Loved to see Ralphie doing work by himself, setting up camera angles, changing earl, plugs and wires, his southern drawl accent..

Its interesting. How many 12 (ish) year olds can drive the car to the shop, change oil, and plugs, unsupervised, and with a level of competence not found in SO many adults. One of my favorite parts of your channel(s) is that you are building not only life time memories, but also real world competencies.

"can you reach the brake well".... "Yeah"....."which ones the brake"

love watching Squeeze learning to drive - her facial expressions are just priceless and such beautiful eyes

Subaru advice: every 100,000 miles you MUST replace the cam belt ! Wise owners do a complete kit, which includes the water pump and tensioner. My daughter bought one in Australia where they're very popular, the Dealer kit was a thousand bucks, but the mechanics and gear heads said the aftermarket kits are better and are $350. Up til 2006 the lateral expansion of the engine caused premature intake gasket failure, watch for leaking antifreeze. Word is, replacement intake gaskets are better than what's on pre-2006 engines. Also, some "experts" will tell you to adjust the valve followers when they get noisy. You can't take the valve covers off with the engine in the car...but good news is, noisy valves at startup is normal on a boxer. If the ticking goes away when the engine heats up, no need to adjust anything. Subarus are good quality long lasting vehicle's, worth fixing.

You should get Squize to paint the whole car as she want.

The gas meter on the dash has an arrow,show which side the tank is on😂😂😂😂... the small things in life.

She definitely needs windows tinted. Kudos to Ralphie for his maintenance work.

I love the terror on everyone's face when Marge put her foot down.

Monday sleeperdude? Impeccable!

I saw a video while back, where this girl drove up to the fuel pump, got out, realized the tank was on the other side of the car, so, she pulled out, turned the vehicle around, and, went to the other side of the pump. She got out, walked around, and, the tank was still on the side away from the pump. She did this three or four times before someone took pity on her, and, parked the car at the pump correctly, so, she could pump her gas. 😂😂😂😅😅😅 It was so stinking hilarious to watch!!!

Kudos to Ralphie for doing an awesome job on the tune up. He's a great kid.i would definitely take my car to him for service. Most kids his age have no clue how to fix a car. You have shown your kids real values. Glad they arent glued to cell phones. This is the stuff kids should be learning. My husband did the same stuff with his dad when he was ralphies age. Love you guys. ❤

Ralphie has it handled ...like a pro

Squeezle is so beautiful! All the kids have such varied interests and reactions! Talented too!

The kids acted like vampires when she opened the sun roof😂😂😂

Ralphie did a bang up job on the oil change,tune up and the paint job.Youre teaching him well.Keep up the great family videos.

Watching Squeezy in the back of that Scooby-Do while Mom was driving was the funniest thing I've seen on KZfaq in the last 3 weeks!!🤣😂 OMG! Her expressions are priceless!!😱😳

Like stated before water pump and timing belt, i do them when I get them just to be dang safe ..keep up the good work sleeperdude and family

It was kool seeing Ralphie take the initiative and start wrenchin'!

My Father-in-law swore by them they live in Maine and he had one from the early 80's until the day he passed. He would drive them until the body was falling off and then he would go get him a new one. I don't know much about the new ones but the 80's and 90's were great cars. I hope y'all are doin good! 👍 Ricky from Waco Texas.😁

No more snow days now that’ll go through a blizzard. Subaru is very popular here in Alaska.

Yall are literally my family 20years ago. It always makes my day watching your videos! Reminds my of my childhood. You are a great father and building something great for your children. Don't ever stop!!!!

Yeah I have a 2000 legacy.. 274,000 MI, still going.. next to unstoppable in the snow.. has power almost everything.. been really really good 😊 squeezy finally got her Subaru.

