Alabama thread!

What type of engineering? Materials by any chance? I know a couple professors.

 

I'm signed for general, but narrowing it down to Biomedical. It'd be crazy to be able to design medical equipment that can possibly save lives

 

It depends on what you want to spend. Lol. Most of the guys here are running billies or OME. IDo what to choose for my set up because I drive a 4Runner and I don't want OME. I already have billies with a leveling kit from the PO

 

I'm running the ToyTec 3" kit (eibach 2.5" coils + 0.5" spacers +Bilstein 5100's, AAL in the back) loving it so far.

regardless of your lift route, armor is always a good idea. I wouldn't wheel without it. You crunch something once and its more expensive to repair than the armor would have been to begin with.

BTW, mechanical engineer here! You've got quite the road ahead of you!

 

Another mechanical engineer here as well, good luck!

 

I'll keep an eye out. I'm from pinson and regularly go through there and trussville.

Welcome.

 

Can anyone recommend a good shop to get my windows tinted in Birmingham or close by?

 

heck yeah man.

my reg cab did just fine in the flatlands of South Alabama but all these dang hills are pissin me off in the 4banger.

 

Hi all! I just got a 15 double cab prerunner...I'm near Mobile. Just wanted to drop by and say hello

 

Just ordered my billies with ome 885s and deaver aal. Gunna get it all installed next weekend. Headstrong is awsome to deal with for anyone looking to buy. Once i get all this installed im gunna want to test it out. Anybody for the birmingham/tuscaloosa area that wants to get together for a trip up to stoney lonesome hit me up. Or if you know a better place.

Putting it up here to try and sell without shipping it.

Did you put on an ARB? If so pics please!

 

Hello Alabama, just found out its official, I'll be moving to the auburn area this summer. So I've got a few questions if anyone can help out from the area, anyone in/near aurburn?

What is the job market like? I'm currently fabricating/welding but I've been thinking about changing it up so I'm pretty open. It seems most of the jobs in the area are service related?

Anyone have any suggestions on areas to live/not live?

I'm sure I'll have more questions as it gets closer. But thanks for any help!

 

Oh yeah the important stuff, any offroading in the area?

 

Welcome! It's pretty much a college town with industrial parks. People are always hiring good help. I'm a maintenance technician on 3rd shift. I specialized in electronics and PLC programming so it helped me get a job faster.
As for living, 90% of Auburn is really nice just depends if you want to be around college kids or not.

 

Went with a Relentless aluminum bumper (16 months). Install is HERE.

 

There used to be a mediocre park just down the road but it went under. Unfortunately all the good wheeling is in mid to north alabama.

Curious, did you get transferred to Auburn? If so, what company?

 

Wife is from Auburn and in-laws still live there, its a nice town. Industry wise I think most options are going to be out towards Opelika/Phenix City/Columbus. Include those cities in your search, all are commutable from Auburn.
