Alabama thread!

hahaha

Now we just need kyle to pop in and say something that could be taken completely differently than what he meant like "This new one I got is so much thicker!"

 

Don't forget his pink jeep with bald tires. I think he already did paint the truck black and green because we never see him anymore!

 

well guys, was driving the truck home tonight from eating dinner and I hear clanking on the driver front. I stick my head out the window and I see the front wheel wobbling. I guess it's time for a wheel bearing, upper and lower ball joints. Damn, he has tore the front end up with these 35's. IDK if I will have the money to buy 2 new 2nd gen offroad rims or not.
Anybody wanna buy some BFG km2's or trade for 2nd gen offroad rims????

 

Soon! Let me get thru welding school and a few jobs to save up and SAS and I'll come back!

 

dang. how long is that gonna take?

 

decades

 

Supercharger vs armor (Bumper, winch, sliders, skids)? What do y'all think?

I can pretty much get one or the other with my tax return.

 

You have the 3.4L, I'd do armor.

 

^^ x2, unless of course you want to make diy armor???? b/t me and you we can weld it if you get access to a welder and a tubing bender. but i think the charger is just going to introduce a whole new line of issues. putting in more power to an older truck plus extra induction = extra compression on a truck that has just a couple miles on it. i believe a charger would just put you back in a shop replacing "the next thing down the line" until you replaced all the weak links. but as always just my uneducated .02

 

Both good points, thanks for the input.

 

I thought I did respond.. My bad.. LOL! Responded now!

Yeah I rattle canned it. And for touch up I used Rustoleum Textured Black and it is a PERFECT match to the Rustoleum Bedliner!

That actually is very true Paul! With the up coming overhaul.. It is going to be a lot thicker then my other one!

Here's a little Preview..

 

It works for me..

 

It's working now

 

Classes are 2.5 months and a decent out of state job will last about the same maybe shorter or longer then I'll be ready so maybe 7-8 months tops, 5-6 hopefully though.. Gonna bring another Carolinean to wheel too

 

nope still nothing. are you sure your leap pad is hooked up to the interwebs???

 

Agree 100%. After having done boosted hondas, acuras, and nissans with friends in high school and college, I can tell you Justin is spot on.

It's lots of fun, and it'll definitely give it more power. Usual chain of events with the hondas was boost, cv axles, brakes, troubleshoot low compression somewhere, internals, head work, then solid.

That said, we weren't dealing with any "kits" or doing anything what I'd call "the right way" so we probably f'd some stuff up here and there. Either way, more power more problems, in general.

Go for armor and recovery stuff.

 

Just out curiosity I'll be selling my ultra gauntlets soon. 17x9's 4.5bs I wanna run 255's and can't with a 9" wheel. Ill post pics, or you can look in my build.in decent shape minus the rock rash. Not sure what the tag will be on them. But just throwing that out there to the bama guys.

 

I've also considered this:

Yeah dude either that or the armor. I mean, I'm super happy with my supercharger, but mainly because I didn't have enough power to start with and got a hell of a deal on it. Do something else!

Or get the SAS kit and DIY some armor as you can, it'd be cheaper that way... then you get both!
