Alabama thread!

Im always down for a meet, the only thing is i need a month advance so i can take off. otherwise my off days are usually during the week.

 

hell ya!! im so glad! Bill did out standing job. he wasn't shoving me out the door when he could fix it. he tried to do it him self but couldn't and its the thought that counts for me!! he will see the truck again next time when it needs to be fixed. just hope it won't take so long! lol. but awesome work and straight up great guy! Thanks again Bill! oh he also got me the part for the breather mod. super easy and wish i would have done it when i got it. oh well its done now. when the snorkel gets purchased i will run the breathers up in the snorkel housing.

i just want to ride. i say we try the skyway and the other places jo dog mentioned.

 

well I'm moving in with my dad and he has a nice sized area to park and meet and eat and then we can hit the place parker showed me? it will have to be in may... they have seasonal parties there so they wouldn't care if we all met up there, grill out and chill. do some modding. they got a double garage so there can be 2 parked in there. pm me if you want to get it together brian.

 

That place looks fun! Have y'all been there before though? It looks pretty damn tough! I really don't know what more we could hit other then the main roads and the easy trails.. But I guess the good thing with that is that is the Majority of the trails..

I'm down for this happening.. BUT.. The trail map says that the easy trails are accessible with MOST stock 4x4's.. So i'm assuming that means that if you have a 2wd make sure you have a locker. I want to do more then just dirt road ride.. Talledega National forest was fun but got very redundant after the first 20 minutes so I want to know how much level 2 stuff this place has.. From the way it reads it has either 1 or 3 nothing in the middle! LOL! The moderate stuff says "Lockers, Winch, and Roll cage required".. So that excludes most all of us unless Jo has a roll cage and I didn't notice! HA!

Chocco Trail Map:


EDIT: FIXED LINK!!

 

We didnt even cover half of the national forest! but i agree it gets boring getting to most of the good places, and even then when you get there your hoping for the gates to be open lol. but i will say that the underwater bridge in coosa was pretty fun. more challenging stuff's. ill post the video up when i get it done.

 

Ok just to let you know the Coosa Management area is a BIG place and if you do not have a map and are not familiar with the area you WILL get lost!! Just saying it is the kinda place to dedicate a complete day or 2 to explore. The trip Travis and I took was about 6hrs and we did not even scratch the surface. So I purpose the next Central Alabama meet to be at this location. Great trails, great camping spot, and great swimming spot also!!









Oh and btw Sylacauga was trashed by a hell of a hail storm today and guess who's truck was raped by it?? Yep I can tell some obvious spots but will probably cry on the next sunny day when I can actually tell the full extent of the carnage

 

as long as there will be food to eat I'm down

 

Pics of the hail. This is after much of it had melted.





The last about 3-5 minutes of the storm was those

 

ouch dude! maybe there isn't noticeable damage.

 

Damn Jab! That sucks. Hopefully paintless dent removal can take care of it.

I wouldn't mind going to see Chocolocco this Saturday. It would be about a 1.5 hour drive versus 3 or more to get to Talladega. Kyle, I'm sure you could probably touch a few of the blues in your truck. Wish I would have had my skids in by now. I just wonder how strict they are about the tree saver/tow strap and fire extinguisher. I have an ABC fire extinguisher I can put in the truck, but I don't currently have a strap, much less a tree saver.

 

Being called Lents because I'm upgrading to a FJ <<<<<

 

Who is? LOL! I saw that FJ the other day man.. It's pretty badass!

 

Sorry for your misfortune!!!! But seriously they are just jealous dont let it get you down!!

 

Sticker adds like 50HP!!

just got off the lift at Bills shop! it was a exciting moment to see it roll again.

 

Then i must have like 600HP! man its not that noticeable.

 

One of the WEC in AU. He's a tool, though. Could care less, haha. I finally got what I've wanted so it's all good.

 

haha 2 cars parked in their garage!!! . One side is full of and it's overflowing into the other side!!!

 

that pic was taken before all hell broke loose. but it soots me cause its out of the way. and when i get the money I'm going to put Mats detailing info on one rear window and Bills on the other. who knows maybe they will give me a discount lol jk!

it'll be cleaned.

 

Kurt, saw that comment on fb. You gotta admit it was a clever comment though.

 

choccolocco mountain looks pretty tough. Let me know how it goes this weekend josh. It will be interesting to see how your truck handles it. I'd be careful though. I dented my diff cover on a much easier trail than those a few weeks back. That place definitely looks armor necessary.
