Alabama thread!

I'm fucking stoked. Hardwired came on Sirius this morning, even more hyped.

 

I want to watch Metallica play everything before the black album. Back then, they were awesome.

 

Hey everyone, quick question.

I'm going to be moving back to southwest Alabama (Clarke County to be exact) in the next couple weeks after I finish my checkout process with the Marine Corps. From there, I'll be going to Kuwait for a contractor job for a little while. While I am over there, I plan on getting the funds together to swap 4.88 gears into my truck. Is there any good shops in the southwest region that does this kind of work that someone could recommend? If not, where would you recommend me taking it to get it done?

 

I have no idea, so

 

Only place I really know of that I would trust is up in Tennessee.

 

for gears I hear everybody on the East coast goes to ECGS right?

 

Those guys are in North Carolina. Once I drive away from this area, I don't plan on coming back LOL

 

Thank you for your service! Maybe Mobile has a shop or two? Isn't there somebody in Mobile that post in here? All you northern guys flood this thread
I'll ask a buddy that lives in Silverhill. Maybe he knows of somewhere.

 

That's quite a bit of a drive for me LOL

 

I appreciate it man. I did a quick google search, and all I saw was basic suspension and wheel/tire shops for GM, Ford, and Ram. Down here is 3/4 ton country, so it doesn't surprise me that not much is coming up.

 

There's got to be somewhere down that way.

 

I don't mind driving a reasonable distance either. Only problem is that when you break in gears, the first 500 miles needs to be in short, easy intervals. Get too far away and it becomes a PITA to try to get back home once the gear swap is done.

 

Yeah I know, surely there is a shop down south that could do it.

 

understandable. when it comes to gears in my truck though, a reputation like theirs may be worth a drive and then take time breaking in on the way back.

 

I'm sure there's plenty that could "do it" but I don't want to have to revisit them when the rear end locks up on me because they screwed up LOL

 

Steve's Off-Road and Truckin Up are really the only two places in mobile that would do something like that.

But that's only if you want shitty service (Steve's) or agree to let them put rockstars and a 8" body lift on as well (Truckin Up).

 

For those on the fence about shocks and lifts right now. I am hosting a group buy for ICON!!

That's what I've heard as well.

 

I'd be all over that if you were doing kings, or Fox.

 

Jeez, really? Back to researching lift kits. Uhg.
