Hey everyone. I just registred today and wanted to introduce myself. My names Courtney, and I'm 23 years old living in Long Beach, CA. I bought my first truck (an X-runner) 10/17/2007 Its a metalic blue 2008. I'm very very excited about it, and absolutly love it! I'm a bit nervious about upgrading it at this point just because I don't want to void any warrentiy, but its probably because its new. If anyone has an idea of where to start I would love some suggestions. I would be more intrested in speed than looks, altough looks are still important. I look forward to speaking with all of you! I have no pics as of yet, but I do plan on getting some as soon as I have time.

Welcome to XR-U!

First thing you'd want to get would be a short shifter kit so the throw when shifting gears isn't as long.

If you're overly worried about warranty, TRD makes one so you wont have to worry about it.

Here's a link: http://www.trdparts4u.com/PD-PTR04-35051.aspx?MakeID=1

I'm sure there's plenty of guys in Cali that would help you install it if needed.

wolcome to XR-U...

i say wait til you come to a meet so you can check out everyone's trucks then decide what you wanna do with yours. Most of the members on ehre have a short throw shifter, makes it less like driving a school bus or rowing a boat while driving.

www.urausa.com has the short shifter kit and it is very affordable. and takes all of 30 minutes to install.

Welcome to the addiction that is XRU. You will quickly find out that you spend more time here than any other site on the net. Well at least I do, and I'm sure most of the others will admit it too. It's worse than a crack habit. Anyway, welcome to the site. There are no dumb questions here, so don't be afraid to ask. Just an FYI, if you were more interested in speed you should have bought a (BSP) black sand pearl, everyone knows they're faster!! :rock:

Hate to burst your bubble fellas, but there are a lot of guys named Courtney too. Would be nice to have some more females represented here at XRU though --- I think this would formally make the third or fourth one out of 1,000. :biggrin:

But anyway, welcome to XRU Courtney and congratulations on your new truck! We promote a flame-free/bash-free environment here at XRU so feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Everyone here is extremely helpful and has a lot of knowledge about these trucks.

If you ask me the first mod to do, I would say the URD or TRD Short Shifter. Relatively inexpensive and makes a big difference day-to-day. :top:

Welcome to XR-U. You will be addicted soon, if not already. This is a very welcoming site and there is so much info on here and everyone is willing to help. The best thing you can do is go to a meet, you will learn so much from it....and don't worry SWB (SPEEDWAY BLUE) is the fastest! :driver:
