Alabama thread!

I still have to go pick up my new permit. It’s been over a month, but driving an hour the opposite direction of work when the sheriff’s office closes at 3pm hasn’t worked out.

 

Mee maw passed Constitutional Carry for Alabama. After I renew my permit for 5 years! It doesn't go into effect until 2023 though.

 

good thing my expires next year lol

 

I would have still gotten mine, in case we travel over to GA, TN, MS or FL. I think GA has constitutional carry, but our other surrounding states don't.

 

good point. What KY rules i wonder lol.

 

I can look real quick...

 

Constitutional carry

 

Kentucky is good to go.

Keep AR pistol loaded and ready to rock!

 

Thanks for the permit talk. I glanced at mine and it’s expired. I had to apply again today. Gave a call to a contact and hopefully I’ll have it next week.

 

That’s my whole thing with the constitutional carry. Still gotta have the permit if I wanna carry out of state.

 

Y’all see this group buy going on over here? Admittedly I’m still new to all this and idk if it’s up any of y’all’s alley.

It’s a great deal and a good design. If I wasn’t going hydro I’d get them. I haven’t forgot about you on the install. This weekend is shot unless I can get everything wired in these bathrooms tomorrow.

 

I’m intrigued. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have a real need for em, but I guess I also don’t see a down side.

No worries though. I know all too well how that kinda thing goes. I got a leaking kitchen faucet I gotta try to troubleshoot.

 

How do those increase strength? Seems like it's a nut with a tube attached. From the description there's clearance between the boar and the shaft, wouldn't that create a stress point?

 

Probably a pretty tight tolerance, but I think even if the tie rod deflects a bit before it hits the sleeve, it would help stop it from totally folding over. Would still allow the tie rod to be the fuse and not transfer a bunch of energy to the rack like heims and beefy inners might.

 

Already got Heims so I’m fucked anyways lol

 

Shit I’m on the original rack and never bent or broke a tie rod with plus size tires for almost ten years now. I’m scared to do anything to it. I’ve never forced it to turn if I felt a lot of resistance. I’ll want hydro when I do 40’s just so the damn thing will turn easy. It was insane how easy Levi’s turned when I test drove his 37’s and locked

 

I can see benifits of full hydro in a trail rig for sure! I’m probably gonna upgrade my power steering pump and install slide rack since I still drive my truck long distances to places. That could possibly change one day if I decide to buy another truck. Only thing really stopping me is gas prices right now lol

Corolla to good getting 28/36

 

Yeah that’s probably a solid upgrade for something that’ll see the street. If hydro goes out on the highway that’s all she wrote haha I was able to get 16.5 mpg in the f150 towing the taco to Tennessee. It gets about 18-20 regular mixed driving. That’s much much better than the taco was getting haha
