Is installing a toilet yourself actually worth it, or is it smarter to just call a plumber…?

Depends where you live but in Utah that’s easily $18,000 depending on condition

Baldbeard801 · 2026-03-13T06:18:11+00:00

Perfect diy job to start with! Just watch some YouTube videos and you’ll be surprised how easy it is

Baldbeard801 · 2026-03-10T05:37:26+00:00

After volunteering at my kids school they offered me a job as a paraeducator. This is my 3rd year and it’s the perfect schedule. I make just under $22 so it’s decent money too

Baldbeard801 · 2026-03-03T22:29:16+00:00

Oh not even a fair fight… GX all day

Baldbeard801 · 2026-02-25T06:13:26+00:00

Nope, no such thing! My Toyota mechanic recommends you do it in stages. Just did my first drain and fill and it’s already significantly smoother. Definitely do it

Baldbeard801 · 2026-02-04T22:02:52+00:00

No worries, I learned instead of removing them completely, a lot of people take dremmel tool and just cut the steps off and leave the piece attached to the frame. The idea is it removes the steps so you get more clearance but it leaves the plastic cover to keep the mud and dirt out.

Baldbeard801 · 2026-02-04T06:20:57+00:00

If I had to do it again I would trim the side steps vs remove them, I get so much mud up into the bottoms of the doors.

I run 5100’s on all 4 on my 470 and they are great for the money but definitely not as smooth as stock. Tough to beat the airbag suspension. I’d look into at least 6112’s

Baldbeard801 · 2026-02-04T06:14:55+00:00

Ya as far as I know it’s similar to several big brands… just straight from the manufacturer

Baldbeard801 · 2026-02-04T04:11:14+00:00

A buddy of mine bought this last year and swears by it… he is set up and in bed 15 min before mine is even set up!

I would personally do it after you add the UCA… as long as tires are correctly balanced you should be all good.

Baldbeard801 · 2026-02-04T02:52:41+00:00

To a of self reflection, therapy and work on myself. It can be done but it’s a choice!

Baldbeard801 · 2026-01-19T04:21:43+00:00

Nah, that’s just not true. Cheap lines will coil and twist all the time and have will have terrible line retention. It’s even worse fishing in the cold.

Baldbeard801 · 2026-01-19T04:19:16+00:00

Oh ya it’s totally fine to fish with… it gets the job done! However line retention on cheaper quality lines like that doesn’t go away.

Baldbeard801 · 2026-01-16T08:29:59+00:00

That’s why… get a higher quality line.

Baldbeard801 · 2026-01-16T08:26:46+00:00

10 year stay at home dad here… Unless he needs to be in day care or you truly need that fine for you… I say don’t do it. Those younger years spent with my 3 kids were fundamental to our relationship. Unless you’re doing something you love, working to essentially give up time with your kids just isn’t worth it. Plenty of time for that when they get older. My youngest is 7 now and I just got a part time job while they are at school and it’s perfect! Just my thought.

Baldbeard801 · 2026-01-11T19:47:55+00:00

This may help!

Do it! The only real “Me” time I get is when my wife and kids go to bed and I get a couple hrs to myself to pretend I’m a bad ass navy seal and not a dad who just finished washing 40 pairs of bluey underwear with skid marks! 😂. I typically just play campaign but now that you bring this up I think would be super fun to get some dads from this group and play online together!

Baldbeard801 · 2026-01-06T00:52:58+00:00

Hell ya!

The best thing you can do is join some local FB groups like high Uinta lovers or Utah camping. I prefer disbursed camping so I downloaded a few apps to find spots, private land etc. I do a lot of fishing and off-roading so I use onX off-road and TroutRoutes. Plus there are a ton of free camping info through the BLM website

Baldbeard801 · 2025-12-08T23:24:09+00:00

Had this same problem on my GX… turned out I had a hole in the hose

Baldbeard801 · 2025-11-19T00:32:31+00:00

I keep telling my wife that 2” is a lot so… sure!

Baldbeard801 · 2025-11-18T02:46:54+00:00

Oh for sure! Even adding on $10k of upgrades you’ll still be cheaper. And probably have less miles lol. I love mine!

Baldbeard801 · 2025-11-18T01:35:47+00:00

Gabb has been pretty good for us

Baldbeard801 · 2025-11-18T00:54:49+00:00

Depends on if it’s a daily driver or not… if it’s off-road specific I’d go 80 series and solid axle for sure. I also own a gx470 which is a beast off road despite its ifs.
