New guy from North West Arkansas

Just wanted to jump on here and introduce myself. I will be on here bugging a lot of you guys now that I have my 4runner. I just got it about 1 month ago and it is my first one. I am a complete "know nothing" when it comes to cars. I always believe you get your hunting smarts and car knowledge from your dad growing up. My dad knew nothing about cars so I don't either. I am looking to change that on my end. The pic of my 4runner is a bad pic but it was the only one I had when I signed up on here. It is a 2000 Limited and has no modifications currently. I won't go into everything here that I would like to do but just wanted to give every one a heads up.... I have a lot of questions!

Welcome! Just a little tip before firing off a bunch of questions, Do a search on the subject first to see what information has been archived. There are some really smart people on here that are more than willing to help. You can also get blown up by some of the smart asses on here as well that will tell you to go "search" yourself!!! :lol: Just wanted to help out a fellow Arkie!!!
 
Yeah I figured that out pretty quick, its almost as bad as being on hogville. (not really, nothing is as bad as some of those guys over there). I actually had a ton of questions but have been spending a lot of time on here and yotatech and a few other places in the last few days and have pretty much answered most of them. (note: I know some other forums hate or do not allow you to mention other forums so if this is a rule I appologize.) I need to do some minor repairs on it before I start upgrading. Some of the dash lights are out (thanks to this thread I have ordered the right ones and know how to change them). My antenna does not work as well. It does not come up at all. Which I am thinking about switching to the tacoma antenna and by pass the motor all together. I dont think it works at all. When I turn the radio on I never even hear the antenna motor engage. But again, thanks to this place I know what to do. It also came with an awful after market cd player in it. Horrible sound, they put the original radio in the back when I bought it. I may put it back in and throw the other one in the trash. I would like to make the 12v plugs work all the time. My old truck I left my phone in there a lot to charge, obviously cant do that now. Other than that I am not really looking into turning this thing into a monster trail rig. It is my only form of transportation. I am looking into getting some new tires. My buddy has the BFG all terrain T/A KO on his land cruiser and he loves them so I will probably go with those. I also do a lot of camping and pack a ton of gear, I love the way the yakima loadwarrior looks so will probably get that. And then something on the front, dont know about an all new bumber or just a guard but something. That will probably be about it. I love venturing into the woods on weekends but not looking to get to crazy. Im more of a self admitted weekend warrior. But hey, I got a young family that takes up the vast majority of my time and priorities. I do love going out there and getting dirty though. I need to find someone that wouldnt mind dragging me along to get into a little fun and then let me park my rig and hop in during the crazy stuff. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated... and sorry about the long a** post.
