Alabama thread!

@cubie new EDC who dis

 

Nice!

 

Shit man I'd just get by with that. Unless you see this being a common thing. Then I'd still do this

 

What’s goin on everybody? Got a plan to change some trans tcase and rear gear oil tomorrow in the rc if no storm stuff.

 

My plan is to possibly replace the CV axle in the ladies Sequoia. Picked up some 1500 bist off a guy’s Tundra also I may start on

 

I bet that cv axle won’t be too bad if it’s like our trucks, are the bilsteins for your truck? I’m gonna get the rc in the air and check wheel bearings while I’m at it.

 

There for her Sequoia

 

That’ll be sweet, I always liked that gen sequoia.

 

You have a transmit tone enabled?

 

I know a few people with TG stuff that wheel it pretty hard too. They are using the rock assault axles, dual cases, etc. I use to have wheeler's ubolt flip and superbumps in the rear still have them in the front they were good. TG is more actual physical parts that are close to ready to install, low range is more their builder parts, and wheelers is more their store front (like yourself), allpro is similar to TG for stuff for their company. TG has a bad rap from some issues and breakages but I think that crowd was just louder than that from other companies so the pitch forks came out. If you do some more forum bouncing you'll see some of the parts that are screamed about being cheap from TG on here have the same failures from other companies people are more hush hush idk out of embarrassment for spending an ass ton and not getting the hyped quality or what but I found similar issues from their competitors people were just more discreet about them. Wheeler's stopped giving candy which sucks. ECGS uses and sells the TG rock assault 9 housing for their builds. Lots of 1st gen guys have the TG bumpers and stuff.

If I were in your position I wouldn't hesitate to at least look at what they were offering as far as pricing, contract, req. to buy, warranty, cust svs, etc. Ask them straight up about why Allpro couldn't deal with their CS issues and lost forum status and that doesn't instill confidence in you so what are they going to do if one of your customers has an issue. It's just a lot larger line of parts you'd be able to get a hold of and sell if people are looking for those items.

As far as brake lines go they are crown out of CA so give them a call see if you cant just get some pricing and have your logo put on the lines they already have F&R kits in different lengths.

TG was the original purchase then allpoo pretty close to the same time Low Range and Wheeler's next and recently Headstrong. I'm pretty sure none are the master owner it's owned by some conglomerate parent investment company, I forget the name. Like Remington, DPMS, etc in the gun industry.

 

No clue you are asking a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff. I seem to remember someone saying they set it to a privacy setting??? Does that make sense?

 

Radar sure looks different this morning than what the computer run "thought". Huge mass of rain from East Alabama to the other side of Jackson Miss.

 

Man at my moms house in OB and we got baseball/ hand size hail this morning

 

That happened at my house a few years ago. Damaged all my vehicles and my roof, over $22,000 in damages.

 

Holy shit!!!! That's crazy

 

That's awful and I hate to hear it. Very dangerous situation when they're that size

 

Im swapping out body mount bushings. Any way I could have created a small engine oil leak by separating the body from the cab that much to get the old bushings out? Noticed a small leak around the drain plug and the pan seems covered. Oil level is fine, just not sure where it came from? It’s either extremely slow or was temporary

 

No clean it all off and ride for a little while and recheck. It may just be the drain plug dripping a bit but driving around blew it all over

 

Really weird. I wiped it off of the floor only and it sat for over four hours while I finished up and not another drip. Doesn’t look like there’s a crush washer though, so maybe that’s what it is and it’s blowing around down there. It stops shy of any gaskets so I don’t think it’s serious

on a side note I got new energy cab bushings installed and rotated the front so they clear the tires easier. Got my coils swapped over to 650lb. Will report back to see if they’re any smoother.

 

Probably just that
