Alabama thread!

Just outta curiosity how much? I'm looking at 4 1" ones right now and may take these off your hands perhaps.

 

Depending on how my new wheels sit I may also be selling my 1.25" spydertraxx spacers too guys. @justinalldredge19 had first claim at them I do believe when I ordered the wheels, but wheel keep you updated.

 

oh and @BAMATOY your 4Runner looks great now! Love the lift on it, and don't worry I have enough stickers for the both of us.

 

They have the nuts and everything that come with them. I'd take $150

 

Does the AL crew here every get together and hit any trails that aren't just "muddin". I hate mud...

 

Just wanted to reintroduce myself to TW (former 13 SC Baja owner) and new to the Alabama thread. I just got to Huntsville a few weeks ago and will be working in the area for about a year. Look forward to meeting some locals and hopefully finding time to hit some trails etc. in the area.

 

Looking like lots of interest for a meet/ride. We need to set a date a little further out to give everybody prep/plan time. All we've been doing is spur of the moment stuff it seems haha.

 

all this talk about going riding is just making me want to go worse! we need to get something set in place soon!

 

seems like we have some new names in this thread too who are motivated to go. hopefully soon!

 

Unfortunately, most everywhere around he will have a little mud. How you drive it depends on how bad it gets. The slab has some decent small hill climb areas, but there are a couple of places where you will get wet. The creek wash at the end is nice to clean everything up.

Stoney has a lot of places that aren't mud unless you turn left at the beginning and stay close to the creek. That was the infamous Paul's dive on our first trip down there and I've stuck mine in a section just big enough to get the front and back wheels in it.

I forget the name of the place down in Jacksonville (Morris Mountain???), but I do want to go back. I don't remember any mud there. Nice wide trails, had some good hill climbs for sure.

Welcome aboard. This is the main thread from which the event specific threads will pop out of. We should be creating a May 28th offroad meet thread soon.

 

We all hate mud, unfortunately it's part of every off road trip. There is no avoiding it here.

Edit: it appears @TacoAlaMode got in right before me.

 

A few mud puddles won't bother me but if the main point of a wheeling trip is to get slap ass drunk and yell "yeehaw" while driving into a mud pit over and over I'll pass

Other wise I'd be down for a meetup/wheeling trip! Anything to get me out of Mobile for the day/weekend!

 

Yeah as much as I love slinging some mud, I now have a 2WD and would hate to be the drag of the group and get stuck constantly.
BUT, if the consensus is that the trails aren't too bad and manageable, I could go. Will keep an eye out for more updates!

 

Don't worry if you are getting left behind I will be right there with you

 

I don't blame ya. I have no interest in those either.

My first Taco was a pre-runner and I did pretty good. I did tons of wheeling in it. If you want to do the crazy stuff, just need more momentum!

If you get stuck a lot, it makes for good video.

 

Here are my Slab compilations. Dave has a few too.

First video hangs the first 30 seconds.

Okay I called my brother to put the bug in his ear about going. He has a great idea of using my truck to tow his 4WD '84 there and back.
That'd keep my daily driven truck out of trouble but bringing his to wheel with would be much more fun.

 

Also I would really really like to nail down a date. He would need to request off so the earlier, the better.

 

For me I would love to lay down a Saturday in June if possible for going on a ride. Every saturday in May is booked right now and that gives me time to make sure I'm good to really ride.
