New Member Saying Hi

I've been browsing this forum for a few months and love all the info. Figured it's about time I joined up. My name is Rich and I live in Centreville, VA. I have a 2006 T4R SR5 4WD. It's my third SUV but first I've tinkered with (2002 Pathfinder 4WD and 2006 Xterra 2WD previously). I have a decent amount of experience with cars - Subaru 2.5RS, WRX, and STi, Mazda RX7, BMW 330i, and Aston Martin V8 Vantage, plus helping out with plenty of 240SXs, but SUVs are a whole new ballgame for me... mods make them taller and heavier, as opposed to lower and lighter like I'm used to so I'm completely baffled lol.

The previous owner did a few nice things before I got it:
Leather seat covers
Rear-view camera
Tasteful sound system (at least the head unit, and the speakers keep up nicely, so I'm guessing they're aftermarket)

I've done:
XenonPro HID conversion (*horrible company to deal with* but eventually the product worked well thanks in no small part to me figuring out their bs)
aFe dry flow air filter
Removed intake HCF
The Home Depot Special oil catch can (I put it in to see if it would get anything, and it definitely does, so I'll be putting in a proper one when I get to it)
Added two lighter sockets to the console opposite the 4WD selector

Waiting to be installed:
All Pro 1.25" wheel spacers
ET lug nuts (all four corners)
Seat warmers (waiting to install until I decide which seat ventilation system to go with)
Also planning to do my transmission fluid, spark plugs, and brakes at some point soon, since I have no idea how many miles they've been through.

Long-terms goals aren't anything crazy... A mild lift, some bigger better tires with bolder nacho cheesier flavor with all the crunchy goodness I can handle without any rubbing issues, and some odds and ends that I really don't need but want because why not like a dual-battery setup and some extra lights and stuff.

Anyway, love the forum and all the info, hope I can contribute at some point!
