Alabama thread!

Boo, it's the thought that counts anyway!

 

Anyone in the Bham area with some stock wheels + tires that I can borrow for a few days?

 

No Debt always the best option but, if I can use someone else’s money at a minimal charge and keep mine in the bank or working for me to provide me more money then that’s what I’m going to do. Thanks for the agree on CC!!!

 

That's hard to argue with if its kept in balance.

 

I’m heading to the GA Traverse loop section in TN via Chattanooga this weekend. Any of you Alabamians have some good waypoints and campsites that you can share with me? We’re coming in from Parksville Lake, taking 221 clockwise around the loop and back towards AL state line.

 

We did that exact loop like 2.5 months ago. The bottom section from jacks river campground to lake conasauga is closed because of erosion. Idk if it’s open yet.

I use that lab multiple times. I bet our dad's know each other!

 

Just ordered some Crosby bow shackles and a new Factor 55 tow strap! My old one is about 10 years old and has seen better days.

 

I have a Wheeler and an ARB strap but probably need front shackles for the new bumper. I haven't researched at all and I'm looking at these.

I've been in the heavy industrial manufacturing business for a long while now and most use the Crosby shackles, which are what other shackles are compared to. Designed, manufactured, heat treated, quenched and tested right here in the good ol USA! They are a bit pricier, but just like anything else, you get what you pay for. When it comes to recovery, I don't really want to skimp out.

 

Probably so

 

crosby makes good shackles! Those and ARB are the only ones I would ever buy outside of soft shackles. Definitely not something you want to cheap out on.

 

Alright guys, like I said if I’m going to afford the table I need to try to make it profitable. So let’s begin with a name.

So let’s begin.
Chilco -chilton county
Magic City Metals - pretty self explanatory from Bham
ArcSavvy - arc as in plasma, welding, etc

help me brain storm if you’d like. Opinions welcomed. Thing is about arcsavvy is there’s a metalsavvy fab shop I found.

 

Do any of you Alabamians have any use for my suspension take-offs? I took front and rear shocks, front coil springs and rear leaf springs off at around 30k. These are the original Bilsteins.

This is on my 2015 TRD Sport DCSB.

Happy if someone can use them. I’m in Prattville but may be heading up toward Anniston in a couple weeks.

 

I’ve been wanting to go camp in Jack River Falls but, it showed it was closed due to The Virus.

 

Very nice gesture!

 

T’s Plasma & Metalworks

 

I do love buying USA. I didnt know anything about Crosby, thanks for heads up on cost difference. I'm prepared for sticker shock. Do you have a good source?

 

I second Magic City Metals

 

Isn’t Miami called Magic City?
