Alabama thread!

Should have gone with the chicken shrimp...cheaper

 

Jeff said go with Harbor Freight 20 ton. Said bearings are better. Need a bigger shop with a lift!!!

 

Going to end up doing 3 sets (2 lower and SPC uppers) so probably worth it.

 

Yup! That place is the worst! Also, according to a staff member there, they have no way to check a battery. They also don't know the difference between stick on wheel weights and clamp on. And will lie to your face and disagree when you call them out on it. I'd give them a negative 100 out of 10 and they will never see my money again.

 

@pndwind make the drive to Lagrange Toyota. They aren't top notch, but they aren't liars and at least know how to service a vehicle. Or just drive up to the house and we'll knock it out over coffee and or a couple beers.

 

I'm still in shock about the shrimp price

 

Cut in very small pieces and use your imagination to think lobster.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

 

Thanks Mike, I appreciate the offer. The 5k service looks like checking fluids, air filter and tire rotation. I keep the fluids and air filter checked anyway and I’m not worried about rotating the tires until 10k. I guess it was more about having a record it was done on a new vehicle.
I’ve got trust issues with dealerships anyway so if I do take it in for the next one I’ll go to Lagrange.

 

From AlabamaWX

SUMMER PATTERN CONTINUES: Alabama’s weather won’t change much today; expect a high in the 88-92 degree range this afternoon with a few pop-up showers or storms this afternoon and early tonight. Chance of any one spot seeing rain today is around 30 percent, and most of the showers will come from 2:00 until 9:00 p.m.

We expect an increase in the coverage of showers and thunderstorms across Alabama tomorrow ahead of a surface front, and SPC has the northeast corner of the state in a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe storms.



Heavier thunderstorms across Northeast Alabama tomorrow could produce hail and strong winds; there is no tornado threat. Otherwise, tomorrow will be occasionally cloudy with scattered to numerous showers and storms; the high will be in the mid to upper 80s.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY: Heat levels come down over the latter half of the week, with highs closer to 80 degrees. And, the highest coverage of showers and storms will shift into South Alabama as the surface front sags southward. Still, a few widely scattered showers can’t be ruled out across the northern half of the state on these three days.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: A more meaningful front will bring the chance of a few passing showers or storms Saturday (no all-day rain), followed by a dry, continental airmass Sunday with lower humidity and a sunny sky. Highs will remain close to 80 degrees, which is a bit below average for mid to late May in Alabama.

NEXT WEEK: Dry air stays in place for the first half of the week; a few scattered showers could return by Thursday and Friday. Highs will be generally in the 80s, with lows in the 60s. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1957: An F4 tornado killed 20 people in Silverton, Texas. A 5,000-pound gasoline storage tank was reportedly carried 1.5 miles and dropped into a lake. Residents said the tornado “looked like red sand, boiling and rumbling.

ON THIS DATE IN 1972: The worst ice jam flooding of memory for long-time residents took place along the Kuskokwim River and Yukon River in Alaska. It was the first time since 1890 that the two rivers “flowed as one.” The towns of Oscarville and Napaskiak have been entirely inundated.

 

Lying was my issue as well. I ended up taking mine to Rivertown Toyota in Columbus, GA. I got tired of spending half a Saturday driving and waiting so I use a local guy now. Integrity is a big deal for me and Lynch no longer (at least with me) has it in my opinion. Others have had fine experiences.

 

Mornin fellas

 

Exoctic name say's it all. Had it been Gulf pink you would have had smaller but more shrimps.

Morning Phil. You got Dobinsons all around right? What UCA's you running? Just getting going A/C went out Sat. Rain expected all day so will be cooler

 

I have JBA UCA's, Dobinsons IMS fronts and HD leafs.

 

What height are you up front? I'm waiting on the 111 leafs to come in their on back order. Mike say's they will be in any day now. Will be going with the IMS and 314 springs with 111 leafs and UCA's thinking that the SPC's would my best option. looking to get 2.5" lift. Did you use the spacer or did you set lift higher?

 

I set mine at stock height. I need to adjust them up just a bit now because I have a pretty good rake. I think maybe 1/2" would do.

Right after getting it on with 255/70/17




Now with 33x10.5x17

 

All right I have 265/75/16 pretty close to 32" I have bilstein 5100 set at 1.75 up front but stock but tsb leafs in rear I sit level basicly. But being an 09 everything is sagging and worn out. Time to rehab the ol girl. New suspension, new stereo, new headlights, new seat covers or katzkins on the fence for that. Then dog platform for the Maligator and doing the ecgs bushing while in there.
.

 

I have the ECGS tool floating around. @cubie has it @rybern and @Modern.Hermit have all used it.....I haven't yet I don't mind you borrowing it, just send it back when finished
