CK5 - The Full-Size GM Off Road Community

Well, I figured since everyone else was doing it we needed on to. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'm down close to the water in Mobile, who's next?

I'm just north of B'ham. About 3 miles from the trails in Gardendale and just a little further away from the trails in Mt. Olive.

I used to live in Mobile, about 4 or 5 years ago. First I lived off of Old Shell between Hillcrest and Schillenger. Then I moved into mid-town off Government on St. Catherine Street near the old Delchamps. Just writing this makes me miss "Butch Cassidy's".

Man, I swear Butch C's has one of the best burgers in town! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif You're making me hungry. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Originally from Tallassee, but do to the military, currently in NC. I will be back there soon enough though.

Well I can piss on Alabama from here! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Hey Rob, we wouldn't have you!! /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

PS Congrats on the new edition!!

I am as close as Rob , but I get a bad rash every time I cross the state line so I can't stay very long ........ /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

That's ok, we generally try to discourage riff raff like you from coming here anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Count me too! I am about an hour north of P'cola. Brewton is my home. Im sure you all know of this thriving metropolis! Glad to see that not everyone has a hard-on for big rocks. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Anybody new? /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif

In Mobile. Blazer is currently spread over 3/4 of a body shop in Saraland. I'm brand new to this. Find me on the West end of the island when it's done. /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif

Kewl, glad to hear someone else is in Mobile. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I've got mine spead out here at the house so I know what you're going through. Would I have seen your K5 running around town? If you ever see a blue lifted crew cab that's me.

Do you ever go to the truck show at the Sonic on Moffett Rd. (3rd Sat of the month @ 4:00)?

Maybe we could meet up sometime and swap lies about our trucks. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

WAR EAGLE Sorry. Had to get my 2 cents in here again. I am formerly known as camarine. Looking forward to doing some wheeling back home real soon. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Come awn man, get your butt home! There's only about 6 or 7 of us across the state we need all the members we can get! /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

I nursed mine down from Grove Hill. so there's no way anyone has seen it runnin around. The car show sounds like fun. They used to meet ar the one on Government. /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif

The car & bike show still meets at the Sonic on Gov't (used to meet at Whataburger). The show on Moffet is strictly trucks. /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif I have heard a rumor it may move as the Sonic mgt has changed again. Steve Blitch of Steve's Off Road is pushing to keep it going somewhere, I'll keep you posted if it changes. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

:D Huntsville here....

Cool deal. Next time I am down I might have to make a pit stop in Huntsville on my way back through or something.

Alexander City here!!!!!!!!! Lake Martin!! But as of now $hitsonville NC. Can't wait to get back that way though. Can't wait to get back to Gray Rock. Just left there a few weeks ago. Check out my pics on RocketCityRockCrawlers.com go to Trail pics, then CAOS FALL FOR ALL 2006, then Jake's Pics then scroll down. Look for the Blue Hoe!!!!! We are trying to get a ride up @ Gray Rock in the spring so everybody keep their ears and eyes open for that post and date.

Uncle Sam decided I was the type of person he needed at Fort Rucker for a while. Delt with John already(good guy), and maybe someday if I ever get the Sub rolling I might get up to Grey Rock myself and meet a few mopre of you. Trying for April, but we will see.

Cool, always good to see another CK5er in Alabama. :thumb: How long will you be stationed here?

only through thend of summer or fall.

Well atleast for the weekend.. The wife and kids and I are coming home this up coming weekend. Somebody post up and try to come up with a place to meet that is good for everybody and we can get to know our fellow ALABAMA K5ER'S. Just a thought. How does some where in Birmingham sound? Or maybe Auburn. Both are about an hour from me but it's pretty much central for everybody else. I'll run it through the wife and hopefully we'll know for sure what everybody wants to do. Just a thougth guys. Later....:D:D

Or maybe Auburn. :D:D



There you go John. Maybe you can visit a real university then........:D:D:D:D:D



I think most of the CK5'ers are either down around Mobile or up around Huntsville. Last time I was down, I went down to meet John and had lunch with him. I forgot how long of a drive it was down to Mobile from Wetumpka.

Oh there is a member there in Wetumpka too. I haven't had a chance to meet him yet.

That's why I tried to pick a place half way of the state. I mean hell I'm driving almost 700 miles to see you guys surelly I'm worth driving about 70 for :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused::confused:.... Either way I'll be there. DOING A LOT OF HUNTING.... From a shooting house because of the ankle surgery. May just shoot from the fourwheeler. Let me know guys I'll be there from Fri. to Wed.

im in gulf shores area...nvrenuf you need to hit me up, I am new on here. Do you ever go to the spanish fort area?

