Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

Oh, didn't see y'all go across there. I know Justin just went and got on the interstate. Well I guess I went fast for no reason! Lol

Thanks for busting my bubble about the rock crawling!

 

Guys, I have been wheeling for close to 25 years, and have been with some very impressive drivers, and trucks. I have been driving, watching, and spotting in places like Tellico, Jellico, Florida swamps, Texas trails, and Tennessee/North Carolina Mountains. Saying this I will have to say that this weekends outing has been the most enjoyable one I have ever been to when I have not driven my own truck!

All of you guys (and ladies) who were there made this event a memorable one.
Dave- Thanks bro. You have been a great friend that I know I can say will have my back.
Paul- As always, your jeep reminds me of mine, and how much fun the Jeeps can be. Great trail leading man!
Brian- You always make some of those trails look so simple. You were a great host last year, and a great trail runner.
Kyle- Thank you to you and your friend for hosting this year's event. Great food, and a great pair of hosts!
JDog- Great driving man! I didn't get to talk to you much on this run, but you have an awesome truck!
Justin- Thanks for coming! Your truck is one of the best looking new trucks I have seen. Great job and I love the spare carrier!
Matt- Saved you for last for a reason. Matt, I have seen some really good drivers run trials, and some other guys with YEARS of driving experience who did not have the natural skill that you seem to have for the rocks. I was quite impressed with your driving, and how perfectly you follow and trust your spotter. Not once did I see you look out the window. You followed spotter directions with trust. That makes a great driver! I was quite impressed man.

To everyone else that rode with us, thanks for coming! I am bad with names, so please don't be offended if I don't remember yours. I either never did hear it, or just forgot. That is what I get at my age. Hahaha. It was nice meeting everyone that I haven't met before. Thanks for coming. I don't have a whole bunch of photos, but I will upload the few that I do have soon.

AWESOME GROUP!!!

 

That's what I'm here for.

 

wish I could have made it. be sure to upload pics and vids guys

 

Couldn't have said it better, myself.

Bill did most of my GoPro work while I was driving. He got some awesome shots! Currently editing!


Can't wait to see what Brian got on his!

 

Thanks Bill, that really boosts my ego! lol

 

As for the mini meet for Alex's homecoming, I am thinking April 27th. What is y'all's take on that? Either that, or May 4th. I am thinking the slab where we can wheel all day, stop and cookout for lunch and maybe swim, if the weather permits. What do y'all think? I will try and get out and look for some more trails or if anyone knows of anywhere else that they wanna go, pm me and we can set up a day and time to scope it out. I don't want skyway because that seems like a couple hour trail ride. I want to be out there all day. Meet up, eat breakfast in the morning and go wheel and swim the rest of the day!

 

I can't do the 27th. It's my daughters birthday. I should be available for the 4th though.

 

Either weekend would be fine with me, but if we can try to make some meets to be done on Sunday, I would appreciate it. It is difficult for me to close up my shop on Saturdays.

 

Sunday might work, depends if the wife wants to skip church that morning. Or if anyone else does

 

So I have almost an hour of video. After reviewing it multiple times, I've decided there is just to much to edit down to 15 min for YouTube. Instead, I'm just going to upload 4 unedited videos. I think I may also make a highlight video that's within YouTube's time limit.

 

Welcome to my world and then you get to deal with super long upload times to youtube.

 

WHERE ARE THE VIDEOS

 

Patience young grasshopper! The electrons in the computers must develop themselves into a proper union before they may fully realize their potential and find their rightful home.

translation: It takes time to edit/upload videos, so hold your horses! hahaha.

 

This is the only video I shot. Everything else Dave has on his GoPro. This is the poor Jeep blowing a rear universal.

Start to my photos. Still uploading to PB.

 

Awesome pics Bill! I had no idea you were snapping shots while shooting video lol

 

well sadly I do not have any pics to share...... heck i forgot to even grab my camera before i left the house.... I fail!

 

I was leading and dealing with my ceiling light falling constantly. I didn't even think to take pictures.

 

Yeah, that's going to be the fun part.

Awesome!

Yes, Fail!

Fail, too!
