Northern KY or Cincinnati trucks??? looking to wheel

Im setting this thread up as a means to organized and discuss off-roading trips for anyone in the local Cincinnati/dayton/KY area. If you are looking to WHEEL your truck this is the thread to post in. i will be monitoring this thread for interest in WHEELing...

Im a member of the local off-road enthusiast group but i figured i would extend my invitation to wheel to ANYONE who's interested in joining us or setting up something exclusive to tacomaworld. I Don't care what you bring, just as long as you are looking to have fun.

Please take note:

*We wheel several places locally,some are for stock vehicles & some are not.
*There is a high likelihood you will get some rash from trees/branches.
*You might get stuck and require tow/winched out
*You might break parts.
*You might get body damage
*You might get flat tires
*Hell You might even void your warranty...

Now, with that being said let it be known that i daily drive my second gen taco and and still wheel it at least once a month. It is recommended that you at least carry your own recovery gear (tow strap+clevises+tow points) and have a back up plan if something goes catastrophically wrong. Generally speaking that does not happen but i want everyone who is interested in WHEELing to understand there are risk you take when off-road your vehicles.

*per the interest i receive on this thread i will determine the places we consider. if i get ONE reply than we can keep it real local... but if there are several enthusiast perhaps then we can make time to get down to windrock or black mountain or something. Feel free to post on this thread any questions or comments in regards to WHEELING or WHEELING related stuff (i dont give a F**k about floor mats or headlight mods)!

-in town there is normal civilized stuff including auto-parts stores and nice restaurants so no worries about actually "ruffing it" is u dont want.

*the plans are to get there set up camp on Thursday then wheel Friday and Saturday. I myself will be arriving late Thursday Eve and may or may not get a hotel depending on rain and TOA. My cell is 513 518 9282 if u get this far and need to ask questions feel free to call.

 

Late feb already looks like i have a solid 4 tacomas coming out. prolly keep it close, as in 491 offroad.http://www.bills491offroad.com/ or maybe bigrock http://www.bigrockoffroadpark.com/articles/home.asp

Bills is 15.00 per head. and bigrock is 20.00 i believe. both are close enough that you dont feel like your driving forever just to get there.

 

My buddy and I would probably be down for some time in late Feb. or early March. I still need to get some dam sliders though.

 

check out http://4xinnovations.com/c-1803.html he seems like hes got a good deal going on .. u cover the cost of the gas and ill weld them on for ya' if you need.

ur jeep friend get tow points yet?

 

here are a few from recent trips in 10/11

 

WOW, impressive indeed sir.

 

thanks but yours could prolly do it too man... looks like you need to make a trip over a few states

 

good looking out lrgrnr. i keep an eye on the Indiana TTora thread for formal events in fact, i bought mark's, NwiTACO, all-pro bumper.. look familiar?

 

na, thought most oh peeps where further north.... no?

 

edit: just noticed Lrgrnr your from NC... i thought u where from indiana.

 

looks like asheboro NC is 8 hrs from me. 4 hrs is the drive limit for a wheeling trip for me. whats in between?

 

werd! keep US posted on any official dates to either... i will be going to black mountain with the hummer club here in the spring.

 

I have a formula. 1 day for every 2 hours drive time one way. That means I'll day trip up to two hours.

2-4 hours, I need at least the weekend.

4-6 hours, I need a long weekend.

6 hours + calls for dedicated PTO time.

 

I feel ya with the good logic... windrock at coal creek is 4hrs from home. its just too long to drive down and wheel on one day. let alone come home. maybe if we get a big taco group we can make a long weekend trip with hotel/primitive. (doesnt' matter to me)

 

zip here is 45242

I-70 E
501 mi to rausch creek.. thats 9hrs. is that right?

 

Uh...we got a sizeable group coming and I'm planning at least 3 days. Larry is doing the same, possibly 4. We gon' git down, ya'll.

 

details son' .. haha when and where?
