Welcome to Yotatech, please clarify your message like year of your rig and rip off your rig? Do you mean mods?

Congrats on your new truck and welcome to the forum.

You should rip off the wheels and drive around on the rotors. It would be the ultimate low rider.

Welcome. I'd put on manual hubs if it has ADD or auto hubs.

I just wanted to say from one ex-EQ player to another that I laughed really hard when I read your nick.

FYI, his profile says "90' Sky Blue Stock 4runner".

I've gotten too used to reading the sigs for rig info as well.. I keep forgetting to look at people's profiles!

hehe thanks yah, yah 3 and a half years of me life, only got me a 61 warrior 8) but its all good was fun times, anyways heres some info on my rig, i dont really know anything about cars, but ill do my best 8)

1990 4runner, SR5
Sky Blue 8/
4dr
Manual 5spd, 3.0L
Sunroof yay 8)
4wd of course 8) gotta have that
something like auto disconecting differential, i got no idea what that means, or what the differential does, but its automatic so im guessing less work for me 8P

Im not really sure what else, when i got it the rear speakers didnt work, we had to run some wire to fix that, and it came with a 94' 4runner manual for some od reason 8) i know i have a power steering pump prob, somethins leaking, so i think imma gonna go whipe everything down, see if i can figure out where all the stuffs coming out, then put some duct tape on it 8) thatll work /nod pep boys will prob try and charge me $100 and im poor 8) anyways thanks for all the replies this is awesome 8) har har! damn eq still has some hold on my brain

This is a pretty good site for getting into stuff:

http://www.autoshop101.com/


Past that, check out the Tech section here on this forum:

https://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech/techpage.htm


And past that... start browsing through the various posts here. Osmosis trhough immersion is sometimes the best way to soak stuff up.


Welcome!

Hey, and welcome! Good to have another body from the Sacramento area. (There are a few of us tucked away here and there.)

I didn't know a darn thing about my runner when I arrived at yotatech. After a few moons of just hanging around, I know what all that stuff you mentioned is!

Pretty much all the topics about this mod and that cycle pretty frequently, so you'll see just about every darn fool crazy thing anyone might want to do within a few weeks.

Yeah... EQ is bad... never do computer games again... This is coming from someone who got screwed up playing that game for a year and a half. The next year I was at boarding school... Do something real! Hmmm... why don't you just put those new synthetic polymer textile fibers all over your 4Runner and make it invisible? Hehe, only the military has them now, but mabe in a few years!
