Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

Nice video. I want to go out there with you guys sometime, just don't know how well a 2WD will do.

 

Just joined TW yesterday. Good to see some local people. Roll tide.

 

Welcome

 

Being this is a local thread I'll throw it out there. I have a set of neoprene camo Wet Okole seat covers for sale. Bought them about 8 months ago for my 2013 DC. Includes front and back covers and headrest covers. I'm asking $400 OBO. If anyone is interested hit me with an offer. I'm brand new to all this so try to keep the TW LINGO to a min. Don't understand it all yet. Will post pictures.

 

Hey momo, what you saw in the video is after a storm a couple days before. It is usually dry out there when we try to go but most of the time we have the date set and it rains that week. Usually it isn't as muddy as what you saw. The last part, you can go around that hole but I couldn't because I kept sliding into a tree so I said screw it, I'll try it. Was going to originally set down in the hole and get winches out, but I saw an opportunity and got out on my own. I am gonna say, it surprised all of us when I got out. Everyone there was expecting a winch out at the spot.

 

lol....you coated those trees...ha

 

I know' my mom said I did and I had to watch it for myself!

 

I have to come with ya'll the next time ya'll go out! That video made me wanna go so bad!

I hope I'm finished with my lift and tire by then! Not too much left!

 

Looks like you guys had a decent little trip.

Alex, what do you think of the 2nd gen wheeling compared to the 1st?

 

You should look up some of my previous videos from the same place. I have a few of them on YouTube.

 

He is actually getting stuck more often. Idk if that's because he isn't giving it the skinny pedal or he doesn't want to mess this one up. Oh, i know what it is!!!! He is paying for this one! jk

 

looked to me like someone doesnt know how to properly engage 4wd in a second gen... maybe a little sit down time with the manual is in order. pretty sure the very first thing it says is DO NOT ENGAGE WHILE NOT MOVING. but that is just a little something I noticed, and after all what do i know?? Im the guy who takes his stuff on things that everyone including himself know the truck cant make.... and then makes it.

btw, Dave you need Tars!!! alabama still doesnt like red letters.

 

Your gonna use that as a reference now, aren't you?
I also think he was engaging 4lo and the locker. If you notice right before he moves, the truck jumps a little bit

 

nope, not gonna use that as reference, just saying you had to try and validate your jab towards me by quoting how you made it through a mudhole, figured i would need a reference to be able to speak in your presence. also if you actually pay close enough attention you will see the front tires spin up a bit before it grabs and moves the truck and when he first approaches the hill he is in 2wd because the back end is trying to walk while the front is just sitting still. so whether he is in 4wd hi or 4lo and locked it still means he switched from 2 to 4 at a dead stop, 2nd gen front diffs and transfer cases dont like that at all, this is the only point i was trying to make. just trying to let him know bc i know he is used to the 1st gen where it actually is easier to switch at a stop than rolling.

 

What's up guys haven't been on n awhile so I figured I would give an update

 

When is the next meet
