Alabama thread!

Yes, I do have 2 Tacomas here right now, and Dave's brother's pickup. The biggest issue I have right now is that I took a chance on a few customers and extended them credit....and all 4 of them have bailed on me. That really hurts my bottom line. Right now I am owed a little over $1200. Not a huge amount of money, but still a big deal for me. Right now I am staring at the wings of death as they start to flap. If I can't get some steady cash flow going through here soon, I am going to be in real trouble. I have now gone 4 months without drawing a paycheck. Dave, I have you to thank for keeping gas in my truck...lmao. I may have to pass on the get together in March guys. Unless you want to have it down here at the shop. Here I have 2 lifts and plenty of shop space! Hahaha.

 

Recon 10,500 winch and EMU Dakars showed up. Now waiting on the rest.

 

Well heck. I wouldn't have stressed about getting the truck down there this past Sunday if I knew that!!!

 

I got an idea! How about I come down Saturday and tear it apart and go from there! Can you tell I NEED the truck? Haha

 

Anyone know of any metal fab shops in the central alabama area? I've found a number of fab shops, but can't seem to find any that do truck/off road fab work.

 

What kind of fab work are you wanting done?

 

Mainly custom dom tubing work, though I may just pick up a pipe bender and do it myself.

 

Let me get this right, you waited several weeks after telling me that you had a wheel bearing issue, then when you get it down here you say you need the truck back really fast? I wish I could get to it faster, but I can't drop other customers work to get to it. As for coming down here and tearing it apart, it is not a matter of that, it is a matter of having an available lift for you to use. I have 4 vehicles waiting on lifts right now, and it would not be fair to them to push them aside. I was ready for your truck back when you said you initially had a problem, but 2 weeks or more later and I have more of a work load. I will get to it ASAP though.

 

Dave, if you want to think about something in Huntsville, http://www.setruck.com/.

They welded my sliders on for me and did a good job with that. They do custom fab, but I would call them before I drove up.

 

Hey guys, I am new and haven't made a post yet in the new member's forum (coming.) However, I live in birmingham and think it would be cool to have a meet up here and there.

 

welcome, i as well as several others live around the birmingham area. we tend to try to meet up every once in a while to have a drink and get some burgers or wings from time to time. in fact i think we are about due to meet up again(hint hint) so just keep an eye out in here for us talking about it and then come on out. also throw up some pics of the truck so i can keep an eye out when im driving around.

 

Awesome, sounds like my jam with beer, burgers, wings etc. I'll get some pics up in the next few days hopefully. Yeah I'd love to meet up and putt around town or whatever. I'll definitely keep an eye out!

 

what part of town are you in? b'ham is kind of general...

 

I'm in the pelham/helena area near Hwy 17 (valleydale road off 31.) I'm pretty centrally located though, Hoover, vestavia, mtn brook, are all about 15 min from me. What about you?

 

hueytown, but i know you have several that are within shouting distance to you almost. in the past we were meeting up on 280 to grab something to eat. maybe we can do that again soon??? birmingham area folks have plans friday evening? hell i will set it up if nothing else.

 

Welcome man! I'm in Montevallo, and work in Pelham. I've probably seen you around.

 

Yeah man I'm sure you have. Every taco that drives by always catches my eye and makes me wonder if its somebody from TW. I've seen several parked around the same 'compound' here, maybe one is yours?

 

Probably not. I drive a van to work, and my truck is usually in my driveway. There are Tons of Tacoma's, and many modified ones running around here that are not members. I see them constantly.

 

dave's work van so you can keep an eye out for him--

 

LMFAO!!!!
