I would imagine so, that looks about right for Houston, TX. Texas probably has some of the lower fuel prices in the US.
It’s gone up $1.50 a gallon in the last to weeks
It $5.50 to $ 6:50 in Calif. now

Here is Arizona it is about $1.60 more per gallon.
Couldn't resist, im a FB whore!
When I swapped the motor, I took out a CSF radiator of unknown age and replaced it with a new OEM from the Toyota dealer. That new Denso started leaking around the bottom crimp after about 500 miles. It happens. The dealer stood behind it and gave me another one which I installed and hope to get more life out of.So you replaced the radiator with an OEM unit and it failed after 600 miles? Or you replaced the OEM radiator with something different and then that one failed after 600 miles? huh?
Is the top of the OEM radiator plastic?
The OEM radiator is aluminum and the tanks are plastic (top and bottom). Koyo, Denso and TYC make copies that use the same basic design. My old radiator was a CSF all-brass unit, but I chose the aluminum for better cooling. If this one fails, I will go back to a CSF or cough up serious money for an all aluminum rad.
Not all OEM rad are plastic. The OEM 93-94 were all brass and can still be purchased. PN# 16400 – 66081. I have this on both of my 93 and my 97 from EMEU.
CSF Radiators is the only manufacturer that still produces all-metal radiators....

I have over 10 years of service on a CSF radiator with out issues.
My white 96 LX450 i installed TYC and noticed it ran hotter (im sure uts fine but it bothered me). Replaced it with Denso and it was cooler by 4 degrees.I have over 10 years of service on a CSF radiator with out issues.
Just curious is Ron Davis worth the $$ and hype? Maybe my next upgrade

To avoid major trimming i consciously searched for he lightest and smallest measured 37s.
My Yokohama MT 315s on stock wheels were 69lbs measures 34.8" 10ply
My new Mickey Legends 37sx12.5x17 are 70lbs and 36.4". 8ply
I gave up rated E 10ply for similar weight. Stopping and exceleration are similar but less noise. Feels (to me) more rotational rather than less resistance maybe its AT instead of MT.
Overall happy with purchase but need more road/highway miles. This tire checked my boxes and no rubbing since its not a true 37s snd I have the delta 3L with 3.25" fronts and 4" rears. I have gained 2" additional clearance from the 37s.

Oh man, that looks awesome, but my wallet didnt enjoying hearing that.
Im also on Delta 3L and I have Dobinsons 3.5" on the way.
Currently on 315s, but maybe I should do the jump to 37s
Looks perfect
Fills in nicely but I'm sure it will rub at full droop.
Brothers from other mothers met for the first time at the beach house. And of course, the 80 series universe must be in balance, so the 91 developed a shudder at low speed and started spitting coolant (I think from transmission cooler lines) when I pulled it out of the garage. First time I had driven it in a few weeks. Had not leaked anything while parked and was fine the whole time i was using it in Houston for the past couple months.). Ironically I was just mentioning to a friend yesterday how that truck has been almost perfect since I baselined it a couple years ago. Didn’t have time to do anything more than pull it back into garage and get some pics. Had to run back to Houston. (And yes I know there is oil everywhere. It is a magic protective coating made of dinosaur blood that keeps the rust away.)
I installed these too with the same impressive results. The sunroof screams open/shut too. But, it got me thinking; will this newfound speed result in faster wear n tear on these old parts window operator mechanical parts?
