Alabama thread!

Heads up for next week if any of you are traveling. Possible disturbance could make it a nightmare.

From AlabamaWX

THANKSGIVING WEEK: We expect a mid-week storm system that will bring a risk of rain, possibly a few thunderstorms, to Alabama. Just about impossible to nail down the timing now, but be aware that some rain is possible either Tuesday or Wednesday, followed by dry weather on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and Iron Bowl Saturday. Temperatures look seasonal for the week, with highs most days between 60 and 65, and lows in the upper 30s and low 40s.



TODAY

PLEASANT DAY: A strong upper trough is squeezing out a few showers over Alabama early this morning; these showers will end by mid-morning, and the sky becomes mostly sunny with a high in the mid 60s this afternoon. The average high for November 19 at Birmingham is 64.

Tomorrow and Thursday will stay dry with a good supply of sunshine both days; the high tomorrow will be in the mid 60s, and by Thursday a good chance we reach the 70 degree mark.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Clouds return to the state Friday, and an approaching cold front will bring a chance of rain to parts of North Alabama by afternoon. Rain is most likely Friday night as a wave of low pressure moves along the front; the rain will end Saturday morning. For now it looks like the best chance of rain will come from about 4:00 p.m. Friday through 8:00 a.m. Saturday, but the rain could linger into early Saturday afternoon over the southeast part of the state.

Rain amounts will be around one inch for the northern counties, with 1/2 inch or less for South Alabama. Some thunder is possible, but we expect no risk of severe storms. Saturday will be cooler with a high between 57 and 60 degrees. Then, on Sunday, expect a good supply of sunshine with a high close to 60.

Mobile is the winner this afternoon. If you have a motorcycle, you should be on it.

 

not this year, but I did a couple years ago. Are you planning on buying steel goodies?

 

you could also plan a camping trip in the area and just pick them up!

 

I bought ifs skid/mid skid, tossing around the idea of ordering some sliders?

 

I'm getting a few things, nothing crazy though. High lift brackets and the CMC plates. @BamaTaco56 or @Jerneyman would you guys be able to weld the plates on?

 

I bought their skids last year, shipping wasn't too bad, only around 125 while BAMF charged me 400 to ship the bumper.

 

Yeah, I could do it for you. But if @BamaTaco56 is closer to you and available, I'm sure he'd do it for you too and it'd be less of a drive.

 

I can do that. Let me know when you get the plates and we can work it in.

 

Well I got 14 paid days off from now till new year's... So no Mondays for this guy till 2020

 

Don't order sliders when @Jerneyman has a set ready to go to a new home. Probably no shipping cost since he is just a drive away.

 

oh yeah i have 5 days to roll over... but i have 3 hours short of 9 days to burn on top of that plus 2 days at thanksgiving, 2 at Christmas and then new year's day... taking a full week at Christmas, every monday from here on out and the first thursday of december i think... hoping for a good deer season

 

Looking for a used spare in a 285 75 16. Please let me know if you know anyone who has one

 

I’ve got a 285/70/17 lol

 

Im going 285 75 16. Im going to use my steel spare tire and go back to stock wheels with some wheel spacers until i can afford some f'5s. About to pull the trigger on a smoking deal for so Falken MT's. I need some new tire bad. Wanted to wait until January to buy tires but the deal is too good.

 

Yes sir. Brand New $680 shipped to my door.

 

Congrats on some new tires! You're gonna want to hit the trails soon to test em out. Where you wanna ride this weekend? lol

 

I figured i can offset the cost by selling my current wheels and tires together for a great deal.

 

Havent pulled the trigger yet but im about to. Im not going to be able to get them mounted until next weekend because my stocks are at my moms house in Orange Beach. Ill be there for Thanksgiving next week so ill get them mounted then.

 

the only person I know that has those tires isn’t a huge fan of them. @tweakit88 can chime in on the matter.

 

lol, cool that means I get a free one.
