Alabama thread!

Yeah, about like last time most likely

 

Go Vols!!

 

you must be lost

 

Just trolling around lol

 

So question since a number of you seem to do some fun off roading, any recommendations on things I should get that wouldn't be overkill for someone new to it?

I was thinking something like ARB Weekend Recovery kit and a Shackle Hitch but didn't know what else.

$329 ARB 4x4 Accessories RK11 Essentials Recovery Kit

Traction boards for sure.

 

You could use a hi lift jack, it can work as a jack and a winch so you get two uses for one price.

 

You don’t have to have armor lift the tire put rocks or logs fill the hole drive out, less than 100$ were that kit was 270ish.

 

I have a friend with a Jeep Galdiator that I'll go out with. I also thought I would see if I could join up with some of you guys that like to go if ya don't mind. I'm not planning on going out alone. I don't want to go without some at least basics and be mostly useless.

I had ACL replacement surgery 6 weeks ago so I'm still a couple of months from being able to do an activity like this.

 

Me and little man went over to the Tuskegee National Forest and road some trails this morning. Nothing like you Huntsville guys do but, my speed. Had a great time and found a few awesome camping/kayaking spots.

 

The best thing you can do is find a few people that offroad often and join them for a few rides. See what they use and what modification they have made that they actual use. There is so many things you can buy that you will never use. Just go ride is the best advise you will get. The guys that ride often are almost always willing to help you if you need help. Watch what they use and go from there.

 

Just keep a check in here for offroad trips, you are welcome to ride on any trip I go on.

 

Went looking at a few new Tacomas today but didn’t see anything that caught my eye, but oh man they are pricy lol. I need to find a dealership with a bigger selection than what the one I went to had.

 

Geaux Tigers.

 

Hoover, a few in Pelham/Alabaster, and some out towards Irondale. Let me know!

 

hoover toyota and serra toyota probably have best selection NEW within 50 miles of Bham.

I suggest creating a separate email just for truck buying and email every dealership within 100 miles with the EXACT build you want and let the bidding war start.
That only works well however if buying new, and don't have a trade in.

 

@TN_TacoSupreme works for a dealership in Nashville; he’s a good guy and a Tacoma lover. Plenty of selection and no Southeast Toyota BS to deal with when shopping in Tennessee too.

 

Appreciate it! @InfernoChalupa has me going to see his friend Tuesday so if this doesn’t pan out I’ll be in touch

 

I can also hook you up with my guy here at Team One Toyota. My family has been buying from this same dealership for over 30 years now, so we can get some deals. Just PM if you're really interested.

 

I had similar issues. I ended going to the two here around Montgomery to figure out what I wanted and then did my own search. I found 3 of them in Tennessee and all three dealers there seemed more willing work a deal with me.
