Alabama thread!

Think hes building a tire carrier. He had sliders on that pallet

 

Ok,
I thought about putting my swing out back on but I don't really use it that much so it is still in the basement

 

I took mine off so i could fit a bunch of stuff in my truck for the move but now i think im gonna leave it off for a bit. I like having the extra weight off the truck I didn't realize how heavy mine really was until i took it off.

 

Tire carrier. It’s killing me not having at least the small 5ft bed to throw stuff in.

 

You building it? I enjoyed building mine.
Just make sure it is level when open and closed. It can be level one way but not the other, don't ask me how I know that.

 

Haha yeah that part will be challenging. Will probably mount the bumper and tack everything together while it’s on there if possible. Thinking about making it half to two thirds the length of the bumper to shorten the moment arm. Might add another swing out later.

wanted to make a tailgate swing out, but it was only going to move the tire in a couple inches or so. Not worth the effort.

 

Jeff you down to explore some other trails in TNF Saturday? It's me, clay and I think Brian so far. Probably start at 600-1 for convenience and a couple side trails available there. Then another trail head thats near 600-1 ending. Probably meet at 10am at trail head.

 

It'll be crowded with the semi locals

 

In before the change!!!!! Plus Trusts in general are just a good idea to keep grubby fingers off things you don't want touched.

 

Crowded in the desert doesn't seem like it goes together lol. But im pretty set on some time around then. Gives me plenty of time to start saving for the trip and also to get the truck in order. Also need a weekend that im already going to have an off day on.

 

Me me me! I ain’t been off-roading in a minute!

 

Who are you again? New guy?

Hah haven't seen ya in like 6 months!

 

A 4 day weekend and moab gets swarmed plus I think there is usually an event at moab around that time. I understand needing to plan around your availability. Just that there may be some traffic on the trails.

 

ahh i see what your thinking lol. No id be traveling there from Friday to Sunday. So Would start riding until Monday ish. So shouldn't be much traffic during the week.

 

Maybe, if I dont go to Tennessee, someone is opening a new park, Wild Donkey Off Road park

 

I was thinking leaving on 9/3 and starting to head home on 9/12

 

Gotcha!!! Yeah definitely that would be better!

 

Only would have to take 7 days vacation for those dates which is only half of my vacation time for next year. Not including the vacation time i already have saved!

 

Nice. I need to nail down when we are going next year

 

Where do y’all usually meet for the TNF rides?
