Just followed

 

Already following back

 

Thanks! It’s a constant work in progress. Started designing the back half today. Going to build a couple variations on the computer before I commit I think.

 

That's got a prerunner/Baja kind of style to it. Looks pretty good!

Clay and now you have me wanting to cut the back of my truck off shorten and bob the thing and go nuts. I'm looking for a tow rig now to haul either my taco or XJ. Right not the taco is the crawler hauler

 

As we get closer to the weekend the chance of snow is diminishing to a nasty cold rain for much of Alabama.

From AlabamaWX

DRY THROUGH TOMORROW: Pleasant winter weather continues across Alabama through tomorrow… look for partly to mostly sunny days with highs between 56 and 60 degrees for most communities. Clouds will increase tomorrow night as the next weather system approaches.

SATURDAY: Saturday will be a cloudy day with a high in the mid to upper 50s. Rain will move into the western counties by midday, and widespread rain is expected statewide by late afternoon into Saturday night. This will be a good soaking with rain amounts of 1-2 inches likely. A few strong thunderstorms are possible along the Gulf Coast; SPC has defined a low end “marginal risk” of severe thunderstorms from near Pensacola over to Carrabelle Florida.

SNOW SUNDAY?? There isn’t much change in our thinking for Sunday. Rain will end early Sunday as a slot of drier air works into the state, and much colder air will drop southward with temperatures falling into the mid 30s over the northern counties. Snow showers will likely develop over North Alabama in the cold air during the day Sunday.

Some light, spotty accumulation is possible, mainly on grassy areas Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening where snow showers develop… higher probabilities of getting some snow on the ground are across the northeast counties. Temperatures will likely be in the mid 30s (above freezing) as the snow falls, and initially travel impact is not expected as roads will be just wet.

Some patchy black ice is possible Sunday night on bridges where water lingers and temperatures go below freezing.

The main winter impact with the weekend system will be northeast of Alabama, across the Carolinas, Virginia, and West Virginia. And, of course, the forecast could change, so watch for updates over the next few days.



NEXT WEEK: Monday will be cold and dry with a high in the 40s… then temperatures return to the 50s Tuesday. Some light rain is possible late Wednesday and Wednesday night, followed by colder and drier air Thursday and Friday. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1982: Much of the eastern and southern U.S. (including Alabama) was in the midst of a severe cold wave and ice/snow event. In Washington D.C. that day, Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the 14th Street Bridge over the Potomac River. Striking the bridge, it hit seven occupied vehicles and destroyed 97 feet of guard rail before plunging through the ice into the Potomac River. The aircraft was carrying 74 passengers and five crew members. Only four passengers and one crew member (a flight attendant) were rescued from the crash and survived. Another passenger, Arland D. Williams, Jr., assisted in the rescue of the survivors, but drowned before he could be rescued. Four motorists on the bridge were killed. The survivors were rescued from the icy river by civilians and professionals.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the cause of the accident was pilot error. The pilots failed to switch on the engines’ internal ice protection systems, used reverse thrust in a snowstorm prior to takeoff, tried to use the jet exhaust of a plane in front of them to melt their ice, and failed to abandon the takeoff even after detecting a power problem while taxiing and having ice and snow build up on the wings.

 

Does anyone know of a rock slider kit that isn't painted or welded? Like just the component pieces?

 

Ruff stuff Specialties has a generic kit. Not sure the overall length would be enough for a Tacoma though.

 

Thank you. Do you happen to know what length a DCSB needs? Or how I would calculate that?

 

Something like 81” is what I remember. I typically measure the length of the pinch weld on the bottom of the cab and depending on the coverage you want adjust from there.

ONE MORE DRY DAY: Look for a partly to mostly sunny sky across Alabama today with a high in the mid to upper 50s for most communities. Clouds will thicken tonight ahead of the approaching storm system.

TOMORROW: Rain will move into the western counties of the state by midday, and widespread rain is likely statewide tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. This will be a good soaking, with amounts of 1-2 inches likely. A few strong thunderstorms are possible along the Gulf Coast… the has defined a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms along the Florida coast from Perdido Key all the way down to Sarasota.

SNOW POTENTIAL SUNDAY: Much colder air will be pulled southward Sunday, and the rain will likely chance to periods of snow over the northern half of the state. Some accumulation is possible on grassy areas over about the northern third of Alabama (north of Birmingham)… amounts should be generally one inch or less. However, isolated heavier totals are possible north of the Tennessee River, and across the high terrain of northeast Alabama.



Temperatures will be generally in the mid 30s Sunday as the snow falls, and with temperatures holding just above freezing roads should be just wet, and for now travel impact is not expected Sunday afternoon. However, as temperatures drop below freezing Sunday night some patchy “black ice” is possible mainly on bridges.

While there are no watches for any part of Alabama, a winter storm watch is in effect for much of Tennessee, where snow amounts of 2-4″ are likely. Major snow and ice impacts are also likely in the Carolinas, Virginia, and West Virginia.



As always, know this forecast can change, so watch for updates over the weekend.

NEXT WEEK: Monday and Tuesday will be dry with a warming trend… then a cold front will bring a chance of rain Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night. Another shot of cold, dry air rolls into the state Thursday and Friday. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1963: Birmingham dropped to 13 degrees as a cold wave was underway across the Deep South.

ON THIS DATE IN 1972: In Loma, Montana, the temperature soared from 54 degrees below zero to 49 degrees above zero on January 14-15, 1972. The 103-degree change is the greatest ever recorded in the world for a 24 hour period.
