Alabama Mod Day July 9th and 10th

We are having a mod day at my house in Coosa County July 9th and 10th. There’s 32 acres to play on and camp if you want. There’s one garage space empty and a concrete patio that should fit two trucks. Plenty of flat grass and gravel spots if there are a lot of people working. Please bring jack stands and jacks if you can.

I’ve cut some trails here we can wheel on. The Talladega National Forest is about a 15 minute drive, so we can sneak over and swim or ride if folks want to. Hopefully someone more qualified than I will grill haha. There’s a Piggly Wiggly and Dollar General about 5 minutes from the house. Good BBQ downtown. Not much else in town. Closest hotel would be in Sylacauga or Alex City which are about 15 minutes away.

People are more than welcome to camp and we have some good spots to do so. Most of y’all already know we are renovating the house, so it’s not easy on eyes right now haha.

I’m open to ideas and suggestions on what we can do to have a good event. I hope this has a big turn out and becomes a good time with lots of friends!

Please RSVP here! Edit: Forgot to update the rsvp but oh well haha

Camping and parking spots (or camp in the woods off the trail)




Enjoy the view!

 

I should be in. I'm off from the 30th-20th, but we have zero help for 5 of my 8 normal days. If they will let me cash in 200hrs of ETO(I'm sitting at 470+) at full price(they changed it to only giving 40% of the value a year or so ago). I should have a definite by the 5th. I will be shocked if they agree to it b/c they don't have to help with no staff. We also can only bank 500hrs...after that....you donate it back to the company rather than them paying you for it. I refuse to give money back, so that's why I'm having to take time off.

 

Holy crap that’s a lot of OT haha I don’t blame you for not letting it go to waste. Use it or lose it!

 

I use to just cash-in 100hrs and buy something completely un-needed , but that was when they give us full value. I'm not cashing in 100hrs and only getting paid for 40. That's insane.

 

No freaking way haha I’m surprised they can get away with that legally. I guess having the option to take the time off is their way out.

 

No clue. I can't lose the insurance, so no way would a push the envelope and then get let go

 

I’m in.

 

Would love to come but we are going to Harrisburg that weekend for Anna’s family get together!

 

Aw man, that’s a bummer, but family time is always good! Y’all have fun, I’m sure we will do another one.

 

We may be there! Brian has my new suspension in his garage, so I'll have to get it from him before your mod day. Simple plug and play, front coilovers and rear shocks.

 

Heck yeah! Would be good to have y’all!

 

You done the ECGS bushing install yet? I'm thinking of doing mine, I mean there's nothing wrong with my current one, but after I lift my front 2.5", I'd like to get this bushing installed. I think Phil has the puller tool too.

 

I do have the tool.

 

Have you changed out your bushing already?

 

Yeah I did one before I regeared. I sold the seal and bearing puller though. Nothing complicated. Bring some diff fluid and maybe a new seal just in case.

 

Nope I've had it sitting around since I bought the lift.

 

How much lift did your front get when we installed your suspension? No vibrations?

 

We set mine at stock length. This is what it looks like with 33x10.5



It's got a good bit of rake now that I don't have any weight in the bed
