Alabama thread!

This rocks!

 

I'm just glad my EPC-9 upper/rail/LPK was found. It hadn't had an update since the 30th in Calvert City, KY. I went all "Karen" on the phone the other day threating to call the ATF and let them know......magically got a text yesterday it was in Ellenwood, GA

 

I hate it too. I'm waiting on my coilovers right now for my 87 pickup. 8 to 12 week lead time.

 

Nice, you building a truggy?

 

Yeah, for the most part. I've cut the back half of the frame and am building a complete tube chassis from the cab rearward then attaching a roll cage through cab and building tube front end as well. Sort of modeling this build after an Ultra 4 buggy.

 

Dang, sounds like you got a major offroad project going on. Can't wait to see it!

 

yep, it’s been quite the undertaking. Stripped down to the cab and frame. Designing and building my 3 link and 4 link. Rebuilding the motor and building the crawl box. Still need to finish the cage and rewire everything. Should be done in a couple years. Lol.

 

Man, that's sick! I want to build me an offroad rig too. I may take away my son's 2nd gen and use it as a guinea pig....

 

Replacing the stand pipes on a F-350 diesel. Got to disconnect a motor mount to jack one side up to get the passenger side out, after getting everything out of the way just to get to it.

 

Thanks
Going to Hawk Pride February 4th - 6th. Hope it all stays together, lol

 

Dang, that will be cool, did you make the trailing arms?
What beadlocks are those?
I thought about powder coating my lock rings a different color but couldn't decide what color, lol

 

Sounds like fun!

 

Oh yeah, almost too much

 

I bought the URC Trailing Arm kit from RuffStuff. They have it perfected so I figured I’d pay the money instead of making them myself.

The beadlocks are from Total Metal Innovations. They’re weld on beadlocks. Got a set of cheap Vision Off-road wheels and welded them up. Been a few months and they still hold air really well. I’m impressed so far.

 

Anyone in the Birmingham area up to pulling a 3rd gen out? Not my rig. I’m 2.5 hours away and booked otherwise I’d snatch him out. Reach out and I’ll get you in touch if you’re able. Located near:


15865 Al-216
Brookwood, AL 35444
United States

 

wheres that at?

 

i don’t know exact location, I edited op with approximate location

 

Damn, what was he thinking? lol

 

I googled the address and it appears east of Tuscaloosa.

 

I assume he's stuck in the rock quarry pictured?
