Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

idc who you are, that was HILARIOUS!!!!!! I wish someone had gotten that on video because I would be laughing Everytime I watch it!

 

Okay, so my job cancelled for Saturday, and it's looking like I'll be able to make it.

 

"canceled"

 

Well finally got what I was working on completed.

Bumper built, painted, and installed.
Winch installed, wired up, and synthetic line spooled up.
Anderson connector jumper cable kit.
Center LED bar installed and wired up.

 

Nice work!
Can't wait to see how the trailer build comes out.

 

BamaToy1997:

I'm gonna need a hookup on F&R ring and pinion installs for my '81 pretty soon. What gear manufacture do you recommend? I was considering Yukon but are there any cheaper competitors that are as good. Nitro?

 

And I just realized this was in the meets thread. Lol

 

I guess I was due for a mistype eventually.

Looking good, sir! I think you should have went with the loop for it, though. It just seems like something is missing.


Still waiting for a pic of the trailer!

 

Thanks. Trailer will take some time. I plan to strip it down to the frame and clean/paint everything. Still deciding between matching the Tacoma on color, or Desert Tan cammoflage.

Can do. Yukon gears are pretty good for the price. It is what I bought for my Tacoma (4.56 ratio) You can go cheaper, but they tend to be a little weaker.

Thanks! I have the loop. I just didn't have a cutter for matching the angle of the top plate. Still trying to decide for sure, but yeah, it will eventually go on there.

As for the trailer, I pic it up next week. I will post some pics then.

 

need a skid plate. I just realized it too! I have the ARB splash plate but right beneath that is just bare IFS. Debating on making my own custom one or buying one. Anybody have any good options or opinions on one?

 

With your drop kit, it will most likely have to be custom.

 

That's what I was afraid of. Sounds like a day of measuring and fabbing tomorrow. Well......Darn hahaha

 

I don't think I have ever seen a skid plate with a DB lift. Even on the Chevys and fords. It's about 7:30 and I'm waiting on the slow poke brother, gonna stop by the shop and grab my cooler, then I'll be headed that way.

 

I have seen one, and it looked terrible because of the drop bracket.

 

I'm on my way. About 10-15 late. Sorry

 

I'll probably just go through you for it all.

Do I need to call for a quote or can you PM me a one for 2 sets of Yukon 4.88s for Toyota 8" 4cyl differentials plus the install. I will bring you my 3rds so all you'll have to do it the R&P, bearing, seals, etc. I'll be putting it back in the truck reinstalling axles, driveshaft, etc.

 

I don't have many pictures, but I do have this one. It's the dirtiest my truck has ever been and has greatly impressed me today. I do hope someone got a video of me going through a hole I didn't think I would get out of.

 

Thanks for a fun time out wheeling with all of you guys and ladies. Nice picture Matt. Alex, thanks for letting me make your day, (winching me out that is). Dave, Wade and Bill had a great watching you guys go up and through knarly stuff.

 

Everybody here had fun. Kids took a nap on the way home and are now wide awake! Lol

 

Have fun with that!