Montgomery area here.....

I go over to the Spanish Fort / Daphne area occaisionally but most of my time is spent in Mobile. We'll definitely need to get together sometime. Check out a local a local board - www.lockitupoffroad.net (http://www.lockitupoffroad.net) - our club wheels pretty regularly.

I saw carson halls name in there, do you know him? his dad worked for me awhile back...nice kid

I am in Pensacola for another couple months. The Blazer is in TX though. I miss it.:(

Yeah I know Carson, you're right he's good guy...big ol boy too. :eek1:

thats putting it litely... no pun intended does he still have the scout?

Yeah, he's still got it but it's been down for upgrades for a while. For the last year or so he's been wheeling in a borrowed Samuri (believe it or not :rotfl: ).

Technically Abbeville, but i actually live on Lake Eufaula, just across from Ft. Gaines GA.

I still get a bad rash on my hide everytime I cross the state line but I still come and visit my partner in crime Johnny 4x4 ........

Tom

lol maybe you should try some vagaseal on that bama rash....just kinddn. Do you have any good places to wheel over there in p-cola?

Right off I-10 in Loxley

Damn, there's more in lower Alabama than I thought.

The best wheeling spot I've ever played in is in P'cola, Jones Swamp - naaasty place after a little rain. :pimp: Unfortunately, the neighbors and greenies are trying real hard to shut it down.

we need to plan a weekend to get together and go wheelin

I dont have my truck, but willing to make a drive in my car. Got a camera and dont mind takin tons of pics....

Can't remember if I replyed or not but located in east central Alabama Tallapoosa co, Hackneyville. Hell, I ain't close to nothing!

Welcome all. I will get back there soon enough hopefully.

Krazy Kid, I am from Elmore county right there on the other side of Tallassee. I will have to look you up next time I coe down.

I've got parents a few miles south of Atmore, AL and I'm an 3/4 an hour south of there in Cantonment, Fl. <----Cantonment is turning into northern Pensacola.

Gordon Al here but I spend a lot of time on south end of Lake Eufaula.

well im not from Bama...but i sleep with an L.A. woman every night....shes from Opp (if anyone knows where that lil hiccup is) been there once to visit her family....nice town but i dont think id wanna live there.....too far to drive to find anyplace really worth getting thrown out of :haha:

we have sold Opp, Al some wastewater lift stations. Thats the only reason that I've heard of them.

I fly into the Andalussia-Opp airport frequently.

fly a little higher and you should be able to miss the Silo with the Maglite on top of it :haha: :haha: :haha:

Speakin of flying over things. There is a TV tower near Bonifay that we flew over whe I was doing instrument training. It is a 2000' tower and we over flew it by only a couple hundred feet. The closetst I have ever come to a tower. Thought my buddy was going to fly right into(I was backseatin it). Bad part is, is that he had all his vision restricted so he couldn't see out of the cockpit. the Instructor Pilot didn't think a thing about it. Me, I was a little worried.

Hey, is there anyone in Alabama got a D60 and a 14 bolt they want to get rid of at a good price?

Well after over a year and a little over 100 posts I have become a supporting member and can add my name to the Alabama roll call, I'm about 20 miles south of B'ham in Pelham.

right next to southern offroad and the colonial refinery.

[quote=desertrat67]right next to southern offroad and the colonial refinery.[/qu\ote]

You are correct Sir, yes I not too far from those Guys at Southern OffRoad One of those Guys has got A Bad A$$ K5.

Only stopped by there once looking for hubs. Didn't see a K5, but they had an old bronco and some heeps. The owner, Steve I think, was a real helpfull courteous guy.

Originally from Chicago, now in northern Alabama in a little town called Henagar. I moved here about 3 years ago.

Hey ya'll, I'm originally from Gardendale (and my folks still live there so I'm there often) but I'm currently in graduate school at Auburn.

Sorry to hear about that!:haha: J/k, I went to MS State. Auburn has a Landscape Architecture program and we were competitors at the field days. (It's a landscaping thing)

You gotta love an Auburn guy that drives a red & white K5. :rotfl:


j/k ROLL TIDE! :wink1:

Wooh that thing is some kinda pruty. Nice rig. I have always wanted one just like that.

ooh, pretty. I love the red on white paint scheme.

