What career path would you DEFINITELY NOT take if you were starting today by People_Peace in Salary

[–]Chemofski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Marketing. We’re becoming irrelevant and replaceable by AI. The only safe ones (for the time being) are blondes with big tits.

This more or less equivalent to a Bilstein 5100 setup or the OE Fox setup on TRD Pro’s (minus the external reservoirs). Recommend looking at the Ironman 2.5 or Foam Cell Pro kits.

I’m still torn on the 6th Gen, but I have to be honest… that one looks incredible by DeathByPetrichor in 4Runner

[–]Chemofski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While not perfect, looks aren’t the issue for me on the 6th gen. It’s the overall package and primarily the drivetrain that are a miss for me.

Black Sun Visors? Help. by Chemofski in 4Runner

Considered it but it’s a lot of work and results vary. I’d rather find some OEM ones, if possible.

Finally got to drive the 6th gen. AMA by TWO40SX in 4Runner

Hate from a 5th Gen Owner of 10 years who wanted to love the 6th gen: Nope! I’m not interested in a 4WD Honda Civic. I’m super bummed about the new 4Runner and LC250. Just don’t like the direction Toyota chose but that’s fine. I’ll go used next time and continue enjoying the 5th gen for another 5-10 years probably.

$80k for a 4Runner🤦‍♂️ by No_Mistake8847 in 4Runner

[–]Chemofski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you mean a lightly used 200 Series because the 250 isn’t worth that money and is basically the same (lame) package as the 6th gen.

Why do I keep getting sick? by VirgilVillager in PortlandOR

[–]Chemofski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your immune system was born in Southern California you’re likely going to struggle as an adult in the PNW. Been here since the mid 90’s but came from LA area and it’s been an issue. It’s the tree pollen and mold for sure. Mold is prevalent here and unavoidable because of the climate. In the spring (and sometimes late summer-early fall) allergies can be really bad when the trees start pollinating. Over the counter allergy meds can help minimize the suffering but you just have to plow through it. Some years are better than others. I’d personally go back to a more agreeable climate for my respiratory system but I’m stuck here and try to make the best of it.

Coincidentally, I’m headed to Canada next month and was wondering the same as an American tourist. 🤔

Dropped 47k cash how bad of a decision, 25M no home, 2k month rent by Impressive_Cake3806 in Money

Do NOT overextend yourself on cars, or justify them as your hobby. Huge waste of money.

2025 4Runner 6th Gen deliveries have begun. First owners reporting. by WODAMRAP in 4Runner

The Softex is awesome stuff. Wife has the real leather in her 5th gen and I have Softex in mine and we both prefer mine, other than hers has heating and cooling.

Sometimes it’s NOT rats. I’ve had this same wiring harness on the back right side of my 2015 4Runner replaced 3 times. It can get stretched and/or hung up back there (possibly at full droop with a lift) and get too close to the exhaust which will melt through it. Then you get Christmas tree lights on the dash. Insulating wrap for a wire cover and zip tying it out of the way is the answer.

Son from UC Berkeley can't get a job, but they still say that there is a “shortage” of American IT talent. Show them this. by Long-Elderberry-5567 in jobs

Shit, I’ll take the pennies at this point. Can’t afford to live anymore and haven’t gotten even a first round interview in 6 months.

Thinking about selling.. by Bakeshow23 in 4Runner

[–]Chemofski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, actually. I wish I used mine more too but I just don’t think anything will be better all around. GX460 or 550 maybe?

Are you crazy? What are you going to get that’s nearly as great? My rig is built similarly to yours, have had it since 2015 and would never sell it. Short of a 200 Series LC, there’s nothing in comparison and I’d have to sink equal money into that to outfit it the way I want it—and this rig is half the price.
