Why I do My Own Maintenance and Repairs

First post and I only own 1 home. Does changing your own oil(every 5-6k miles) and not keeping "record" of this risk an extended warranty repair not being covered?
 
damn, I'm not worthy of this thread.

I have 1 house. A smoking hot wife. A beautiful 1 year old that lets me sleep ALL night.

I need to step up my game.

BUT. I still have free maintenance from the dealership so Walmart won't be seeing my money. YET. :lmao:
 
You are incredibly stupid and persistent at it. This was an oil change. Got it.

There is a reason why I have 3 homes and a Net Worth approaching 8 figures: I am not you.


LOL.

Well, we have one thing in common (other than breathing and owning 4Runners) I too listen and follow Dave Ramsay. He's my reason for where I am too.

Your ability to name call is, well... :shrug: You don't know me :pound:

Would you be willing to trade one of my homes for your kid that sleeps through the night? Our 6 month-old is driving my wife nuts.

Since this thread has gone off the rails, get the baby on a strict schedule. That way both mom and baby will know what to be doing at any time of the day. We did that with my son from the beginning and he was sleeping through the night after 2 months. The only time he wakes up is from a bad dream or if he’s sick or his teeth are bothering him. It’ll all work itself out. Don’t forget to do nice things for your wife. She’s probably exhausted and barely staying sane.
 
We're not doing too badly. I think part of the trouble might be that she insists on co-sleeping, and feeds him back to sleep anytime he stirs before either of them wake up fully. I think he might sleep through the night when we start solids, so his tummy stays fuller throughout the night.

That’s a tempting deal. That would make me have 2 houses and then I can save for my 3rd house in Montana. OP and I can be neighbors and use the same mechanic at Walmart.

But I agree with MagneticTrd. We had our son on a super strict schedule since he was born. By 10 weeks he was sleeping In his own crib in his room and throughout the night. It does suck at times not going out or coming home earlier from events to get him in bed on time. But what sucks even more is not sleeping especially since I work at 6am. It’s all temporarily. Every baby is different but I’m a big believer on having a routine for a baby if you can.

Cheers
 
And another Wally World story

I read all of the post this morning but can't reply, how come no one ask the OP what are you doing changing oil outside of Walmart with Harbor freight tools in the middle of a road trip? This guy have money coming out of his orifices and goes to Walmart and expects a quality service? I'm sorry bro but you were asking for it, my suggestion don't stop at Walmart and buy tools at Harbor freight and get an oil change while on a road trip.:car::focus:
 
I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Doesn’t count unless your books are bound with Corinthian leather.

(That’s a reference only we older members may get.)

Any self respecting car guy should know this regardless of age!

we're headed out on a 2500 mile road trip thru Idaho - Montana - Wyoming, next week. even though my 4Runner only has 9500 miles on it (and I had the first oil changed at 5K) - getting the 10K service done before we leave.

I try and never get oil changes on the road - and never use JiffyLube type quick places, Walmart or tire places like Goodyear or Firestone
 
bump

i need more action

That's one car per house....:jaw:

Yeah, it’s been a few years since I defined myself by a car. I drive a 2005 Honda Accord and a ‘99 K2500 Suburban diesel. My wife drives the 4Runner.

I’m here on this forum for maintenance posts. Compared to the diesel forum for my Suburban, this forum is light on the maintenance and repair posts. Granted, these are newer cars and they have few mechanical issues, but this place is filled with posters worried about shocks, plastic dipping, rims, badges, skid plates etc.
 
Total crickets from this guy now....I was hoping for more talk of this guys 3 houses, near 8 figure salary and his hot wife...

And you're the guy who gets his nails done while his street only TRD Pro gets an oil change at the stealership.

Tough guy on the internet. Completely missed my point, but that's too be expected when dealing with low wattage. Proof of low wattage, I said Net Worth, not salary. Asshat.:flipoff:
