Alabama thread!

Seems that always happens. When we shut the office from Christmas Eve to Jan 2nd I think yea man I'm going to lay back and relax. Play some Xbox etc. etc. Next thing I know I've realized all this crap that I need to do then boom! Right back to work on Jan 2nd. I'm busier when I'm off than I am when I have to work.

 

Sorry guys. My middle childs birthday party is this saturday. Then next weekend my folks are visiting from Mi. Then the next weekend is my youngest birthday party. Then i hope to god i get some free time after that. Adulting is getting exhausting.

 

Hmmmmm it might be worth it. Then i dont have to spray paint them.

 

Wouldve given me a complex about my hair anyway.

 

Hey @Otis1382 how bad were your tailgate inserts to put on. Does the soapy water trick actually work?

 

Yes it does. It's an old tinting method.

 

Easy. Yes. Supposedly takes 24 hours to completely set according to the instructions. There was a chance of rain so I used my wife's "heat gun" to speed up the process

 

It was easy, I just sat back and watched my wife work. She did use the soapy water trick, it was pretty easy looking from what I could tell

I'll just leave this here

 

***warning **** parts porn! UCA's now have some friends. *edit* forgot to tag @HeadStrong Off-Road thanks for the help!

 

No. Cause I'm going to get Foxes or something just because now.

 

Except where you hit that log and yanked your driveshaft out of the tranny?

 

I'm good with that. I realize that might be a drive for @Sandytaco14 . it was the place I was originally thinking of when I said bbq afterwards. every time I head out there I pass by a place called Augusts Bbq. always seems busy and they have a patio...and beer. Let me know when, where, and time. Have a buddy that wants to ride a long. anyone else?

 

Talladega national forest? Am I correct in that?

 

I started cleaning up a little last night. The pile has shrunk from 8" high on my workbench down to 4".

 

wife and kids just got home so I showed her the shocks. I was outside so I was showing where they would go. she was asking if they would fit because how much bigger they are. then the price. "how much were those again?" she asks.
"uhhh....$400?" I reply.
her "that's for the front too, right?"
me "um, no".
her "how much for the fronts?" now I cant post final prices but the list is 16xx I think with a 18% discount so y'all can do the math.
Me " um, $1xxx?".
her. "I think I should get all the money from your wheels and tires"

 

Yes

 

Ive never done vinlys before or tint for that matter. Is it bad that i feel more comfortable tearing an engine down and rebuilding it than i do putting vinyls on.

 

Show me how to work on an engine/break one down and Ill help you with vinyl stickers. Deal?
