Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

Yeah I think I'll be fine. About how long is the trail.

 

Not trying to be a dick but i wouldnt even try to get the 35s on before you go. To do it right, its going to take a long time and its nice not having to be in a hurry. Your gonna have to pull the shock and test fit the tire multiple times and then seal it up because you will most likely end up tearing the pinch weld to where you can see inside the cab. Plus your going to have to trim the fenders front and rear which took me a very tedious 2-3 hours. Not trying to ruin your hopes, just trying to help so you dont get in over your head and then not be able to make it wheeling.

 

Kyle, you want to head down Sunday?

 

well there are multiple trails...it can be done in half a day but that is with 2 people. i went with a groupd of 4-5 and did half of it.

well i will probably trim some on fenders and front bumper, about 1"-2" for some more flex and also to get rid of the the fender damage on the driver front. i do plan on glassworks in maybe a month or 2 keep it on the DL!!! also plan on hammering the rest of the pinch weld and some of the inner fender. i dont plan on doing it all day. just till everybody gets to the house and chit chat for a few. then head out. did you have to do anything in the rear fenders?

 

for the glass fenders how big yall think i should go? 3.5" or 4.5"
EDIT: its either glasswork fenders, warn m8000 pound winch, snorkel, regear front and rear, or lockers...im going be putting in over 50 hours next few months so ill be able to save since i will be working more than usual

 

regear and lockers.

 

also i just posted this in the bama thread, but i could bring a grill and burgers and hotdogs to cook while we are out there. somebody and another could bring drinks and ice. i mean i know its not a big meet but i always get really hungry out there.
EDIT: but by sunday morning before who ever is going shows up i can get the burgers. lemme know if yall wanna make some burgers.

 

If you can fit them, then can we put them on mine? I'll crank the torsion bar up some.
On a side note we are going to trussville this weekend right? If so, I can meet yall by the BP on 119 going to leeds.

 

I'm still not certain how long I'll be able to stay out, so I was just going to pack a small cooler for myself. How old are you guys?

 

Im gone see if i can get off sunday and maybe i can make it, i may can work something out.

 

cool. what time you wanna come over? 19....and 21 in some occasions

you better!!

 

I mostly trimmed on the rear fenders. I didnt have to do much to the front as far as trimming goes besides the front bumper and kinda flared the fender towards the door at the corner if that makes any sense.

The rear you will need to do the whole thing or it will rub purty bad. I actually didnt take enough out. I only trimmed an inch and it still rubbed. I would recomend getting as close to the gas cap as you can, say 2-3'', and then just trim that much on the passenger side also.

Good luck, it took me a solid day but i wasnt in a very big hurry at all.

This x100000

 

okay cool, not to bad. haha 4.88s and locker(s)

 

You coming parker?

 

He's too good for us now. I can't even get him to go wheeling with me anymore.

 

37

He keeps popping in a posting a comment, but doesn't want to talk to us.

 

HA HA you're old............ dont forget to take your metamucil and record murder she wrote!!

 

Hey Justin, do you see a difference in MPG between your duratracs and your daily tires?

 

yep but not much because when i switched to my daily drivers i also switched my daily drive. no more interstate. but according to my ultragauge i picked up .5 mpg, i still need to calibrate it though for tire size, but then it shouldnt matter since i run the same on the authorities as i do the DD.

main advantage is the smoother ride and less road noise.

 

what's a good time?

Looks like we are both approaching his age! laugh now i guess.. lol..
