Alabama thread!

Same ole same ole...….sittin at work

I swear I just need to start copy/pasting that

 

I ordered tail lights and a vin tag. The tag will actually be label "Tacoma Camper" as the model
I now have everything except tires to have the trailer road worthy

 

Yep, your looks great too. I didn't like the idea of "Tacoma" being above the flag. I made peace with it.

I bought mine off Amazon. They are vinyl. You gotta pay attention when you peel the the backing, there were a few instances where the vinyl wanted to stick to the wrong surface. it will make sense when you do yours.

Here are the ones I purchased.

What's up Phil? Off work yet? We're about to head South to beech.

 

16 more minutes

 

Im sure I’ll pass you on Shug.

 

I'm walking out now

 

I need a pair of white or greyish. Where do you get them from?

NM I see now. Thanks!

 

Thanks man

 

I know these are a little more pricey but, if you wanted to go with magnet vs. decal.

Take some good pics. What are you going to use to get the springs back on?

When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window, the American flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

cant say that if you have never used it. It’s what I used to take them off and it didn’t skip a beat with the 700 lb springs. Did it all by hand with a ratchet also.

 

We are on our way to the beach too Ryan!

 

I've used the ones from AutoZone but I'm a little more cautious in my old age. I was hoping you bought a mounted compressor I could use. There is a new off-road shop down the road from me; I think I'm going to see if they will do mine.

 

I have used the rentals from there also, and they are even sketchy on civic springs. The SPC compressor is a well thought out design that didn’t make me nervous at all when tightening it down. Definitely not as good/safe as a wall mounted unit, but it’s about as good as it gets for a reasonably priced home use tool. I looked into compressors for about a month before I pulled the trigger on this one.

 

From AlabamaWX

SOUPY AIRMASS STAYS IN PLACE: A moisture laden airmass will stay in place across Alabama today with high humidity levels. A few showers have already developed early this morning, and we expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. A few spots could see heavy amounts of rain, but organized severe thunderstorms are not expected. Highs will remain in the 80s today due to clouds and rain.

TOMORROW THROUGH THE WEEKEND: Not much change; a few passing showers and storms are a good possibility each day, although they could be a little less numerous Sunday. Most of the showers will come from noon to midnight, but in this kind of environment you can’t rule out some rain during the late night or morning hours. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s tomorrow and Saturday, and close to 90 Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: For now the weather look pretty routine for August with partly sunny, hot, humid days and the daily round of random, scattered, mostly afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Highs will be pretty close to 90 degrees each day… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: Tropical Storm Isaias is southwest of Puerto Rico this morning with sustained winds of 60 mph. The latest forecast track from NHC takes it close to the Atlantic coast of Florida over the weekend, then curving northeast toward the Outer Banks of North Carolina by Monday night.





The intensity forecast is quite tricky. In the short term, Isaias is expected to move across Hispaniola, as the storm’s interaction with the mountainous island should cause some weakening and disruption to the circulation. Models suggest that a new center could form, and the environmental conditions would support gradual intensification. The intensity models have been trending higher, and the official forecast is nudged upward accordingly, now showing a peak intensity of 70 mph when the storm is near the coast of Florida and the Southeast U.S. Coast. It should be noted that there are models that show hurricane strength near the U.S. but, given the large amount of uncertainty, it is preferred to stay on the conservative side for now. We should have a better idea of how strong Isaias will become near the U.S. after reconnaissance aircraft sample the storm and after it passes Hispaniola later today.

Isaias will not impact Alabama or the Central Gulf Coast (Gulf Shores, Pensacola, Destin, Panama City Beach). It has potential to bring periods of heavy rain and gusty winds to the Florida Peninsula, especially cities on the Atlantic coast, over the weekend.

The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1970: Hurricane Celia was born in the northwest of the Caribbean Sea on this day. The hurricane would be one of the worst ever to hit Texas and would reach Texas late on August 3. The storm reached its peak as it made landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas, as a strong Category 3 hurricane. Hurricane Celia is currently the last major hurricane to make landfall on the middle Texas Coast until Hurricane Harvey in 2017
