From AlabamaWX

CALMER DAY: A cold front is pushing through far South Alabama early this morning… it will bring colder air down into the state today with a clearing sky. Despite sunshine this afternoon… most places north of Birmingham won’t get out of the 40s. The average high for Birmingham on February 18 is 60. Tonight will be clear and cold; temperatures will drop into the upper 20s by daybreak tomorrow.

The weekend will feature sunny days with a warming trend… the high tomorrow will be in the upper 50s, followed by low 60s Sunday.

NEXT WEEK: A very wet period is likely for much of next week for Alabama and the Deep South. A northward moving warm front will bring rain into the state Monday. By Tuesday, the front should be near the Tennessee state line, and temperatures will rise into the 70s across Alabama with showers possible; the heaviest rain Tuesday should be north of the front across parts of Arkansas and Tennessee. Mild, showery weather continues Wednesday and Thursday, and then a cold front will bring a chance of stronger storms into the state Thursday night. Too early to know if this will be a severe weather setup.

Some guidance suggests rain amounts will be around 5 inches next week across the Tennessee Valley of far North Alabama, with around 3 inches for places like Tuscaloosa/Birmingham/Anniston/Gadsden. This could be some flooding issues next week… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.





STORM SURVEYS: NWS Birmingham is sending survey teams into the field today to review damage around Boley Springs in Fayette County, Graysville in Jefferson, and along Highway 119 from Greystone to Leeds. We will know later today how many tornadoes touched down, and their rating.

ON THIS DATE IN 1992: A thunderstorm spawned a powerful F4 tornado for so far north for the time of the year in southern Van Wert County in Ohio. The tornado touched down just west of US Route 127 and traveled northeastward for about 3 miles. One house was completely leveled, and nine others experienced severe damage. Six people were injured.

ON THIS DATE IN 2021: Cold, Arctic air covered Alabama… and snow amounts of 2-5 inches were common across counties like Madison, Limestone, Morgan, Lauderdale, Cobert, Lawrence, Marion, and Winston.

 

good thing i got ne mt on my truck. TBH theres more rocks so it wont be that bad. Should have a good day to dry out.

 

Relocated the Resi for 35’s they were touching them at full lock with body roll

 

Nice. Will the zip ties hold them? The heat doesn’t bother them?

 

no clue, ive got extra just in case.

 

I used some small chain links I cut up and welded them to the frame as resi mounts, then fed the reg worm gear clamps. Quick and easy. Two chain links per side will keep it from flopping

 

Im gonna fab up something a little better probably but Ive got too much going on in garage right now so i just zip tied lol. Thats a good idea though.

Therese a little hole for the end cap to fit into so it doesn't move around. You can see it in pic near radiator. Also the frame notch is nice for the rip tie to mount around.

 

I had mine up on top like that for a bit, but if you ever do UCA gussets they will be in the way. Zip ties will hold fine I’d imagine

 

No UCA gusset but i do have JD fab double shear steering and spindle gusset kit on the way!

 

Nice. When you do the spindle gussets make sure the top part will clear your tires. I had to shave mine just a tiny bit since I am running 4.5” backspacing. Would be a good idea to test fit before burning it on if you have similar backspacing

 

Thanks for the tip. will do! On next bonus in July im going to get the slide rack. Pumped lol. I do need to flush my system as well.

 

Thought about going that route, but no boots kind of scares me. I’m still on my factory rack so I won’t be upgrading anything until it becomes a major problem. If I do it’ll likely be full hydro and be done with it since it’ll be trailered.

 

Ive got a plan for the boot situation . Youll have to wait and see ive already thought that through. Hopefully it works lol.

 

I hope it does, seems like a lot less trouble than hydro. That’s really my only concern with it. I’m on a “strict” don’t fix unless it’s broken diet after all this shit though. We will see how long that lasts

 

Zip ties and duct tape are what my shitbox is built with. Indestructible!!!!