Subaru forester the best car. It is first crossover car. It good on offroad and in the town driving. It steering really good because opposite engine is a cause of low center of gravity. And as long as we talk about engine. It was produced for the US market, so I guess it atmo EJ25. It is mega reliable engine. I have now forester sf5, it issued long long time ago... in 1998, but still in very good condition! So my congratulations about this purchase! And it will be the best twice if it have a TV series transmission.

That will be a great little car for Wa to drive or at least learn to drive on. Her bug is super cool but it might not be the most practical daily this day and age.

🙌 Hooray, what a surprise! Another Sleeperdude video! Now let's watch it.

I used to have a Subaru and someone told me to make sure all the tires were all the same or it would mess up the AWD system. It was unstoppable in Ohio snow

I think Mum needs to do a school run driving video. Never seen anyone hang on for dear life when she hit the wheel. Bless you Tosh 😀

Everyone did a great job bringing this car up to snuff with all the basics. Nice new acquisition.

Hi Sleeperdude family. My brother bought a ’98 Subaru Outback with a 5-speed manual,2 years ago, and he loves it. Found it at the Subaru dealer in Downtown Chattanooga.

Your Lad has got skills, and smashing his knuckles he now has the war wounds we all have, You've done a great job passing your skills down to your children .You are a great role model ,

Pressure check the cooling system to check for Head gasket leaks . The head gasket usually leaks to the outside . The left is the most common one for leaking. Those cars have a fuse slot to put a fuse in and make it 2 wheel drive for better fuel mileage. Any amp fuse works.

I like it when you have a second channel your videos are awesome to watch since there all family friendly 👍🏻🇨🇦

A guy I worked with had 3 of the Foresters over a 20 year period. He loved them all! Never had any issues with them at all.

The misadventures of Ralphie! I love it! He's such a great kid😊

Pretty nice vehicle for the price. Needs a little bodywork, but it seems sold mechanically. Ralphie did an amazing job with the maintenance and painting! You are blessed with three Great Kids! 👍

love your videos, i randomly found your channel a few months ago and had zero interest or knowledge of cars, but i've learned so much watching you. such a great role model, appreciate you and your family!

Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⚓ good luck with your new car Tosh. You guys are always a joy to watch and may God be with you all ✌️🇺🇲

Fun fact: if you look at the gas gauge on most cars these days, there is an arrow pointing to the side with the gas door

Those car wash brushes work great at home, cleaning your shower, house windows, dusting walls.... They give you some real torque on shower walls and bath tubs without much effort, so feet on the floor scrubbing. Love seeing the kids working right along or without parental supervision, Ralphie Rocks!

The outtakes are the best part of every video

Tosh gets in and just plants her foot on the accelerator, just the usual. LOL.

I love subaru foresters they are great cars you can't go wrong! They are easy to work on parts are affordable you can't beat them

We have a 2011 outback. 320k and counting. Its been all over the country from yellowstone to Georgia up to Canada around lake Superior. and everywhere in between. Great family car. You went right on the spark plugs. They dont run well on the cheapies. I tried and changed them in like 5k miles.

What a way to start the week. A surprise Sleeperdude video waiting when I got home from work! Impeccable!

I’m so happy today. My f350 project finally drove. The clutch was stuck disengaged after the engine swap but the old 93 crew cab dually finally moved again.

4:05 You got a Subaru! Nice! Forresters are decent cars. Looks to be about an early 2000s. Boxer engine is good too. Those things will last forever. I drive a 2016 Crosstrek. Just hit 75k on mine today. But yeah. I have a friend who drove those older Subies for years.

20:26 AMAZING in the snow. At least my Crosstrek is lol. And yes a LOT of Subies up north here where it snows.

Really nice to see squeeze drive for a change

Believe it or not, a Subaru is a very safe car if hit from behind. I went to Michigan with my brother when he was working and traveling for a cell tower company. We were in the company car, which was a new Subaru . We were completely stopped on 80/90 in congested traffic, and a jeep hit us from behind at full speed. The jeep didn't survive, although the driver was fine. My brother was nervous when we got out, but all it did was bend the tailpipe just slightly, but the jeeps engine was literally pushed into the front seat .

