Alabama thread!

Wow, a few new names in here. Welcome guys! We have been talking of an Off road trip sometime soon. I believe all of us are currently working to get a few mods completed before we hit the trails.

 

I reckon I can add to the mods day finally. Got my Toytec installed this week the the help from a friend. We over thought the hell out of those stock hydraulic shock reservoirs at the last meet and mod. Also took my mud flaps off the front and modified my rear so they are basically look off but still "on" covering the gap for my rear bumper behind my rear wheels. Also added a couple stickers. As anti sticker as I am, I may just kinda like the white on white look. Now on to wheel spacers and new tires.

In Mobile too. Will watch for you.

I live in West Mobile and drive a dcsb Barcelona Red TRD Off Road 4x4 with a camper shell if you see me around the Hillcrest/cottage Hill Road area.

 

Going to AOP Monday-Tuesday

 

Installed my poly carrier bearing, that doesn't fit my truck right. It appears that I have a different drive shaft than older second gens. More modification will be required than normal for me.

Still don't know how it's going to perform.


Also, changed all the fluids to mobile 1 synthetic.

And installed my rear breather.

 

Anybody what a free compressor.

 

Yes

 

Sold to the highest bidder. Fun part will be figuring out how/when we can meet up to swap it unless you want to ride all the way to Huntsville to get it.

I'll be coming down to through Montgomery on June 3rd early afternoon if we don't meet for a ride earlier.

 

I was waiting for someone to ask how much....

 

Nice.

 

So when are we going on this ride guys? Stoney lonesome? This coming Saturday??

 

My wife has been wanting to go to some brewery up that way and I've been wanting to hit some trails. Works gonna be crazy for the next two weeks, will you be around on the 21st? TW meet for some offroading?

 

Probably Straight to Ale or Yellowhammer. I should be ready to do something on the 21st. Still need to paint my skids and swap my springs for sure. Winch won't be connected by then, but that is ok.

 

21st would be a no go for me, all booked up for that weekend.

 

I'm flexible other than this coming weekend.

 

Looks like I lost my low tone horn again. Found a good place to mount them thou. Changed the oil and emptied my oil container, so now I can move on to the driveline fluids. Cleaned up my skids, so they are ready for fresh paint. Wife will be gone for the evening, so hopefully I can get something done.

 

Skitzo-type 18 wheeler driver comes onto the yard to deliver. Out of left field asks if I'm upset that I couldn't vote for Bernie.
"Aaaaalright pal I signed your little paper now get off my yard, have a nice day."


Monday.

 

I like seeing your quote of the day. Keep posting them.

 

I'm sure they'll do their best to supply me! You really meet some characters that either are coming off the road trucking or in construction crews.
