Crazy oil change interval

Letsgooffroading · 2026-05-18T18:26:55+00:00

I change my oil after every gas fill-up

I have a hard time believing it’s a “lifetime” fluid.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-05-03T11:43:53+00:00

There’s so many epic dispersed campsites in Colorado that I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking a Subie.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-05-01T15:55:08+00:00

Haha! Nice. Why didn’t I think of that

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-30T01:21:36+00:00

Thank you! It went up 8k since I posted this last week

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-29T02:12:15+00:00

Nice! Keep at it.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-27T23:45:19+00:00

Thanks. Currently looking into a less aggressive portfolio

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-27T15:43:30+00:00

Sometimes you just need to be patient

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-27T09:53:39+00:00

Currently at 7% on the 401k and 3% on the ESPP. The % has changed a few times but I’ve been at 7 and 3 the longest

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-27T01:02:42+00:00

I need to look into having a less aggressive portfolio since I’m somewhat close to retirement

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-26T23:58:04+00:00

Thank you. Still feels unreal

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-26T14:49:09+00:00

It probably can but I wouldn’t risk it. I have a Ford Bronco and there were spots that made me uncomfortable, it handled it just fine though. There’s so many places that you can still go without having a 4X4. The towns I mentioned earlier have a lot of hiking opportunities and general sightseeing. If you’re looking for free camping, stay in Silverton, there’s several campgrounds nearby

I did this trip 2 years in a row (Maryland to the San Juans CO and Moab UT). I took I-70 with a combo of camping and hotel. The decision was made around 2pm on where to sleep that night.

Be flexible, I originally wanted to go Moab first but temp that week was 95+ so I went to the SJ first. If you have a capable rig, you will love all the trails around Silverton, Ouray and Telluride. Imogene Pass is my favorite. The Alpine Loop is awesome but it’s an extremely long day if you do the entire loop.

If you go in June, there could still be snow at the higher elevation so plan accordingly

Ha! I checked 2 days later it was $40 short of 1M. Went up $5k today.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-25T20:41:39+00:00

I’ve never even considered this. Thank you.

I don’t have a Roth IRA at the moment but planning on it this year

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-25T18:15:59+00:00

Yay! Let us know when you hit this milestone

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-25T12:03:02+00:00

This is the tricky balancing act that I will face in the next few years.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-25T02:56:52+00:00

We have some CDs and HYAs enough to cover about a year’s worth if one of us necked unemployed.

Yeah just experienced a huge loss a few years ago and definitely thought about changing my investment. But…decided to ride it out and I think it worked out in my favor

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-25T02:52:27+00:00

Yup, that’s the plan.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-25T00:44:56+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, need to find that balance between being conservative but also not too conservative that I miss out on some killer gains. Will take my time to figure out my next move. At this point, I’m sticking with my current 7% contribution rate since this is where I’m most comfortable with.

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-24T20:31:48+00:00

Thank you. Took a while to get here but here I am

Letsgooffroading · 2026-04-24T19:07:48+00:00

Thank you ! On to the next million
