Alabama thread!

Looks like we're finally going to get some rain!

 

Little update, out in town right now. Long bus ride to get there first off. Traffic sucks worse than rush hr on 280 and in Atlanta at the same time. They don't care what you drive, if you don't let them over they will still come over. Horns everywhere, semi trucks with heavy equipment on them not even chained! Lol this place sucks and is great at the same time. Got a picture of a Toyota hilux just have to edit pic so I can post it. Oh it's also rained/flooded here past three days. There is a lot of stuff in. English and a lot of American cars as well. Seen plenty of chevys and couple mustangs. Ford is everywhere here from cars to box trucks. Um....not much grass:/ go figure. However wish I had my personal boots instead of my nice pair of shoes. Oh just passed a Best Buy but it wasn't electronics I think. Anyways, I should probably start a thread with my deployments. That'd be cool, what y'all think?

 

I got the Mt Shasta Extended Summit Series. I looked at all sorts of brands and such, but for the money difference and honestly reviews and as @dcoursler said Bobby is extremely helpful. I spoke to him a couple of times on the phone asking questions and whatnot and just his customer service sold me, worth the extra cost for that kind of business to me. Plus....20% off and a free trasharoo lol.

 

i will say after having owned other brands and now the CVT, The CVT tent that bobby is having made really are a superior product. I have been in the tough country one i have slept in a smittybilt and the mattress in the cvt is thicker.... There is one other tent company that is made in the same facility as the CVT but they only offer one line of their tents.

Where are you deployed buddy? I have done my fair share of deployments myself.... I spent 17 1/2 months in IRAQ my first deployment.. OIF 7 Thanks GW Bush for his surge

 

wish I could tell you man but just big ol sand box with rocks. This will be our last dirt deployment. Harriers are slowly fading so I def won't see IRAQ or AFGAN. Also I'm not here as long as you were in IRAQ which is nice. I'll for sure share pics when I get home though.

 

i hear ya... well good luck and stay safe brother

 

I appreciate any of you guys who have served. The idea has always been in my head about the potential for it, but I just don't believe I'm the person for that. I'll always support those that are though.

 

it is not for everyone and anyone who has served in combat has seen that...

 

Nothing but jingle trucks and Toyota Hilux over the pond.

 

We can agree to disagree. I think the tents CVT makes over seas are the same exact quality as all the others made at "123 RTT Lane, YinYang China". I heard he was trying to move production to the U.S. and I'm sure those will be of higher quality but to all the overseas stuff is all the same with different labels on it.

The exact same thing as these light bars being sold all over the place.

Now CVT does have great customer service so maybe that's worth the extra cost to you but I really wish I had been more knowledgeable about RTT's before I dropped the cash on a name brand tent.

Just my $.02 no offense meant to anyone with a name brand tent (myself included )

 

Totally understandable, and I agree. I wouldn't have bought CVT without the 20% off.

 

Thanks man you to!

Is this a hell of a deal, or am I missing something?

It looks like a good deal to me. it would only provide as much as stock travel though it seems.

 

$834 for front and rear remote resi is only a good deal? Don't the front coilovers usually go for $1500 by themselves?

 

The site is misleading. The $834 is only for the rears, go try to add them to the shopping cart.

 

That's what I was looking for, thanks.

 

Evening gents,

I posted here a while back. I'm going to be in Huntsville next week for work. Unfortunately, I'm pretty booked all week, but if anyone wants to grab some food and a few beers Sunday evening I'd be glad to meet up. If not, that's cool too.

Any recommendations for restaurants, bars, or anything else worth visiting while I'm there?

 

If you like wings, I highly suggest Crickets out in Madison. Conner's at Bridge Street has an awesome prime rib or filet. Sushi, I always head to I Love Sushi in Jones Valley. Can't meet on Sunday thou.
