any advice is excepted and any one willing to come assist me in Missouri. I will have too see what the trans fluid replace consists of while I'm under there. Feedback on type of oil to use would be helpful.

You must be new here, we're talking about multiple house ownership and 8 figure net worths in this thread.
 
Wait, after reading this whole thread, I realized, you guys missed the whole point... he can afford 3 houses BECAUSE he goes to Walmart for oil changes. Yeah, that’s it...;):
