Alabama thread!

You. Just making sure you like ALL Tahoes

 

HAHA!!! I see what you mean.

 

Hes a guy that I go to school with. Great guy!

 

Yes, yes I do... I actually really like it haha

 

Well it was a good idea at first, but i ran into a few TSB's that had to be done. The intermediate steering shaft was defective, as well as the temperature door actuator-this is a $300 part that opens the door behind the dash, these repairs totaled right at $1000; all within the first 3 months i had the vehicle-they ended up refunding me the money i spent, caused i bitched until i got it right. Idk, i just had a lot of problems w it.
The paint also seemed kind of thin-took a lot of maintenance-toyota has the best paint in the business, imho

 

There are a lot of people on this board who will disagree w/ your opinion of the paint. Look around a bit and you'll find plenty of folks bitching about chips in their paint.

FWIW, mine's held up fine. But still...

 

So what about an Alabamian living in South Carolina? Which "alliance" do I belong too LOL?

 

Hmm.. the Tahoes I'm around all the time have NOTHING wrong with them..

 

Well maybe it was operator error lol....
I'm just saying that its glad to be back...after I bought this 2nd Taco, it just felt like home, thats all
BTW....seeing that the weather may cooperate this w/e, i plan to finish installing the DNX5120 that came out of the tahoe, changing out the speakers for Polk 6.5", and installing the Recon LOF; as far as mods go, I'm going deep this time, but it will take a while to get there. I have my punch-list and hope to have a lot done by spring...

 

Well I'm considering getting a Jeep now, instead of the Tacoma. Unless I can find a way to keep the Taco as my DD and drive the jeep ocasionally.

 

if you're thinkin about goin with a rubi, i'd say do it (as long as you dont mind more maint and no bed)

if you're thinkin anything other than a rubi, dont.

 

Well I hardly use the bed anyways, and yea if I can find a deal on one I probably will, but after a little conversation with my step-dad, he's gonna continue to look and hopefully we can find either a TJ or JK that's been wrecked and the owner doesn't want to fix up and will sell cheaper so, we can build it up! But I do believe at this moment I'll be keeping the Tacoma.

 

i drove my friends dad rubi the other day. and man it was so cramped in there. no room for your arm to rest. im used to a tacoma/4runner room. so the jeep was a tab bit cramped

 

Well I have been a member for a while just haven't posted much. I've been itching bad to hit some trails. I have been in Auburn for over a year but I am making it offical on 2-26 when I close on a new house.
Once that goes down work can resume on the Tacoma.

Anywhere to ride in the plains? Had great trails in Shelby County when I was there.

Mainly saying hello while I figure this site out.

 

Hey holden! Umm I'm from Montgomery, we can usually find places.. you can ask Lentsnh he's from the plains too! If you ever need help with anything on your Taco, just let either me or Lents know and usually we can help ya.


Btw if you're gonna be around Saturday my friends are goin out and riding around some trails/ making a mini mud pit.. Btw I might be up in Auburn this weekend..

 

Thanks. Well the wife and I are pack up our house in Alabaster over the next 3 weekends. Been living out of a box for the past year waiting on my house to sell.

I could always use an extra hand. I'll be fabing a skid plate and some rock sliders next month when I get settled in. Can't wait to get all of my tools in one place!

 

AHOY there! We can hit up some trails in beaurguard!!

 

We oughta all go hit em up one weekend then Lents how's that sound? haha Oh btw like I said I might be in Auburn this weekend.

 

if I'm not still sick........

 

Ah yes Beaureguard. i've been around there a time or two. A few guys around the Fire Department mentioned the National Forst just outside of Tuskegee. Know anything about that?
