ok so i had to take my little sister to her dorm to get all her "crap" and take it back to my mothers. so i figured i would change all my fluids befor the trip. i get 10qts of ATF+4 some Lucas oil stabilizer and fuel injector cleaner, the trans filter and, a new Fram air filter (couldnt afford the K&N) and my total was .....
........ $$$ 103 bucks $$$ ouch!!!!

i had the oil at my house and the filter so that was free and i changed my diff fluids last month so they're good. but i have to say my jeep has not run better. and it all only took me an hr 1/2 or so including clean up.. but my wallet hurts bad. good thing is i have enough ATF+4(had some left over from last time) to do it agian and the oil and diff oil. so the KJ is in good shape for a while (i hope).. oh and to top it all off had to pay for my college classes. thats a whole nother story :shock:

No, in your closet or under the stairs with a grow lamp.

And be careful who you sell your money trees to as well.

Crawl-space?

Any unused area out of sight is good, just don't forget about it and let something in your closet fall on your money tree and kill it.

wait until after school...$103 bucks will seem like chump change. Heck, everytime I go to Lowes or HD, I can't get out of there for under $100!!! With a house/home improvements, kids, auto upkeep, commutes, etc, I'd be happy if any car fix/maintenance I had fell under $110....I feel your pain as a student trying to keep up, but when the weight of the world sets in, you look back on $103 expenses and chuckle...just make the most of school so you can get out in the real world and earn those six figures a year!!

I forget to add one example and this will make yo cry in your cheerios....wait until you have a couple young babies....there is no greater "joy" than spending about $200-300 PER MONTH on diapers alone for roughly 3 years straight (my kids are 14 months apart and are now 4 and 5)....that would buy LOTS of oil!!! $200 x 12 months x 3 years is only about $7000 in poop catchers!! :shock:

No kidding, even when you just get a few little things it seems to add up WAY too quick, I bought some romex, outlets, and 4 2-gang boxes + misc.........$76, bought some vinyl trim to finish off some windows.........$85. I had a friend that called sams club/costco the "$200 club" because everytime you go there you end up spending over $100.

Always something to spend money on eh?

They will only be 6 figures if you include the cents. :lol:

Seriously though, there are almost no jobs out there that you can get straight out of college earning 6 figures. It takes some time to be earning that much, unless your in a profession where if you are really good you can make that much (real estate trading, stock broker, hitman...) you can expect to see something like that in several years after college.

I'm 26 and halfway through college with a kid of my own. I have a buddy who is 36 and just recently became and executive VP for a national company and is finally making 6 figures after 12 years experience out of college.

Pote, you must have some poopy kids to go thru that much in diapers a month!! :shock:

Im 21 and I couldnt imagine being married, having a kid, and going to college. :shock:

Did you change the fluid in the tcase? Doesnt take 10min and it is needed.

Make sure you check the fluid level in the tranny over a few days. Mine needed alittle extra after driving it for awhile, but dont over fill it!
