Alabama thread!

Sent. Was waiting on call back from parts suppliers. Motorcycle parts are NOT that easy to locate without going to dealers. Had to do some hunting.

 

Sold my toolbox today to a guy with a badass 93 taco. It was completely rhinolined red. I told him he needed a lift and he said lifts were like 2500 bucks for that truck. I informed him that he could lift it for relatively cheap and told him about the site. We'll see if he joins

 

YAY! Maybe someone else with a pre-taco! Well atleast in the Alabama thread...

 

Fleas are rampant about now.. check your bestfriends. (not your right hand)

 

I broke the lugnut key taking a wheel off my truck. The lugs are all loose and I have no way to tighten (or complete the hub-centric ring installation I was doing) w/o the key.

Does anybody have a key for lugs like the ones below? I'm in the Vestavia Hills (Birmingham) area. My truck is out of commission until I can get one.

Please PM me if you can help.

 

you might have to check your right hand... they aren't called fleas thought....
My best friend, my dog, takes a pill every month!
EDIT: ok i read that and it didn't sound the way i meant for it too... BUT i'll leave it up here and let everyone get a kick out of it!

 

try going to a tire place and see if they have one you can borrow. of coarse leave something of value to you with them so they know you will return!

 

Too late for that tonight, but I'll try that tomorrow.... I was hoping somebody here could meet me tonight... It might be a long shot, but you never know.

 

true idk of anyone with one like that but my brother has a key for the lock on his lugs. we can see if they will fit. lemme go get me cellular!


oh i pulled this off your pics. if you mind let me know. I just thought i could share it....

I bet it still runs!

 

Same crap happened to me. I called a rim shop and went to pick one up. I believe it was in homewood, although it was slightly expensive.

 

Thanks, bud. I appreciate it. You can tell him it's a spline drive socket, like the one for sale here (which I just ordered).

 

I broke 2. Now have 4 as back-up.

 

They're only $6 plus shipping Any chance you're around and I could borrow it from you? I'll buy you a brand new one AND give you your old one back (assuming it's not broken when I'm finished).

 

i just rememberd. my brother's key has round lips on them... damnit.... lol
not square ones.

 

Well thanks anyway. I'll get it fixed.

 

Matt, I have one lying around somewhere. If you don't get one by tomorrow shoot me a pm.

 

If not you can hammer on a deep socket metric (try 14-16 range)

 

Thanks... I'll let you know

 

Travis!!!!!!! Post pics!!!!