We had a 2005 Subie Outback. We gave it to our oldest for school . He drove it to 228,000 miles when the head gasket finally blew. (LH). I did one timing belt change previous on it and wasn't super fun. They are super reliable cars , though.. . enjoy it. Also good job to Ralphie for the awesome tune up tutorial.

I love the Forester! I'm on my 3rd Outback, so I am a big Subaru fan 😊

Hay Josh, if your interested in rice burners! Try find a unmolested RX7. Derestrict it and you have a 180mph 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds. All from a 1.3 engine. I regret getting rid of mine so much fun.😊

When it's all said and done it only makes sense to have something reliable with airbags for your daily. And you never have to worry about getting held up at the gas pump for 15 minutes because somebody's uncle had a Subaru Forester 30 years ago.

Pro tip- there's an arrow on the fuel gauge pointing which side the gas cap is.

Love all the channels. Keep up the good work. God bless you all.

Welcome to the Subaru family. I got my 2024 Subaru Outback Touring XT exactly one month ago. I traded in my 41,000 mile 2010 2SS/RS Camaro with supercharger and track/suspension (553 HP/505 Torque to the wheels).

I think the whole family loves it. Squeez did good when she figured it out. Ralphie did dang good on the wrenching and painting. Be a good driver for WaWa til she has a few miles under her belt

Boxer engine valve cover gaskets leak directly onto exhaust, so you'll know when(not if) they start leaking. The road noise helps cover up the rattles. Great little cars, but they are not quiet inside.

WaWa- looks like mom Ralphie- looks like dad Squeezey- looks like a combo of mom & dad

Sleeperdude Jr. coming soon. Good job Ralphie!!!! Subarus have “IMO” the best AWD systems!

13 minutes in and Squeezie is killing me with her jokes! 😂😂😂

Nice little gas saver and agree it will help WaWa better acclimated to driving

THE BEST CAR YOU EVER BOUGHT

Our old Outback would cut through two feet of snow. The 2.2 had less problems we had 500000 on it.

ROAD NOISE CURRED::::::::: I have a 2011 and I bought a set of MITCHELIN'S [hard on the envelope] But what a difference. That was 6yrs ago and 55,000 plus miles. Those cars are light and easy on tires and all wheel drive makes the best braking power in an emergency. I had to stop at night going around a corner with 6 horses in the road, all 4 tires marked the road as straight as could be, I love my Subie. You do have to buy all 4 tires at a time but you don't have to rotate them at least I haven't had too. Love getting 2 videos a week. Love them everyone.

Welcome to the Subaru family. I have a 2005 WRX i bought new and still drive.

Hello again very nice to see you all today and will be there at around 4 PM 👍👍👍👍👍🤗

Thank you soooo much for the bonus video it's been a ruff day I need a healing touch!!!

And props to Ralphie for changing the plugs. Anyone out there that’s changed plugs on a Subie knows, the dohc cars have the plugs right in line with the sides of the frame, so it’s really hard to get them in and out, especially the rear ones. It’s usually easier to jack the engine a tad, just an inch up and it’s a ton easier to get to them.

I was just commenting about a subaru swap in WAWA’s bug on the last video too!!!….along with the mystery machine for squeezy…..nice little subaru….looks like a great copart find!!!

And a little something for Wa to think about.....Subie 2.5 turbo will fit in that bug with a little help from Dad. Talk about passing the torch. She'd be known as Sleeper girl. Quickest VW in Tennessee.

11:56 That could be the source of the old joke that when you buy a Subaru, you best make sure to buy the optional six-pack of spare engines with it.

Oh how I love it. I needed this today.

I love how you have all your kids driving way before they are old enough. We always done that in our family and I know it makes them better drivers when they grow up. Nice little ride Marge.

Wow Squeeze not only has on shoes but they also match!

