E153 really doesn't like being spun high... its strong but the.... now I've read more messages lmao you covered it already

 

I have an R150f on the 2GR truck and an R154 in an Is300 and both shift better up around 7k than my E153, but not like a brand new sports car... MT90 cut with HWSP in the taco and LWSP in the E153 and R154

 

I'm gonna have one nice, shiny, freshly painted fender that meets up with an awful looking hood. Unless I just break down and get the whole thing sprayed. (Did roof when I first got it since it was in bad shape)
Good thing is I went the adhesive route for the pillar when I installed the snork so no holes there to deal with, just sticky gluey goo.

It might not be bad to have some cedar or juniper tree exposure. I grew up playing in the woods and making stuff out of cedar.

Though, I remember when I was in the 6th grade and the teacher put up a cedar tree. Then a few kids went into cedar fever. The tree had to be quickly replaced with an aluminum version.

 

That's good to know; all about that exposure. Least my dad was which is probably why I never get sick.

 

The 4runner makes a fun little low screech noise when I press the clutch in to shift at around 4k, and you can feel it in the pedal pretty good too. If I tried it at 5k I'd be afraid of it exploding lol. Never noticed that with the Tacoma but the clutches are probably different.

 

East coast humidity is the biggest thing I am NOT looking forward to. Lol summers in DC were bad enough growing up the underside of my almost Acup moobs would leave sweat lines on a t-shirt

 

woke up feeling like hell, more congested than I've felt in a long time. DayQuil pretty much helped with all but the congestion. Then got an email saying my daughter's group at school had a positive covid case, awesome

Two tests so far are negative so I dunno. Don't really trust these freakin things and at ~$20 a kit I'm not about to go out and buy several just to see

 

Did you get your freebies? They had offered them and they got sent to your home if you inquired.

 

Oh yeah quite awhile ago, we used them up fast with a toddler that's sick and spreading disease 6 months of the year lol.

I know you can get reimbursed for them too through most health insurance plans, might have to look into that. Someone is making bank off these damn things I tell you

 

Get ready to sweat through your clothes just walking to the mailbox. We'll be there very shortly.
Linen is your friend.

 

I don't know if I've ever experienced east coast humidity...only been a couple times and not during summer. But the midwest (Missouri) is fucking awful in the summer with that, I imagine its comparable

 

East Coast humidity is the worst.

Hell, even Midwest humidity fucking blows.

 

the mosquitoes, oh god the skeeters. We've been getting them really bad here though lately every summer/Fall. This year is probably going to be the worst with all the water we got

We get those little zebra stripe looking ones that carry Zika virus too, little bastards

 

It's certainly not fun...you get used to it to a degree but when you get a good streak of 90s with full humidity, it's just oppressive. I usually spend a little time further south as well, like in Savannah, and some days you just don't want to go out.
Real bummer is when it doesn't change at night. You think, ah, sunset, go out to eat or sit out and relax, but its a trick!

 

yeah it's not much better when it's an oppressively dry heat either, but I will agree the humidity just makes it worse.

When we get 110 - 115˚ days that only cool down to 95/98˚ at night, that sucks too. Thank sweet baby jesus for central air
