Alabama thread!

The guy who makes the bearings, his name is Bill @BamaToy1997 . He was part of our Bama crew for a long time before he moved to Navarre, and is a good friend of mine. He's a one man operation, and his website states that his shipping is is 2 to 7 business days. If you ordered a week ago, it hasn't been 7 business days. Monday-Friday are his business days.

He makes each bearing by hand and takes his time to put out a perfect product. He's a great guy, but can only produce them so fast. Quality takes time brother.

I realize the need is big when a wheel bearing is going, but it all depends on his work load.

 

Yea I know and understand his situation and I mean let me be clear I saw the time frame and I knew it would be a wait when I ordered and I know his product is top of the line so really not that butt hurt about it but still. I was under the impression he was a legit business and not more of a one man show side gig kind of thing. I might have chosen differently if I had known better considering my time constraints.

I'm sure I will receive a top of the line product and now I know better for when I order my drivers side.

 

There is another guy on here who makes them, but he doesn't have a very good reputation. Even a mod here ordered one of the other guys and ended up sending it back and ordering one of Bill's bearings. Just order when you have the cash so you have it when the other one goes. A precision product takes time to produce, and is not something I'd buy from a guy who quickly throws them together.

 

Anyone do anything else other than plasti dipping to paint wheels ? Anyone powder coat? Might be looking at doing that sometime in the future.

 

I've seen a few people powder coat wheels. Looks great but can be a little pricey.

 

Yeah, I mean, why not just buy aftermarket rims for a little more?

 

Let me get a ROLL TIDE

 

What a game... RTR had me on edge for real. What are some good after market wheels that don't break the bank too much ? Might look into it.

 

Summit racing has some good looking wheels if u dont mind steel. And u can get a couple hundred for ur stock alloys too

 

how much is it? I'll be in bham tomorrow, could possibly pick it up for you.

 

Thanks man that's a generous offer but I got something worked out. My GF's dad is letting me borrow his truck to run up and get it tomorrow.

Something pretty funny is that his truck doesn't have a towing hitch believe it or not... I was going to rent a u-haul flat trailer to come get it but that wasn't going to work so I came up with a very alternative solution!



Come hell or high water I'm getting that damned shell home tomorrow haha.

 

Damn. If your anywhere near Shelby you could borrow my trailer any time

 

As long as you get it, thats all that matter

 

Icon wheels or pro comp

Edit:ion not icon my bad

Looking to get a sub setup. Thinking about buying a box on here for 2 12 inchers that was built by MrMarv for 145~ shipped to me that goes behind the rear seats,or there is a dude in TTown selling his eBay box with 2 Rockford Fosgate 10" and a pioneer Amp for 200~. Anyone have a sound system and can tell me what will sound freaking awesome? That 12 inch box can be used as a single 12 or a double, the box comes apart apparently. I listen to everything but I for real love some bass

 

Not on this truck but I want one for my next one lol

 

Tired of driving today. Birmingham and back pretty much nonstop sucks.

That V8 in the Tundra tho...

 

Where do you live?
