hello.  im new to all of this four wheeling stuff.  i told my fiance i wanted to get my own truck and learn how to work on it and all that.  we are looking at trucks and all that.  i like the 1980 toyota trucks and the first style fourrunners they made.  i would really like a 1972 toyota landcruiser because thats what my fiance had when we were first together and thats what got me liking this kinda stuff.  i used to hate that thing.  he was always workin on it or doin something and i couldnt stand it, plus it looked ugly.  but once he got it where he could drive it, it kind of grew on me.  anyways, im trying to learn about trucks and wheeling so i will be frequenting this place quite often.  and im going to be straight up about this- i dont know ANYTHING about cars or trucks, let alone wheeling.  so with that said, if i ask some stupid questions or get stuff wrong or seem like a nuisance, im sorry.  just wanted to say that right now lol.

yea i know what you mean.  but i dont know anything!  im gonna ask some things where you guys are like wtf lol. like i remember before i met my fiance i didnt know anything.  i asked what a muffler was when he was building his exhaust.  another time i asked him why do engines use gear oil.  i thought the transmission was part of the engine.  but hey, long as yall dont mind, i will eventually be knowledgeable about vehicles wheeling and all this

Believe it or not we all started out where you are now. I think it is great that you two have something like wheeling to enjoy together. Don't know where you are located but my brother is selling his 1982 truck in Oregon.
