Alabama thread!

Welcome to the thread! We're having a meet on the 29th of October (down in Birmingham), mainly to discuss our trip to Moab, but you're more than welcome to come!

 

So.....don't want to get too excited...but this guy should have a new front bumper on next Friday

 

Welcome and Roll Tide! @JKU3000 stop trying to damage someone who is clearly already damage with that front tag!! haha . Nice ride @Potterman

 

Sounds a lot like the needle bearing. If you are driving straight, switch the truck to 4x4 and see if it disappears. If so, it is the needle bearing.

Thanks for the compliment! Shoot me a pm and we can talk some details.

I have high hopes for them since they market to be a custom set of leaf springs. Requesting 2.5" lift from stock and 500# nominal load, so they should ride rough empty, but I like a truck to ride like a truck. They are supposed to be tuned to remove Taco lean.

 

@TacoAlaMode it only does it at 65+ mph so I can't really test it that way lol

 

Might go ride at the slab this Sunday afternoon if anyone wants to tag along.

 

I may be able to join, depending on what time.

 

Do you make these?

 

No, just holsters and furniture ha

 

Not for sure yet, moving furniture into the house Friday and Saturday so it depends on how far I get.

 

When I first got my truck I didn't want any lift and wanted something around 3-500lbs over stock, can't remember exactly. With just a topper on the leafs sat negative and with a load it would slam the bumps over any bumps. When I called and talked to the owner let's just say he's a dick.

 

@stronghammer i just realized you they guy who started the taco map love the idea and it was actually the first thing I seen when I got started on here

 

Just wanted to say hi and I'm new to the forum and that I finally found the Alabama thread. I'm from Birmingham and have a 2007 X-runner I just bought and an 86 Hilux that's been in the family since it was new.

 

Welcome

 

Love the blue XRunners, my favorite Satoshi was for one.

 

Welcome man! Nice looking X-Runner!

I'd love to see a pic of that Hilux, too!

 

Haha thank you! It took on a lot of steam fast but just slowly gets a little participation here and there. I still like to go back and look at just how many people are across the country on here.

Love your xRunner! Never been able to talk to anybody who owns and DD's one, but what's your typical mpg?

 

Alright, Alabama folks I need your help. Work and stuff has kept me and my friends busy lately but we have to do a bachelor trip. My friend is getting married November 19th and we are shooting for the weekend of October 22nd right now. No, we don't want the typical "party/strippers/get drunk" type thing. Example: last year we did another friends bachelor trip and it was a weekend in gulf shores and we went deep sea fishing. I am a TERRIBLE trip planner and never actually planned a bachelor trip. What is something awesome we can do for a weekend (Friday-Sunday) that doesn't take immense amounts of planning or prep and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Help a brother out.

 

Go to the beaux rivage in biloxi. Planning done. Your going to spend money anyway. Gamble drink free booze and party like your 19

 

we have been discussing a camping/atv riding sort of weekend with the bros, problem is we don't have atvs. I'm the only one with any sort of off road vehicle actually (I know my friends are shameful). Do any of you guys know somewhere we can camp for the weekend and rent atvs/dirt bikes or whatever and fish and whatnot?
