Alabama thread!

Welcome man. The Slab is about 5 miles from me, and is usually open. It's part of the Alabama federal wildlife reserve.

Look up my username on youtube, if you want to see the video's I've posted from our runs there.

 

I believe you're thinking of The Bowl, and the land was sold to a company who is farming the ground gas there.

 

What part of of central AL are you in?

 

I will definitely check out the videos. U know of any trails around this area? Maybe some with camping? Also has anyone been to the skyway motorway in Talladega?

 

Montevallo, literally 1 mile from the sign that says "exact latitude/longitude center of Alabama" lol


It's in a graveyard by the way.

 

We have done Skyway, and it's mostly a gravel road. Has some nice scenery, and a few ruts from what I hear if you're looking to test out the 4WD.

All in all, pretty safe run.


Keep an eye on this thread. We do meets and Offroad trips randomly.

 

Awesome man, I always laugh when I pass this sign that says Montevello is a sister city to a city in Japan

 

Ok, thanks for the good info!

 

I will definitely be watching this thread.

 

I need to get diff fluid? Waiting on the new brake lines later this week and I will have everything except my Kings!!

 

Any good fishing at the slab?

 

Oh and welcome @Bama1970 glad to have you join our thread!

 

Thank you. Happy to be here!

 

I've been riding up there few times, never fishing though.

 

Yeah get some diff fluid, you will loose some while changing out the bushing. Its better to go ahead a flush out and completely change it out, especially since you have little more mileage.

 

It passes through the Cahaba river a couple times, never tried fishing there though.

 

Anybody good at retrofitting headlights? want something simple kinda like this.

 

Got my eye on a set of retrofits also, but so expensive.

 

I know what i can and can't do and building my own retros is beyond me. To many things I could mess up, and don't want to waste all that money if i do. Buying them already done is stupid expensive. Building something simple wouldn't be too bad.

 

This is true, but I also don't have the guts to go for it.