Sqeezie is a natural-born Subaru girl.

As usual, a great video. I have to say, though, that the best...the Very Best part...was watching Ralphie go solo. Yes, it was just maintenance, but it's the first time that dad wasn't hovering in the background. Ralphie stuck with it when things were being difficult and he figured it out. It was an absolute delight to watch him demonstrate his progress. Ralphie, you're the best!!!

Something I learned ...by accident is.... there is a little arrow by the gas gage that tells you which side the fuel door is on......I like it.....

the squeezle sass this episode had me rolling 🤣🤣

The problem I've come across with them cars is the timing chains or a guide go bad and wipe the motor out. And Squeezy is Adorable ! She has the ability to fly around back there and never mess her hair up lol, You Guys are Awesome and I enjoy everything ya'll do.

My Nephew has a smaller Subaru. He has done a bunch of aftermarket upgrades. It is turbocharged of course .runs pretty strong. Sounds like a pissed off Bumblebee though. It's great in the snow.

Just finished this episode we was so impressed with Ralphie doing the tune up and oil change better then most older guys working at oil change stations the paint looks good you guys got a super good deal on that Subaru wagon thank you for this surprise video on a Monday night made our night god bless you all :)

I half expect to see Mike and Ivan from Niko bros to show up. Hello Sleeperdude family

OHMYGOSH JOSH!! MORE vehicles??? Can't watch just now...covered up with work today! Love y'all! me here at Thrif-T body & paint in Wyomin'

Gosh, I love you guys! Another great video. All the kids are so great, Ralphie is really stepping up this year. Best part of my day is watching you guys. Love glancing over to my Squeeze painting. Adorably turtle!

The Ralphie service portion of the video was SOLID GOLD! Super enjoyable TV.

You realize now that you own a Subaru you must wear tie-dye, carry a dog everywhere, save the planet, hate all things bang bang and move to Colieradoe.

Very nice car. Ralphie has done a great job. Thank you for sharing!😊❤

120,000 miles is now considered “low milage”. Wow, how times have changed.

Congrats with one of the best AWD ever. Replace the window gussets for a more quiet drive, its a forester thing that they wear out and make a wind noise.

GREAT JOB Ralphie!!

Awesome video good job Ralphie on the tune up😊

I just did some service on a Mazda 2013 cx 5, used wix oil filter, iridium plugs. The plugs go for 50k miles plus. It was a 2 L engine. 2K is a great value for sure...Nice score for Marge..

Great job Ralphie, you did amazing taking over on the video and the maintenance you performed. There's many people out there that can't or choose not to do , what you accomplish!!!!!! Awesome job to Josh and Tosh on raising there family as they are !!!!

Out of the KZfaq channels I watch you guys are the best, I like seeing the kids have such an interest in cars, looks like Squeegy is starting ti get into the cars. I really get bored when I don't see you guys

Ralphie is ready for his life with the mechanical aptitude of young men twice his age, as a grandfather i love watching you share your knowledge with your children, weather they use it in everyday life or not they will never question their ability to have their own opinion! And know when a garage employee is giving them a good story or the truth. Studded snow tires have to be off the car by mid April up north . I take them off as soon as it starts to warm up due to the excess noise they make, it sounds like little tap dance shoes in all 4 wheel wells, can’t stand it!

that 2nd gen forester is sweet! My parents had 2 of them (03 & 05) when i was a teenager - always loved the design. great interior and that all wheel drive is unstoppable. Bonus points for the big ass sunroof!

Hey Josh - how about starting a policy to live with - no one operates any vehicles on or off the farm, unless they have their seatbelts fastened. For y'all - it'll take some getting used to, but that's the whole idea. It becomes a habit when you enforce it - Josh - you have to set the example for your children to see and want to follow. Again - something you can live with!! Chuck in NE Kansas

Excellent job Ralphie! I know a LOT of full fledged adults that couldn't do what you did.
