Alabama Off-road/ Mods/ Meets Thread

sorry paul but there is no convincing me. son comes first and he is still a bit to young to go riding. but im definately wanting to go hit a trail next weekend.
you guys will have to keep an eye on weather this weekend cuz we are sup to get some storms saturday and a small flood sunday from what everyone is saying.

 

Son always first! I mean cmon look at your user name!

I'm definitely watching weather. The further in the week we get the better the forecast is getting.

Kyle, tow something down!

 

Well the good news is most of the rain is hitting south of huntsville.. LOL! OH WAIT!!

We might be able to tow your something down but not mine.. Maybe the Taco but it just chirps SO BAD!!!

 

did i miss something? I thought you wanted to get 37s

 

you did,

and btw, lets get this weekend definitely planned, my pops want to tag along

 

Alright well i'll drive the Taco out there but I have to check it out before I do.. What time would we go though.. Gotta run to Hazel Green at 8:00am..

 

Keep in mind that the Great American Park, LLC. is open this weekend in AU.

 

im off sat and sun. I still have to put my coilovers and stuff on. also knuckle seals they were a bit ate up when i had everything apart. so even though i could still ride this weekend im gonna have to sit it out. would hate to break something when im driving to destin in 2 weeks.

 

All that GAP has to offer is a MILDY entertaining perimeter trail and rock crawling, even if they have a few mild rock paths, its not group friendly. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed hanging out there every time I went, but it was because either I had my jeep, or I could do the trails in my 2wd truck and knew people with "crawlers". To be honest though, I almost hit a guy and his YOUNG daughter on their 4 wheeler on the main road because he was drunk. I don't want to be in that situation again. I had to run off the road to avoid him and he almost flipped it. He stopped and thanked me for paying attention cause he couldn't.

Seriously though, she couldn't have been over 5 years old and if I had hit them, I would have been liable because of the waver I signed. I can't legally or morally risk that again.

Kurt, I think you should come up here this weekend! Even though I drove your new car before you, I still wanna see it!

 

well come on down and I'm sure we could get a meet going.

i just want to ride some trails. I'm off tomorrow!

flooding waters huh?

 

You haven't been out there since they've renovated.. POLICE everywhere. Drug dogs and all. Further more, they've tracked over the rocks and now it's a lot more friendly for stock-toy rigs. But I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from and I very seldom attend anymore. The last time I was out there was to test out Hudson's new LandCruiser and watch a few JKs break shit. And there's a BAJA race in town this weekend that I plan to attend.

 

Like baja sae? I hated being on that team (used to be under poor management). Fucking uber capable buggy with a 10hp B&S motor. The year I was on it we won the natl championship. Felt like we didn't deserve it though.

 

My vote is Stoney, rain or shine. We will want to carry a strap with us thou. If it is good, we run it again next weekend or try something different so Justin can get in on it. My brother is going to ride with me, but I can fit 2 more if someone wants to tag along. Depending on who else goes, there may be an open front seat available once we get there.

 

I'll have three seats open, and I'll volunteer to lead, as long as someone takes me home if I break.

 

Alright guys. I will wait to see where you decide to guy anywhere close I will try to swing it. But something away I will probably pass. A 1 1/2 2 hr drive with a 4 yr old, ILL PASS! He cant sit still for that long. Im trying to get some info on skyline. There is a place in Estillfork.

 

GEEEZZZZ!!! I'll do it! What time are we talking here guys!?

 

I'll probably meet ya'll there since I'm like 2 miles off 65 so whenever is fine with me, earlier the better though

 

I haven't seen any in action yet, so, I just plan to stop by for about a hour and check it out.

 

You sir are horrible at time! Ok.. Well I am meeting that guy with wheels at 8:00am in Hazel Green then I will head home and I guess I can be at my truck at 9:00 then just leave from there.. Me and Brian will follow each other down and if you want Paul you can link up with us in Hartselle? then we'll be about 40 miles away from Stoney Lonesome..

I just hope my truck doesn't give me any problems.. I'll top off all of my fluids tomorrow..

 

I figured meeting up at 36 would be best. Things might change since my dad is going though. I'll keep ya'll posted
