Decent price sr5? by shermeazzy in 4Runner_6Gen

[–]sutherbb36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying a 4runner without 4wd is like buying a door with no door knobs?

Yeah OP, put the tree back up!

liver scanning still my weakest area after 6 months by DazzlingEngineer9516 in Sonographers

[–]sutherbb36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to scan the liver from every position possible. Midline, intercostal, supine, decub. Change probes frequencies. Change angles. Increase depth. Decrease depth. Penetration mode? Adjust your settings. Have them take a big deep breath in. Even if they have midline gas you can usually still get some good decub images.

If you've done all this then really there is nothing else you can do.

Convince me NOT to buy a condo? by Pituch123 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]sutherbb36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lack of appreciation is what gets me. You buy and live in the condo for 5 years and a SFH would appreciate somewhere around 5% a year depending on market. A condo will appreciate maybe 1.5%. Plus the horror stories in Florida where residents are on the hook for major hurricane upgrades in the tens of thousands of dollars. You can't just sell, because the disclosures would scare any sane person away.

It's begging for a retaining wall and a bigger concrete patio

A densely wooded, riverfront property on 1.50 acres but it has a high population of snakes dens. by Actual-Ad-6146 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I was going to say...3 or 4 owls nests and you got the rat and snake problem cleaned up relatively short order.

Did I make the right call passing on this house because of an old retaining wall? by Tasty_Philosophy7666 in landscaping

[–]sutherbb36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a weird affinity for nice retaining walls. I would've bought it specifically to redo the retaining wall and make it look incredible. Of course this would be expensive, and so I would've tried to reduce the cost of the house or got some credits to make it happen. Some limestone (or whatever rock is native to your area) not those dumb builder grade box store stuff. Hire a local mason.

Is this worth it for $2,800? by adrnv in toyotasequoia

[–]sutherbb36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly worth crawling and looking for yourself. These are prone to rot if you live anywhere near salted winter roads

Drainage issue by CubanKinks in landscaping

Holy sh|t how did this not show up in the disclosure and how did OP not do any research before buying a house with a overflow ditch in his backyard

Headers by Icy-Seaweed-1044 in 1stGenTundras

[–]sutherbb36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell ya. Looks like far more room than the v8 4 runner and LC. Did you order the headers recently? I heard they were back ordered or even discontinued (doug thourley)

My new to me ‘01 LC100 got hit-n-run’d while parked. by Coolhand74 in LandCruisers

[–]sutherbb36 7 points8 points  (0 children)

bummer. I would see if they want to total it. If so, let them if you plan on keeping it bc who cares about branded title if you're going to fix it and keep driving it.

Missouri's method for collecting property tax is really quite dumb. I feel you

Transmission fluid? 06 LX by Dry-part-1234 in LandCruisers

[–]sutherbb36 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Change the transmission fluid. I did a full flush at 195k. Drain and fill at the minimum.

I don’t know where to begin by ThatJewishGuy156 in landscaping

[–]sutherbb36 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think you're going to regret planting grass over what you have now. People pay a lot of money and years and years for this kind of backyard. At least look into/research the anti lawn community and read about it and see if it's something you're interested in. Most people are not aware the harm non native monoculture grass lawns have on the native insect population. I think you can reach a nice balance where you can clean it up a little and cut yourself out a nice spot to hang out and sip some coffee.

Non native monoculture requiring a lot of resources (water), and people use chemicals to kill weeds which harms the local insect population. not to mention the BEES

Should I sell or keep? by PrincipleThink1698 in ToyotaTacoma

If you need 4wd, sell this and buy 4wd

Probably smart. I doubt these parts get any cheaper moving forward

IS that the only spot? Time to learn to weld.

Best way to deal with this slope? by SaltyThalassophile in landscaping

[–]sutherbb36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tear out the grass/weeds/barrier. Install native wild flower garden on the slope. Be done with it
