Alabama thread!

Finally pulled the trigger. I asked a few weeks ago trying to decide on what to get but bought 19 trd sport manual yesterday to join my 98 Trd. Too good of a deal on it.

 

I'll take that 1st gen off of your hands if you're looking to get rid of it.

 

Cant do that man, the 98 is my baby. I traded in my 2000 chevy on the 19 though. My 98 will just be my weekend warrior.

 

Very understandable!

 

Sq'ed Up Welding & Fabrication - located in Carrollton, AL

$1150 including lights AND installation.

Thoughts?

 

Looks pretty bulky to me. Road armor like bulky. But that’s just my opinion.

Details on the build of the bumper?

 

Think it looks bulky because the winch compartment doesn't continue around the sides like most do. If it continued about another 6 inches or so it wouldn't look as bulky I think.

 

Awaiting specs from fabricator

 

Congrats Seth!!!

 

Got my carrier bearing drop installed. Hoping to adjust my front coilover lift tomorrow

 

It's salmon Sunday!




Even Lucky likes it!

 

Salmon, skin side down for 6 min on the grill, squash and zucchini for 3 min per side and it's done! I'll take some grill pics here in a sec...

 

My go to quick marinade for veggies is Italian dressing & soy sauce for about an hour before I grill. No other seasoning required.

 

and hot

 

I sprinkle some Zatarain's blackening seasoning on the veggies as I flip them on the grill.

 

Had a fun ride this weekend @Peligro @JKU3000 @Brian422! Jeannie is coming along with her video editing stuff!

 

Morning Alabama, it's quiet for a Monday morning...

 

Hang in there guys. The heat is almost over. One more week of this garbage. Get your motorcycles and camping gear ready. Cooler temps on the way.

From AlabamaWX

The mean temperature this month so far at Birmingham is 82.0 degrees… this will wind up as the second warmest September on record. The hottest was September 1925, when the mean was 84.2 degrees.

Our weather won’t change much this week as a very strong upper high remains right over us; look for partly to mostly sunny days, highs in the mid 90s, and only isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms.



Birmingham’s hottest October temperature is 94 degrees, recorded in 1919, 1927, 1941, and 1954. There is a very high chance we beat that tomorrow through Friday on multiple days, meaning we will see our hottest October days on record.

BUT, TO THE WEST: While we have the strong upper high and record heat, and west is dealing with a deep upper trough along with snow and record cold. The high temperature in downtown Portland yesterday was 49°… an all-time record earliest in the season that downtown highs failed to climb above the 40s in 145 years of record keeping there. Previous earliest was Oct 12, 1881.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The ridge finally begins to break down, and heat levels will come down Saturday and Sunday with highs in the 80s. Showers remain isolated Saturday, but Sunday will bring a better chance of rain statewide as moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is allowed to flow northward. Probably not a major rain event, but it will certainly help.

NEXT WEEK: Monday looks like a mostly cloudy with with showers possible; the high will be between 78 and 81. Then, for the rest of the week, highs will be around 80, with lows in the 57-62 degree range. Quite the change from this ongoing heat wave.

 

Think I’m about ready to open shop. Can at least to CMCs for folks in the bham area
