**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

I bet I travel back to Indy 4 or 5 times a year to visit friends... such a boring drive on 70.

 

Same here. Brother lives in Brownsburg. The drive sucks. That Haspin Acres places looks pretty good though. You can camp ANYWHERE on the property, but also has designated camping areas with water and facilities. $35 for two days of camping and wheeling isn't too bad. I hope it's not too packed though.

 

But they don't have a 4x4 truck/Jeep track..

 

It would be worth checking out.

 

Yeah, I'm going to email them because I see some truck and jeeps in their pictures.

 

I should have my lift and sliders by then, cant make the first trip but would be interested in the second if I can get the time off work. Ive never been out there is there much a stock 4x4 can do (stock being no lockers)?

 

This looks a lot easier than I expected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_WNmMWYaeA

 

There is haspin acres in Laurel Indiana

 

Have you been there? We've been discussing it, but I can't tell if they have anything our trucks can get around on.

 

@bluewaters182 has been there if I recall. Not to Moab but Windrock. I may be wrong. It would be my first trip there though but the person who organizes it is a local Cleveland FJ owner.

But I'm sure there is plenty for a stock truck to do.

 

I want to make a badlands trip this summer.

 

I go there a couple times a year. There is plenty a stock taco can do there. Here are some vids when I only had a 2.5 inch lift and nothing else and didn't have much trouble then. Since I've modded my truck a bit more I've been through some sections that would torn some stuff up so there is something for everybody there

This happened on my last trip a few months ago with a buddy fallowing me down a trail. It was slicker that shit and it I think mostly driver error. But it can happen.

 

Don't take my word for it, but all I hear are bad things about Haspin. I've never been personally, but I've been told to skip there and go to Badlands. Badlands is a great place. Haspin acres from what I have been told by numerous people is a giant mud hole with lots of dangerous drunk rednecks. Your mileage may vary.

 

I remember seeing these pics now. That might be the ticket for us, then. Thanks!

 

There are some nasty mud holes that would swallow a taco out there. I try to only go when we haven't had rain in atleast a couple days because when the trails are wet it is super slick there. There are a bunch of drunk rednecks out there on quads but the place is big enough to where you can get away from the most of the time. I'm pretty burntnout on haspin but it's the closest thing within reason to a real off-road park around here. I don't trailer my truck so it scares me to go to anywhere farther than that. The group I always go with arebheading down to rush off-road lark in Kentucky later this month. Wish I could go to check it out but I'm going to play it safe since I'm moving soon

 

Sean, here is a write up and torque spec guide. That video shows some incorrect things and no torque specs.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. My truck is my DD and it needs to get me there and back. I'll stay away from mud holes and whatnot. My truck isn't a mudder and I HATE getting stuck in the mud.

 

Thank you. I was just searching for the torque specs. I'm trying to get my "go-box" together and want to have all of the specs written down before I head anywhere, just in case.
Thanks again!

 

hmmm, I would love the details in this... I am considering something like that too. The tools I need and a part or two.

 

I don't keep a single tool or spare part in my truck... Unless it's a long haul wheeling trip.
