Alabama thread!

Been a long time since I’ve posted in this group. Sadly no tacomas in Africa just Land cruisers and Hiluxs!

 

I know the feeling. Our lobby is already starting to back up

Sup Cade

Give me a 79 series LC any day of the week. I wish we could get those

 

Oh what I would do to bring these back to Bama

 

That is the absolute perfect truck

 

Just seen 1 of those special edition Tundra’s here in the parking lot.

 

pic?

 

No sir , didn’t have a chance but I did also have a copper trd tundra fly by me right before I got to work.

 

How big were the wings?

 

No sure but I think they were drinking Red Bull, so whatever wings come with it.

 

Well Amazon won’t take back the optima battery that was in transit when the car got wrecked.

 

What size is it? Will it fit any of your other rides?

 

Nope, Prius uses a weird size. I got a $300 paperweight.
I thought maybe marketplace or a Prius forum. I don’t think I’d buy a battery from someone I didn’t know.

 

Spidertrax installed. This eliminated the rubbing on the sway bar but created rubbing on the body mount. I'll do that as soon as I can. Also figured out the rear light bar mounts.







Wheel is turned slightly, not head on here. Whoops

 

Someone might buy it if you have a trade day around there.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well

 

Good morning Bama.
Had some freezing rain last night slick back deck. Going to get some winter weather stuff today and subzero temps thru Monday yeah for me.
Hope y'all have a good and safe day today and a great weekend.

 

Good morning David, be safe and stay warm.

 

Good morning everyone, have a great and blessed day.

 

Mornin fellas

 

Its in Madison at my son's house until my shop is built, got the motor finished and tuned, axles springs and shockes are under it. I plan to take the automatic transmission and dual transfer cases out of my black one and install them in the brown one when I can. I have the other transmission, modded Tracker transfer case and Dana 300 transfer case ready to put in my black one. I will have to get all the drive shafts re-cut to the lengths needed for both of them. But all that is on hold until I get my shop built.
But right now I am homeless, I finally close on my house two weeks ago. Should start the dirt work next week on my house and shop.

The Dana 300 will be a lot stronger than the Samurai case, I worry about the Samurai transfer case when I get deep in the woods. The aluminum Samurai case was made for the factory weight and 26 inch tire. Im running a lot heavier and 39 inch tires. A lot of people are using them with big tires but it still worries me.

Here is a before and after of the Dana 300, turned out pretty good.





The Dana is a steel case packed full of gears, went from factory 2.62:1 to 4.1:1 gears. Putting 3.0:1 in the Tracker case so I should have about the same crawl ratio as I have now just stronger case.

It is treating me well, finally closed on my house so everything I own is in storage. Everyday there is something I need, I know I have it but it is in one of my storage building and I don't know which one. If I remember which one it is in, I don't know where in the building it is, Hope you all are doing well.
