Alabama thread!

Why would it be a prob when skid is covered

 

#tooted



I realized today that I can't do heat anymore. Don and Preston helped while they were there. Josh, Jonny, and Brian really helped me out after getting a bit over heated. My dad and I are planning to finish it up in the am.

 

Hope your in the ice cold ac Phil! Glad we could get that suspension on! Hopefully rear goes on smooth tomorrow.

 

Enjoyed it man! I had a blast.

 

Lift on. Thanks Johnny and Brian for the help. Nice to meet you Phil, Preston and Don.

 

they don’t work with skid plates. This is the result of someone that thought it was a good idea and did a lot of work to try to make it happen.

You just can’t make fetch happen Gretchen.

Yea I’ve read that story before think of it every time someone mentions diff drop, and then cringe....

 

The heat was no joke. Was nice to finally put a face to 'sup phillip'.

 

Damn it was hot today! Wrenching in the sun is no joke. It was nice meeting you @weagle22, hope you're happy with your new suspension! Phil, get you some rest and drink water.

It’s so weird to have sold the truck but it still be in my driveway lol

 

Oh so the deal went good? Why do you still have it?

 

He’s having it shipped. He flew out here Friday but had work to get back to this morning so wouldn’t have been able to drive it back and make it. So he’s having it shipped out there.

 

Why would anyone be offended by sups? Except maybe Phillip since you’re just copying him lol

 

Mornin' folks! I see @gixxerphil is reppin' the carolina Squat

From AlabamaWX

On this date in 1969, the Gulf Coast was nervously eyeing Hurricane Camille in the southern Gulf of Mexico, having crossed Cuba the previous night, and turning its sights on the U.S. National Hurricane Center Director Robert Simpson was literally flying blind, with no reconnaissance reports since the previous afternoon. All of the normal planes available to Simpson were tied up in the hurricane modification project called Stormfury, which was seeding Hurricane Debbie in the western Atlantic. Simpson would secure an Air Force weather plane out of Illinois to fly a mission into the storm that afternoon. What the crew found was startling: the pressure had dropped to a dizzying 908 millibars, a record drop in the Atlantic at the time. That same crew would find the pressure even lower just after 7 p.m., at 905 millibars, and reported flight-level winds of 140 knots, or around 145 mph when adjusted to the surface. The eye was circular, 10 nautical miles in diameter. Camille was a monster. Hurricane watches were issued that morning from Biloxi to St. Marks, Florida, and hurricane warnings were issued a short time later, but for the wrong section of the coast, from Fort Walton to. Marks. Forecasters thought the hurricane was going to turn northeast. But it would aim further west and make landfall on the Mississippi Coast on Sunday evening, August 17, 1969. The devastation was incredible.

ON THE WEATHER MAPS THIS MORNING: A huge upper-level ridge of high pressure covers the western United States with an amplifying trough over the eastern U.S. A developing low-pressure system to the east of us pulled drier air down into Alabama behind a weak frontal system on the backside of the low. At the surface, pressures are low east of the Rockies. Out in the Atlantic, the Bermuda High is a little east of its normal position, allowing Josephine to turn to the northwest.

FOR YOUR SUNDAY: We’re starting off in the upper 60s to lower 70s this morning under fair skies this morning. A second cold front is pushing towards Alabama and it will move through this afternoon. It will still encounter enough moisture to trigger a few isolated showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours.

MONDAY/TUESDAY: Dewpoint will drop behind this front and the much drier air will effectively put an end to almost any showers for storms for Monday or Tuesday. Lows both mornings will fall into the middle and upper 60s over the northern half of the state. Highs will be near 90F.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: A fairly typical summertime pattern will return with scattered afternoon and evening showers and storms. Highs will be around 90F each day, lows will be in the middle 60s into the weekend.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: More of the same into the weekend, with scattered showers and storms each day. Highs will be near 90F. Lows will be near 70F.



VOODOOLAND: A ridge of high pressure builds back in week two, and that may play a role in steering a tropical system across the Gulf toward Texas.

JOSEPHINE: Tropical Storm Josephine has been holding its own despite fairly strong wind shear, but the shear is starting to take its toll. The system is barely a tropical storm early this morning, and it will likely weaken to a tropical depression by tonight as the wind shear values are expected to increase. In fact, Josephine could weaken into an open tropical wave by Monday. Josephine is still expected to pass far enough to the north of the northern Leeward Islands this morning so that any impacts will be minimal, at most.

Once we get past the early part of the week, we may need to keep an eye on Josephine once again for regeneration and strengthening. The environmental conditions may become more favorable with lower wind shear values possible. Also, Josephine will be turning more to the northeast by then & will start heading in the same direction as the wind shear. This will lead to a net low shear, favorable environment. Some of the model guidance are showing intensification into a tropical storm again with tropical storm impacts on Bermuda possible around Thursday. This is something that will be watched closely & interests on the island of Bermuda should keep an eye on Josephine.

KYLE: Tropical Storm Kyle started losing tropical characteristics yesterday and it will become post-tropical this morning. The system is accelerating eastward over the open Atlantic well south of the Canadian Maritimes this morning.

NEXT SYSTEMS TO WATCH: If you’ve hung out around here for very long, you probably know that we keep an eye on old frontal systems that drop into the Gulf of Mexico. Of course, that is the case this week, and with the warm waters of the Gulf, it will be a place to watch this week. The models aren’t picking up on any development at this time though. And over Africa, a strong tropical disturbance is about to move into the eastern Atlantic. Some of the modeling is giving an increasing chance that this system will be able to develop into a tropical storm over the Caribbean and it will bear watching.

BEACHCAST: A gorgeous week weather-wise is ahead along the beautiful beaches of Alabama and Northwest Florida. A good supply of sunshine each day with just a chance of a shower or storm. Highs will be in the lower 90s. Lows will be in the upper 70s. Water temperatures are running in the middle 80s. The surf will be 1-2 feet all week with a low rip current risk.

NATIONALLY: The heat is the storm nationally, especially over the western United States. Numerous heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are in effect today, blanketing virtually all of the western states like Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Idaho into western Montana.

DANCING WITH THE STATS: The heat index at Imperial, CA reached 122F yesterday! The combination of dewpoints in the upper 70s from a surge of moisture from the Gulf of California and temperatures over 100F.

WEATHERBRAINS: This week, the panel will undertake a busy agenda, being joined by friends of the podcast Todd Lericos and Alan Gerard from the National Weather Association and NWA Foundation. Then we will speak with Greg Schoor, the NWS Severe Weather Program Director. Check out the show at www.WeatherBrains.com. You can also subscribe on iTunes. You can watch the show live at live.bigbrainsmedia.com or on James’ YouTube Channel You will be able to see the show on the James Spann 24×7 weather channel on cable or directly over the air on the dot 2 feed.

ON THIS DATE IN 2007: The mercury at the Birmingham Airport reached 103F, marking the 10th consecutive day with highs of 100F or hotter. The streak would end the next day, but the ten-day run of 100F+ temperatures stands as the longest in the city’s history. Follow my weather history tweets on Twitter.

I’m pretty sure my rci will work.

yea I’ve seen that but I’ve also seen tons of ppl using them with zero issues. It’s those people who don’t write reviews because why would they. Feel like user error on something.

 

Sup about to go finish my damn truck if I can. Anyone want to come help me take on test drive lol!