Now fella's I said I go to Auburn, I didnt say anything about being a fan of the place. I'm one of those irritating guys whose not into football that much so I'm for either team until they play each other, then I lean to Bama cuz that's what I was raised on. It is easy to cheer for a team that wins consistently (such as Auburn) though. Anyway, football's not my thing, I'm a hockey player and fan. Heck, I don't even buy my student tickets. Plus my bachelor's is from Troy so I'm really a Trojan fan.

And, thanks for the compliments on the truck. It's a 90 model with over 180000 on it that I've had since December and it's only stranded me once down in Dothan.

That,s a really nice 2-tone K5 you got there, I got a 89 white and blue 2tone that I been wanting to get some pics posted on here. I'm gonna try and do that tonight.
Ever seen a tan and red 2-tone K5?

Sorry to hear you got stranded in Dothan. Guess it is better than being stranded in Ozark or Daleville though.

Ever seen a tan and red 2-tone K5?

Friend of my dad had one when I was younger. A friend of mine has one tan & green and I have seen a blue & tan.

Mine used to be Black/Tan before the PO and a case of budlight decided to OD it.

Here it is. 89 K5 Jimmy in Summit White-Smoke Blue Two Tone.
I did not like the baby blue pinstripe it had on it so I changed it to red.
I would like to see a tan & green two tone K5.

Anybody? anybody?...........Buelller?...............Bueller ?

Watson's ORD rig is Tan & Green. Does that count?:haha:

****, I'll throw in here. I was born in Decatur, went to grade school in Huntville, middle and high schoolin Birmingham(Chelsea to be exact) and was stationed in Mobile for my first unit. My folks live in Daphne and that is the area I want to get stationed next.

Hey SEMPER PARATUS there buddy, I was a Coastie back in the early 90's.
I was stationed in St. Petersburg Fla. on a 110 (DECISIVE WMEC629) then Air Sta. Mobile and my last station was the coolest,
ANT Demopolis.

Anyone ever hear of a town called Rogersville? I didnt think so. Its in the NW corner about 1 hour West of Huntsville. thats where i am originally from but now reside in Clarksville, TN due to the honors of uncle sam. I have some buddies down around dothan, enterprise and opp and will be down there in a few weeks and possibly have my truck with me. any suggestions on where to go to wheel down there?

Well, I'm in Atlanta, and originally from Knoxville (Maryville) Tennessee. But I figured I'd have to step up and represent Dad's hometown of Fort Payne, AL. I get over that way every so often to visit Dad's grave and see my uncle and cousins. I've always dug that small town.

I was living near Birmingham for a while in a little nothing of a town called Odenville. It's North of Leeds and Moody on Hwy. 411. They don't have any redlights or 4-way stops. They got a Jack's (shudders at the thought) and a Piggly Wiggly just a few years ago (like after Y2K) :haha:

I don't miss Odenville, but I have a friend in Leeds. And as stated before, I dig Ft. Payne. :D

What's wrong with Jack's? Thats some pretty good eatin IMO. Better than McDonalds or Burger King.

What's wrong with Jack's? Thats some pretty good eatin IMO. Better than McDonalds or Burger King.

Maybe it's just that I didn't grow up with them around me. I was like 21 or 22 the first time I saw one...never could like any of their food, but that was abuot 8 years ago. I may like it now.

I also never understood why everyone in the area seemed to be doing backflips over Milo's. I tried twice to eat a burger from there. I got 1/2-way through the first time, but only because someone bought it for me without my knowing, and I was trying to be nice. Their tea is good though. They sell that stuff over here in convenience stores.

I will be the first to admit that I'm picky with fast food joints. There's no middle ground with me for some reason. Either I like 'em or really, really hate 'em.

Stay where you are. There isn't jack in these parts. It is all flat and not a rock for many miles. The whole area is sand or dirt and I have yet to find a trail worthy of being called a trail. Oh yeah, I won't be comming up to Campbell. Got orders for Ft Hood, again. Enjoy your time in Rucker.

ryan

well i was only coming down to see some friends and i was going to have my truck with me anyways. oh well. well lucky you. Fort Hood guys are out here right now and it happens to be who i am tracking. I actually track the blackhawks for those guys. They seem like a good group of people. Well, most of them. There have been a few that i had to tell what them what i thought. You should have it good though. Maybe you will make it to hood right before they get back and have some time to get settled before all Heck breaks loose with them coming back. taker er easy.

Anybody planning on coming to B'ham for this? Oct. 19, 20 & 21.
