I took a little gander at your instagram - nice work! Must admit, I stole that 4x4 warning photo and sent it over to irritate a couple heep buddies. I'll have to take a look sometime at the tire carrier you fab'd up. I'm gonna build one but I'd like to check out a few more pivot designs before I start burning metal.

Welcome! I look forward to meeting you in person.

Thank Zjohnson. That sign is funny.. but also true. I think that’s why everyone hates it so much. And definitely good to get some ideas. I know there is a ton I would have done differently if I had to redo it. Although I am happy with it and it’s held up amazingly.

Are there monthly or quarterly gatherings by any chance? Also does anyone know if the Bankhead forest has trails to get lost down?

HOT South has a meeting the last Thursday of the month. It's been held at Baumhower's in Huntsville for a while, but may be relocating due to Baumhower's closing/moving. Keep an eye on the clubhouse or Facebook pages, one of the guys will post updated info if the location changes.

Also, check your inbox.
