Alabama thread!

I haven't yet. I'm a member of the WSFA Storm Squad in which they use some footage sometimes but none of mine yet. I did get some comments on a clip from last nights storm off of twitter from news agencies in Europe asking if they could use my footage but I have no idea if I should let them or not or what to charge for that matter.

 

You should definitely let them. Maybe even do for it free and use it to learn how the process works.

 

I did all the sensors in the battery took off the engine cover and went to go get my spark plug socket and I couldn’t find it

 

Zuks n Yotas ride at Hawk Pride this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, These guys posted they are loaded and ready, everyone welcome if you want to ride.

 

Man, I want to go back to Hawk Pride. Wish this weekend wasn't booked up. Have fun and take videos.

 

This is my favorite ride of the year, people come from all over the U.S. They are always a lot of nice rigs and groups from mild to wild.

 

Man I would but going to moms house this weekend for mother’s day

 

I'm taking my mom out for dinner Monday,

 

My mom lives in Orange Beach so I kinda have to do something this weekend haha.

 

Orange Beach doesn't sound like a bad place to be on a weekend. Safe travels.

 

Morning Bama! Our weekend is filled with Mother’s Day festivities as well.

With a mostly sunny sky, we are expecting a high today in the low to mid 70s. The average high for Birmingham on May 6 is 80. A cold front will bring a narrow band of showers into North Alabama tonight… moisture will be very limited and rain amounts will be light and spotty. Then, a new surge of cooler, drier air will arrive after midnight. Tomorrow will be another sunny day with a high in the low 70s.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Look for a good supply sunshine Saturday with a high close to 80 degrees. The day Sunday will stay dry… with a partly sunny sky afternoon temperatures will rise into the low 80s. Clouds increase late in the day, and showers and storms will move into the state Sunday night.

NEXT WEEK: A surface front will stall out across the region, setting the stage for an unsettled pattern for much of the week. We will have a risk of showers and thunderstorms on a daily basis Monday through Thursday; for now the overall severe weather threat looks fairly low. Rain amounts for the week will be in the 2 inch range, but isolated heavier totals will be possible. Highs will be generally in the mid to upper 70s… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1937: The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at Naval Air Station Lakehurst in Manchester Township, New Jersey, United States. Of the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), there were 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen). One worker on the ground was also killed, making a total of 36 deaths. The Hindenburg was delayed two hours from docking due to thunderstorms in the area.

ON THIS DATE IN 1967: A F2 tornado moved through western part of the city of Birmingham. A 57 year old woman who was visiting her daughter on First Court West as she watched the tornado from the front door. She was killed when 2×12 timbers launched airborne from a nearby lumber yard was hurled into the house. Birmingham Deputy Fire Chief Neal Gallant watched the storm as it tore down Lomb Avenue. A five block area near the Fairgrounds was hardest hit. The evening feature at the Fair Park Drive Inn was cancelled when the tornado ripped the screen down. The feature was “Weird World of LSD”

ON THIS DATE IN 1975: A massive tornado hit Omaha, Nebraska killing three persons, injuring 133 others, and causing over 250 million dollars damage. The tornado struck during the late afternoon moving northeastward through the industrial and residential areas of west-central Omaha and lifting over the northern section of the city. The twister, which cut a swath ten miles long and as much as a quarter of a mile wide. It was the most costly in U.S. history up till that time.

 

Thinking about wrapping the truck. Im liking a matte cement color.

 

Ok, 2nd Gen Guys and Gals -

We have updated our tuning platforms to include the new HPTuners MVPI2 tuning software... We should have this buttoned up in the next several weeks and will be looking for anyone interested in tuning their 2nd Gen 2005-2015 4.0L V6 Tacoma

We might need a a good local 2nd Gen to read their ecu's to see what's available, but from what I've read so far its going to be nice..

If you are local to Hoover, AL / Birmingham, AL and have a fairly unmolested 2nd Gen that we could use, shoot me a DM..

Cheers,

john

 

Still no 2.7 tuning? OV tune supposedly has one.

 

There are only 2 ECU ID's listed in even my Pro VFTuner .. Not sure what the hold up is there.

 

My truck needs a tune bad. I manually shift gears right now and rarely drive in D haha.

 

The ECU ID's are 89663-4A21 & 89663-04A22

Some code scanners have the ability to read the ECU ID so if you have one try to see what you have.. If not, lets get together and I'll read your ECU ID and see what it is.


John-

 

Ill see if my ultraguage will tell me. If not i might give you a shout.

 

Like the 3rd gens?
