Alabama thread!

The weather sure is nice.

 

Oh Lawd it’s on now. She’s trying to escape! Nothing can stop her with those knee pads haha

 

Poor kid dressing her up as one of those 80s workout video girls. A little rug burn and scuffed crawler knees/legs never hurt no one let her out that bubble.

 

Haha these concrete floors are rough, especially as much as she moves around. Daddy’s working as fast as he can to grind and polish them some mommy can spend a fortune on rugs

 

Oh shoot yall got concrete lol. If they weren't butter smoothed and what not during the pour you have a long road ahead making them smooth and sealing and what not. Have fun not something I'd ever want to do.

 

Luckily it’s smooth outside of carpet glue and linoleum backing and a couple high/rough spots, but I have diamond disk angle grinders for that and a diamond disk floor buffer for the rest. Biggest part is grinding through the sealer evenly. Cleaning is the worst part though and everything takes at least two passes because you can’t see what you’re doing. I have 4000 sqft to do

 

Yeah doing it after there was a flooring on it before is even worse. The floor buffer does it have water connected to it and flowing when you're grinding? The finishing they do for concrete that's getting a flooring over it isn't nearly as smooth as one that would be the actual floor. Are you going to stain it after?

 

It has an attachment for a tank but honestly it wouldn’t benefit much. I throw a lot of water on it with a mop before grinding and add as needed. Getting all the sealer ground off is the biggest part. You can’t tell what you’ve missed until you clean it and it dries, since wet concrete and sealed concrete look pretty much the same.

no stain, just a high gloss sealer

 

What did you end up doing?

 

I found someone that let me store it on their land. Probably just going to sell it whole to whoever wants it.

 

How bass the damage? Maybe interested, interested in the wheels if you’d wanna sell them 16’s?

 

16” SCS F5 with 265/75/16 KO2. I’m probably just going to keep them on the truck for whoever buys it.

also has ADS 2.5” coilovers with reservoir and clickers. JBA UCA

 

Any idea how much you want to sell the whole truck for?

 

$2300

 

What kinda damage said the front wheel assembly got torn off frame damaged?

 

Man that sucks that was a super clean first gen.

 

Yeah man I loved that truck. I learned how to perform maintenance on it with the help of timmythetoolman videos and members on this site. I slowly built up confidence to perform more complex maintenance.

I have cbi sliders, RCI bed rack, ADS rear shocks, and custom Deaver springs that I never got to install.

I also ordered relentless front and rear bumpers that are supposed to ship in December. I wonder if I should just take the cancellation fee and save my self a couple grand.

 

How much is the cancellation fee? If it's more than you can get selling the bumpers I'd just keep them on order and sell when you get them try and recoup more of your money that way.

 

@Brahms could also throw it up on the gen 1 market place and have the order shipped to that persons address, instead of yours.
