Sup peeps!

So I FINALLY finished my website supporting the winch switch bracket kits I've been selling....

Would love if you guys could take a chance and give me any feedback!

Sup Chris
Site looks great. I like how the pics are big and you can really see it installed. They even link to TW when you click on them
Ever find a TW express for the DS?

 

Thanks for checking it out. Glad you noticed the pic links

Nope - I went to Cullman and picked up a driveshaft at a yard down there. $280 after tax + $75 for a new carrier bearing... spent more than I wanted to but the trucks rolling in 2WD again so thats good.

I'm taking both of the ones ive destroyed back to GA this weekend and having a shop there rebalance one($50) and re-tube the other($200) so I'll have good spares on hand when i do this again

On another note - I think my truck is going to need some engine work. Pretty sure its got a leaking valve (need to do a compression test) so I'm keeping my eye out for a used head or a whole darn motor...

 

I bought one of those Inland Empire carrier bearings. It's been sitting around for months.

 

Can’t say I’ve heard of them….

I’ve replaced 3 carrier bearings at this point, all OEM spicer and I never have issues with them (because I wreck my driveshafts before they have a chance to wear out)

 

I got to reading TW one night and realized I needed one I found this one used for $50 or so from a guy that had hoarded Tacoma parts and then sold it.........so I kinda felt his pain

HA! If thats not the story of my life when it comes to TW lmao!

Dude... i still have speakers and sound deadening that i bought w black fridays ago that i still havent installed hahaha

 

Super chargers are hell on engines, that being said I’m looking at the LCE one that’s in development for my 4 banger lol

 

Yes but worth it I don't even wanna imagine how my truck would drive without it lol

 

Not as bad as mine, mine is soooo slow but works haha

 

I really need to get off my ass and finish the truck shit laying around.........I've got a few mod days worth

 

you and i both man so hard to find time!!

 

danggggg wheres the invite

 

Dang why you gotta flex on us poors?

 

Got my uca for the rc, so next free time I get it’s getting some love. Hopefully that fixes its lil squeak and it drives/rides a touch better.

 

Finally making some progress on the front end. Cut off the crossmember, slimmed the bumper down and made some high clearance skids.

 

Morning Bama!

 

Mornin fellas

 

From AlabamaWX




DENSE FOG ADVISORY: A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 8 am this morning for Cullman, DeKalb, Jackson, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, and Morgan counties in North Alabama, and for Blount, Calhoun, Cherokee, Clay, Cleburne, Etowah, Jefferson, Randolph, Shelby, St. Clair, and Talladega counties in Central Alabama.

TODAY: Drier air will start working into the mid-levels of the atmosphere today across Central Alabama, which will reduce the scattered shower and thunderstorm chances for the northern half. Unfortunately, there will continue to be plenty of moisture at the lower levels, which will keep the humidity levels high and the heat index elevated. A few isolated showers or storms will be possible along and north of I-20 today, while scattered to numerous showers and storms will be more likely over the southern half of the area during the afternoon hours. Highs will be in the lower to mid 90s across the area.



A Heat Advisory is in effect for all counties in Central Alabama for today until 7 pm this evening.

THE REST OF THE WEEK: The ridge strengthens across the area on Thursday, which will give us a dry day with plenty of sun and plenty of heat. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s. Same story on Friday… hot and humid with plenty of sunshine. Highs in the mid to upper 90s. Some locations may flirt with the century mark in the southern and western parts of the area.

THE CENTRAL ALABAMA WEEKEND: The ridge begins to weaken for the weekend and a cold front will begin to approach the area on Saturday. Moisture levels will increase ahead of the front to introduce a small chance for a few isolated to scattered afternoon showers or storms. Highs will be in the lower to mid-90s. Rain chances increase somewhat as the front begins to move closer and eventually into the northern parts of the state on Sunday. Scattered showers and storms can be expected during the main heating of the day, especially during the late afternoon through the evening hours. Highs will be in the upper 80s to the mid 90s.

THE START OF NEXT WEEK: Showers and storms will be likely at times on Monday as the front continues to push southward through the area. While we do not need the rain, the good news is that the oppressive heat will be gone for a bit. Highs will be in the mid 80s to the lower 90s.

Drier air will start to work into the northern half of the area on Tuesday, while the front continues to struggle to move out of the southern half of the area. Scattered showers and storms will be possible south of I-20, while mostly sunny skies can be expected north of that. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s for the most part.



THE TROPICS: All is quiet across the Atlantic Basin, and tropical cyclone formation is not expected within the next five days.
