Alabama thread!

had to buy it, I get a bonus 4% cash back from home depot so I can't complain.

it's almost worth buying 2 kits for that price to have spares.

 

They wont ship it. Ive inquired a couple of times. I need 5.29 in the front so i could just throw those in when i put that locker in.

If hes still got it in January ill probably make the trip cause i get my bonus then. Hes had it on Marketplace for 3 months now.

 

that’s what I’m doing. Don’t have a setup do a notched, so there is no point in spending the money.

 

Hard to use a tube notched on square tubing. Just outline your radius on the square tubing and use a flap disc. Works surprisingly well and there’s no clean up.

 

You going to 5.29 gears?

 

he needs to with that 4 cylinder.

 

Yes I know it will help, just asking.
He seemed to be getting around really well Saturday

@Brian422 What gears you running now?

 

i need to get 5.29s as well, but I wont be doing anything else to this truck till at least 50k miles.
I say 50k miles because I've came to the conclusion I must have another car by then. So 11k miles

 

If I regear it will be 5.29 as well. @Brian422 was getting around really well Saturday I was wondering why he was talking about going 5.29?

 

I already have 5.29

 

Oh ok, I knew you seemed to not be having any problems with enough power

 

Yeah its a great combo with the 4cyl engine with my current setup. Even when i had the tent my girlfriend and my dog in the truck i still got up those super steep hills at stony we went up.

 

Hey did your springs require a signature for fedex to deliver? Im not at home to sign didn't know I needed to be or id had it shipped to work. So now fedex is saying dobinsons has an issue where I cant send it to a holding area, and dobinsons is saying fedex isn't letting them do anything really don't wanna drive to the closest fedex hub Birmingham to pick them up. Super frustrating.

 

Yes. Had to sign for them and they wouldn’t let me hold them at a location either

 

never would have thought of a flap disc. It’s crazy how much I use those darn things when welding.

 

Good morning Alabama! It's gonna be a wet and cold one today!

 

From AlabamaWX

ACTIVE DAY: Much to discuss this morning. Just before daybreak, rain was fairly extensive across the northern half oF Alabama ahead of a strong cold front that is over the northwest corner of the state. Here are the big weather issues for today…

FALLING TEMPERATURES: The high temperature today will come early this morning; many places are in the 65-70 degree range over the central part of the state at sunrise. Temperatures will fall through the 60s, 50s, 40s, and we wind up in the 30s by late afternoon. Some places will drop over 30 degrees in 12 hours. A strong northwest wind of 12-25 mph will make it feel colder, so dress accordingly as you leave this morning.

RAIN: Widespread rain is likely today and early tonight; rain amounts of 1/2 to 1 inch are likely, with isolated heavier amounts. You might hear some thunder this morning, but no severe storms are expected. The rain will end from northwest to southeast tonight as drier air returns.

SNOW: As cold air deepens over North Alabama, rain will most likely change to light snow before ending late this afternoon and tonight. The change could come as early as 4:00 to 6:00 over the northwest corner of the state, but the main window comes from 6:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. Snow accumulation potential will be limited by the warm ground, but some grassy areas could see 1/2 to 1 inch in spots north of U.S. 278 (north of a line from Hamilton to Cullman to Gadsden). Roads will be just wet tonight with no travel impact; surface temperatures will be in the mid 30s.

But, temperatures drop below freezing after midnight, and if there is any lingering moisture a few icy spots are possible on bridges and overpasses. But, the strong northwest wind will dry most roads and bridges… so the overall threat is low, and NWS Huntsville has opted not to issue a winter weather advisory for now.



While a few snowflakes are possible as far south as Lamar, Marion, Winston, Fayette, Walker, Cullman, Blount, and Marshall counties… no snow is expected over the central part of Alabama tonight.

TOMORROW/THURSDAY/FRIDAY: Tomorrow will be a mostly sunny day with a high in the mid 50s. The daytime hours Thursday will be dry, but clouds increase by afternoon as a wave moves out of the Gulf of Mexico. Rain becomes widespread across Alabama Thursday night into part of the day Friday; some thunder is possible, but severe storms are not expected. This will bring another 1/2 to 1 inch to most of the state; the rain should end from west to east Friday afternoon as the low moves northeast, away from Alabama. The high Thursday and Friday will remain in the 50s.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: An upper trough will swing through Saturday, but for now the air looks too dry for any meaningful rain. The sky will be occasionally cloudy Saturday with a high close to 60 degrees. Sunday looks dry and mild; with a partly sunny sky the high will be between 65 and 70. Clouds thicken Sunday night.

Cold air a comin'

that’s a good deal. Burned through almost a whole disc cutting 3 small pieces of 3/16 off my bumper last night.

 

What brand cutting wheels are you using?
