Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

you know im ready to go..... cant tell you exact dates right now for very far out because of my wifes work schedule but i know i could swing feb 23 or march 9 or 16 to begin with.

i also have quite a bit of stuff i still need to get on the truck and am antsy to get it on the truck and then go ride, but i dont HAVE to get it installed first. I just need a nice wheelin trip to relax and de-stress on.

 

I just ordered a addicted winch bumper (custom build to fit my lift and 20" light bar mounts), recon 10,500lb waterproof winch w/ synthetic line and wireless remote, sliders, alcan 2" leafs, 1" greasable shackle with new bushing set, and bilstein remote resi shocks for the rear.


Hi lift, snatch strap, shovel, snatch block, tree strap, belly skids, and a custom tool box coming in the near future.

 

wow...... well we know who HAD all the monies... impressive shopping list. wish i could have one like that.

 

No kidding!

 

Had was a good word to capitalize lol

I'm just doing my part to stimulate the economy.

 

how about helping the needy!!!!!

 

Awesome! Sounds like busy time again. Your vehicle lift awaits!
Did you go ahead and get the bumper that will require removal of the body lift?

He IS helping the needy. He brings his truck to me because I need the money....lmao.

 

I was pretty set on removing the body lift, but after much more research, I've decided to keep it. I've had body lifts in the past with no problems, but assumed the Tacoma trucks had weak metal floors with the way people around here talk about them. After researching other sites like IH8MUD, and TTORA, many if them run body lifts, without any problems. It's only bad if you are into ramping your truck. I prefer all four wheels on the ground (or at least some part of the truck on the ground), at all times.


And x2 on the second statement. My truck, and bill, are both helping the needy. But, I guess I'm needy for my never ending nagging to bill about the next project, too.

 

When is this ride we are going on?

 

Second Tuesday of the 6th week in March.....

 

Possible stony trip this weekend.

 

SH#T PAUL!!!!! you seem to always pick the weekends my wife works and i cant attend! do you do snooping behind my back so you can do it on purpose??? is this to just make sure my truck, your jeep and a tow strap are never introduced? you know its not fair if you rig the bet by only going riding when i cant go too....

 

I'll go whenever you can too. And lets be honest, the only reason i'll ever need to get towed is cause it'll probably break down, not get stuck.

 

doesnt matter still towed.... ill get my wins any way i can, even if i have to slip someone a $20 to "help"

 

and most likely when it "breaks down" you won't be able to get to where its at anyways!

sick burn.

 

the parking lot of mc donalds??????? just cuz i dont eat their food doesnt mean i wont go there to help ya out...... burn turned around!!

 

You wouldn't have towed me in that case anyways. I made it there myself.

 

gotta get home when you pick up that big mac.......

 

I parked it on the back of a moving vehicle. Was not dragged by rope.

 

crap....... didnt remember the hyundai's amazing tow rating........ i always forget about that ace in the hole!!!!
