Alabama thread!

Yea i really wishd I wouldve got synthetic so much lighter and easier to handle, i was just worried itd ruin out in the weather and mine was free with my arb so.... that helped the decision.

 

Yea rope is just as strong as steel cable and does not kink. Also weight savings is good. I need new rope though mines about had it.

 

Just upgrade to rope when you have the money!

 

Big thing nobody has mentioned. Synthetic is also mush safer. It breaks and falls instead of snapping and flying at high speed in the event of a failure

 

South Alabama here! Hows the virus affecting y'all?

 

Yea but damn that ropes expensive, id also have to buy an offset hawse to fit my arb.

 

Welcome to the thread!

Coronavirus has not affected my family as of now, and hope it never does. Working as usual.

 

Haha, looking forward to it.

Yes it is. From the prices I've seen(~$350-400), you can nearly purchase a whole new winch.

 

@tweakit88 mentioned a good rope that’s like $100 bucks. I think he uses it.

 

Yea i thought about buying that winch i tagged you in and selling mine, but its also prolly easier to reline mine rather than take my bumper off.

 

Awesome. Please share details. Smitty 9500 for $259+ $100 rope is substantially cheaper than the alternative.

 

Make sure you get a good rope, that is for sure one place you don't want to cheap out on if you plan on offroading much, a lot of the cheaper ones will break. My Smittybilt rope has pulled a lot of people out of some hard places.

 

Anyone have OME 887 springs they need to get rid of?

 

70lb. CV, Inner and Outer tie rod, SPC ball joint, 2 u-joints, hitch receiver shackle, 2 Shackles, 1 soft shackle 2 doublers, tree saver, winch controller. Edit: and a fan belt.

Case doesn’t quite like the pulleys or shackles for height, but it closes fine.

@stronghammer replaced the tubes on my bike today.

 

Tubes?!

 

Yeah, you know the things that go inside the tires to hold air.

 

My driver’s back window has always rattled when you shut the door with the window down. I just always thought something was loose or off track. Today I took it apart to install sound deadening and discovered this.

driver’s sideroblem

passenger’s side: correct


It looks like the factory left out some weatherstripping in the door that guides the window when down.

Any suggestions on a fix?

Edit: Found Toyota part number and ordered. $18

 

Damn near ripped my bumper off before it broke. Im super impressed with it and will get it again.
