Alabama thread!

I like what this guy did for this process

 

Gotcha. I put my foot in my mouth...

 

So sent my locker off yesterday and solving my other issue today. Picking up some old man emu el96r off FB market for 250 bucks! Only apparently have 15k on them. Anyone got bushings or Ubolts?

 

dang! That’s a good find! I would have bought those too

 

Yeah, there was nothing universal about the bumper and mount for his runner. The previous owner had actually cut off all stock mounting locations so there wasn't much choice. We welded a 1x3x.120 tube to the front that spanned both frame ends and drilled 4 through holes for 1/2" hardware and mounted the bumper that way. Its much stronger than anything from the factory.

 

mine squeaking a little extra with this cold air coming in, that's same thing i've got.

 

Yea man i was on my way to work and cough cough opend up fb market while pulling into jacks parking lot and boom there they were . Posted like 30 min before i saw them.

 

sounds beefy. I honestly think the 1/4” plates People are using are way overkill on the 1st gen.

 

Awesome. I have a set of u bolts from Dakar’s that were on my truck for less than 1k miles. Technically not supposed to reuse u-bolts, but they were only torqued to spec once.

 

Probably. But overkill is never necessary until it is. I'd be fine 1/4" but probably do 3/16" since that's what I readily build from. I'll probably reinforce them when I rebuild my front bumper. I plan to build that bumper with overkill in mind.

 

From AlabamaWX

ON THE MAPS: A strong cold front this morning stretches from near Milwaukee to Little Rock to Houston… it will move into Alabama tonight, but we will have one more day with highs in the 80s before it arrives. The daytime hours will be dry, but we will mention a chance of showers tonight as the front arrives. Moisture will be limited, and the main dynamic support is far north of Alabama, so rain amounts should be light and spotty. No risk of severe storms, and probably no thunder.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The coolest air so far this season will creep into the northern half of the state tomorrow; the high will be only in the 60s, and some spots could hold in the 50s all day where clouds linger. A few isolated showers are possible tomorrow morning, but the afternoon should be dry with some sun breaking through.

The front stalls out over South Alabama, and isentropic lift (overrunning) begins Sunday. Rain should become widespread over the northern two-thirds of the state by afternoon; temperatures hold in the 60s again most of the day. Rain should continue Sunday night.

NEXT WEEK: Monday, the best chance of rain will shift into South Alabama, but rain will increase statewide again on Tuesday as another wave moves through. That batch of rain should end early Wednesday… rain amounts between tonight and Wednesday will be in the 2-3 inch range for much of North/Central Alabama. Thursday will be cool and dry, but moisture increases again late in the week, and global models suggest more rain is possible late Friday or Friday night. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.





Can we spot the Cold Front haha!




Drastic difference in temp from the Mississippi River to Fort Smith Arkansas

 

I am thinking 3/16” gusseted back into the frame with a crossmember will be the way to go

 

shit, ive reused mine like 3 times lol. They for sale?

 

yes, for $0

 

I have never had any issues with mine and I have put a lot of force on it. Like pulling Chris of that rock at TNF

 

I will gladly take those off your hands lol

 

I was just inquiring about those exact same leaf packs! lol Great score Brian!

 

I know you have used the crap out of yours.

mostly on Chris as well....I think the time he got stuck in Leeds was the worst

 

I've thought about that too but I'll most likely be making braces that tie in to the sway bar mounts similar to what I have now. May do both though. Lol
