Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

1. Unfortunately I don't know of many, if any, 4x4 shops around the near area that I can personally call reputable. I trust Alabama Wholesale Tire Pros in Scottsboro with everything on my truck. They do install lifts and pretty much anything else, but I actually had a good friend of mine do my lift for me over a weekend when I was out of town. As far as cutting fenders, I can't speak for him really, but I have my doubts on Alabama Wholesale Tire Pros doing something like that. Again tho, thats just my opinion. About the bumpers, again not speaking for anyone but myself, but that kind of stuff is fun for me to do. Anytime I have major work on my truck I have an "Install Party" with pretty much anyone that wants to have a good time and actually help me with the job. Amazing what kind of "quality work" can get done with a few friends and a reasonable amount of "cold beverages" haha! I actually am planning an install party after Christmas to install my new head unit, door speakers, subs, and amp. (any and all invited, lol)

2. I am all up for riding and camping whenever. I just need to know a little bit in advance so I can plan ahead. If there is a ride this weekend I won't be making this one. Still gotta trim my fenders a little more to get rid of any and all scrubbing. Plus, tearing down my front end to tighten some bolts on my front fenders along with installing my new clear headlights.

 

Those willing to drive down to my shop are welcome to get some work done here. Just sayin....lol.

Has anyone checked the upcoming weather for this weekend? Not sure when that big cold front will be coming through. Dallas was in the 70s yesterday, and expected to hit the 20s today. Ice storm coming in from the west, so it eventually will reach us at some point.

 

looking at rain and temps around 60 all day sunday be cold that morning and rainy

 

Cool. Rain means slippery trails, so more of a challenge. Still not 100% sure I can make it. I remember originally it was talked about being on Saturday. I didn't know it was moved to Sunday, which I can usually make. I will let you all know by Saturday. Where is the meeting place? At Stoney itself, or at the hwy 69 exit?

 

dont need rain to make it challenging up there. its got tough enough trails as is. just got venture off the main path a little further. and stay in a small group.

dont think we have "meeting places" anymore when we go to stoney since it is pretty dern easy to find.

i know originally it was scheduled for saturday but then folks complained about it being on saturday and not being anble to make it so it was moved to sunday. but like i mentioned earlier do you guys know if they are even open?

 

Just got off the phone with them. They are open this weekend. Only change is that with the daylight savings time, they close at 5PM.

 

Good deal, it is yet to be decided if I will be able to make it. Depends how much work I can get done on studying for finals and finishing my senior project before sunday. Not only that but also whether or not the wifey is gonna be out of town or in town.

 

So who all is going? I am reading back and see Brian, but who else?

 

think without dave me or you it may be ol' white shoes and Floor.... and that is it.

 

I thought Brian was setting this one up. Haven't heard anything else about it either

 

that is because it was somewhat of a quiet meet up, especially since there havent been any commits other than you Floor.

 

Oh, well. I haven't heard anything yet... Lol

 

Brian doing his 10 mile lock in on his transfer case has never been a quiet meet up.

 

lot more quiet than you think.... there have been several you dont know about

 

Anybody got some kc lights they wanna sell for my bull bar?

 

I checked a while back that they would be open.

I have mentioned at least twice after the original saturday date was proposed that it was changed to Sunday. The more the merrier. I don't plan to ride alone. Needed Justin to pull me out 3 times last trip.

So far that I have seen, only Me, Justin, Mat and Bill are in consideration. I can't remember if Dave was or not.

 

Dave had to cancel, he said he is taking his son to the zoo.

so the definite's are:
Ol' White Shoes
Floor

maybes:
Bob
OtherJim/Justin

 

where are yall going?

 

Stoney Lonesome at the moment.

 

Ta hell if we don't start changing our ways.
